A fantastic trip. Really enjoyed the hotel & the facilities. Room was beautiful & attention to detail to really top!

Overall, the stay was good but I don’t think it’s truly 5 star (though the price is not outrageous either). The lobby and Eddy’s bar are lovely - service in Eddy’s was always very good. The rooms are nice but a little dated. Air conditioning is not great at all. First room we were given was directly above the entrance overlooking the cars and had to move - not a room they should be offering at all and felt a bit fobbed off. Breakfast is nice, although would prefer more homemade breads/pastries rather than tonnes of brought in stuff. Had dinner one evening in the Italian restaurant and thought it was massively overpriced and average - like eating in a generic hotel “fine dining” restaurant in the 1980’s. Tip: get the shuttle to the beach club and go to Kai Gastrobar for dinner - much more interesting food, friendly service, and €100 for two with a bottle of wine. Prices in the restaurant are a bit obscene at €20 a g&t, €9 a beer and €40/50+ for a main in any restaurant none of which were great.

We were staying in the south of Spain and thought we would spend a night here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. What a great choice that was! The hotel is magnificent and almost feels like a boutique hotel and although it has 130 rooms it never felt crowded. We opted for a room with a terrace and it was huge and had everything. The surrounding grounds are so pretty and we will make more use of them on a future visit. The spa is amazing with every kind of sauna and steam room and the outdoor pool is also picturesque. Breakfast was delicious and very classy. The cake and congratulations letter sent to our room was a really nice touch. Kudos to the front reception staff who made us feel very welcome and we are already looking to visit again but next time for longer. Thanks again for a really nice stay!

It’s well worth making the effort to reach the hotel. The building and architecture is beautiful and dramatic while being grand in scale. The rooms are generous and the team go above and beyond for LHW Leaders Club Aurelian members.
