Guest Reviews
- michael (8/5): - The location ideal for sightseeing , and the resturant good selection of food.
Our room had its own patio. Noisy fridge in the room and the water from other rooms was noisy from a very high water pressure.
- Esther (9/5): Ubicación excelente para disfrutar de vistas maravillosas al lago - El trato del personal es inmejorable. Las instalaciones son muy cómodas. En nuestro caso disfrutamos de una habitación con patio anexo, una opción maravillosa para ir con niños. Nosotros pagamos 10€ por persona para tener desayuno incluido. El desayuno no es tipo buffet. Te sirven tostada y café o zumo. El jamón no es "del bueno", si quieres de pata tienes que pagarlo.
- TuckerH (10/5): - Nice clean room. Very good breakfast. A nice view of the lake. Ample parking. Nothing
- Gúiti (9/5): MUY BIEN - Limpieza, amabilidad personal de servicio, su ubicación. Nada que concretar.
- paule marie (6/5): - L’emplacement Pas d’oreiller et pour le petit dej pas de buffet et quand on ne connaît pas la langue c’est pas simple
- Pirkko Sipilä-Lähdekorpi (8/5): Kaunis ja houkutteleva uudelleenkin - Ympäristöstä, maisemasta, vanhasta "hengestä" hotellissa. Henkilökunta ystävällistä. Aamupala.ihanassa paikassa, terassilla, hieno järvinäköala. Palaamme ensi syksynä. Huone oli pimeä, eikä ollut pääsyä suoraan pihalle. Odotin, että olisi ollut ovi ulos ja patio ulkona ja pöytä ja tuolit. Hyvä kuitenkin, ettei ollut portaita.
Huone oli sinänsä ihan hyvä ja siisti.
- Wolfgang (10/5): Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt mit Bestnoten in allen Belangen. - Auf meiner bisher dreiwöchigen Reise durch Deutschland, Frankreich und Spanien war dieses Hotel meinen anderen Unterkünften in allen Belangen so weit überlegen, dass ich es ohne zu überlegen sofort wieder buchen würde, wenn ich in Andalusien in der Gegend von Arcos de la Frontera eine Unterkunft benötige.
Diese Überlegenheit kann ich übrigens auch dem Restaurant im Hause bescheinigen! Es gab nichts.

Chambre dans son jus. La salle de bain est vétusté. Besoin d'entretien. Les extérieurs sont très agréables.
Le pdj est servi au bar cafétéria. Moyen.

- Olivia (8/5): - Lovely lakeside location with comfortable clean rooms and a bar/restaurant on site overlooking the lake. The staff were pleasant and accommodating and we had a very pleasant stay. I have no complaints
- Tine (9/5): -
- FC (5/5): - Situación y personal Habitación y desayuno
- Maite (3/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): - Las instalaciones. El hotel estaba muy limpio y servían un buen desayuno.
Es un sitio ideal para hospedarse unos días y relajarse.
- Rochet (6/5): Le rapport qualité prix n'est pas au rendez-vous. - L'emplacement doit être agréable en été mais en décembre impossible d'apprécier pleinement. Le personnel est très à l'écoute et sympathique. La chambre manque d'équipements, pas de verre pour brosses à dents, une seule bonde pour lavabo et baignoire la salle de bains demande un gros rafraîchissement. L'insonorisation est aussi un problème.
- Verónica (10/5): -
- Carlos (9/5): Un sitio para volver - Estupendo
- Andrew (10/5): Most enjoyable - I like the area, and I like this hotel. It is a lovely hotel It was perfect for me
- Conchi (10/5): Encanto - Aunque el hotel tiene muchos años nos hemos sentido muy cómodos, sin duda volveremos por allí
- Richard (9/5): -
- jean (9/5): Emplacement de l'hôtel au bord du lac est un plus mais un peu loin du centre ville d'Arcos . - Emplacement de l'hôtel au bord du lac et le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse très appréciable.
Le petit jardin devant la chambre peut être très agréable lors d'un séjour plus long. Chambre pas très spacieuse,un peu sombre et sans vue

