Velez-Blanco Holidays from £319

Pleasant hotel staffs came to our room in the evening and presented us a bottle of champagne and a platter of fruits, nice hospitality

this property was fantastic value for money and gave us exactly what we needed whilst awaiting completion on our flat. 4 nights , very comfortable bed, great a/c, excellent bathroom. staff polite and professional

Very pleasant hotel well maintained. Restaurant good for breakfast but buffet style dinner menue could be improved upon.

Room was cleaned daily which was good but the rooms badly need updating. Friendly hotel and staff happy to help

The decor always was a strange mix of classical and rather tacky gold painted mock baroc, some of it looking as if it had been knocked up by carpenters on set. - and it quite possibly was. The hotel was initially built for visit ing movie stars, and the current owners have preserved the signed photos of big names who stayed there 40 years ago while filming around Almeria. Not too much has been changed, just bettered. The pool area has been rebuilt, and my ensuite was modern and new, but the room retained a slightly old fashioned feel which I thought was charming. It has a very chilled atmosphere, and decent WiFi throughout, so you can sit in the lounge and watch Netflix on your tablet, or out at the pool. You can run a tab at the bar (a nice touch), and the only slightly negative comment is about the restaurant. Friendly service, lovely setting but by offering a limited provincial menu - served on unheated plates, - we thought it disappointing. But I still really enjoyed two nights there and would happily have stayed for longer. :-)

Stayed here a good few times and always found it to be good. Breakfast is great rooms are nice and clean. The bar still doesn’t open and the restaurant is only open for breakfast. I was miffed this time that the pool area was closed.
