My favorite part was the access to the beach which was right in front of our hotel. The bathroom shower is small but for the view, parking availability and amenities I give it 5 stars.

We stayed in the hotel for one night before flying home. It was very convenient, with its own car park, but we didn’t get to use facilities like the pool.The location is great - right next to a surfing beach, the restaurant menu looked great but we were too tired to use it and the staff were excellent. The room was a good size, with a small balcony looking over the beach - a safe provided and room facilities were good, only two negative observations- paper cups were provided for hot drinks rather than mugs and the bath towels were small. For us, that was not a problem, but would be for a longer stay. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for short stays.

Amazing property, wonderful service. All the staff were so nice and very helpful. We loved every minute of our stay. They went the extra mile from the time we arrived to the time we left. The area is great for surf lessons, e-foiling, kite foiling. We also had perfect weather!!

Great stay, quiet and comfortable

We appreciated the decor very much design and natural (wood). High attention to eco sustainability (no plastic, soap dispensers, etc). Good choice at breakfast. Last, the location of the hotel is perfect to enjoy the best and isolated part of El Medano beach and only a 20min walk to the even bigger Playa de la Tejita (must see!)

Great location in front of the ocean with great views. No way to park and unload luggage in front of the hotel and NO signs to the front of the hotel if you are driving up. Decent hotel but some of the furniture is saggy old and faded .

I’ve stayed at Playa Sur several times and continue to enjoy it - the high wall surrounding the pool shelters it from the high winds for which it is famous in surfing communities and allows sunbathing- the mix of mature guests and young windsurfers works well and the restaurant is superb- brekky best I’ve had in a *** hotel

This hotel is okay. Not great, just okay. While it is on the beach with a pool, the hotel, itself, is not great. The room was pretty basic. No extras like coffee, shampoo, hand lotion. And there is no AC so our 3rd floor room was very warm. Also, we had booked a superior room with ocean view. We had to request a room change when the first room they assigned us had no ocean view. So, overall, not great.

When we got there were put in a room like a box nofin like what we asked or paid for. We asked for sea view and got a glimpse of the sea mostly mountaintop. After complaining about it put in a slightly bigger room but views still terrible . Will not be staying here again as for disabled person the dining is on the lower floor and no lift to get there. Only stairs.
