Almonte Hotel with Pool

"Hotel: 4/5) modern and clean. Floor to ceiling window/doors leading to private terrace is fantastic. The room was quiet as long as the patio doors were closed, otherwise you can hear street traffic all night. Restaurant (2/5): we paid for half board. The breakfast was pretty good. The dinner was mediocre and definitely not worth the price paid. They did not explain what was included with half board and when I asked (had to ask twice), was told to pick appetizer and main. I picked and then was up-charged for one of the mains when the bill came. I get it and am willing to pay, but was never informed. The next night, I was up-charged for a main and for both desserts (again not informed) even though I ordered the same priced dessert from the night before that I was not charged for. And the wait staff was not very friendly. Mostly the men, the women were very nice when we had the opportunity… but all our servers were men. I probably would not stay here again, definitely not eat there. "

"Didn’t know the pool was closed"

"We have friends locally so our time spent in the hotel was minimal and didn't use the pool or gym if there is one. It's very clean and our room was calm and spacious, though because it is a big complex, it felt like a long walk just to get to the path or beach, but other rokms face the pool and are more central. It's generally well maintained and you can see staff working around the site but there were still areas that are overlooked, like woodwork in the bathroom. It's not a deal breaker as it was very nice. My major gripe was an incredibly rude member of staff in the restaurant and i refused to go in afterwards as Rota has plenty of places to eat and drink; his behavior caused me to spend my money elsewhere because of him tutting and blowing his disapproval at us. It was however, one person, and most staff were pleasant and friendly. "

"Older property than expected compared to their neighbouring properties. Breakfast was great. Easy walk to a beautiful beach. "

"It was ok - food was not the best compared to other resorts in Spain, as they always seemed to reduce to cheap. "
