Once inside the hotel, it was easy to forget it was situated on a busy road. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing and the views at the rear, beautiful - especially over the pool area to the mountains beyond. Our room was light and spacious and comfortable. The restaurant welcoming and the food delicious.

We were disappointed when we arrived to be told that our room was the other side of the busy road from the hotel. This wasn't mentioned on Booking com. There was an alternative room available in the main hotel for Eu 20 more so we chose to pay the extra.

A pleasant transit hotel on the main road. However, it depends a lot on which room you choose. I think it depends a lot on the room you choose. Economic Rooms face the road and are probably not a good choice. On the contrary, we chose the "Superior Twin Room with Terrace" and I definitely recommend it. The terrace had a beautiful view of a dense fig forest and behind it rose the peak of Mount Jebel Musa in Morocco, 20 km away. Everything was complemented by the soothing sounds of a small river flowing around the hotel. We did not hear any traffic noise from the road. They even provided us with a free locked garage for our motorcycle. Absolute satisfaction.

The staff were very friendly and the waitress staff in the restaurant were exceptionally hard working - long hours, day after day - and couldn't do enough for us. Despite our awful knowledge of the Spanish language, we muddled through with good humour and patience from the staff. The room was spotless, parking easier than it first looks, and the view from our room was amazing - looking straight over woodland to Africa. We suffered a country-wide powercut during a stay and the staff took it in their stride. Providing candles and still delivering exceptional food on a reduced menu despite no working oven - the chef and waitresses did a great job! Couldn't ask for more. Would love to visit again.

Nothing!

We loved our stay here. It's convenient to Tarifa but in the mountains surrounded by the Alcornocales National Park. The large rooms each have a private terrace overlooking the forest and distant mountains. There are two nice sitting rooms and a communal terrace with tables where we enjoyed morning coffee and croissants. The pool is lovely and nicely landscaped. The restaurant very good but a bit pricey. Free parking on site. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. This is such a restful, peaceful and quiet hotel which we recommend highly, even if you are a resident of Spain!

Nothing

Very clean place, they pay attention to details, gorgeous interior design. If you want a very relaxing stay, here is the perfect place, far from the noisy towns, just nature and some beautifully designed interiors where you can stay and read or whatever you want to do. If you are an active traveller, it is also the perfect place if you came by car. The location is 10 minutes from Tarifa and less than 15 from Algeciras. You can easily get to ferries for Tangier or Ceuta or to Gibraltar. Good food in the restaurant, breakfast, lunch and dinner, open until 11 PM. They have a delicious sangria. Their greatest advantage is the high level of quality vs. price.

The internet is pretty bad /slow, at least in our room, close to the pool. If you need to work and have online meetings, probably you have to move somewhere closer to the source, in some of the relaxing places that they have.

It’s was a really nice stay, room was impeccable, food on half board menu was lovely and plenty to choose from. Gardens are stunning !

It was all perfect

Beyond expectations: Truly beautiful, charming and spotless. Decor was gorgeous. We arrived later in the evening and were met with warmth and cheer. We received rooms on the first floor so we didn't have to take luggage upstairs. Dinner was served until 10 p.m. which was so helpful as we'd been traveling all day, and we didn't want to leave the hotel to find something so late. We did not want to navigate Tarifa at night, so this spot was perfect--super close but nestled in greenery in the hills. Don't let the road-side location deter you. Our rooms were quiet, lovely and the beds were excellent. We paid for breakfast, and it was huge: Warm bread, warm croissants, scrambled eggs, meat, cheese, fresh fruit, fresh orange juice and more. It was raining, so we didn't use the pool, but it was absolutely lovely and the large patio area was stunning. Do not hesitate to book this property; we were extremely lucky to find it. There is a lovely gift shop for guests, and the decor in the dining area and throughout was stunning--gorgeous wood-burning fireplaces, multiple sofa areas to gather, table and seating areas for cards and games, and the dining area was beautiful.

It was perfection.

The rooms and restaurant have this lovely aesthetic. Think white washed wood, linens, rattan lamps. Very luxurious and comfortable.We stayed in a bungalow amoung the lush trees with our 2 kids. Beds are comfortable, and the rooms are warm and pretty spacious. WiFi is good for streaming movies at night. Has a little fridge and kettle which was so handy. The restaurant, while a bit pricey, is delicious and has such a beautiful atmosphere.

It's located on the side of a very fast road which makes it hard arriving and departing by car. There is an underpass for pedestrians.

Location with free parking. Friendly staff. Plenty of different areas to relax. Gardens and pool were beautiful. Breakfast was very good. Peaceful and relaxing. Would go back

The bed needed to be replaced. Mattress badly stained and not very comfortable. The bed linen also needs replacing The bath was also well worn and refurb required No coffee or milk. Only herbal tea Small sachets of shower gel supplied but it would have been good to have complimentary body and facial supplies attached to the wall.

We loved our stay here and definitely plan to go back. The spacious garden bungalow we had was fantastic being of brick construction (others were of wood) and in a quiet secluded spot, yet just a short walk to the lovely pool as well as the main hotel building. We booked half board which proved to be a good decision as there are no other restaurants in walking distance. The food was very good too!

The only thing to mention is the pathways through the lovely mature gardens, which were quite over grown and very uneven under foot. So much so that it could be a problem for people with mobility issues.
