We stayed at the resort because we have friends who live nearby. The location to the beach was fabulous. Pools were nice. Room was very spacious. We will return.

We stay at this hotel at least twice a year. The food is amazing, and the staff are really helpful and friendly. We've been coming here for the past 10 years, and Tirio is always fantastic. Isabel at the pool bar was particularly helpful. The only thing I can fault is the lunchtime opening hours and the queue to get food. Perhaps you could consider extending the lunchtime to, say, 13:30-15:30 to help prevent the current rush hour.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself is fine--polite staff, decent rooms (we were actually upgraded to a better room when we found that ours had two single beds instead of the requested double bed), and a good range of food choices at breakfast/dinner. The location is absolutely lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed renting bikes and riding along the oceanside bike/walking path. Downsides? It's odd that you have to pay to use the safe in the room. Most disappointing however was the 'couples healthy back massage' that we booked in advance. The young woman who gave the massage was very kind, but she was alone in providing the 'couples' massage, which meant that for half of the time, one partner was left lying face down on the massage table with just some warm gel on their back. Given that the "hour"-long massage began with 10-15 minutes in separate bath/jacuzzis, and the remaining 40 or so minutes was divided between the two of us, the total 15-20 minute actual massage we each received was disappointing to say the least.

First off I juat want to say how amazing Sonia from reception is. She was so helpful on all the questions we asked. And she went the extra mile for us in recommending places to park in Jerez where we were going to a wedding. Staff like her are really what makes a hotel great! On the hotel itself: Great facilities, great food and backs onto a golf course while overlooking the ocean on the other side, so every room has a great view. There's a separate adults only pool with plenty of loungers (the swim up rooms are on this pool which faces out onto the ocean). The beach itself is only a 5 min walk. They have secure underground parking, but there is also available parking on the street or a parking lot across the street. Cant fault this resort. Highly recommend a visit.

Great hotel, but poor maintenance
The hotel is great and the beach and location (Costa Ballena) is amazing. Nevertheless the heating devida at our initial room did not work at all. They managed to hance our room around 23.00hs but as the new room had its working turned off (being a vacant room) it took hours for the new room to get temperature and thus we had a very rough cold night... Apart from this problem (which we understand with a good and diligent maintenance should not have occurred and at least have passed unoticed by hotel staff) the hotel is very good and the staff is very friendly). Breakfast is great by the way.

Great room and location, not adults only pool
We stayed in one of the swim up rooms attached to the adults pool. The room was lovely but I don’t know why it’s called an adults pool when there are more children there than adults. Other than that, the hotel was very nice and in a great location

Nice but could've been better.
Hotel was nice, however, with our room being placed on the ground floor, we were able to hear some event that involved some man talking into a microphone and children running up and down the halls, laughing and yelling until almost midnight. The room was clean, but there was no comforter on the bed so it got cold through the night having only a single sheet to cover up with.
