SOHO BOUTIQUE VISTAHERMOSA - HOTEL

Cadre agreable, chambre grande . Loin de la page . piscines sympas. Propreté moyenne ,

Greit hotell! Hadde et lite hus for oss selv med et lite svømmebasseng utenfor. Begynner å bli litt slitt.

Excelente ambiente.

The Hotel was lovely and the staff very helpful. Our room was wonderful and the mini bar very reasonably priced - we were actually happy to have drinks from it! My only downside was the menu in the restaurant which didn't change and was a bit misleading (I don't speak Spanish) as the translation made it sound like a snack menu but the food was actually great and large portions. This may have been because we were out of season and the hotel was quiet. There was a better menu pushed under our door on the last day but we weren't eating in that night. El Puerto Santa Maria is a lovely little town with interesting things to see e.g. Sherry Bodegas, and a ferry to Cadiz. However, would have been more difficult without a hire car.

Recepcionista muy bordé. Hotel viejo.

I stayed in one of the out buildings, pleasant enough, but not overly well built - lot of transmitted noise through from other rooms & a 2 / 3 mins walk to reception - which was a pain when the 1st room was dirty or the key card didn't work etc. Grounds & pool very nice & food service better than average. as I was there out of season (late Sept) no real buzz about the place & not much of a bar - maybe a bit more of an atmosphere during summer.

We ended up in an apartment so had a small kitchen & 2 bedrooms which we didn't need. But there was a washing machine which we took advantage of. No instructions on how to use it but all was ok in the end. No dryer so just draped our items over chair backs . Grounds, garden, pool & patio areas were very nice. People in the apt above were a little noisy but we still had a good sleep. Buffet breakfast very nice too. Reception staff was very helpful. No bars or restaurants really close to the hotel; we ate dinner at the hotel & had a decent meal.

The family room was spacious and well equipped. Staff were helpful and friendly. Short taxi ride to the centre of Santa Maria. Shops a short walk away.

I stayed here for 3 nights during the off-season (February). The hotel grounds are beautiful, even in Winter, and the view of the grounds from my balcony was great. This place is also a 2-minute walk from the Vistahermosa Commercial area, with restaurants, bars, a club, and plenty of retail. The room was well-appointed with plenty of space, even a washing machine. However, it constantly smelled of cigarettes, although I'm sure it's been non-smoking for years. The (free) parking situation isn't ideal, but isn't horrible either, requiring that you park on the street, walk to the main office, backtrack to your room, which could literally be over the fence from your car. I was a bit disappointed that the spa I was looking forward to was out of commission for a few months for renovation. The wifi was great... always important. I would stay again, but I'd probably look elsewhere first.

We have enjoyed this hotel every time we have visited Porto/Cadiz
