Pros +

  • This is our third time since last year, always very pleased and very happy, to bad but really bad the common kitchen is no longer working!! Real bummer!
  • It is a very beautiful place to see. The pool is great. The location is between two beaches. Maderas is fantastic but you have a steep hill. Marcella is also very nice and an easy walk to get there.
  • Location isnt great. 15 minute walk up and down a huge hill to get to the beach. Its far from everything else, and nothing else is around except for hush (great dinner! - Up another hill and a couple of restaurants at the beach). When we first arrived we were genuinely the only two guests staying there. It had a huge eerie feeling because it was so empty and quiet. The staff werent approachable and still refused to let us check in early (arrived at 1pm, check in was 3pm). That afternoon a man and his child arrived which helped the uneasy feeling a bit. Theres no kitchen. We booked for 3 nights but left after 2.

Cons -

  • We paid 55 euro at night and that is expensive for what you get. Room was comfortable but very basic. There was more staff than guests and that is not good for the vibe. We ate breakfast and dinner there once and we're the only ones. Portions were very very small5. I hate it when the menu prices are without tax which is sadly common in this country, as for the 10% ' voluntary' tip. So then everything is a quarter more expensive. Because it is supposed to be voluntary, ask before you add it to the bill. The price of the beer was really over the top. 100 Crdoba excluding tax. And that is not "Sociotel" but "anti-sociotel". Giving that the place is so secluded. All of this made that we did not want to recreate here. We found a newly opened very good mini market 500 meter away and so we could make our own breakfast. And ate and had beer at the beach restaurants. Does this place ever wonder why their restaurant is empty?
