The property is large, beautiful, and serene. The front desk was always available, friendly and helpful. There's a couple restaurants on site. Both have great food! The one by the pool is great to hang out and watch your kids swim while you eat. It's right on the beach so you can practically walk out of your room and onto the beach! It's a great place! Will definitely stay here again!

We stayed at the hotel the Playa De La Luz while visiting our daughter station at the naval base in Rota. We enjoyed our stay the resort is nice and the atmosphere was very laid back. We had breakfast included in our package, and it was well worth it. The pools are nice the beach had way to much seaweed for our liking but it is still a beautiful setting to be on the beach. Parking could also be better, we parked on the outside of the hotel as it can be costly to stay in the hotel parking lot. All in all we had an amazing stay there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was spacious, clean & well maintained. I would highly recommend, the pools, beach & rooftop adult pool/beach club was very nice. Reception staff was coldly polite & not especially helpful, they did not make recommendations, etc. The cleaning staff is amazing! The woman who cleaned our room daily made the bed perfectly, was warm, funny, kind & patient with us. The location was good-we had a car, they have paid parking available. However, just outside the gate there is plenty of free street parking, in nice neighborhood. If you want a lounge chair on the beach, be aware the charge is €12 p/p per day. Rota was lovely, lots of good food & lovely locals.