- Fermina (7/5): - El entorno expetacular
- María (10/5): - El personal muy amable y limpieza de 10
- EMILIO (7/5): -
- Maria Dolores (4/5): - La ubicación y la cafetería junto al lago Las instalaciones están muuuuy viejas. La habitación daba a un jardín pero las mesas y sillas estaban sucias y con telarañas y la salida del aire avondicilnado lo llenaba de agua, era inutilizable. Se oia todo lo de la habitación de al lado y el aire aco dicionado hacía mucho rjido. La piscina no es exclusiva del hotel, va mucha gente del pueblo pagando entrada y las instalaciones están fatal
- Noelia (9/5): - La zona,el personal y la comida
Estuvimos muy bien buen desayuno y buenas vistas,buena ubicación para relajarse, el personal muy simpático todos Tienen todas las instalaciones un poco abandonadas,deterioradas les vendría bien una reforma
- Raquel (10/5): Transmite mucha paz - Buen aire acondicionado Nada
- Almudena (8/5): Buena experiencia, pero con puntos a revisar - La estancia fue agradable gracias a las vistas desde el hotel y la tranquilidad, algo que se valora mucho en pleno mes de agosto. La almohada resultó bastante incómoda. En las habitaciones con jardín sería recomendable instalar una luz exterior, ya que por la noche no se ve nada. Además, el mobiliario de la piscina estaba en mal estado: gran parte estaba roto o muy desgastado por el uso.
- luzcai (8/5): -
- Pedro Jesús (9/5): tranquilidad y naturaleza deportes acuaticos - hotel confortable y tranquilo, con comedor y bar de piscina vistas a un lago y deportes acuaticos en la habitaciones de abajo tiene como una terraza/patio un poco abandonada, la bañera chica y estrecha. las almohadas muy desgastadas, pero nada de esto es escusa para no recomerdarlo
- Jose (8/5): - Habitación muy amplia y cómoda para nuestra familia de 4. El entorno es muy tranquilo y agradable. Tiene fácil aparcamiento y está bien comunicado. No tuvimos tiempo de disfrutar de la piscina ni de todas las instalaciones.
- Martin (8/5): Very good -
- Stephen (8/5): Location, facilities & staff exceptional - Location
- Edwin (7/5): A quiet stay with minor flaws - The hotel is located within 5min drive from the nearby town. We had a rental car so it was very easy to get in and out and the public parking right outside hotel is free so that's a big plus. City bus was passing by as well so I guess there is an easy route to town this way too. There are a few small shops and petrol station nearby if you need some basics.
There is an artificial "beach" near by and outdoor swimming pool is quite large. Overall nice and quiet area for stay. Breakfast was odd, we were expecting the usual European selection but instead had to "order". Not all items were available and early breakfast might be an issue. So if you need to have a decent and especially early breakfast - ask in advance or plan to eat elsewhere. Provided internet was reasonably good but phone signal was very spotty in the hotel, not their fault but just an fyi. Water reservoir is not clean so your only option would be outdoor pool.
- Juri (8/5): Very good -
- Hazel (8/5): Great place, helpful staff - Location cannot be beaten on the lake, plenty of parking. Food good, but very little choice for vegetarians let alone vegan. More vegetarian options
- Jennifer (8/5): Nice would repeat for a family weekend - Nice location with great pool and sports facilities in the big lake
Beautiful views relaxing
Nice for walks too
All in all a very pleasant stay Typical Cadiz / Andalusian hotel
- Zammitt (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yangbin (7/5): Good -
- Jeanette (8/5): Very good - Friendly staff, but not as attentive as in the past when we have visited. Not being able to use the pool after 7pm. Pillow was uncomfortable.
- Fred (8/5): Very good -
- Ueli (8/5): Very good -
- Bob (10/5): Exceptional -
- Óscar (8/5): Very good -

- Óscar (8/5): Very good -
- Ludovic (6/5): Pleasant -
- Caroline (10/5): Perfect place to get away and relax - I loved the location and the pool. The staff were friendly. For me the bed wasn't firm enough but that's a personal choice.
- William (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aleksandra (5/5): Passable - The location is excellent. Beautiful view of Arcos from the hotel and the lake. The room was very small, we were 2 adults and two children but we were put in a small double room. With an extra bed there was no room to move. Not good value for money at all. The beds were uncomfortable and it was hard to sleep due to noise levels. The doors had a massive gap below so all the noise from the corridor wasn't blocked. Understaffed restaurant and bar. Had to wait for ages to be served.
- Richard (9/5): Superb -
- Michele (8/5): Great location - Great location with plenty of free parking. Instant hot water, TV, aircon/ heater worked instantly, comfortable bed and very clean. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms are a little tired, but everything worked and was clean.
- William (8/5): Very good -
- Bariša (8/5): Great value for money, perfect location, some minor flaws of the hotel are offset with charm and the location - Location, very friendly staff, view of the lake, terrace, huge parking. Facilities and the equipment should be renovated. Staff in the bar should learn at least some english.
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Nice location on the coast of silent lake close to the one of the most beautifull cities of Andalucia, Arcos de la frontera. Good traditional restaurant. People very friendly, helpfull and professional. One very small deposit for garbage only in the bathroom. It will be better to have one more in the room.
- Marnix (8/5): Very good -
