The hotel is located on a nice and not very crowded beach, 35 min walk from the center of Rota. The rooms are quite old but well-maintained and clean. The swimming pool is not heated, so keep it in mind in case you go there off season and would like to swim (we were there the first week of May,... More

An older but classic waterfront hotel in beautiful condition. My ground level room had twin beds, a nice sized marble bathroom, TV, and a small patio at the entrance overlooking the nice pool and pool bar area. The room was a bit tight for the beds and dresser but comfortable. There was much pool noise during the day when I... More

How close to the sea do you want to be? This laidback hotel amidst the dunes and next to the pine forest on the outskirts of town was perfect for a get-away-from-it-all break. We did not regret the upgrade to a Junior Suite, two separate rooms with a balcony directly overlooking the beach and the ancient stone fish pens or... More

Although a little difficult to find with the directions we had pulled off the internet (no sat nav sadly), the hotel is worth the effort as it is welcoming and bright, modern in style, with great facilities and good accommodation.

Great location! Ancient ruins from over a 1000 yrs ago in the water called the "fish pens" just near the hotel. I wish the hotel had some information about this history that guests could read about.
