It’s a lovely hotel, nice room , comfortable bed, pool is fantastic but you’re brave to get in it, it’s so cold but hot tub always full. I think they need more staff , poor guy in pool bar was non stop and we found some staff, let’s say a little unfriendly / not interested but the lady on reception was lovely and made us feel welcome though ! Presume the view from the room is deliberately blocked by huge trees real shame as the view is amazing. We paid for the meal option although there is a restaurant 50m up the road so it’s a chance you take. Did not realise it was a buffet when we booked but overall both that meal and the breakfast were good and substantial Shower was poor , head needs cleaning it sounded like a mouse being strangled. All in all good hotel

Lovely hotel with amazing views
Great value hotel with a lovely pool and nice balconies. Very quiet at night even when busy on Saturday night. Good food breakfast and evening. Also a great restaurant just outside called Mesón los Alamillos that is also worth a visit. We asked for a safe key and a kettle for our stay, the only thing we would have liked is some coffee for the room.

The hotel is about 30 minutes from Ronda, slightly further out than stated in other reviews and further than we expected. I want to commend Raul in the dining room. He is a star. Super helpful and polite. The pool is fun and the views are fantastic. The rooms and furniture need to be severely upgraded. The blow dryer in the bathroom is pathetic at best. We had a spider in one of the beds. We only stayed 1 night but will not be revisiting this property.

This is a very nice, clean, quiet hotel with spectacular views of Grazalema and very nice swimming pool. The staff is very professional and kind. The breakfast offered is very good. Only thing I would say is that buffet dinner is overpriced for it's quality. It is good but not great and price is too expensive.

Okay but won't return
The hotel is wonderful. Delicious food, comfortable rooms and communal areas. The waiting staff in the bar/restaurant were lovely. The only thing that let it down, in our experience, was the reception staff. Maybe it was a language barrier, but we struggled to get much help or friendliness from them.

Spectacular views
This hotel has spectacular views of the mountains on the other side of the valley. The room was clean and warm, and had its own terrace with a table and two chairs - perfect for morning coffee. The staff were very polite and helpful, and spoke in English when my Spanish faltered. The restaurant offered only a buffet dinner, but the variety and quality was commensurate with the “book before 8pm” price. On the negative side the pool was roped off as it was half empty of water. The toiletries were basic, and there was only one washcloth at the bidet. Our timing was poor as the restaurant was overrun with noisy children - not the hotel’s fault, but it would be nice if they had a separate waiter-service restaurant.

Amazing views
This is a really well located hotel for the view. Really spectacular from all parts of the hotel. Some have commented that the rooms are basic, it’s true it’s not a boutique hotel, but it is clean and very comfortable. It had all we needed. Unless you want to drive you are stuck with the hotel restaurant. Dinner was a buffet, which was fine for one night. One thing I hadn’t realised, the walk into Grazalema was about an hour (it looks a long way).

Comfortable, restful stay in a stunning location
We really loved our week staying here. We had a garden room with a lovely terrace that opened onto the garden with bunny rabbits running around everywhere and gorgeous views across the valley to Grazalema itself. Other guests could walk along in front of the terrace but it wasn’t a main thoroughfare and didn’t bother us at all. The room was really comfortable and though from the pictures the decor looked that it would be a little dated, all was in v good condition, the bed (two separate mattresses) was really comfortable and the air con worked well. Breakfast had lots of great choice, an egg chef who also made crepes, fresh fruit, good selection of teas... we also ate at the buffet evening meal a few times which had lots of choice and a selection of meat and fish choices cooked fresh to order. It wasn’t gourmet but was a great way to get some vegetables and salad which we found didn’t always feature so heavily on the menus in the restaurants in Grazalema itself. The dining area is quite canteen-like and can get noisy when it’s busy but there’s also a balcony a few people chose to eat out on to have a quieter dinner or breakfast but was a little too chilly for us. All the staff were really friendly and there was a lovely holiday atmosphere in the hotel. It was busy with Spanish families at the weekends and a but quieter in the weekdays but with a few coach parties stopping in for a night. We used it as a base for some great walking and really loved Grazalema

Superb hotel very comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast. Lovely pool. Beautiful area. The only thing to let it down is the fact the restaurant is buffet only in the evening it's not what I expected. The food looked very good but the room has a canteen atmosphere. Restaurants in the local village were ok but not great.

GREAT place to relax in, fabulous view.
GREAT views from the terrace!! Common areas superbly comfortable. Don't take the garden level rooms, a little stuffy and smaller. Next time we will stay for a week to partake of all the hiking nearby, and to explore the town. Only negative is that a car is needed if you stay here.

Perfect for long weekend
Hotel is set in beautiful countryside with a short drive (or energetic walk) to the pretty white village of Grazalema. The hotel has a good size outdoor pool and sun terrace. Our evening buffet was excellent with a great variety of foods on offer and all well presented. Good car park, some areas with shade. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay.

A very nice modern hotel in the mountains
This is a nice modern resort style hotel. The included breakfast was great with a lot of different options. The hotel is spectacularly situated with a great view of the mountains and the town of Grazalema. The balconies were not very private however, and the view from the balcony in our room was less than spectacular (there was a tree right in front of our balcony, and the balcony wall was too high so that it was difficult to see when you were sitting. The view from the pool, restaurant and common patio area were all spectacular though. It was a short 5-10 minute drive into town. All in all it was a really nice hotel, but it was maybe a little too sterile and resort-like if you are looking for a true small town rural hotel experience. I would stay there again though.

Located on a mountainside within a national park. Within easy driving distance to the beautiful village on Grazalema where you can experience great restaurants and shopping. A drive on the park roads is mandatory, wonderful views. The hotel itself is in need of refreshing, it is 12 years old but looks 30. The owners need to invest some money.

The Hotel is very well appointed, service is excellent and the food really good. If you are into walking, cycling or climbing this is an ideal location and they are happy to help with information and maps. However, you will have to take a car ride into Grazelema (5km) if you want to eat out other than in the hotel. The village is full of interesting restaurants, bars and quaint streets. Market is on a Tuesday. The whole area is very beautiful.
