Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Novo Sancti Petri

the staff was exceptional and the food amazing. we had a room with private pool and it was so nice. it was my husbands birthday and they gave us free champagne and chocolates with strawberries. one of the best 5 start hotels I’ve ever stayed in. very quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at Hipotels Barrosa! The beach and outdoor pool are absolutely amazing and the staff were more than accommodating! Rooms were bright, new, comfortable and clean. The spa was nice but had very limited hours (only 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon), the spa services were booked the entire weekend we stayed so we weren't able to get in for anything, and the pools in the indoor spa were extremely cold. The weather was pretty cold so we were hoping for a hot tub or at least somewhat warm pool indoors but there weren't any. We also came in the off-season (March) so most of the bars and restaurants out in town were closed... even on a Saturday night! Great little bar and breakfast buffet at the resort though! Other than that, it was a very enjoyable stay!

The staff were incredible, they upgraded us to the superior double room after finding out it was our honeymoon - we had a stunning view and amazingly huge room. The facilities and the buffet were incredible, as was the pool side bar. Fresh fruit was offered to us while at the pool, early morning. Super easy assess to La Barrosa beach.

Another wonderful stay and we love this hotel. Marvellous, efficient, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely pool and garden area to relax in and nice external pool bar / eating area. Beautiful beach very short walk away via boardwalk.

Beautiful pool and lovely beach on the doorstep. Having our own pool was delightful. Lovely outside space and staff were wonderfully helpful

general all rounder. very nice hotel, friendly staff and amazing location . swim up was awesome.

The hotel is beautiful right on the beach which was great. We loved the pool area with a great pool. The rooms were spotless and were large and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner was delicious with lots of choice. Also the staff were friendly and professional. There are a couple of golf courses very nearby. A supermarket, shops and little restaurants 5 mins walk away. We were able to park our car in the hotel car park, maybe as low season. More parking in the shops opposite though. Nice indoor pool and jacuzzi too.

Check in with a complimentary glass of bubbles. Direct access to the beach, reasonable bar prices, great selection for the buffet breakfast, indoor heated pool as well as an outdoor pool.

Room : spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage space. The bathroom with bathtube was amazing. The AC didnt respond on controller commands, but we didnt suffer. The big balcony with rack and chairs were a great addition. Breakfast and Dinner : great selection of delicious food. Each time we ate so much we were on edge to explode. On tuesday there was some celebration, they gave a glass of nice wine to every buffet visitor and the food went extra with lobsters, caviar and oysters. Beach: great beach with marvelous sunsets. The path to the beach is unbelievable. The sand is full of shells which makes it a bit uncomfortable. In April the water was decent enough to swim. Pools and sauna: great big outside pool with plenty of space to lay and enjoy the sun. The sauna is small but amazing.

Amazing staff, good food and lovely pool in the room. Free spa facilities is another plus, however, there’s only one indoor pool and jacuzzi.

Just returned with my family of four from at the Aparthotel Nova Sancti resort. The apartments are part of the Barceló Sancti Petri resort and as such, we had access to all the hotel facilities. The hotel has three outdoor pools and one indoor pool that are perfect for the children. The hotel has a gym, a two restaurants serving great food at reasonable prices for a five star hotel, many bars for drinks and snacks, a shop, a irish themed pub and even a disco. We stayed in a luxury two bed, self catered apartment on the second floor with a sun terrace that had a hot tub, barbecue area and sun beds. The views from the terrace were spectacular and we made a point of watching the sun set every evening. The apartments were tastefully decorated with two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The apartment was ideal for our purpose and felt luxurious without being over the top. The weather was in the mid twenties all week & sunny which was pleasing given it was the last week in October and allowed us to make use of the pools everyday or wander down to the beach which was a five minute stroll away. If you like a thoroughly quiet family holiday in a first class setting, this is the place for you. It was outstanding.

