Lovely rural hotel in a nature park

This hotel is great for a short break for rest and relaxation. It is set in a natural park, up and away from the coastal road. The track up to the hotel needs a 4x4 to get up to the parking space, but that makes it feel more exclusive when you make it up there. There is a good outdoor pool and places to relax on the terrace overlooking the area down to the sea. The rooms are clean, but the bathroom is only separated by a curtain so you have to be very comfortable with your travelling companion. We stayed in a mountain view room and had a small terrace where we could sit and view the stars at night. It was also good to have a fridge in the room so we could keep our drinks chilled. We also enjoyed our hikes around the immediate area.

Unique, clean but basic

It is in the middle of nowhere. Scenic. Basic hotel, clean and very good staff. No wifi in rooms and TV had one channel. You have to drive if you want dinner. Overall it was as advertised

Secluded paradise

This place is utterly enchanting. A little isolated at the foot of small mountains with small private terraces looking out across the unspoilt landscape to the sea. I walked down to the beach in 15 minutes. It has a lovely swimming pool and many communal areas. It was May so very few people. Made for a fantastically restful few days. Right in Cabo De Gata Park so an easy drive to other spectacular wild beaches and the village of San Jose is about a 15 minute drive away for restaurants and shops. It looks like the place was just refurbished to an excellent standard. If you want to get away from it all in Spain but still enjoy the sun and sea this is the place-at least in the less busy months. Only drawback was the food in the restaurant was so so and a bit pricey but other than that wonderful.

Aussergewöhnliches Hotel mit Blick aufs Meer

Einsam in toller Lage, am Ende einer Schotterstrasse. Großzügige Anlage mit schönem Pool, leider kein Restaurant und eingeschränkter Barbetrieb. Internet nur in der Rezeption. Schöne Zimmer mit Terrasse und gut funktionierender Klimaanlage.

Recomendable solo para amantes de la naturaleza

El hotel es único, está en un pareja natural protejido y por eso el acceso es un camino de piedras. Si buscas la civilización típica del turística este no es tu sitio. Lo maravilloso del enclave son las vistas a los volcanes 2 Frailes y la playa de los Escullos. Recordar respetar el entorno libre de basuras, botellas y plásticos y podrás disfrutar de la fauna desde tu balcón: perdices, lagartijas, familia de conejos de campo y aves esteparias...

För dyrt och inte alls värt sin 4-stjärniga status

Det här hotellet är rustikt och mitt bland bergen. Utsikten över havet är begränsad, och man måste köra på lång, smal grusväg för att komma fram eller ta sig därifrån till stranden. Platsen är fin, men inte alls 4-stjärnig lyx. Trots att hotellet var tomt pga lågsäsong, så fick vi ett dubbelrum på baksidan med utsikt över en bergsvägg. Vi fick inte rumsservice eller ha mat på rummet, och baren vid poolen var stängd. På rummen finns ingen möjlighet att koka/dricka kaffe, ingen hårtork, och ingen wifi. Man får små påspaket/provpaket med schampo istället för små flaskor eller tvål. På toaletten fanns endast en liten plast-"korg" utan påse som skulle vara till sopor, och drog till sig myror. Maten i restaurangen var redan förgjord och bara uppvärmd av receptionisten, vilket inte är bra när man har allergier. Vi såg aldrig någon annan personal förutom två receptionister. Sammantaget var det för dyrt och inte alls värt sin 4-stjärniga status.
