Fantastic holiday in El Cotillo which retains a lovely authentic local and surf culture vibe.
Good thing about the hotel:
- friendly and helpful staff
- good facilities, pool, gym etc (and looks like there are good accessibility features like wheelchair wcs, hoist in pool etc)
- good quality and value food and drinks
- good location
Criticisms:
- our room overlooked a building site which was not mentioned at the time of booking.
- acoustics - in the room you can hear everything happening nearby. Other noisy things - fridge next to the bed, noisy AC unit (we turned both off at night). Our room overlooked the street by the main entrance. On some evenings and mornings a coach would park up leaving the noisy engine running.
- scruffy around the edges. The hotel needs a bit of tlc. Example - flaking paint in lobby above stairs due to leaks from above. Architrave to our bedroom door was so loose it could fall off.
Overall a very enjoyable stay.

What a lovely hotel. What is inviting is the kind and helpful staff (thank you Maria, and all the restaurant staff), the great guy Renny who runs all the fitness and water and dance sessions, as well as the spotless rooms (thank you room service) and endlessly generous breakfast. The pool is large and heated which Roger King loved. The whole central area around which the low level hotel is based, feels spacious, safe, quiet and is just lovely. Situated very close to some fantastic eateries and miles of sandy lagoon type beaches for safe swimming, it is perfect.
There is building works going on in front of the hotel, though in truth, it was surprisingly unobtrusive. The fishing village is about a 10 minute walk.
We loved it so much as to visit in March just gone for the third time and would recommend for R&R.

Lovely hotel. Staff were very helpful and always smiling. The room was great; the pool area was outstanding and the restaurant was very good despite getting particularly busy at breakfast. Tons of food available. Special mention to our cleaning lady who did a wonderful job.
Our first visit to El Cotillo and it didn’t disappoint. A lovely area with beautiful beaches and the lagoons are stunning.

Very very lovely stay. Will break down into sections.
Rooms - 10 out of 10. Comfy, clean, great Ac. Lovely
Food - 9/10 Breakfast cold, daily but tasty. Bar food SO nice and VERY well priced. Drinks VERY well priced partially at evening bar ( also very nice 5* like feel)
Pool - lovely, sun lounges lovely and clean and comfy. No fight for beds at all.
Staff - all really friendly, nor a single bad word to be said.
Over all this genuinely is a lovely lovely hotel, one of the best I’ve stayed in. Shop 10 seconds to the right too. 3 mins walk from beach and restaurants.
Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t have second guess if I was told it was a 5* stay.

Lovely hotel. Staff friendly, especially the cleaners snd restaurant staff. Great location being close to beach. Breakfast was great, nice size dining room. Ate from lunch menu which was really nice. Pool area spacious and nicely laid out. Bedroom comfortable and kept clean, nice bathroom with great powerful shower and water always warm. Towels a bit worn but passable. Balcony very nice with sturdy table and chairs. Safe in room and great AC. Only 1 negative (minus a star)- the fridge; more of a cool box really but even at that it wasn't cold at all. However, would definitely go back. Nice quiet relaxing place for a week away in the sun. Lovely beach for walks. Not a mad party place!! 🌞
