Hotel de Naturaleza Rodalquilar & Spa Cabo de Gata ★★★★

"I hated my 3 nights stay at this hotel. Everything was a struggle. Toiletries and loo roll for the first 2 days have not been replenished; I had to go and fetch them in the toilet down near the spa. The TV was not synchronised with the remote, eventually was changed and worked, the safe was not working, the room was dark and uncomfortable with a monstruosity for a headboard. No kettle in the room. Breakfast was already scarse and if you don’t eat anything with sugar added nor process meat, was very little left. The pool and all outdoor area extremely unkempt, chairs covered with birds poo, stained sun loungers, no paddings nor a towel on sight. Should not be advertised at this time of the year if not maintained and customers are unable to use it. I cannot believe this is a 4 stars hotel. One of the lady at reception stunk of cigarettes smoke; very unpleasant when she came to look into the issue with the TV and left a trail of smell behind. Catalina on the other end was very informative."

Apartahotel Vistamar San José ★★★

"Very nice. spectacular views, good service. wide apartment. But if you have any back problem as in my case. The bed is hard and I came, direct to go to the physio. A hurt have no good beds and coats."

Hostal Boutique Bajío

"Lovely little Hostal in a quiet traditional village, San Jose is very close by and just a few minutes in the car and there are some beautiful surrounding areas. Hostal was clean but basic as you would expect, beds comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Ate lunch at the Mexican restaurant attached to Hostal and the food was really good. Wouldn’t recommend the breakfast as the options are limited."

Hospederia Rural Los Palmitos ★★

"All fantastic. Fantastic staff, Angel and Inma are special, available and hospitality women. Wonderful breakfast. Charmful, clean, comfortable structure. They also made us park the bike inside and on the cover."

El Dorado San José ★★

"Good location and great views. Room ok , clean and with a small fridge but did the job however the air con unit did leak quite abit (might just be a one off). Swimming pool lovely. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on that. We would stay here again."

Cortijo Boutique Siete Calas ★★★★

"We had a wonderful week here in February, staying in El Playazo, with its own private roof terrace. This is a very special place, so tranquil and so beautiful. Every detail in our room was thought out, from good bedside lighting, to plentiful coat hangers, with a huge shower with lots of hot water and super-comfortable bed. Julia was helpfulness itself - nothing was too much trouble and she helped us with good eating out recommendations on the Monday and Tuesday night when there was no dinner available at the hotel. We had excellent picnics provided for us and enjoyed walking to the empty and beautiful beach down the volcanic trails. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough - it is absolutely exceptional. And with Samambar in the nearby village, you have very fine eating too."

Wecamp Cabo de Gata ★★★

"We stayed here for three nights in mid jan 24. The location is remote and the site accessed along a narrow road. It was ok in our 7M Motorhome. We were shown to a deluxe pitch. It was smaller than the info suggested and next to some long term campers who had begun to make the area look like a shanty town. At our request we were moved but onto an even tighter plot. Apart from this the staff were generally helpful and the facilities clean and modern. The shop was open infrequently and the pool and restaurant closed. Ongoing building work did not impact upon us. Access to the beach and neighbouring village are easy from site. There are lovely walks across the hills and cliffs to neighbouring bays."

Hotel Don Ignacio ★★★★

"We come here every year to celebrate our birthdays and we love it. But…..this year,when we opened the door to our room, we were met by a monkey sitting on the bed side table doing something very impromptu with his tackle . I shielded my wife’s eyes so she didn’t have to witness such a disturbing scene. After negotiating with the little critter,he left our room with no complaints but it did cost me 500 euros! We’ll be back! 👍"
