NH Almenara

We stayed at this hotel twice: the first time in June 2024 and the second in mid-July 2026. The hotel is beautiful, and we felt we got a good price compared to what one usually pays for a 5-star hotel in May 2024. The food was arguably the highlight of our experience; we chose the all-inclusive option for both stays. The weather was favorable on both occasions, with temperatures reaching 30°C or higher. CONS: It is not a cheap hotel, so one expects a certain level of exclusivity; however, this isn't the case, as non-guests can pay to spend the day using the pools, spa, and other facilities. This is particularly notable considering we paid 4,000 euros for six nights in mid-July 2026, plus another 177 euros in tips. I noticed some changes regarding toiletries during my second stay; for instance, while they used Grown Alchemist products during my first visit, they had generic products during the second. KIDS Something that really disappointed me was that at the family pool—which also houses the kids' club area—both guests and non-guests could purchase bottles of wine. On one occasion, I saw two women sharing a bottle of wine (obviously glass) right at the edge of the children's pool. In July 2026, the hotel was full of British "influencers" taking photos in the children's pool, which the hotel's community manager would then repost on the hotel's social media channels. BEST One thing I want to highlight is that all the hotel staff are exceptionally friendly and great with kids. The young women who work by the pool entertaining the children are amazing. The food is INCREDIBLE good, but also is what I expected paying €4,000 for six nights plus tips. Would I go back to the hotel? Honestly, I don't know yet.

We had a great stay at SO Sotogrande. Appreciated the nice design of the villas. Golf is very well organized an kids had a great time with the fun activities at the pool. Golf course is not too difficult. Beautiful vies

We love this hotel, the service is second to none, restaurants superb the facilities immaculate and the Gospel Choir singing Queen songs at a concert in the garden amphitheater was out of this world, thank you. We have a 10 days stay in early September, really looking forward to it, see you then!
