Arrived at Almeria 10:30hrs local time, arranged transfers through holiday company although if you just hire a taxi to the Dona Pakyta Hotel one way is 45 euro, journey time 30 minutes, saving about 10 euro each way on arranged transfers. Dropped off outside hotel, parking is limited if you decide to hire a car to visit the Cabo Gata... More

The hotel is clean, it is not luxurious, it does however have amazing views of the bay, if you stay here make sure to get a sea view room, ideally with a balcony. The corridors are noisey and the walls a little thin, if you have trouble sleeping - you won't like this hotel. Howeve if you don't mind some... More

The hotel is situated on the beach with panoramic views over the bay from the public rooms and terraces.

This hotel is all about the views, great food and... More

Just the most idyllic location right on the most pristine beach, the hotel & staff were great, plenty of great restaurants & bars close by.

The rooms are quite large and airy and had everything we needed including good lighting and safe. WiFi reception was good. The en suite was also large and quite well... More

We arrived exhausted and frustrated as our apartment booking in San Jose had collapsed ( more of this elsewhere) We had called at the Hotel when searching for the apartment and they were helpfulness itself advising us as to how to proceed. When we realised that the apartment wasn't going to happen I called the Hotel and we were in... More

Just a great place to stay, with huge plate glass windows overlooking the bay and the beach, big clean airy rooms, friendly staff, wonderful self-service breakfast, all in the nicest town on the Cabo de Gata coast

We took a bus from Almeria to San Jose and walked 10 minutes up hill to the hotel. The walk is worth it because the view of the Mediterranean is fantastic! The hotel is clean, modern, with nice sitting rooms, comfortable furniture. We had some trouble with the internet connection in the lobby...weak signal. Our room had a shared terrance... More
