Costa Ballena Scuba Diving Holidays

This is a lovely hotel in Jerez,in a marvelous location, adjacent to the cathedral and the palace.Very quiet,hardly any traffic and 5 mins walk to the main square/old town.Our room,superior,was a good sz with an outside space and views.Only criticism was the V small cheap fridge,and no mini bar,so no good for keeping some water cool. The breakfast they called Continental,was waitress service/no buffet.The menu was limited as we were there 4 nights.So we had mussili,yogurt and fruit each morning,no other cereals.The fruit could have been changed each day,to make a change.I was expecting some lovely melon or peaches ext.There were egg dishes, cheese and the cured Spanish ham( not our taste).The waitresses were excellent,but every thing was served to the table in different dishes so they were very busy,and for two days the room was full.You can sit outside for breakfast too,but it was a bit cool at 8.30am. The roof top terrace is very nice, just with more of a plunge pool,the bar up there was closed,but they came up and served drinks if needed. I think this hotel is quite newly renovated,from part of the Tio Pepe winery.It is a lovely peaceful, sophisticated haven,and would recommend it.I loved it. The staff are all very professional and helpful. Probably would not go back to Jerez as it is a smallish city,although you need to visit the Spanish Horse School,that was amazing and unforgettable.

The room was huge and the bed was so comfortable . Reception staff very accommodating . Breakfast was plenty of choice . Would highly recommend this hotel , as all near to all attractions

Fantastic Hotel great staff wish we had a week there but all in all excellent value

Great location. Excellent service. Wonderful attached restaurant. Staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.

We had a nice holiday but have definitely stayed in better 4 star hotels. There should definitely be a shuttle service to the marina as taxis are extortionate if you don’t have a car. The way the grounds / restaurants / bars are designed could be improved. More casual places to eat and drink during the day are needed. Disappointing we were told when booking we’d have access to la reserve and then being told on the day we didn’t. Also advised late checkout looked possible for the next day and then 12 hours later being told no!

Beautiful property, lovely rooms and super friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Outstanding small hotel with excellent dining and service.

Virginia, the owner was kind and helpful. The room was charming, clean and comfortable.

Only picky things to mention. The windows looked out onto reception so we had to keep the curtains closed all the time. The were a few marks in the cutlery draw. This is all very much outweighed by tge staff, cleanliness and comfort. Would definitely recommend.

The apartment was spacious and comfortable. The building was very nice with a nice seating area and complimentary refreshments. The location was good for the train station - an easy 15 minute walk. The only downside was the noise on a night. We stayed 7 nights and the last 3 (Thurs, Fri, Sat) were very noisy into the early hours of the morning. There is only one small bar nearby but the streets of the old town are narrow which seemed to amplify the noise as groups of people were walking and talking. We were prepared with earplugs as any city break has the potential for noise. If it hadnt been for that it would've been perfect.
