Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a lovely sized balcony, comfy, modern, and generally clean, but I felt they could have paid more attention to the cleaning process. The service was friendly and accommodating, although some improvements could be made. The location, next to a great beach and a little lake, was lovely, yet it seemed a bit new and lacking in greenery. The dining options were a bit of a nightmare due to overcrowding, but the meat was good. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs but provided a decent stay.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the sea, offering a new and engaging evening program. The rooms are spacious with extra-large beds and a balcony, yet the cleaning process could be improved. The dining experience offers local seafood but can become repetitive. Overall, the value for money is noticeable but being outside of the main areas might not suit everyone.

The location is fantastic, just by a great beach and close to a little lake where you can see ducks. On the downside, it was a bit bleak at times, seems to be new with plants and trees still growing, and a bit far from everything.

The location is superb, right by a stunning beach and in a peaceful setting. It's a bit new, so the surrounding plants and trees are still growing, but it's a lovely and quiet spot close to Jerez, Rota, and other beautiful areas like Cádiz. Perfect for a relaxing getaway.
