We loved the pool area which was well maintained. The breakfast was fine and plenty of choice. Rooms are good size however, our air conditioning didn’t work but we were only there 3 days . Shame roof bar not open . We have stayed several times as always good value for money . Marco and his colleagues on reception have always been really pleasant and helpful. We will definitely stay again.

Fantastic holiday
Great value for money & a fantastic holiday. Booked a premium room with pool view & couldn't fault it. Beach/pool towels, dressing gowns, slippers, toiletries, hairdryer, fridge etc. were all provided. Water & a small bottle of wine were also in the room on arrival & we were given a welcome drink at the pool bar. The pool was spotless, with plenty of loungers & a great atmosphere. Breakfast also had a great selection & there were plenty of places to sit inside & out. Location of the hotel was perfect for us; a short walk to town centre in one direction & beautiful beaches, bars, cafes, & the lighthouse in the other. A small supermarket, ice cream shop, rental place & a few other little shops were also in the same block.

Good points: - comfy beds - Plenty of sun loungers - friendly staff Bad Points: - no fridge even though we were just bed and breakfast - had to pay for Wi-Fi - endless stream of mosquitos in the room. We would kill them and they just kept coming. Bitten a lot at night, woken up by them and always seemed to be at least 3 in the room. Seemed to be coming from the vents? - ceiling fan constantly clicks once it’s been on for more than 30 mins. - There were no dairy free alternatives and breakfast was not suitable for those with dietary requirements. Only half the food was labelled so as someone on a plant based diet, my breakfast was dry cereal or bread and fruit. - address wrong on the page so was confusing when taxi driver asked where we wanted to go from the airport. Not in La Oliva, it’s in El Cotillo.

Thank you for your visit and for sharing your experience and for the positive comments about the service of our staff and the comfort of the beds; We feel that this impression has been carried, at breakfast there is a variety of fruits, skim milk and soy milk available to customers, such friendly staff that you mention knows how to provide that information. Regarding the address, the municipality is La Oliva and the town is El Cotillo, we will review it, thanks for your input. I remain at your entire disposal if you might have another comments, Best regards,

Perfect for our needs
This was our second stay in cotillo beach hotel. We chose it mainly because of the location. It's footsteps from some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world in the laid back village of El Cotillo. You won't find any nightclubs, shopping centres or sunloungers just beautiful white sand beaches where you just need a towel and sunscreen. There are numerous bars, cafes and restaurants in the village, but most close around 9.30/10. The hotel itself was perfect for our needs. Very comfy beds, excellent housekeeping and very friendly, helpful staff. We were half board and found the food very good. The new year's eve dinner was impressive. I really appreciated being able to swap dinner for lunch. The pool area was clean and comfortable. We did get into the pool. It was freezing, but we expected this in Dec/Jan. There was a daily schedule of activities which included pilates and zumba. I would have loved to participate in, but unfortunately no other guests were interested at that time. The only gripes i had were the internet and the small group on all inclusive who sat by the pool bar all day drinking until they fell over. Apart from that, we loved it

What a brilliant little hotel. Staff were always ready to help, food was plentiful but there is a but. Surprisingly, at breakfast, the sausages were always just warm, and in my view, the bacon over cooked. Apart from that and the lack of sink and bath plugs in the room, which might be an issue if you have a small baby to bath, the hotel was perfect. If you want good food too, go left out of the hotel and go towards the coast. There are numerous restaurants there which are all amazin coupled with the view.

It was really peaceful. Food was very good and varied although after 11 days it did get a bit "the same". I got a superior room which was quite good with TV, fridge and near pool. One thing that was annoying was the mosquitoes which I didn't expect so early in the year.

The only thing that lets this hotel down is its food. Limited choice and usually Luke warm wondered why there were a number of microwaves in the dining hall but not all food responds well to reheating. Must mention a waitress called Susan. Nothing was too much trouble for her, lovely woman.

Lovely hotel, wide and low, dominating the mid to morthern end of town. 2 floors only and a large central courtyard with 2 pools and many palm trees means it doesnt feel cramped or busy even at peak times. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially in the canteen. Food was plenty good enough but real food snobs would complain im sure. Our only real gripe is the wifi. Not cheap if you want wifi in your room, and the free wifi in the lounge is dire, almost usekess.