Nice resort. Not very crowded at all when we were there. Beach was packed, but resort is gated and fenced so never any issues at pools. Kind of an odd set up that the condos aren't exactly part of the hotel but use the same amenities. We had a 3 bedroom/ 3 bathroom condo and it was huge. Plenty of space for family of 5. Very nice kitchen with large fridge, oven and stove. Only one small tv which was a bit odd. Pools were well maintained and no fighting over pool chairs like happens in some resorts :) Pretty deserted area so you need a car. Beaches were crowded on weekend, but pretty deserted early in am and after sunset.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment in early July. The apartments are very well kept, spotlessly clean, very spacious and well kitted out. We were 2adults with 2 young children and it felt very safe and secure. The resort is quite big but tastefully designed with beautifully landscaped grounds. We opted for the bed & breakfast option with the apartment so we had breakfast in the hotel each morning (less than 5 mins walk). Breakfasts were super - everything you could want and very well stocked & replenished throughout the morning rush. Staff very helpful and efficient. Kids pool is great with a big slide (although no shallow end) so prob more suited to older children. Right next to kids pool is a lovely little playground & the kids club. The beach next to hotel is really beautiful and very clean. We felt somewhat limited in food options in the evening on site (although we hadn't quite adjusted our children's eating time to those of the Spanish!). We used our car almost every day to eat out in the evening so I would recommend a car for this resort. Some fabulous little eateries in the picturesque village of Conil - La Mejorana (Calle Cadiz, Conil) was a little gem we found. Overall, this resort exceeded our expectations, the staff were very friendly and we would certainly go back.

We had a three bedroom apartment which was huge! Very well equipped and nicely decorated and furnished. It was great having the space and privacy whilst having the full use of the hotel services and grounds. We've stayed in some great hotels over the years but the grounds of the Barcelo are the prettiest we've seen. Beautifully landscaped and felt like a real oasis. There was a good choice of pools, none of which were ever busy and there was no issue with getting a subbed (bliss!). The hotel is probably 90% Spanish guests (at least) and we decided that this was why there wasn't an issue with sun beds. The Spanish get up much later (most weren't heading to the pool until at least mid day) and stay up much later, as a result the restaurants aren't busy either until 10pm ish. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was delicious, bar service efficient. All in all we couldn't fault this hotel and will definitely return.

BARCELO Sancti Petri Apartments were truly spacious and luxurious...a great set up. Self catering suits us as a family and here we got to take advantage of all the 5 * facilities. The hotel boasts 5 outdoor and 3 luxurious indoor pools.We had two bedroom, two bathroom unit with a huge wrap around terrace with stunning views of pool/gardens/sea. Tge underground parking was also a real bonus.If you decide to stay here, a car is essential as there are no food shops within walking distance. Nothing really in Sancti Petri apart from golf and hotels. Make sure you visit Vejer de la Frontera...it is beautiful.

Der Empfang war nur mit 1 Person besetzt und dauerte 30 Minuten, dafüt hat sich die Hoteldirektorin am nächsten Morgen mit einer eisgekühlten Flasche Weisswein entschuldigt. Das Hotel ist luxuriös, elegant, kein Kindergeschrei, schöner Pool und der riesige flache Sandstrand, sehr gepflegt, liegt unmittelbar vor der Anlage. Schönes Zimmer, die teureren mit fantastischer Meersicht, komfortabel, modernes Bad, für uns allerdings zu weiche Betten (man sinkt in die Matratze ein). Das Hotel hat kostenlose Parkplätze und kostenpflichtige Garage. Das Essen am Buffet ist gut und es hat eine riesige Auswahl, guter Sevice. Ein zweites kleines Restaurant am Pool serviert à la carte. Abends gibts für den Durchschnitts-Badegast 2 Stunden musikalische Unterhaltung, ist halt Geschmackssache. Man kann diverse Ausflüge und Aktivitäten buchen. Insgesamt gutes Hotel für den gehobenen Massentouristen an einem fantastischen Sandstrand, die Masse bekommt aber viel Platz, auch am Strand. In all der grosszügigen Anlage störte mich eigentlich nur, dass der üblicherweise in Hotels inbegriffene Zimmersafe hier für € 4.60 pro Tag extra gemietet werden musste! Peinlich für so ein Hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were able to park fairly near to the entrance; it might be more of a problem in high season. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful, and spoke very good English. After that we realized that hardly anyone else spoke English, not too surprising as we didn't come across any other English speaking guests. We had paid extra for a sea-facing room and we loved sitting on our balcony, looking out to sea. The room was very nice, and so was the bathroom. There was a good selection at breakfast, but we weren't as keen on the evening meal. I enjoyed the starters, there was plenty of salads, but the choice of meats was very repetitive, and the puddings were mainly smothered in whipped cream. There were a few areas that said Vegan, but I noticed egg and meat in with the selection. It was a pleasant walk to the beach and the pool was amazing. This hotel was a perfect relaxing end to our holiday in Spain.

