La Ballenera Holidays

The hotel is superb but there are two things which were dissapointing, the Sherry shop in the hotel was closed even though it had an opening timetable and the other which is the one really dissapointing iz that the Hotel parking facilities are used also as a public parking and that being a guest in the hotel i get charged 50% of the parking which for 30 min that i had my new car i just picked up, it cost me 1.25 eur, what in my viiew it lower the hotel standard to very dissapointing, considering the amount of money i spent there. As a Google guide, I consider two issues shouldcbeclokked at , one that for a 4 star hotel, the parking should be exclusive only for guests and it should be complimentary. As being a public parking the last thing ne wants is to arrive from a long trip and not be abore to park in the hotel because the public may have occupied the limited spaces available as with restaurants, pubs and other hotels nearby without parking ,it may be used for someone who is not a guest, just to go to a nearby restaurant, impeeding the actual guest, who is paying a substantial amount for his stay, to be able to start his stance, with a true welcoming feeling. I believe the parking charge issie it lowers their rating to 3 stars when the rest it is really a beatiful experience, especially, in a town so remarkable and touristic as Jerez de la Frontera. Just for a few extra euros, i found it really a lack of class and business vision.

Very quirky tower room split over 3 levels, if you’re not great with spiral stairs it’s probably not for you or leave your bags at the bottom because those views from the top are certainly worth the effort.

Beautiful place once you find it. It's not easy to locate, so be prepared. If you decide to go to dinner at one of the local restaurants, plan to walk as parking is impossible. The view is lovely and the inside is very comfortable for a family.

being close to beach is a plus. the breakfast buffet was good.

The apartment was a good size and the bed very comfortable. The staff were lovely and it was a great location. The apartment was very sparsely fitted out and although the kitchen was of a good size the equipment (crockery, cutlery, glassware and utensils) were inadequate and of poor quality. The TV was very small, not a smart tv and only had Spanish channels. The living room was not somewhere one would want to spend any time in.
