Hotels Near Mirador de las Penitas in Maxorata

Only stayed one night as late booking due to poor punctuality of Ryanair . It is in a very remote location so I could not stay for more than 2 days but was ideal for a short notice overnight stop . See views were nice and the double glazing stopped at the noise from the sea. This was a waste as the walls were so thin your could hear someone cough in the next room. Felt like the cleaner next door was in our room with us . Never ate as had to leave early the next morning .

Like several reviewers, we had a mixed experience. On the plus side, the staff were great (especially David) and we really liked the meals (the menu at El Faro in particular was impressive). Sitting outside in the evenings made it feel special (but if we had been indoors it would have felt more like a canteen). We liked most aspects of the garden room we were allocated and thought it was spacious and comfortable. However, the resort is in need of some TLC and was a bit scruffy in places. Our bathroom was a classic example - there was a hole in the tub which had been patched up with filler. Additionally, the plugs didn't work in both sinks. We didn't twig until we had unpacked or we would have asked to be moved to another room. We obviously didn't have anyone next door at the start of the week but things were a lot noisier when it was occupied and we realised that the walls are not too thick. As the venue is advertised as a 5 star resort, we expected a heated indoor pool for lap swimming. The only pools are outside and it's difficult to swim properly. We also expected a better quality tennis court - there were pieces of masonry scattered around and the mesh fence needs to be renewed around the area. We normally go to a 4 star hotel in Madeira so it was interesting to make comparisons with the Sheraton in Fuerteventura. The verdict? Funchal here we come!!

Very clean comfortable beds and sofa modern lovely host went at Christmas they put on shows round pool.it was cleaned daily inside and out the only thing we did not like was the paint colour needed toning down to make it more modern it's a sickly bright green god knows who chose that awful colour. Could also do with a few arcade machines instead of having to go into town for something to do like a ****** no idea why 2 stars definitely worth more than that rating.i will be going again

Excellent Service , however be aware that i purchased through trip.com the hotel did try to charge me an extra £100 euros , because the deal i paid for wasn’t the price set by the hotel, however after the Receptionist spoke to the manager , they honoured the price i paid , all in all from start to finish took about 20 mins , the Room with a sea view was absolutely stunning, i thought the room had no electric , however a quick pop to the desk explained that the key card you use to get into the room goes into a slot in the entrance way to turn it on , ( quick suggestion to the hotel maybe explain this when you give out the room cards ) Having stayed in a different hotel previously i didn’t know what to expect , i’m happy to say i will be back , its at least 2/3 minutes walk to the beach , has disabled access which is great , lifts are in the lobby to allow higher floors, they have a chill out zone thats open from 9am which has rooftop jacuzzi’s ,sauna and stunning views over the sea , it also has two pools one inside the complex and another outside, The breakfast while inconvenient at times having to go downstairs to eat, ( they do have room service however at €10 was not something i wanted to pay personally it was a nice touch though ) was plentiful to say the least they had a large variety to cater to everyone . The receptionist were brilliant even with a slight language barrier , some are multilingual in any event , my advice learn some words in Spanish helps a lot ! The Room itself was absolutely spotlessly cleaned , fresh towels and bedding changed daily by the cleaners , with little heart chocolate’s was a nice surprise one slight issue for me unless you want to be woke up at 8/9am with the drinks bar i would fully use the do not disturb sign , The hotel has a massage and therapy i used the 2 hour service and both the husband and wife are an excellent edition to the hotel , they cater to a range of injuries , we even joked that my back was as hard as wood , they worked in tandem and gave one of the best massages i have ever had and i’ve had quite a few over the years. There are quite a few places to eat , however the restaurant which is about 1 minute walk from the hotel has the most amazing staff and the food is great, the prices are reasonable to. Now i know this is an adult only hotel so i was expecting the hotel to be loud in the evenings until the early hours , and while this was at the end of June 2024 i heard little in the way of noise passed 1am. Being the night owl having the sea view and listening to the sound of the waves at 1/2/3 am in the morning is the most peaceful i have felt , thank-you Ezra Mar for the Wonderful Memories. All in all it was an Excellent stay , I Will be back thats for sure , Thanks to all the cleaners and staff at the hotel , what a pleasurable experience.

The pool view room was nice albeit less drawer space than we might have liked , We had a pleasant balcony . rooms were well cleaned and the bathroom was good. Service was universally friendly and helpful. Less positive : the music in the Solar bar far too loud . the in room coffee was indifferent and there was no kettle. The breakfast buffet was varied and good quality but the one evening meal we had in house was poor. The pool was sizeable and heated. Noise from building sites around was not too bad if you had pool facing room. The hotel is 5 mins from beach past very noisy building sites ( Mon - Fri ) . The town centre with seaside bars and restaurants is 5-10 mins away. The hotel has a great cycle rental shape very closely and a mini supermarket next door as well as gift shops and an ice cream parlour . Several good restaurants are 2-4 mins walk but towards the sea are spoilt by the new builds. El Cotillo is clearly getting more built up but still has a wonderful position on the sunset coast and great uncommercialised beaches

This was the 4th time we have been and Usually go for 10 nights but opted for 14 this time and we knew what to expect. Usually stop in the hotel but decided to stop in the annex, we had s good sized room which was kept clean by Mary b, weather was perfect, fantastic beach, but like many of the other reviews there was a smell of raw sewage most of the 2 weeks we was there, some days it got to much, and were we was laid in the sun people were moving to try and get away from it. Food basic not very warm booked the Chinese no better not much choice, entertainment poor animation team just miming songs alright for the kids. Also we had to hire a kettle which cost us 20euros to hire and 20 euros deposit, never known this in an hotel, also make sure you take your own toiletries which I always do, cause all they have in the bathroom is toilet rolls and 1 soap dispenser in the shower. Then end of our 1st week I got the dreaded lurg, was In bed for 2 days, that's when I wanted to go home, such a shame about this because the location is so beautiful but we will not be returning back to the oliva beach.

We have just returned from an amazing 7 night stay at the Bahia Real, our first stay at a Secrets Resort. The hotel was stunning, from the reception area to the walkways. The main bar had a lovely veranda where you could sit for ages and take in the sea views with the island of Los Lobos over a coffee or cocktail. We stayed in a Pool View Junior suite on the 2nd floor - room was clean, spacious, bright, and had a lovely large balcony which caught the Sun for the majority of the day. Bathroom was lovely too, with an attractive tiling mural. The bed was very big and comfortable, probably more on the firmer side. We found ALL the staff very friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast buffet had absolutely every choice you could think of from hot to cold, fruit, cereal, fish, yogurts, & lots of well made cakes! all in a relaxed environment. We ate at the Canarian restaurant (Chozo) and in the Seaside Grill at lunch which were both lovely with attentive, polite waitering. We didn't visit the Spa, purely because the weather was so gorgeous we wanted to make the most of the Sun but heard from other guests that it was fabulous. Hotel is in a great location, not the best bit of beach but plenty of sun beds to soak up the rays. There is a beach path where you can find a couple of beaches closer to Corralejo town walking 20-30 minutes, which had lovely white sand & turquoise water. Even though more of beach people we did use the pool area a few times which was very clean and pretty, you could always get a sun bed and there was none of the nonsense of people putting down towels early doors!! We will definitely be returning next year for some more Winter Sun :)
