Great facilities, two pools and three places to eat. The food at breakfast and dinner was buffet style and could not be faulted. Right next to the beach, sit around the main pool and bar or take advantage of the Beach club which is adults only. You can use the facilities for the rest of the day once you have checked out. There are several smaller places to eat within walking distance.

The car parking!! A rip-off. You are charged 15 euros a day to park your car. If you go off for the day you have to pay up to get out and then get a new ticket on your return

Very nice large property right on the beach with a huge pool area. The room was beautiful with lots of space. The bathroom had a tub and shower, 2 sinks and nice amenities. Beds were comfy although it was 2 beds basically pushed together. We took the buffet breakfast and dinner and they were phenomenal, highly recommend as the food was hot, fresh and tasty. The staff in the hotel and restaurants were pleasant and went out of their way to make sure you had everything you needed/wanted. Highly recommend this place. AND they have pickleball courts / 4 nice ones with permanent nets.

Nothing; would stay there again!!

The staff was more than amazing, so nice and professional,by far their best asset. Location is quite good and the Hotel itself, such a beautiful place to rest and forget about everything. Also Álvaro from Candor Wellness and his team have the best treatments.

Customers could smoke everywhere, woke us every morning (we were at a studio) and also in the surroundings of the swimming-pool.Maybe the law has changed... Also the swimming-pool was dirty; and there was no water pressure in our shower.

The hotel, the staff, and the location!

Their “amenities charges” were a major shock to this seasoned traveler! Until this trip, we have NEVER been charged for any “room amenities”! This facility actually charges 50 cents (euro equivalent) for each coffee pod, each sweetener packet, each creamer, ice , even the complimentary lobby coffee (3 euros per cup), and the list goes on!

Wonderful location - great for relaxing by the sea and access to a fantastic (quiet) beach for strolling. Rooms were well equipped, super clean and spacious. Friendly and helpful staff. Wide choice for breakfast and great restaurant looking out to the ocean. Want to come back!

Minor point: bathroom design was a bit odd in the studio accommodation (shower in view of the front door to the room).

Room spacious and comfortable with all the amenities (except a kettle, but that's a Brit thing!) Balcony overlooking gardens. Breakfast buffet caters for all tastes with plenty of choice and an extremely jolly chef. The beach is a sand/pebble mix but commands great views. Several restaurant choices and poolside bar. We loved the pickleball courts too.

The menu could have had more Spanish/Mediterranean options.

Beautiful friendly hotel. Lovely 25m warm pool. Very comfortable. Good location. Seaview Terrace. Excellent breakfast.

This year, hotel introduced parking charges for hotel guests. Approx 15 Euros a day! Hence big empty car park! Most guests parked free in the side roads nearby. Expect locals aren’t happy with this.

Unfortunately, we were only able to enjoy this wonderful holiday resort for two days. We had a beautiful and spotlessly clean junior suite. The staff were friendly, the pool was great, the breakfast was excellent, and the restaurants were very good. We’ll definitely be back – but for a longer stay next time!

I can't say enough good things about Playa de la Luz. It's an old school resort for the locals. The property is meticulously kept and beautiful. Our room had a patio in front looking at the pool, and a window looking directly at the Atlantic surf in back. The pool was huge and warm. Food in the restaurant was very good, and we got an hour-long free flamenco show unexpectedly while at dinner. I could have stayed there another week or two easily.

No criticisms about the resort. A tip to visitors - I went swimming in the Atlantic (very comfortable, even in early May) the evening we arrived, which was wonderful. I went out to swim it again the next morning, the tide had gone out and was a half mile out from the shore! Oh well, swim in the pool instead. Life is tough sometimes. ;-)

Location! I opened my curtains each morning to see the sea! Helpful staff! Great pools! The bar/restaurant by main pool is lively, staff super nice, food good!

Parking should be less expensive for guests. Lounge chairs by pool aren't adjustable.
