L’arrivée à la réception a une vue magnifique sur la mer avec une décoration soignée. On s’attend à trouver les chambres dans le même bâtiment mais il faut ressortir , traverser la rue et monter des escaliers qui vous amène dans la rue au dessus ou les chambres donnent directement, La porte en bois qui ouvre la chambre est un peu vieillotte, sinon la chambre est grande avec une terrasse et une jolie vue. La salle de bain est correcte avec un miroir grossissant , un sèche cheveux , un bidet et les toilettes intégrées. Le petit déjeuner se prend dans le bâtiment de la réception mais pas à l’extérieur malgré le cadre malheureusement. Le personnel vous sert à table dans l’ordre d’arrivée à la salle à manger. L’hôtel est bien par contre je déconseille le restaurant ou la nourriture est chère et bien moyenne avec un personnel limite agréable.

Íbamos pensando y pagando un hotel de cuatro estrellas,la habitación nos la dieron en un edificio anexo ,cosa que no me importa, pero qué no estaba al nivel del edificio principal. Estaba bastante viejo y deteriorado.Otra decepción fue el desayuno poco surtido ,poca calidad, y sin capacidad de preparar ni unos huevos fritos. Que hotel de cuatro estrellas da ese servicio?

Il plus dell'albergo è la vista magnifica, specie le camere con terrazza sul mare sono veramente piacevoli. Personale molto cortese e disponibile. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, specie fuori stagione. Unico neo, alcune piccole manutenzioni da fare (tipo la porta finestra del terrazzo che si apre a fatica); probabilmente in inverno sistemeranno tutto.

Very pleasant stay

Great place in a very pleasant village that has lots of shops and restaurants and a very nice beach. Great base for exploring the Cabo de Gata national park and coast. This hotel has a few rooms with terraces that look out directly over the sea and village with no obstructions or roads between the room and the sea. Other rooms, the the annex I assume, are just as lovely but do have a small road and a few rooftops between their terraces and the sea. Still a lovely view and the road is quiet at night so it is still a wonderful location.

Hotel direkt am Strand

Wir haben zu vier ein herrliches verlängertes Wochenende verbracht. 1 Zimmer im Nebengebäude mit Terrasse, das andere im Hauptgebäude mit Meerblick. Direkter Zugang zum Sandstrand, gemütliche Bars und Restaurants in der Nähe, die wunderschönen Strände Playa Monsul und Genoveses sind in wenigen Autominuten erreichbar. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert.
