This was my favorite hotel during my stay in Spain. I traveled between Barcelona, Cordova, Granada, and Madrid. And in all of my travels, this was my favorite hotel. The hotel staff was kind. The food was amazing — I had the best hummus in my life in this hotel. In addition, the amenities were amazing, for example, the spa area was spectacular. And its proximity to the city, the beach, and the airport were huge pluses. I highly encourage anyone to visit this hotel during their stay in Spain.

Had a great stay here. On arrival I was warmly welcomed by the receptionist Clara who was very friendly and able to check me in quickly. I was able to use the spa and have a jetted bath which was much needed after the 7 hour drive from Sevilla. Food in the restaurant was very nice and bed very comfortable too.
