Rincon Sol

An average hotel that is way overpriced. Breakfast was very delicious, but dinner was terrible. You can choose from 5 ordinary appetizers and 5 ordinary main courses as well. My husband ordered grilled tuna, but they served him tuna that was microwaved instead. I ordered Mexican-style chicken, but I received a red sauce with broccoli and fried potatoes instead. A huge disappointment when it comes to dinner. And a small beer costs €3! The best thing about the whole hotel is the view from the balcony. Anyone who wants to experience good Spanish cuisine should avoid this hotel!

We had used this hotel earlier this year and had a great time. As we were in the area again it was an easy decision as to where we would stay this time. It is just such a comfortable place that is straightforward, no nonsense and very enjoyable. It is brilliantly located on the beach and even has its own beach bar with sun beds on it. These are chargeable by the way even if you are a guest. Our room was a sea view one and it is definitely worth paying the extra for this. It was wonderful to use the terrace in the morning and the evening and wake up in bed to hear the waves and the seagulls. It's worth noting that from about midday until 6 pm the hotel is directly in the Sun so you can't really use your terrace then unless you want to sunbath. The rooms are simple but well laid out and quite big. We had a cooling box rather than a fridge and although those no kettle in the room you can borrow one free of charge from Reception. The air-conditioning was effective and the bed very nice indeed and we slept well. Parking is a bit tricky and there were no spaces outside the hotel when we arrived on a busy Sunday. We parked about five minutes walk away on a rough piece of land which was €1 a day. The staff are very helpful indeed so this is definitely a good option should you wish to stay in town.

All in all it was a wonderful experience..... top location, you have the sea a stone's throw away, beach towel service very much appreciated ....delicious food... compliments to the chef.....only flaw the breakfast....often cold....excellent variety of fruit in the buffet....
