Disliked: Staff & service
The perdon who checked me in was not particularly helpful, however the person who chrcked me out was rude! I asked for a taxi to the bus station, she hesitated, then called one taxi who said he was busy, she did not adk for how long. She hung up and then tried to convince me the bus did not go where I wanted to go. I knew better, butshe thought I was wrong and eventually just walked away from me. The other person working the front desk just looked the other wsy. I had to walk with heavy suitcases for 25 minutes to the bus station and rventually I got on the bus to the place I knew it went. There were no other guests st the front desk at the time. I was treated very rudely by your employees!

Good value for money
Overall, very good. Excellent staff. Corridors very noisy. Room cleaning starts early and staff have loud conversations. That said, most guests don’t keep their voices down I thought parking was expensive at €15 per day at such an off season time of year. Pool table had torn cloth, poor cues, and no chalk and expensive at €2 for a game. I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you.

Lots of food available at buffet. The facilities are big and clean. The beach is about a 10min walk down a boardwalk. They had filtered water machine for the guests. And the service was very accommodating and staff was super nice.

Good hotel in a poor location
Nice hotel, friendly staff and popular with 'sun birds' at this time of the year. Isla Cristina is a working town and certainly not a resort. Offers very little (in winter at least), nothing close to the hotel and nothing much to see/do in the centre/harbour. A car is essential if you want to explore the area....and get away from the drudgery that is Isla Cristina.

Pleasant hotel
A pleasant hotel close to the beach. Good for walking, bird watching. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant provided plenty and varied foods, though evening meals didn't begin until 19.30. We were on half board, though all inclusive is an option (VERY expensive if you wait to upgrade at the hotel) . Swimming pool was closed ([presumably for the winter). There is an activity organiser with a daily programme (not sunday or monday) and evening entertainment (mostly music and dancing). There is a small 'cinema' with a couple of films shown each day. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Supermarket about 200 metres away.
