"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel - and I let the reception staff know how much we liked it on checking out. The beds were comfortable, the shower was efficient and it was good to have two chairs in the room to relax in. I particularly liked the breakfast buffet. No hot dishes but that was fine with me. Nice breads, cereals, cold meats and fruit. I don't understand, though, why hotels in Spain (of all places!) don't have grapes in the buffet. Nicely located too away from the biz but...