Very good hotel, rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast was excellent. Generally food is good. The only downside is all rooms have a safe but to use it you have to pay 4.50 euros a day or 16.00 euros a week. Which I think is a liberty why have them??? Quiet a few people carry’s a back pack with them to the pool area with all their valuables. I think this hotel is run by Tui/Thompson Holidays so a lot of people are on package holidays.

Fantastic hotel in everyway ! Bed , service, parking , beside beach , kettle , food , entertainment , pillows, balcony. We were treated very well . Reception was very polite and even received with some cava ! Thanks💐 Pool and jacuzzi was lovely .

This hotel is in very good condition, very clean with excellent service, and the beds are comfortable. Very good breakfast and nice pool area.

Lovely courtyard for dining with comfortable seats and soft lighting. Bar area comfortable and tasteful. Plenty of comfortable loungers around the pool. No deposit for pool towels. Would have preferred a bigger choice of snack options on lunch menu - more choice of sandwiches and rolls. You don’t want a main meal for lunch and dinner! The Michelin star restaurant only serves fish with a choice of 2 tasting menus. Would have liked an a la carte menu and some meat options. If you want to eat in the a la carte restaurant book before you arrive, it was full on the Saturday night when we arrived. Great hotel, lovely location next to the beach, would return.

The Gran Melia was beyond amazing. The breakfast buffet was spectacular with unlimited selections. The room was impeccable, the pool grounds breathtaking. The restaurant and lounge fantastic, food, drinks and service. We are telling our friends when they visit southern Spain to book the Gran Melia.

I had an amazing stay at the Meli Sancti Petri. It's a lovely peaceful oasis. The staff is overly helpful and attentive. The breakfast was over the top! I enjoyed the peacefulness of the beaches and pools. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Beautiful hotel with location right on the beach. 2 pools very clean. Nice service in the a la carte restaurant. Very quiet area, not much nearby makes it perfect for a relaxing break. This was my 3rd visit.

The stuff is amazing, the pool is beautifully located overlooking the beach, the restaurants have amazing food, the chiringuito at the beach is great, … I can’t say enough things about this place. A 10/10 choice in Cadiz

Check-in was easy and very friendly. The room was huge, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The outside pool is lovely, and the inside pool is great for when it's too cold outside. Great facilities overall. Entertainment every evening and lovely friendly bar staff. Breakfast was delicious with a huge selection of hot and cold food. Could not fault anything!!

Really lovely beach hotel. The beach is right there and utterly stunning, Perfect soft white sands, the walk through the sand dunes is gorgeous.The beach is the real reason to come here. Kids loves it. But the hotel is great too, it was April so used the indoor pool, which was great. Outdoor pools looked beautiful but too cold for me ( Kids did get in). The hotel is a 5 min walk from an area with shops, supermarket, ice creams etc which was nice. Breakfast was great. lots of choice, plenty of options for Milk allergy child ( Food not labled with allergens but i think they would help you if you asked. at Dinner they got him some vegan ice cream which was nice)

New hotel 2 small outdoor swimming pools, 1 heated swimming pool inside + 2 saunas Spacious room Near very nice wide beach with amazing fine sand Good food for breakfast and dinner Increasingly cheap (maybe because it was April..) Golf course nearby Minus for the cleaning. Although my room was very clean, the floor was not vacuumed well and I heart my foot on the small piece of glass. It was vacuumed very quickly after that, but my foot remained cut on the beach, which was not comfortable

Amazing stay. Very comfortable and clean rooms and beds. Lot of activities to do, both for adults and kids. Nice outdoor and indoor pools. Amazing pool for kids to enjoy. Good food in the breakfast buffet.

