We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at the end of May 24. We were on a Saga all inclusive holiday. The hotel is on a spacious site with well tended gardens, all areas of the hotel being kept extremely clean. Our room was spacious with plenty of wardrobe space. Sunbeds were always available during our stay. Staff were all friendly helpful and efficient. Despite other reviewers concerns we found the food in the restaurant excellent with always a lot of choices and well presented. Food was on self serve buffet basis, in the restaurant, drinks were brought to your table but the service was fast friendly & efficient. A very quiet adults only pool was very relaxing. Next to the small village/town of El Rompido and a short walk to the ferry for the unspoilt beach. This is a hotel to go and have a very relaxing time, not a place for discos and nightlife. Would definitely go back. I suspect the hotel get quite busy during the peak summer periods but late May, early June it was very pleasant.

“Wrong time of the year for us”

I stayed at this hotel at the beginning of November not realising that this was the last week the hotel would be open before closing for the winter and, unfortunately, this had an impact on our stay. It is in a lovely and quiet location with lots of bird-watching walks across the marshes. There are a few shops nearby but most were closed. However, we were able to get the bus into Huelva a couple of times which was well worth a visit. There is no beach nearby and the ferry to take you across to where there is a beach was no longer running. Our room was excellent with an enormous bed, comfortable furnishings and an over the bath shower. The hotel grounds were well looked after. The spa was excellent with a pool with lots of jets, jacuzzi, sauna, foot massage and everything was immaculately clean but I’m really not keen on unisex changing rooms! Breakfast was a bit disappointing with tinned fruit and eggs which were not cooked to order. A pile of pre-cooked omelettes next to a tray of cooling fried eggs did not look appetising. Lunch and dinner were better with a range of cooked food and, best of all, an amazing range of salads. The staff were all friendly and helpful but we did have the impression that things were winding down. It’s a lovely hotel with lots to recommend it. We just chose the wrong time of year.

“Fuerte Rompido no longer the hotel it was.”

This was my fourth visit to this hotel and sadly the hotel has changed. Our room was in need of renovation - our bath had a black patch where the enamel had fallen off, net curtains were brown, room overall was dingey.

This was my fourth visit to this hotel and sadly the hotel has changed. Our room was in need of renovation - our bath had a black patch where the enamel had fallen off, net curtains were brown, room overall was dingey. The restaurant staff and general staff were friendly and helpful. The pool is wonderful. The food used to be wonderful but the quality has dropped considerably. I even had to remove fresh fruit on several occasions from the display as it was mouldy and not fit for consumption . It’s sad as I’ve lived going to this hotel but I think cost cutting policies have now negatively impacted it. I shan’t be going again.
