Pilancones Natural Park Holidays

There are many, many great points about this resort. The staff, the food, the showers, everything was great. The reason for only four stars instead of five is because there is a mandatory rule that men must wear trousers to eat inside any restaurant and this was not explained before arrival. Women can wear any length of dress, skirt or shorts but men must be in full length trousers. Only having the one pair that I flew in left me with little options. If you have such strict rules, make sure guests know about it before arriving so I could have packed more appropriately. I’ve checked the booking process and all correspondence and nothing was ever mentioned. I spoke with management while there and the reply I got was, “we need to think about the other guests” but there was just a shrug of the shoulders when I said it was one clear rule for men and another for women which wasn’t fair. It was an annoyance but it didn’t ruin the holiday which was great. Just wish you’d either change the archaic “men have to wear trousers” rule or let guests know who book through Expedia that these are the rules.

Excellent stay with lovely swimming pools. Room excellent with top class restaurant. Totally pampered by staff ……will stay again

Amazing views from bedroom balconies. Very clean and staff friendly and efficient.

Super views - lovely pool and good facilities for the size of the hotel. Lovely staff. Food excellent but restricted meno options apart from the lovely barbecue (twice a week). Nothing much to do in the evening and you need a car if you want to get around. One shuttle to the beach and a local trip is all there is from the hotel. But for ambience and relaxing super.

This hotel is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. The location is perfect, the views are amazing, the decor is stunning and the service is fantastic. Although the evenings were cool in February, we could still enjoy drinks (excellent cocktails) on the patio which had the most fantastic sunset views. Sleeping with the balcony door open was perfect, with the wonderful sound of crashing waves. The views from the breakfast room (whether you sit indoors or outdoors) are amazing and you can watch the morning surfers. Breakfast was great with an a la carte and buffet combination. It was also wonderful to have Nespresso machines at breakfast, together with all types of 'milks'. The pool area is immaculate and the loungers are incredibly comfortable with very thick mattresses. The rooms are stylishly decorated and a different treat is provided every day (together with bottles of water). The cleaning standards in the rooms (and throughout the hotel) are incredibly high. I never noticed anything that did not seem to be immaculate. The only thing to be aware of is that the bathrooms are open (with separate toilet/shower areas) so it may not be the best place to stay if you require privacy from a roommate! The staff are so pleasant and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and would happily return.
