Hostal Mar y Huerta

My second stay at this hotel and things have changed somewhat. No kettle in the room (you had to go and ask at reception for one, for a deposit) Missing bedside table. However, the room was a good size with ample storage and large bathroom. Towels were changed daily and bed made. Breakfast had a good choice and variety, although the orange and apple juices tasted synthetic and is not nice at all. Overall, I would return again, as its location is perfect for transport (buses and taxis directly out front) and a short walk to a variety of beaches plus the Camino de Playa and the Hippy Market.

This was our first stay at this hotel. It was immaculately clean, the housekeeping team do an excellent job. This made us see past the fact that it is a little old fashioned in terms of decor and furnishings. All the staff we encountered were super friendly and helpful. And we were most impressed with the blond haired waitress who never seemed to stop during breakfast service. One day she fell over with a jug in her hand and clearly was hurt but she got up, cleaned the mess and was straight back to work without fuss. Other plus points are the evening quiz, happy hour and the brilliant central location , just a few steps from the beach and many local restaurants and bars. The average age of guests is “mature” and this means it’s peaceful and quiet. The pool was lovely and had plenty of sun beds. A couple of grumbles; the beds are super firm / hard and the pillows low. This made for not very restful sleep. The towels provided are tiny and the type that don’t absorb water- take your own . And given there was no kettle or fridge in the room; when I asked for hot water to make tea with my own tea bags, I was refused and told I had to have their tea as they are not allowed to give hot water. So we had to negotiate and pay for €2.30 for each cup of hot water to dunk our own tea bag in while they rang it through the till as “tea” . However it wouldn’t stop us visiting again, all in all it is a lovely little place.

Perfect as always,,thank you so much

Clean, basic but well worth the money. Breakfast is ok.
