En hotellupplevelse utöver det vanliga

Så lugnt och avkopplande. Så vackra vyer. Utmärkt trivsamma rum och tillhörande uteplatser. Härlig atmosfär - endast 12 rum/suiter. Mycket trivsam service från personalen. Vi uppskattade särskilt den goda frukostbuffén som avnjöts vid poolkanten. Mycket frukt och bär. Det som kan förbättras är servicen vid frukost. Kaffe serveras först om/när man frågar efter det och ingen frågar om man vill ha en extra kopp. Lite bristfällig påfyllnad när fat och tillbringare blir tomma. Med dessa mindre brister åtgärdade skulle frukosten vara fulländad. Vi åt en middag på hotellet. Fullt ok, men tyvärr var vi de enda middagsgästerna, vilket förtar stämningen. Sammantaget dock en underbart avkopplande hotellupplevelse.

Tranquilidad

Hotel con solo doce habitaciones, muy tranquilo, en mitad del campo, muy próximo a Agua Amarga. Sus desayunos al aire libre, en la piscina, con un bufett espléndido en cantidad y calidad. No se escucha ni un ruido. Las cenas también son especiales, y la suite muy cómoda, con una gran terraza y con todo lo necesario para hacerte agradable la estancia.

Boutique Elegance in Agua Amarga

Small, just outside of Agua Amarga...A beautiful location and easy to access. The room was elegant and clean...more space than we could use. The hotel area had a wonderful pool and pool house where breakfast was served each day with fresh fruits and pastries as well as fresh baked breads. Varied assortment of breakfast items each day were all great and refreshing. Quiet and relaxing, there are really no activities at the hotel except whatever you get yourself into so to speak. A relaxing hot tub just away from the pool gives a prime view of the night sky and a slight view of the Mediterranean via Agua Amarga's city skyline. The room is clean and well designed for comfort. A patio and deck are attached with privacy walls and a locking door. It is a restful and posh stay for the most veteran of traveler to the area and is well placed for the comfort of exploring the Nijar region.
