My partner and I just returned from a week stay at Bitacora.
Overall, we really enjoyed this hotel. It is very clean and well kept. The staff are absolutely lovely throughout the hotel. We were a bit put off by the location at first but to be honest it wasn't bad at all, maybe a 10 minute walk down to the front. The trip back up the hill is a bit harder but not as bad as we were expecting and you get used to it.
Our room was great with a well kitted out kitchenette (which we didn't really use), great balcony, and excellent aircon (needed!). Roomservice came every other day to replace towels, bed linens, etc. Our only disappointment was the sunbeds. On our first morning we headed out to the pool area at around 9am but literally every sunbed was claimed by a towel despite the fact only 2 other people were around the pool. This happened every day. One morning (around 8am) we watched a man with a cup of tea in one hand, about 7 towels in the other, lay down towels on a row of sunbeds, then head back to bed and didn't use the sunbeds til mid-afternoon. This resulted in the weird situation where each day until mid-afternoon the pool area would be virtually empty but no sunbeds would be available because they'd been claimed by towels and pegs. This is obviously more of an issue with the guests than the hotel, but I do feel the hotel could do something to try and discourage this selfish behaviour.

Stayed here in April 2025. Staff are friendly and speak very good English, they answer any questions you have during your stay. The rooms are clean and modern ( I think recently refurbished) Fresh towels provided everyday, beds nice and comfy. Would come back

A bit late but I feel it's necessary to post.
So I've stayed here 3 times now and probably won't again due to the receptionist (not the gentleman with glasses, he was an absolute diamond)and owners being absolute tight arses and not heating the pool, even after many requests.
I jumped in and it took my breath away it was so cold. This took a lot of fun away from not only ours but many people's holiday as it was about 9 or 10 degrees.
Apparently it only gets heated when the owners are there, which was great to hear!!
Other than that this is a great place let down by moody management!!!

Couple days stay with girlfriend, mother & partner. Lovely apartments and staff. Rooms spacious,clean with everything you need. Pool area nice with plenty of sun loungers. We couldn’t keep room on as we had a late checkout but Gym downstairs with showers. A bit of a hill to walk down to front but no problem for us. Would be back.

Lovely place. Really friendly and helpful reception guy who we really appreciated! 10stars!
Had issue with soap dispenser that was dealt with. Booked a day trip for us the minute we arrived and enquired. Helped with all questions/concerns we had.
Rooms are spacious enough, there's a bit of a smell in bathroom if you keep windows closed so better make sure you're airing the bathroom.
We don't smoke so was a bit annoyed when neighbours smoked in front of their doors as smoke was getting in if we had doors open. We might of been lucky but it was nice and quiet at night time ( went Monday till Friday) tiny gym I haven't had time to use but it's something if you want to have a little session while away. The hotel is on a bit of a hill so if you have mobility issues you might struggle. About 10-15 min from the beach. About the same to bus stop if you going to/from airport. If you take taxi- we paid €16 to go back to airport.
