Fresneda Holidays from £123

Nice cottage home in a secure area. Hosts were pleasant and responsive. It was hot at night, we were told the fan was for decoration- although the switch and wires were present it didn’t work. Very difficult to air the house out or ventilate because of the flies and mosquitoes that would enter. There was a strong smell of mold and insecticide throughout the home. There were small flies coming from the plumbing in the tub. It was an affordable place to stay a short drive from very nice beaches and old towns. Many homes being built next door meant construction trucks crane and crews were working early in the morning.

Good location close to town. Has a cafeteria and breakfast room. Has its own parking garage but parking is not free for guests. Has coffee service and serví bar in the room. Good value.

Hotel Chiqui sits in a unique position at the end of a beautiful stretch of beach and we had a wonderful week long stay. From the first moment the staff were friendly and attentive and spoke such good English my efforts on Duolingo were pointless! The hotel is modern and clean and the infinity pool is a bonus, with a shallow (waist deep) side suitable for leisurely swims and the remainder is ankle deep with 2 sunbeds to dry off on. Our room was comfortable and spotless with a balcony looking over the pool and beyond to the beach and the peninsula opposite. Breakfast is a Continental buffet so don't go expecting a full english. There is plenty of everything and it's fresh. There wasn't much within walking distance to amble to for dinner etc but the city centre is just a cheap bus ride away and if not there are 2 little supermarkets to get snacks and a bottle of wine. We ate in the Panorama restaurant at the hotel on our last evening and the food was excellent. Be prepared for a QR code for a translation of the menu (Google Translate had turned 'mature beef' into 'old cow') but the language barrier again was not a problem. This is a lovely part of the world, away from the touristy areas of the southern Spainish coast and Hotel Chiqui is a perfect spot to explore the area from. Highly recommend.

There was an issue with the hot water one morning, but it was resolved the same day. The reception staff was exceptional, at check-in as well with responses to issues. Gracias.

Nothing but praise very nice overall. Wish it was closer to city center
