Hotel San Agustin Beach Club

Despite the fact that this is obviously an older hotel from the 1970s architecturally, you are immediately struck when entering, that it has been internally designed, to make you feel as if you have boarded an ocean liner during the golden age of travel. Yes, if you look into some of the corners you will find it a little shabby chic and threadbare in places, but the overall concept is very fun and retains something of the elegance of a bygone era. The public areas are immaculately clean! I never failed to spot hotel staff constantly mopping and polishing every surface, everyday. Bedrooms are spacious and well appointed with everything you’ll need and could best be described as traditionally Iberian in their decoration. This is certainly not a featureless modern hotel, but one with a distinct and unique character, which personally I felt added to our holiday. I would however add at this juncture, that I found the bed rather too firm and uncomfortable for my personal taste, the other half enjoyed it and found it to be excellent. The bedrooms are very clean, with bedding made and changed daily as required. A detraction on the accommodation front is however the dreadful smell that emanates from the plug holes in the bathroom at night, it could best be described as what we in Britain would call the smell of “drains”. I complained about this twice during our stay and credit where it’s due, the management immediately sent a cleaner and technician on both occasions to try and rectify the issue. I would say at this point, that it was probably nothing to do with the hotel directly, but more to do with the way that the infrastructure over there works. There is a distinct waft in the air of a night in some places. Let’s come onto service and food. I did read several reviews that were politely critical of the staff, but from my own experience, I found all staff to be very helpful, courteous to a fault and attentive to detail when actually being served. The only ever so slight criticism I would give, is not towards any particular individual, but to service in general in the restaurant areas. Staff don’t seem to be well organised with regards to looking after designated sections and tables and you can end up feeling like you are waiting a long time to order, as they’ll be mob handed in one area whilst another can be unattended. There is also a lack of being asked if you’d like another drink with your meal during dinner service. The food itself is in the traditional format of a starter, soup, fish course, main course and pudding to a set menu not to be found in many hotels these days, but was generally tasty and well presented. The hotel does a BBQ twice a week and the freshly cooked steaks were sublime! I would not recommend this hotel to young families with small children who can invariably be very picky with foods, it’s definitely more of an adults hotel for those with broader palates who enjoy eating interesting dishes. Breakfast was first class, w

We had a really lovely break in a really nice hotel. We had another hotel booked up however we were told that there were renovations going on therefore we swapped to this hotel instead at late notice and saved quite a lot of money too. Firstly I would like to thank the hotel managers and staff for being so friendly and for keeping the hotel immaculate as the rooms and surrounding areas were cleaned and tidied to such a high standard. We had a lovely sea view room overlooking the pools and could hear the waves at night which was very relaxing. We absolutely loved the cruise ship feel of the hotel which was quite old fashioned but great character. The best thing for us was the location to the lovely beach as it took 5 minutes to walk onto the beach which always had plenty of sunbeds, also, you can walk for miles along the beach front and promenades. We only had breakfast at the hotel but that was perfect with a great variety of cooked food, fruit and pastries but I personally loved the freshly cooked omelettes served at the table. We did walk to local restaurants which were nice but next time we may go for half board as the food looked great. I did read the reviews about the rooms not having many sockets therefore we bought a multi plug converter with USB’s (see pic) so we just plugged that into the socket next to our bed so it wasn’t an issue. If I had to pick one slight negative it was the bottom of the pools looked a little green but didn’t stop us using them. This hotel is excellent value for the money, thank you and we will return soon.

The Hotel staff are welcoming and friendly throughout. Our room was a little old fashioned but was enough for our needs and the sea view was stunning. Breakfast choices excellent, evening meal (5 courses except for BBQ evenings) had “interesting”courses but quality was very good. No issues in pool area getting sun beds. All in all you get good value for money.

This is our 3rd time at this hotel. 2021, 2022 and now 2025 at the end of a 7 night stay. In 2021and 2022 it was in need of a refurbishment, revamp. Well some changes have happened. THE POOL AREAS now have all new sun beds and parasols (Good thing ). The floor areas have been thinly screened, but unfortunately it’s too thin and is now breaking up (shame needs to be done again but thicker). THE JACUZZI is still in need of repair (Bad thing) lots of tiles dropped off as it was in 2022). STAFF, FOOD all good as in 2022. All the paint work and wood panelling have all had a coat of paint/wood-stain (Good thing). Corridors carpets still in need of a good.shampoo as in 2022. Although the hotel is basically themed as a Spanish galleon the bedrooms need bringing into the 21 century.(the are still drab and out dated. Will come back in a couple of years hopefully changes have happened.

Absolutely lovely We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely clean and friendly hotel. The staff were so nice and the location was virtually on the beach. We had our room cleaned every day to a high standard and the breakfast was so nice as we had a fresh omelette brought up to us every morning. Thank you to the hotel staff for making us feel so welcome.

The Hotel San Agustin Beach Club is located in an excellent location in San Agustin. The San Agustin shopping centre is 5-10 minutes walk (slightly uphill) and you have access to Spar (supermarket), shops and multiple good restaurants. The hotel readily books you a taxi to the shopping centre/taxi stand, if it is a struggle to walk to the shopping centre. The hotel is located next to the San Agustin Beach which is a volcanic sand beach. The beach is not overcrowded and there are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas which can rent for small fee from the beach wardens. There is a restaurant on the beach with a toilet facilities, so you can easily buy drinks and food. We frequently headed back to our hotel as it so close. The downside is that the hotel is only accessible to the beach via relatively steep steps. Therefore, it would be amazing if the hotel considered constructing a ramp or lift to make the beach more accessible for prams and wheelchairs. The hotel itself is compact and designed like the interiors of a cruise-ship. It was very quaint, clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The reception and restaurant staff were very cordial and always had smiling faces. We were welcomed with a complimentary glasses of sparkling wine whilst we were checking in. We were offered beach towels for each of us. We booked a triple room with an ocean view, which had a large bed with a comfortable mattress bed. The balcony view of the Ocean was amazing and definitely worth booking an Ocean-view room. The hotel room was clean. There were bathrobes for each of the guests and plenty of cupboards. Unfortunately, there were only 2 areas with sockets in the room. One area had about 3 sockets behind the TV which was difficult to access. The TV, kettle etc were already. There was one socket on the opposite wall near my mattress bed. However, we managed as we brought multi-plus adaptors with us. On the first day, we had complimentary water bottles, teabags, sugar and milk. Thereafter, we bought water from the hotel or the local Spar. Thereafter restaurant/reception gave us teabags, milk and sugar when we asked them. Breakfast was exceptional with a wide variety of food, with both healthy options (plenty of fruit) and holiday unhealthy options. In addition to the buffet style, you can order crepes/pancakes, eggs done different ways and so on from the kitchen. The 2 pools were clean and good for families. The jacuzzi was lovely under some trees. There were plenty of sun-beds and parasols, as well as, different seating areas. The bar was open till 11pm, and drinks and food are easily available. Lunch has light options of sandwiches, as well as, some hot options too. Dinner was usually a pre-set 5-course dinner (except for buffet days) which changes every day, and usually 2 sittings starting at 18:30 and 20:00. However, the staff accommodates you if you don’t arrive exactly on time. One the dinners was a Gala night wh
