Reviews and Ratings
The hotel sits in the stunning Sotogrande hills next to a golf course, offering beautiful views but requiring a taxi ride for dining options. The rooms, although a bit dark with small windows, provide good Wi-Fi and air conditioning, along with ample storage and even a quaint patio. The service, while not very accommodating overall, shines through the exceptional care provided by the restaurant manager. Dining options might be limited, and the location demands additional travel for meals. However, the setting is picturesque and serene, ideal for those who appreciate tranquility.
The hotel has clean and refreshed rooms, but the limited network access could be inconvenient. The food might need updating. Overall, a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers breathtaking views across the golf course and beyond, though the rooms are a bit tired and in need of a refurbishment. The service provided by the dedicated and smiling staff was top-notch, making our stay lovely. The tranquil location is surrounded by the hotel's own golf course, but it's necessary to get a taxi to find restaurants in the area. The dining options offered a good variety of choices, despite closing for the season soon. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
