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.

Spacious rooms with magnificent beach view. But folks, how about some decent bedside lighting. Friendly but service and advice on local sights could be improved. For the price it shouldn't' be so hard to get a second cup of coffee at breakfast. Here, it's about location and that is what it delivers.

Weekend, end July

Dinner, 18€ for menu, drinks included for non residents. Not included for residents????? Very good food, several choices, something for everyone, good value Breakfast bit of a disappointment, but OK for price 6€ continental. Cheap wafer thin ham, plastic type cheese. Very overcooked scrambled egg, swimming in liquid. No provision for any parking, Not even for disabled, it was a nightmare finding somewhere. Hotel on beach, albeit down steep staircase. 3 minutes walk to centre. Large room, large bathroom. overlooking sea but for the price we paid I did expect a balcony. Couldn't keep shutters fully open, room overlooked from property next door, and staircase to beach at front of room. Not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. No lift. We had a room on the ground floor but stairs to bar and restaurant and beach. Friendly staff, very high standard of cleanliness. Fantastic views from lounge and restaurant.

Dona Pakyta

This is off the beaten path but well worth the drive through Cabo de Gato National Park. You get to a beautiful little town directly on the beach. Dona Pakyta is a great little place with a very nice restaurant but also within a short walk of the main beach of San Jose. It's a pleasant little town and if you are interested in a large public beach that's where to go. Our room was on the hill overlooking the Med with double doors opening on to a balcony that gave us a view right out of a movie. The room was clean and pleasant and the staff were always helpful. It was a wonderful stay and we absolutely plan to go back.

Cozy small hotel near nice beach

The hotel was lovely. WiFi was sometimes a little slow. The hotel had less information about the surroundings than might have been expected, and asking a desk clerk sometimes took a while to find ways to get to places. The environment is lovely but we had unfortunately much wind

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

The chef ensured I had gluten free meals + made the extra effort to obtain gluten free rolls. We found the atmosphere extremely relaxing. This we feel was due to the endless attention given by the staff to guarantee that our stay was a success!

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.
