I love this charming hotel situated on the road between Algeciras and Tarifa. I thought there might be traffic noise but no such thing - just the gentle sound of a herd of goats nearby and the braying of a donkey. Decent sized rooms with terrace and a spacious bathroom. Lots of space to relax in both inside the hotel and outside around the large pool. I would definitely return.

Weekend away
We booked a bungalow, for a couple with a small dog. Good size room, a/c, small fridge and private bathroom with small bath and shower. Each bungalow has an outside sitting area. The bungalow’s are located a few minutes walk from the main hotel, in the gardens near to the pool. When we stayed there were not too many guests using the pool, so was quite peaceful although there is a little road noise (could not hear it when inside). Pool a good size with loungers. We ate in the restaurant (nowhere else within walking distance). There was a good choice and the food was good and not overpriced. The hotel is about 10km from Tarifa.

This is a small piece of paradise in southern Spain! The cabin we rented was spacious and clean. We had a small patio with two chairs where we enjoyed relaxing. The gardens are beautiful and well kept. We rented a car so it was easy to get to Tarifa (10 minutes away) and back and parking was right on site (unlike many hotels we stayed at in Spain). The buffet breakfast was great. The swimming pool is huge, and very deep so not ideal for small children. I would stay here again.

Good location - with some issues
I booked 2 Double Rooms. Because we arrived so late, I think we were "upgraded" to two "cottage" rooms. Good news: parking was convenient (just off the highway), location was convenient for the Tarifa port to travel to Morocco for a day trip and to go to Gibraltar the day after. The cottages were by the pool and the flowers were just beautiful. Downside: previous guest in one cottage took the A/C remote so my adult buys - who were given a fan - had a hot night in Spain. The windows were left open so there some bugs in their room. The cottages are relatively inconvenient to the front of the hotel require change in levels, numerous openings and a couple different sets of stairs. The maid placed my sons dirty clothes in the bidet which was not appreciated since they were in a pile on the floor. Our toilet was jammed but with jiggling we fixed it and it worked for the rest of the stay. In the end we liked the stay - just had a few drawbacks.

Set in a beautiful garden
This is a lovely hotel, quite lovingly decorated in every hall and corner. The pool, deck, bar, is set in a garden, very tranquil. There is an excellent restaurant on site where we ate a delicious lunch (menú del día) while waiting for our room to be prepared. A perfect spot to rest after a day trip to Tangier, Morocco.

Shaky start. Nice recovery.
It's a nice hotel in the middle of nowhere, about 10-15 minutes from Tarifa, with nothing else around it. I was upset checking in when told our pre-purchased breakfast didn't start serving until 8:00 AM because we had to be at the port in Tarifa to board a ferry to Morocco at 8:30. But to the hotel's credit, people were there at 7:30 so we did get a quick bite before leaving. The hotel itself is fine. Clean. Comfortable. Decent TV and WiFI. If located in town, I could probably give it a 5.

Great hotel athough weather was terrible we loved sitting by the fireplace for evening drinks and breakfast. View From view was cloudy yet still inspiring. Resto staff are friendly with a sense of humour. Lots of character here and close to Tarifa or Gibraltar. Only issue is weak wifi. I have local SIM card so not a big issue.

What a great find!
This hotel is gorgeous. Upon arrival we found that there was a mix up with our reservation dates. Even though it was not the hotel's fault they took care of us and honored our reservation. When we were shown to our room, we couldn't believe our eyes. It was a beautiful little bungalow room set in a little bit of paradise. From the outside you can't really tell how nice it is. the hotel is tucked away pretty well and if you don't pay attention, you'll drive right past it. It's close enough to Tarifa that you can hang out there in the evening or take the ferry to Morocco. We did both. It's far enough outside of the main part of town to be quiet and uncrowded. To top it all off, the price was great. I definitely would stay there again.

Great plate to admire the Straights of Gibraltar!
Last year we had taken a month to tour Andalusia, but we had missed three towns on our list: Tarifa, Medina Sidonia and Ronda. This year, we were visiting Morocco and took the opportunity to cross to Spain to finish our Andalusian tour. The people at this hotel were warm and welcoming (as most Andalusians) and the fare, outstanding.

Traditional ...
Right on the busy road leadingfrom algeceiras to tarifa however rooms are set back so toad noise is minimal. Nice reception area with fire going (which may seem strange as Brits in the warm weather but the Spanish are cold in their winters). Had dogs with us so requested a bungalow which as it turned out was as faraway from reception as could be - a bit of a trek but room definately worth it. A bit shaded in the winter months, so could have felt a little old, but in the summer would imagine quite pleasant. Nice modernism with large bathroom. Definately worth the very short stay and would absolutely stag again. You do need a car though to make day trips etc.

Hotel near Tarifa, by noisy road.
Checkin was disappointing as clerk gave us a better room than booked and tried to charge us for the difference.I declined and said please put me in room originally booked. Eventually, he moved us down one floor and did not request extra money. Bed was mediocre, so I could not really recommend this hotel. Amenities were OK , with lovely views fro hillside rooms. Did not use the restaurant, so cannot comment.

Secret Gem
If you've looked at the Tarifa hotel ratings, you know the picture is not encouraging. Meson de Sancho is 10 minutes north along the coast and is better than the ratings I've seen for it. The staff is great. No matter what we asked for, they were willing to help with, including getting a call thru to my US bank. The facility is charming. Rooms are comfortable and clean and well maintained. The value for the price is astonishing. They were able to arrange a Tanjier tour, including pickup at the hotel (well, across the road) but only with FRS, but provided other suggestions if we wanted to go with someone else. The downside is there is nothing in the immediate neighborhood, but Tarifa's an easy drive. And it's located on a fairly busy road. The attached restaurant is terrific. Food was extraordinary, service friendly, ambiance like a big family dinner. If your primary reason for being in Tarifa is the Morocco trip, this is where you want to stay.

Great hotel near Tarifa
We had just a one night stay at this lovely property. Unfortunately, the weather was not very cooperative so we could not enjoy the beautiful pool but the accommodations were terrific as was the view of the Atlas Mountains in Africa. Hotel is a little ways from town but not difficult to find. The staff were very helpful. The hotel also has a restaurant as well as a small gym which came in handy.
