"Hotel had only 25 to 30 guests out of a capacity of 200 plus. Potentially a lovely place- near good walks and beach, nice grounds and rooms and good gym. But.....
The spa which they are still advertising is unusuable
€26 to play tennis !!
The only vegetarian option at dinner, mushroom ravioli, contained meat !
No vegetarian option at all on 2nd night so we had to eat pasta and tomato sauce
Laura was the only saviour as she put on a yoga class and tried to enthuse the small number of guests....

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, ideally located close to the beach. We decided to go with breakfast only which was very nice. There is the town of Morro Jable 5 minutes taxi ride away which has some lovely restaurants and bars at the seafront. This is where we went for dinner as we didn't want to be "tied" to the hotel every evening. Would definitely recommend the hotel and location.

Great break. Food was really good and varied. The weather was surprisingly good right up to Christmas Day itself which started windy and slightly overcast but soon cleared up. Only issues were lift broken down for a couple of days and bathroom could have done with a decorate/refurb.

Many locals and some hotel staff have a better command of German than English because of the number of German guests staying in this area.

The hotel is centrally located with everything including the beautiful, long, white-sand beach within walking distance. Very friendly, competent reception staff and a quick check-in experience with no waiting. The room (suite) was very large and well furnished with a separate sitting area. We had a lovely balcony with view to the ocean and light tower. The breakfast and dinner buffets were modest but included something for everyone's taste.

The food was varied and catered for all tastes and nationalities.
