  : The size of the rooms, balcony and gardens.The breakfasts were wonderful.
  : That the evening meal was served from 8.30. It is too late for Northern Europeans. I think that the lovely restaurant would do more business if it served from 7.Also there was a lack of information about meal times and other aspects of the hotel. When you have had a long journey you just want basic information. You don't want to log on to your WiFi. We were given no information whatsoever on check-in, except for the room number. The reception staff seemed always to be involved with other matters and made little effort to communicate with us. On the other hand, the cleaning staff were warm and friendly and one of those ladies in particular spoke very good English and was happy to do so. She should be on reception.There was a also a lady in the restaurant at breakfast time who spoke to us in English but she seemed very overstretched. I would like to point out that we try to speak Spanish where possible and that other Northern Europeans such as the Danes, Belgians and Dutch find it easier to be understood in English than in their own language.Over all this was a very good experience which could be excellent if communication were to be improved.

  : It was a great place to have a few days rest after a busy week touring. The location was good for restaurants, bars and the beach. The grounds were spacious with plenty of sun beds and umbrellas for shade. The room was spacious with a good bathroom and terrace.
  : The biggest problem was that it was called a Parador.This gave us the expectation of something grand. In fact it was a very simple 3* hotel. Booking.com description was 4* but it wasnt- even its own entrance had 3*s. It didnt even have tea or coffee making facilities in the room.

  : Rooms are indeed very large, a lot of space, also the bathroom is well above average in terms of dimensions. Beds are comfortable and wifi is efficient. Beautiful outdoor swimming pool in the garden. Recommended both for holidays or a business stay.

  : We liked the location.The bedsheets were seemingly clean and the size of the room was good with nice views.
  : The cleaning of the room was done in a hurry so that the floor was not cleaned for our whole stay. The Parador was very short of Staff.