Wonderful stay... Beautiful, clean and modern hotel in a beautiful location on a superb beach. Pools and communal areas very clean. The rooms were spacious, modern with great lighting. Beds do comfortable. Kettle, fridge and coffee maker provided. Views of beach from sea view room spectacular. The mini club is great for the children, our daughter loved the staff and activities. Only saw one evening flamenco show, as they start late but we loved evenings in our room... It was a great show and the venue is a lovely purpose-built stage.

We stayed 10 nights at Iberostar Selection Andalucía Playa and enjoyed our time, but the hotel feels more like a four-star property dressed up as a five-star. The food was generally good, though more “cruise ship quality” than fine dining. The meat-grilling station at dinner was a nice touch—they’d cook your steak or pork fresh—but most other dishes were just okay. Breakfast was the biggest letdown. For a five-star resort, the coffee from the machine was terrible, even the cappuccino. You’d expect a good coffee at the very least, but that wasn’t the case here. Service was polite, but not as attentive as you’d hope at this level. Nobody asked how our stay was when we checked out, for example. Still, the staff at dinner were friendly when we interacted with them and helped us choose a nice wine. Room cleaning was quick, though not always thorough. The pools looked stunning, but the large main pool was absolutely freezing—almost unusable unless the day was hot. The smaller heated pool was nice but usually full of kids. Beach access was excellent, and our semi-private pool right outside the room was a real highlight, even if the temperature sometimes fluctuated. We were half-board and took a lot of day trips thanks to the great location. Overall, we had a very nice stay—but compared to other four-star hotels we’ve visited, this one didn’t quite reach true five-star standards.

Second visit to this hotel. Reception facilities and check out all good. Used the Iberostar ap whilst there and found it very good. We could keep a check on our additional spending, check activities, look at all the restaurants and bar menus- so very useful. We are in all of the restaurants except the Cartaria. Bodega was great for lunch as was the pool bar. Only disappointment was the Sea Soul beach restaurant- it was chaotic and the staff were not very pleasant or organised. Took us 20minutes to get the bill and it only appeared when we were heading out of the door. Hopefully just an off day. Food in the evening and breakfast at the buffet restaurant was amazing. Superb location with easy access to the beach and shops. Pools are excellent & enjoyed the Aquafit. Once again used the car park - at €20 a night still very expensive, hence the empty car park- not sure why they don’t discount for people staying more than 7 nights. Enjoyed yet another stay here & if anything the food is better. 😃

Solo female traveller who stayed here in April '23. The place was perfect and better than I'd imagined. Big room with great balcony. Multiple places to roam and hang out - I personally went from pool to pool bar to beach to gym to buffet. ;) The staff were amazing - whether they were cleaners, servers, cooks, front desk, spa, lifeguards. Everyone was approachable and relaxed and warm and friendly. I loved the variety at the buffet and the quality of the food so much that I sent a video back home to friends to brag. The beach in front of the hotel is great. Whereas some hotels further down the strip can't see the waves from their beach loungers, at this hotel, you can sit in your lounge chair on the beach and look directly at the waves and walk straight in to the water. If you're questioning going, just do it! There's a reason this hotel is rated so highly. Bravo to the team!

We stayed in a first floor room overlooking the pool and beach. I faced the setting sun and was bathed in sunshine every evening. It is a beautiful hotel in a fabulous location. Good food and friendly staff with a special mention to Ruben and Marcial from the Pool Bar. Anastasia from the management team when discussing options to return which we will be soon.

overall a good experience,good food polite helpful staff,clean rooms - downside people smoking poolside (i am a smoker) not very very nice when you lying on a sunbeds getting a big waft of smoke although signs up to indicate no towels to be left on the unattended sunbeds for extended periods of time, this appears to go on by the pool staff who do nothing to remove them.

Overall the location, near the beach. The number of swimming pools and places to sunbath allowed to have options during the day. I didnt use many of the activities but they looked fun and diverse. I did like the food, both from the buffet option and during the day having lunch in the 2 restaurants near the swimming pool or the one at the beach. Overall it was relaxing and good quality, with cleanliness.

