Incredible hotel, amazing attentive staff. My first visit to this hotel. Would gladly recommend. All felt very quiet and private. Felt more like an experience than any other hotel I have ever stayed in. Very clean throughout. Vast breakfast selection. Xiomara was incredible on reception (definitely a manager in the making) made the hotel feel like a second home, something I have never experienced elsewhere. Ever. My first visit and I am in very little doubt it will be my last. Cannot recommend enough. My only one thing to note is top of hill so may not be any good for people with mobility issues.

The hotel and staff were an absolute dream the hotel itself the grounds are beautiful and very clean, during the week there are free events in the adjoining restaurant. Breakfast was nice as was dinner a small selection but it's enough. It was my birthday and the staff gave me an extra surprise in my room. I can't thank them all for making my weekend so special I can't wait to be back thank you all once again

Fabulous hotel, all staff were extremely helpful and friendly, always offering a smile.
Rooms spotless and pool area is calm and serene.
Food is excellent and variety of eggs at breakfast is fantastic.
Only downside is the steep hill to get to the Old Town, however a taxi is 3 euros.
We will definitely be back

This is a lovely hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The dissapointing points of the hotel to us was the pool and the lack of amenities. The pool is more of a cooling off pool, it is not a swimming pool as not deep enough, only one side of the pool is suitable for a swim. We arrived off the plane and by the time we had got checked in and showed to our room it was early evening. We decided to go for a drink after out full travel day only to find the main bar didnt open until 6.30pm and the pool bar closed at 6.00.pm. As we were still in our travel gear we really didn't feel like sitting by the pool and especially as we didn't have long enough to enjoy it. We arent big drinkers at all but a nice long cool drink would been lovely after a days travelling. The hotel is well situated but if you go to the main bars on the resort, it is uphill on the way back. The breakfast bars were very well stocked and a good choice. There was the usual people saving sun loungers by the pool early morning and no idea why as plenty of loungers. Not what we expect from a boutique hotel. The staff will go out their way to provide a good service for you tho but for us we won't go back. Lovely hotel and rooms but lacking on amenities.

Best hotel ever. Ever. We booked direct, which meant that the hotel threw in a free airport transfer (air conditioned Mercedes). Having caught a fairly early flight, we arrived well before check in time and were given a free glass of cava, use of their changing and bathroom facilities to freshen up, and their secure luggage store, and we were invited to use the pools etc as we wished.
The hotel feels like a collection of separate suites built around a maze of beautifully-tended pathways and immaculate tropical planting. There is one smallish outdoor pool, and a second slightly smaller one adjacent with waterfall and spa bubbles. There's a bar and a spacious terrace here too, with loungers and stunning views across the water. There's also a small gym within the complex, with a couple of weight machines, limited free weights up to 14kg, and a couple of cardio machines. At 3pm our room was ready so we were welcomed with more cava, given a voucher for yet more free cava in the cocktail bar later, and then escorted down. We'd booked a basic room which consisted of bedroom area with a vast and very comfortable bed, a bathroom with waterfall shower, and a living area with sofa, chairs and a well stocked and affordable mini bar. There was a beautiful outside area through sliding doors at the far end of the suite, with chairs, loungers and ocean view. Everything was immaculate, and there was a constant stream of discreet cleaners and maintenance folk around the complex. Since we were here for a special occasion, the team also knocked on our door with a bottle of complimentary fizz five minutes later.
The hotel is at the top of the main strip down to the harbour (not that this means noise or intrusion), so lots of restaurants and bars nearby, plus late-opening supermarket very close. Puerto el Carmen didn't seem like the greatest resort but this hotel was a bubble of utter luxury. The cocktail bar was good, the staff were universally friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was amazing. Again, it included help-yourself bubbles, if that's your thing, but also beautiful breads, wicked baked goods, fresh juices, cheeses, meats, cooked special items and extra buffet hot food. If you've ever fancied a full honeycomb, celery and cucumber juice, or potato foam on your egg, you can get them all here.
Check out was at 12, and they booked us a shower room for our own use before the car back to the airport in the afternoon. "You're still at home" said the lady on reception as we hamded back our room card.
I don't usually bother with writing reviews but this place was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful, the welcome was generous, and every aspect of the facilities was brilliant. It's not a cheap place, but it's incredible value for what it offers. Truly exceptional.
