“Lovely”
Only stayed for one night, loved the town, wish I stayed longer. Staff were really nice and welcoming. Rooms were clean. We booked two rooms and they were kind enough to have them next to each other.

“Too expensive for room, distance from town is a bit of a walk.”
Friendly receptionist, who went out of her way to assist.

“A birthday treat, sadly not..”
I should have read the facilities. I asked for a pool, parking and restaurant. I assumed there would be a bar. Trip Advisor rated it # 2 in San Jose so that was good enough for me. We are pensioners but enjoy a hotel with ambiance, there was none. The worst experience was the breakfast. No buffet, you were given a tray at the counter and was given either a small baguette or a croissant. Then offered processed cheese and ham and a small plastic container of grated tomato. I asked for a croissant as well as a baguette and was told I could only have 1 item. Coffee was available and they gave us a glass of orange juice. Jams and butter were also available. This has to be the most bizarre breakfast I have ever experienced in a hotel/hostel. The staff were pleasant and professional. The garden/pool area had loungers, no cushions, 2 small tables and 4 small chairs. For 37 rooms this was not enough. All in all we were very disappointed. Should we have gone to another hotel you may ask, we did not as we had to pay for the 3 nights whether we stayed or not.

Room was with conditioner, small balcony and minifridge. Brekfast was included - for the one time it is good enaugh, however I expect more variable set especially if stay for more days. The Swimming pool is also great addition. Beach is in 10 mins walk. Nice hotel for the shot stay.

The hotel was in a good location for exploring the Cabo de Gata. There was plenty of free parking and the town centre was only 5 minutes walk away.

“Great value for money”
We loved this small hotel. We parked easily out the front In their car park(imagine it would be packed during peak) We had a room with a terrace which was lovely to relax on and enjoyed the pool after a day of doing the sites.

“Conveninet spot in San Jose but cleaning can be improved”
The position is convenient if you have a car and it also has a private parking. The swimming pool is great to chill during the hottest hours.

The staff was very pleasant and helpful ie. suggesting which beaches to visit for activities as snorkelling and such. Furthermore they helped in where to go based on weather reports, wind force and direction etc. The location is perfect for visiting the beautiful beaches of monsul, genoveses, rodalquilar and many smaller less known bays.
