A hotel like this should have free parking, etc least when they charge you more than €400 for a night stay. Also as a guest you should have free access to the spa area

I have stayed in quite a few Hotels of the Barcelo group, especially the Royal Hideaway in Sancti Petri. This hotel is nice, clean and comfortable, however it lags in certain aspects in comparison to the Royal Hideaway which is also a five star hotel of the Barcelo group.. This is not a criticism of the hotel, since Covid I am sure has had a massive impact on hotels in general and their client basis and staff.

Fantastic hotel and superb staff
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The grounds and views were breathtaking, the facilities great and most importantly, the staff was superb. We have children with food allergies and had left their medication behind by accident and the staff went to great lengths to ensure their safety, we shall be forever grateful for their care. Needless to stay, we will be back!

Not a five star hotel
Have used covid as an excuse to charge more wherever possible (e g. Removing tea/coffee in room and mini bar, charging to have things bought to room) while ignoring it where it would cost them more (still providing breakfast and dinner as a buffet with no extra precautions, so guests sharing utensils and food sitting out for hours). Also extra hidden charges for indoor pool (€15 per person) and pool towels.

The property is not a 5 star hotel, very disappointing. We found a cockroach in our suit, the A/C wasn't working, the staff though were helpful, they changed us to another suit, however that doesn't change the fact that the hotel is old and in need of a refurbishment.

This was an immaculate property with terrific facilities. The only thing I had issues with was a large group of British men who were staying at the property. There were families around and they were very loud, swearing and consuming copious amounts of alcohol without any warning from staff to temper their language or drinking. When we objected to their behaviour and asked them to stop swearing they failed to do so.