One of the best experiences I have ever had
It appeared that the hotel is a, to put ot mildly, Very nice place, quiet, perfect for chilling holiday. You can go there either alone, with your parner or whole the family. Professional, attentive and friendly staff on al levels, high level of cleanliness, loads of wonderfull food and drinks. Very good bar for the evening time. My room was very good too: spacious and brigh with all apliances yoi need, like airconditioner, tv, mini lounge zone with armchairs and coffie table, mini fridge and some stuff to make your own tea. I found it very handy that there is hairdryer in the bathroom. Hotel is in a short walking distance from both of the sand beaches or if you prefer you can stay at the hotel beautifuly arranged pool area. There are numerous of shops attached fo the hotel, so you literaly do not have to wandering around searching for anything. There are 3 white cats living at the premises, they give that relaxing feeling, which only a cat can give you. I do not remember all the staff names... But I would like to thank Maria and other lady and gentelman at the reception, restaurant staff, housekeeping staff, bar staff and especially Virginia, Mario the animator, who managed to keep guests of all ages in good mood all the time. And I would like to send my biggest hug to Malcolm, the snow white friendly cat, who was my room and patio companion during my stay at the hotel

Warm welcome and comfortable
We were greeted by the friendly receptionist who couldn't do enough to ensure we were happy and comfortable. The room was well-equipped, comfortable and cleaned regularly - useful if you bring sand in from the beach! We opted for breakfast only, and it was great. Plenty of variety and freshly prepared. I attended a few stretching/yoga classes laid on which added to the experience. The pool area is attractively landscaped and pool itself (the shape of the island) is well maintained and the right temperature for a bracing morning dip or relaxing when the sun is overhead. Skirting the former fishing village of El Cotillo (now a surfing mecca) and the visually unique wilderness of the island, a stone's throw from the beach, I'd say this hotel is perfectly positioned too. Would absolutely return and recommend.

Lovely but some downsides
The hotel was lovely and clean. Perfect for a holiday. The location was not very good (el cotillo) but the hotel made up for that. We hired a car and it made up for the location, the beach is literally the first view when you leave the hotel entrance. Pool was lovely (and cold!) the all inclusive drinks were horrible and tasted like they were flat, the coke was worse than supermarket cola. Other than that this is a pleasant place, el cotillo has a small beach and the food places around it are awful (unfriendly locals). You need to be all inclusive or have a car if you want to eat out at night. I’d recommend staying at this hotel as it is better than I expected for the price.

Time ran out too quickly - a good sign!
Fit for purpose 3* hotel about 20 minutes away from a really fantastic long sandy stretch of beach great for swimming and surfing - a must! Hotel faces onto much closer rocky coves with a couple of smaller sandy bays for a wave free swimming experience. Plenty of walks around the backdrop of hills behind the hotel and to the old 'Dutch' windmill and the lighthouse just to the north. Lovely pool and food while not 5*, perfectly acceptable at this price level. Decor and cleanliness a strength of this hotel

Very boring buffet selection.
You have to like fairly much the same food every day because that's what you got. The salad bar did not change very much at all, and in the end it was extremely boring. We went half board as my wife doesn't drink alcohol. That sets you apart from the all inc crowd, you have to take this embarrassing green card that looks like a rail pass into the restaurant each evening to get it ticked by one of the over zealous staff. At night the stairway leading to our room was constantly unlit, making it quite dangerous. On check in we were assigned a first floor room, they have no lift and no help with your luggage, we are in our mid 60's and lifting those cases, up the long flight of stairs, was no fun. We had to request a plug for the bath or sink? If you wanted an extra pillow you went to the reception and they got a pillow case out of a cupboard behind reception and then a pillow from the office and gave that to you to carry up to your room. The shower, although very powerful had no anti slip mat to stand on, you just had to hope you did not slip on the smooth plastic bath tub you were standing in!. A thoroughly scary feeling.

Great Hotel
Just returned from a fabulous stay at the hotel, all staff are very friendly, helpfull and courteous. Meals were better than we were expecting after reading some reviews, was always something to eat with a choice. We stayed in a superior room which was worth the extra charge, only point I would put to the management, is to supply some where outside to dry wet towels etc? And possibly the inclusion/option to have a picnic meal to allow day trips? (Although we never asked?) Entertainment was ok, with a surprising great act from the tenor Alex Martin and his 2 fellow musicians. Excellent stay overall.
