Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great views and some inconvenience. The rooms were very nice, modern, and comfy, with spectacular views from every vantage point but required navigating many stairs, which was a challenge. However, the check-in time was slightly delayed until around 3 pm. The service was a mix of rudeness and friendliness, with some staff being wonderfully attentive while others seemed indifferent. The location offered beautiful views of the region but had limitations in certain areas. The dining experience was first-rate with a good selection of Spanish treats. Overall, a memorable stay with its ups and downs.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although in need of a touch-up, had a certain charm to them. However, the lack of a full menu available in-room was a downside, and the soundproofing was not up to par. The service was a bit hit or miss, with staff being somewhat disorganized and not overly friendly. The location, with its stunning views but noise issues, offered easy access to coastal areas and beautiful hillside villages. Overall, a stay with both highs and lows.
The hotel offers a good size room with a shabby appearance that could use some refreshing, especially problematic in windy conditions that disrupt sleep. The valley-facing rooms in the new building between the pool areas felt a bit tired and didn't match the grand surroundings as expected.