I loved the hotel it was amazing You might ask why I only gave the holiday four and not five that was due to a problem with my foot which restricted my mobility and meant I couldn’t go far from the hotel. I would have liked to have gone to Jerez , Cádiz and Seville but wasn’t able to . Hotel Valentin in Novo Sancti was fantastic just two minutes from the beautiful beach. The hotel had a beach bar / restaurant and sun beds . Two lovely Pools plenty of sun beds and parasols. I had a ground floor room close to all amenities which I was really pleased with. Large spacious hotel which I loved Food was fantastic I was on half board so breakfast and evening meal. Couple of area where snacks were available and 2 pool bars.Friendly and helpful staff.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The hotel and extensive grounds are immaculate. There are 2 large pools and one has a path to the beautiful Barrosa beach, where there are also restaurants. Sunsets are beautiful. There is an extensive choice of good quality food, at both breakfast and dinner, maybe could have had more of the excellent seafood from the local area. Replenishment is excellent. There is a wide variety of rooms, many with their own garden with table, chairs and 2 sun beds. Most of the guests were German, so everyone assumes you are, no problem to me, however only bbc and sky news on my room tv, so maybe hotel needs to investigate expanding English Chanels. A visit to the beautiful city of Cadiz is a must. The typical Spanish town of Chiclana is easy on the bus, €1.50, 30 mins in front of hotel. Restaurants and bars are 15 min walk to left or right of hotel, along the road. I would especially like to thank Gracia, the lady on reception who checked me in, she was so friendly and helpful, taking time to get me sorted with ALL my requirements. She is a big asset to this hotel.

We spent a full week at this hotel with full board, and despite it being the hottest week of the year (temperatures soared above 40°C every day!), it was an absolutely wonderful vacation. The hotel itself is enormous, offering countless spots to relax, unwind, and escape the heat. Whether you prefer lounging by the pool, finding a quiet corner indoors, or strolling through the spacious grounds, there’s always a place to recharge. One of the highlights was the buffet, available morning, noon, and night. The selection was excellent, especially for those needing gluten-free options. Everything was clearly labeled, and the quality of the food was consistently impressive. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable when it came to gluten-free meals, always ready to answer questions and offer assistance with a smile. Also the TUI support from Lucien on site was very helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and its two full-board restaurants, especially for anyone with celiac disease. It was a relaxing, worry-free stay from start to finish, and we would return in a heartbeat.

Although the weather was rather poor, we had a very nice experience. The staff was extremely friendly and recommended a couple of places nearby we visited. The city of Cádiz was especially worth it the day trip. The food in the hotel is outstanding, We had lunch twice in the A la carte Restaurant Mercado del Sur and joined the evening buffet on another occasion. We also used the indoor swimming pool quite a lot. All in all a very pleasat stay.

We came to the hotel for a short break with our granddaughters. We were so impressed with the friendliness of all the staff. There were lots of kids in the hotel but it never felt crowded or sounded noisy. The buffet was excellent. Bar prices weren't too bad. Lovely gardens and pools. Plenty of seating.

We liked the outside swimming pool for children , breakfasts and dinners, evening flamenco show, the location, 5 min walk to ocean side. Better take meals at hotel if you do not plan to Chickana or Cadiz for lunch. On the beach there a a few chitingitos but quite expencive. In hotel there are great places in lobby, snack bar, terrasa.

It is a great place for families with small kids. They could have a lot of fun in the pool and other activities. We forgot my daughter's favorite toy and realized it being already on the road. I called the reception and they helped to find it and organize the delivery.

It is a good place if you like huge resorts with everything in the hotel: pool, entertainment, night shows, etc. It is very close to the beach and a small shopping center with supermarket. Breakfast buffet is amazing!!

Very clean. Friendly welcome on checking in, great pool area ,good food plenty of choices,hot and cold food.

