The service, perfect. From the front desk to the restaurant, exquisite and very professional service. The food surprised us in a good way.

Local Guide·9 reviews 6 hours ago New The best thing about the hotel is undoubtedly the pool and the staff. The pool is huge, it is surrounded by grass and invites you to spend the day. The staff, especially Rocío, always attentive and helpful. The bad part, everything else. We arrived and the room smelled like smoke. It is no one's fault, of course, just the previous guests'. But if it smells, you have to leave the windows open to air it out. They changed our room and it smelled like sewage. Since they covered it up with air freshener, we didn't really notice until the next day when the smell was already unbearable. You cannot sell a room if it smells like that. The hotel is not cheap at all and is very basic. We tried to stay at the pool when we were leaving (thinking about having something at the cafeteria and eating at the restaurant, so we would be spending money) and they told us it was not allowed, only with late checkout, for which you pay 30%. Very poor for the service and price they have. I have been to 4 and 5-star hotels where I have been able to spend the day of departure at the pool. The restaurant was also a disappointment. We ordered two steaks, grilled, expecting a juicy and well-made dish and we found dry steaks, which turned into a ball when chewing and with little flavor. A shame because they weren't exactly cheap. I had a discount for being a Tugasa client and they didn't point it out to me, I realized it and mentioned it, but they did the bill wrong. I realized it late, of course. The breakfast was also mediocre. It wasn't very varied and when things ran out there was no one restocking. I don't think it's worth including it in the reservation. In general, I went with high hopes and good previous reviews and I left quite disappointed.

Might have rated nearer 5 had the room been bigger! Described as a double room, but whoever slept by the window needed to perform aerobics to get into bed……it was that close to the wall, and insufficient leeway to move the bed sideways! Pillows were pretty massive, and consequently not that comfy. Sadly the grouting around the over bath shower was looking distinctly tired. Receptionist friendly and helpful. Good parking outside the hotel, which is within an easy walk of the hugely popular Setenil village.
