This 4 star hotel is located in Costa Ballena, in the municipality of Rota (Cádiz). Its situation is unique and privileged - on the beachfront, and bordering on the resort's 18 + 9 hole golf course designed by José María Olazábal and extremely close to such emblematic places as the towns of Rota, Sanlúcar, Chipiona, Jerez or Puerto de Santa Maria. Built in the Mediterranean architectural style, the hotel is designed to house activities all year round, even in winter, as for example in the complete Thalasso-Spa. A delightful stroll through the gardens leads one directly to the beach, the golf course, the paddle tennis court, the children's area with a wide variety of games and swings, or the pools.

Beautiful, Peaceful Location

Friendly staff. Very nice room for the price. Beautiful location. Take advantage of the nice, clean beach while you are there. If you go on business as I did, make sure you take time out to go to the beach and enjoy walking around Rota.Make sure you remind them that you booked through [...]so they don't charge you a second time.

There are more than enough dining options in Rota. You will need to drive. Be sure to stop by O'Grady's Irish Pub and go to any one of the many tapas restaurants.

Relaxing beach getaway

This review is based on a trip that I took during the summer of 2010. First the bad (not much of that). Parking is difficult. When I arrived in my rental car, there was no parking available in the hotel's parking garage. So I had to circle around for awhile and park on the street pretty far away. Once I was able to get into hotel parking, it was a little more to park there each night than I had anticipated. The other problem is that there are not a lot of food options close by. I could eat at the hotel buffet for a lot money for each meal (unless I had meals included, which I did not know about before I got there) or drive to another establishment. None were in very close walking distance, although it was nice to walk to some places in the afternoon for a cerveza. Now for the good. The rooms are incredible. Very large rooms, beds, and bathrooms by European standards. The pool was great, which I had an incredible view of from my balcony. I only spent one day at the pool, since it is also only a few minutes walk to the beach, which is not crowded at all. I really enjoyed my time at the nearby beach, which has very nice facilities for a free public beach. The staff was friendly and the bartenders at the lobby bar at night were especially good. The night show for kids is equally entertaining for adults, even if you don't speak Spanish. I took this trip to relieve some stress from work, since I had not taken a vacation for a long time. I slept better here than I had in a long time, and was finally able to relax. I felt years of stress melt away. I wanted a place where I could do nothing but relax, and this was the perfect place for it. The hotel is a close drive to Chipiona, where I went to watch Spain win the World Cup. I did not use the spa, but it was a short elevator ride away. In all, I spent a week relaxing at a very nice hotel and I feel rejuvenated to go back to work. I do not take this lightly because i have been to a several places around Europe and this was the best for that purpose. No sight seeing, just total relaxation.

Shopping tip: Short drive from hotel

As soon as you get there, go to the Mercadona (supermarket) that is nearby. There are street signs directing you to it. There you can buy cheap beer, water, and snacks to keep in your room. There are also a nice little shopping area nearby to get some souvenirs that are not too tacky. On the way, make note of the small tapas shops that you can walk to later and have a relaxing cerveza or ice cream in the afternoon. You will also go past the golf course, which looks very nice.

buen hotel, en la playa. La unica pega es que tardan mucho en recepcion. Visitar el spa es una buena opcion para relajarse.