This is my 3rd Iberostar in Spain and I would like to say this exceeded my expectations. I would give 15 out of 10 to the staff if I could. Professional, atentive, passionate and unforgetable. Special mention go the Star camp, absolutely brilliant group! Food variety is.not as big as we expected but quality control was veey high. Nice pools and and stunning and windy endless beach are just there by a short walk We tried both Sea Soul and Manolete restaurants with an excellent menu and service. The Spa was also unbelievable, quiet with professional staff and reasonable prices. We will come back!

Lovely and clean room, pool area was perfect for kids. Excellent variety of food at the buffet.

Room was clean and spacious. Nice modern hotel with plenty of facilities. I booked all inclusive and all the buffet meals were of a good standard with plenty of choices available each day. Pools clean and a nice temperature. Its proximity to the beach gives you the opportunity to get some sand between your toes should you prefer that instead. There are fitness activities available throughout the day should you wish to get involved. The evening entertainment was good, with different shows on each night. Water machines available on each floor which was very convenient.

nice place off the jam packed normal hotels on the beach you had loads of room on the beach breakfast lunch and dinner were excellent with a wide range of food. All the staff always there to help in fact the staff at this hotel always had a smile. there are kids clubs too. Swimming pools were clean and activities during the day too

Very clean hotel. Excellent room cleaning staff who do an impeccable job. Same can be said for the rest of the hotel. The food is also brilliant (and I speak as someone with high food standards). Great size pool and lots to do at the hotel. Excellent sustainability standards throughout the hotel.

The room is huge with a terrace. Inside is 5 star amenities. There are 3 swimming pools. Indoor pool for kids and huge outdoor pool. Huge fluffy towels, lounge chairs, and tasty salmon fish served right by the pool.

Very friendly staff. Very comfortable and clean room (suite), lovely large balcony! It is not directly on the beach, but just 5 minutes walk. Great nightly entertainment suitable for families. Breakfast was quite good with a good variety of options. A bonus was the indoor pool in cooler weather as the outdoor pool was not heated. But the outdoor pool is quite big and with deep, which was great.

The staff is very friendly! Tasty food in breakfast and dinner buffet (half board) with daily variations. Very cosy hotel which is not too large with genuine Spanish vibe. Spacious rooms. Easy street parking. Large outside swimming pools and one tiny indoor swimming pool. Nice environment with beautiful golf course, parks with maritime pines and playgrounds in the immediate vicinity and the beach at a small walking distance. The location offers a fantastic base to discover the wider region (Cadiz, Vejer, Jerez, Tarifa, Gibraltar, Sevilla, Pueblos Blancos, etc).

quiet and peace and the green all around. The breakfast was extremely nice. The food in the pool bar was better than usual pool bars with full menu and the rice dish was delicious .

Amenities were awesome! Staff is so friendly as well. We enjoyed the buffet but my kids thought the pool was a bit too cold (due to the season though—not the fault of the hotel)

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor, with a large terrace overlooking the pool. Very clean, comfortable beds with enough equipment in the kitchen. Free pool towels from the lifeguard, plenty of sun beds when we were there. We had a lovely buffet evening meal in the restaurant, we were room only, it was €18 each, even though it says €25each on their information. Free easy parking on the road outside the hotel. Lovely beach about 15 min walk. Carrefor shop 2 mins walk.

Staff at Ilunion hotels are always amazing, would recommend any if their hotels, especially this one. The pools are great and they have a train bus that goes to and from the beach every 20 minutes, which drops you off next to an amazing beach. For kids there's a kids club that our's loved and the food was much better than in some higher rated resorts that we've been to. If you don't like the food you have plenty of options 10-15 minutes drive into the neighboring city. Also, every night there's a live show performed by their entertainment staff, a group of amazing talented people that you definitely need to see.

location is great, next to the best part of the beach. room and pool are very good. clean and staff is very nice. Breakfast is nothing amazing, but it is good enough.

The location and the facilities of the hotel are great. The pool was amazing, 3 different areas to be with the kids and with activities on the afternoons that my baby enjoyed.

Very friendly staff Clean rooms and quite Good beds and pillows Good pool size Our villa very nice and quite, small but enough for a short stay.

