Terrifically Tarifa

Great hotel with large comfortable rooms with good Aircon and powerful shower. Wonderful rooftop heated pool and in a great location with easy access to al Tarifa has to offer. Car park is a bonus, but large cars will find it a little tight, but no worse than similar hotel parking.

Ups and downs

The hotel was fabulous, location, comfort and amenities. I had to wait approx. 45 minutes to check/in and was told I had to wait as the reservation from hotel.com did not arrive. We needed to park our car as it was in a temporary location. I had to call hotel.com prior to the reservation arriving. They did not collect a credit card from me when I registered and we were in a hurry to catch the ferry, the transaction timing was awkward.

Our room was not ready at check in time, and we had to wait an additional half hour to get into our room. We had traveled all day and were exhausted. The woman at the front desk was incredibly rude about it. When we asked if we could have a late check out in exchange for the delayed check in, they told us no.
