From arriving and having an excellent fast check-in experience, this hotel didn't disappoint. Rooms are decent size with smallish balcony overlooking the central area of the pool and sunbeds also the pool bar. Hotel is kept immaculate by the staff who are pleasant and greet you warmly every time. Breakfast is plentiful and we never had any queuing. Coffee machines are a bit slow but coffee is good. The only gripe was a coffee machine instead of a kettle, I like my cup of tea, water wasn't quite hot enough for that.

“Lovely Staff, lovely location, lovely hotel.”

Fabulous hotel. Spotlessly clean rooms, dining and main area. Friendly helpful staff, lovely breakfast. There is building work outside but we didn't find it intrusive at all. Would definitely recommend and we will be back next year. El Cotillo is beautiful. Beaches stunning and lovely restaurants.

“Best hotel in town?”

Great hotel, friendly staff, good choice of food for breakfast, only ate there once in the evening and the buffet, although not exceptional, was good and reasonably priced. Good location - an easy walk to the beach or one of the many restaurants (more than I expected in a small town). Yes, there is… more

Great hotel, friendly staff, good choice of food for breakfast, only ate there once in the evening and the buffet, although not exceptional, was good and reasonably priced. Good location - an easy walk to the beach or one of the many restaurants (more than I expected in a small town). Yes, there is building work going on on two plots between the hotel and the sea, but if you have a first floor room with a pool view, i.e. with your balcony facing the large inner area where the pool and pool bar are situated, it really is not intrusive. A crane being operated from ground level doesn't make any real noise. Another review mentioned the lack of a plug to be able to use the bath. I guess that may be deliberate to limit water consumption, but that reviewer wasn't particularly resourceful. We asked at reception and they immediately opened a drawer and gave us one, no bother. There is a row of shops including a HiperDino Express supermarket in the same block as the hotel, plus a really good ice cream shop, so it was easy to get supplies of lunch time food, beer, wine etc to consume on the beach or on our balcony to avoid the pool bar prices (although we did use that bar when using the pool). There is also an excellent bakery a few hundred yards away where you can get a good range of sandwiches, quiche, toasties either to take away or eat in. I would also recommend the make-on-demand fruit and vegetable juicing unit in there - lovely healthy blends. Back to the hotel: excellent sunbeds (you could raise not just the back but also two thirds down could be raised to give support when sitting), and there were even a number of full double bed sized units with cushions, for no extra charge, and there was never any pressure on sunbed availability while we were there. Our room was spotless and the maid service was excellent. The only minor quibble we experienced was that the "double bed" was actually two singles together. Thinking back, maybe I should have checked to see if the castors were lockable, but it did give us a laugh when the beds moved apart and one of nearly went down the middle... perhaps a couple of short bungees to pull the castor wheel units together would have solved that one! Overall, very happy with our stay.