- Friendly staff - Plenty of pool space - Good kids pool area

Everything, from the cleanliness, the food, to the facilities, the entertainment and the friendly staff. The animation staff were excellent at keeping us and the kids entertained. And for times where there wasn’t much going on, there were so many pools to choose from for some relaxation in the sun. Plenty of sunbeds , no need to wake up at silly oclock for sunbed wars. Outdoor ball pit softplay area to keep the kids entertained when it was clouded over or too cool for a swim. So much greenery, made our stay all the more relaxing and made for some awesome photo opportunities. And lets not forget the #riuparty whit party - such a fun night for guest of all ages. We danced the night away, our 5 year old especially had a BLAST! Last but defo not least, the food was absolutely delicious. This was our 2nd summer trip there consecutively, and i am sure we will be back next summer!

Great stay, so many pools to choose from. It’s my 3rd stay here snd every time has been top class.

We’ve stayed here befor and it’s a lovely hotel, very big but no ques for breakfast or dinner , the pool bar was a continuous que but moved quickly , it’s spotlessly clean and the Rui chain are always superb , we stay in them all around the world when we can . This hotel is definitely worth a stay your love it . Easy parking great rooms and AMAZING sunset down the beach 👌👌

Great entertainment, good pools, food was good

Location is lovely, next to the beach and lovely walks around. Pool was lovely. Lots of free parking.

I like the staff i like the food perfect it was fantastic everything 😉

The staff were very helpful - I checked out on time and then half way through the day i remembered I left my jumper hanging in the wardrobe. When i went back to ask for it at reception they were very helpful and gave me my jumper back.

Really nice facilities, friendly and helpful employees, a well-run hotel. Good animation activities for adults and kids. Great location to beach access and also shops, restaurants and bars all within manageable walking distance.

Spacious rooms. Bedroom and living room with a kitchen. Good place to stay with a family

Truly a five star hotel! Stayed for two nights in late May after getting a super rate on expedia. Hotel is gorgeous and has ever comfort you could imagine. Staff was helpful/professional. Rooms were incredibly well designed, supper clean, and 'fresh' with great balconies with ocean views. If you want a taste of Spain, a smaller hotel in the 'white villiages' is the way to go but if you want a plush, super-equipped, five star (by any standand; US and Europe) resort for a couple of relaxing 'lounging by the pool' days, stay here. Beach is wonderful but five outdoor pools, kiddie slides, indoor pools, jacuzzis, spa, etc will keep you occupied on the premises. We went before mid-week before the summer vacations start in Spain. Very quiet. The atmosphere may be different with more people there. The grounds are lovely (gardens, bridges, paths). This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in, resort wise (and we've been to the DR, France, Corsica, Greece, etc).

This is a very comfortable and luxurious hotel close to a very nice beach. It has some excellent restaurants, some superb pools and a spa. The hotel is clean and attractively laid out. You will need a car if you want to go anywhere as it is located nowhere near any major towns. My one criticism is that there is no pool side attendance - I would expect a 5* hotel of this quality and price to have the ability to order drinks etc whilst at a pool rather than having to go to one of the hotel's restaurants or bars. The staff are polite and attentive. It is disappointing that they charge to park in the hotel car park, although there is pretty adequate off site free parking not to far away.

This hotel is definitely not a 5 star hotel, more like a 4 star; but the location is lovely and the outside pools are fantastic. The staff are very helpful and the free WiFi works very well even out by the pool. We stayed mid-week in April and would definitely go back in summer when the weather is warmer. Good bars and restaurants and indoor pool. €15 per day for parking tho is very expensive especially as the hotel was very quiet. We just parked outside in the free street parking. The beach is fantastic.

