This is a truly amazing property! Absolutely gorgeous and well taken care of. The pool is beautiful. We had dinner on site both nights and it was fabulous! The breakfasts were amazing too. We were sad to leave this place.
From the moment we were welcomed by Yaima, to the gorgeous accommodation, to the beautifully and deliciously prepared meals, to the well maintained property, we felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
Beautiful location and area. A short drive to the town and beach with some lovely bars and restaurants. Hotel facilities were lovely and very relaxing.
Small, just outside of Agua Amarga...A beautiful location and easy to access. The room was elegant and clean...more space than we could use. The hotel area had a wonderful pool and pool house where breakfast was served each day with fresh fruits and pastries as well as fresh baked breads. Varied assortment of breakfast items each day were all great and refreshing. Quiet and relaxing, there are really no activities at the hotel except whatever you get yourself into so to speak. A relaxing hot tub just away from the pool gives a prime view of the night sky and a slight view of the Mediterranean via Agua Amarga's city skyline. The room is clean and well designed for comfort. A patio and deck are attached with privacy walls and a locking door. It is a restful and posh stay for the most veteran of traveler to the area and is well placed for the comfort of exploring the Nijar region.
Så lugnt och avkopplande. Så vackra vyer.
Utmärkt trivsamma rum och tillhörande uteplatser. Härlig atmosfär - endast 12 rum/suiter. Mycket trivsam service från personalen.
Vi uppskattade särskilt den goda frukostbuffén som avnjöts vid poolkanten. Mycket frukt och bär. Det som kan förbättras är servicen vid frukost. Kaffe serveras först om/när man frågar efter det och ingen frågar om man vill ha en extra kopp. Lite bristfällig påfyllnad när fat och tillbringare blir tomma. Med dessa mindre brister åtgärdade skulle frukosten vara fulländad.
Vi åt en middag på hotellet. Fullt ok, men tyvärr var vi de enda middagsgästerna, vilket förtar stämningen.
Sammantaget dock en underbart avkopplande hotellupplevelse.
Great experience. The site of the hotel is overlooking the bay of Aguas Amargas and the suites are spacious clean and have all the amenities.
Swimming pool and jacuzzi are great.
Thank you for hosting us
Es el segundo año que vamos, sigue igual de tranquilo, precioso, con una piscina grande y limpia. Cenas y desayunos espectaculares. Repetiremos por tercera vez
