I have visited this hotel 6 times - its well located for Cantaras Beach, it being the only hotel with its own sunbeds on the beach. There is an excellent roof top pool with sun loungers

Rooms are a little dated but clean, with lots of products. But no bath robes! Reception staff have improved over the years!

Breakfast is excellent - lots of choice - hot and cold food and masses of fruit and pastries - a friendly cook frys eggs bacon and sausage on the barbeque - waiting staff are welcoming - particularly Josef and John the senior waiters.

Dinner in the hotel is excellent value - wine is cheap.

Rather a lot of saga guests but most of the time they are out on trips!

Very relaxing and enjoyable

Most of the recent reviews mention the high standard of service and I can confirm that even during the Easter weekend when the hotel was fully booked the staff of the Reina Isabel were admirably efficient and friendly. Our room, a triple, was very comfortable and well kept and the facilities, including free parking and free access to fitness and sauna were appreciated by myself and my children. A few years ago I stayed at another nearby hotel of the same category and I found the Reina Isabel to be far superior.

This was a lovely hotel. My friend and I stayed here after booking online and getting a great price for the hotel. The pool area was a little cramped but overall a really nice area. The staff were all really helpful and the beach just across the path outside the hotel, was lovely. The hotel has a medium to well equipt gym on the top floor, So you can admire the views as you run. The hotel also has a turkish bath and various other facilities that are available to guests. The hotel is quite formal, and there is a dress code for breakfast etc. which I thougt was good. The HB programme is good, the food was lovely and the breakfast abundant, including Smoked Salmon and capers. Champagne and many different juices were also available at breakfast time. I absolutely loved my stay here. Bedroom was a resonable size and design and bathroom was clean and stylish, although not very large. The hotel was very clean.

Location was not brilliant although close to a really good shopping centre, with really good shops, Zara etc. and the science museaum that has a cool robotic. We did go to pacha, the night club(a short taxi ride away), and thought that it was ok but not fantastic, drinks are expensive in the club.

My husband and I stayed at Reina Isabel during January 19 - 26 and we were very satisfied with our choice of a hotel. We had a sea facing room 575 and could listen to the soothing sounds of the sea while enjoying the scenery.

The hotel staff - especially the two blonde ladies at the reception - were always nice and helpful. The room was cleaned every day to our complete satisfaction. I have no complaints whatsoever, our room was spacious and well, a little bit outdated, but who cares!

The breakfast was fabulous, we did not have any other meals at the hotel. Instead we picked up the restaurants in the Las Canteras avenue. I could specifically recommend restaurant Gallo - I just loved their "stroganoff", which was heavenly. The other restaurant to recommend is "The Laughing Pig", the only minus was that our waiter could not speak one word of English, still we got exactly what we ordered.

There was a carnival at Santa Catalina park during our stay and it was nice to look at the beautiful dresses and watch and listen to the samba dancers.

Las Canteras Beach was clean and even though the water was quite cold, we were able to swim anyway (well - we come from Finland, so the cold waters are not unfamiliar to us ;)
