This is a beautiful hotel where a lot of thought has gone into the decor and the gardens to create a lovely environment. There are also a wide range of facilities, including 2 outdoor pools (50m and 30m), as well as a heated indoor 25m pool. Note the outdoor pools aren’t particularly warm at this time of year. Bedrooms are spacious and luxurious. The spa was outstanding (particularly the staff) and the gym was very well equipped. Service across the board was excellent. We ate at all three restaurants. El Jardin, the main restaurant was impressive with a good range of fresh seafood on the specials. An excellent range of local and international wines. The Italian restaurant, Don Giovanni was fun but it is predominantly pasta, pizza etc. Last was the Japanese fusion restaurant Rei where we tried and thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu. Food at lunch and breakfast was very high quality too. A few ******* though - being charged to use the tennis courts on top of very expensive rooms was extremely disappointing. Felt greedy. The service was excellent but formal and hence on occasions was slow. For example, breakfast isn’t a buffet and when the restaurant is busy, it can easily take an hour, so be thoughtful about any bookings you have made. Finally the immediate area isn’t very attractive. Andalusia is beautiful - we finished here, having toured Granada, Cordoba, Seville and Ronda, so we were content to stay at the hotel but be warned it is a bit of ‘an oasis in a desert’ when it comes to the local vicinity.