First the not so good (at least for some): It's a very quiet hotel, especially in the evenings. I do like evening entertainment (shows). There is a disco, which my wife and I didn't go to - it opens at midnight. As we're not young, we didn't stay up for that, and photos we saw of this showed just 2 people sitting around. Unusually, it has a 4 lane bowling alley in the Dublin Pub (part of the complex) + a pool table, but we were usually the only guests there. Now the good: The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms huge - double sink, huge shower, huge bath, toilet + bidet. Constant cleaning seems to go on, and everywhere smells very fresh. It's really spotless. There's an extensive buffet for breakfast and dinner. The gardens are enormous, covering many acres with palm trees and ponds. There's several large swimming pools each at a lower level, running down through the gardens in what is in effect a hillside. The small Sunset Bar (well named) is at the lowest point of the gardens and directly overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, about a 10 minute walk away. Cocktails are super. The beach is the longest I've ever seen, easily 15/20 miles long, very wide very flat, with very soft sand. The Atlantic just rolls in. The Spanish visit at weekends. It's pretty well unspoilt, with a few small café/bars every mile or so. It would probably be classed as one of the best beaches anywhere. It's not for those with walking problems though, as it's over a 100 steps down to the beach.

As a family of 5 with 3 teenagers, this was a very relaxing stay. Highlights included the huge spa, the bowling alley, the wide range on offer for breakfast and the beach. The resort was quiet but for early April, that was to be expected. The pools were very cold so no-one was swimming but the indoor pool was quiet, warm and relaxing. Rooms were very clean and there are huge spacious areas to relax in. Be aware that the area is very quiet with only a few restauarants nearby so you will definitely need a car to explore the area. Cadiz and Seville well worth a visit. The only mild complaint was the check-in which was slow, disorganised and not hugely welcoming. We usually receive a map with an explanation of the facilities, timings of breakfasts, info on the area, etc but this did not happen. Apart from that, a great hotel!

Family 2 adults 2 kids age 6 and 8 all inclusive. Family room more like an apartment, bedroom kingsize bed, lounge two beds with cushions on easy to covert to sofas and good size bathroom. Rooms cleaned daily if required. Stayed early April pleasantly busy. Outdoor pools used by a few but not widely as too cold, indoor pool/jacuzzi excellent and open 8am-8pm. Shows on a nightime that my 8 year old inparticular loved. Food very good, wide choice. Guests predominantly German and Spanish but staff spoke some English if required so no problems although we tried to use our limited Spanish where we could. Very short and pleasant walk to excellent beach.Hotel friendly and family orientated.They had kids clubs and other activities for all daily but we didn't use them partly as not many English but mainly because plenty of other stuff to do (inparticular because we had a car) -hotel is a little isolated - no major centre to walk to. Parking not a problem outside hotel.When we picked the car up in Malaga the car hire staff knew of the hotel immediately. It has a good reputation and we could see why as we had a relaxing, comfortable and memorable stay.

Our stay was great. Food was lovely, staff helpful and friendly. Room was great too. Amenities were good but the Liquid Bar should be for adults only as alcohol is served and small children are swimming and playing about in the pool on their own and due to COVID restrictions space is controlled making adults having to wait in a queue to go in.

We stayed for 2 nights and were very happy with the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the resort. Everyone wore masks and we saw cleaners constantly cleaning common areas. The beds were very confortable even the sofa bed that the kids slept on. The beach is beautiful and one pool was heated so kids had fun

Great hotel for family, pool was excellent and food was pretty decent. Would be staying again in the near future

Very varied and tasty food. Good choice of pools, nice entertainment and more than enough sunbeds.

The hotel is super nice. Staff is extremely friendly. The rooms are super cosy and in the typical Arabian style. You even receive free drinks in the minibar and you can make use of the beautiful hammam for 1 hour for free, which is a super nice experience. Parking is free. Breakfast is served in a super nice environment and the staff was also exceptional there. Next year we will go back. We combined a two day surfing trip with this nice stay and want to do it again

I booked a very nice room for my sister and her husband for their wedding night and prenight and I have to say that the stuff was excellent all the time. The hotel is beautiful with a nice Arab style and the staff excellent. Highly recommend it. THANK YOU for making my sister feel super comfortable and special.

I had a great stay! The room was clean and beautifully kept. I really loved the rustic style — it had a warm, cozy feel that made it super inviting. Everything was just as expected, and it was a perfect place to relax. Would definitely stay again!

The staff were fantastic and very welcoming. The whole package was amazing but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to enjoy the steam room offer. Exceeded our expectations. The room was luxurious, and great value for money.

Room was big and really well equipped. Free mini bar and 1 hour of hammam in the price. Parking in garage. Everything was perfect.
