Ilunion Calas de Conil

Got Very quiet room to the wall/ empty field and had a restful night. Beach is superb! Pool is very big and nice. Nice long trail along the coast. We liked it very much but stayed only one night.

Room was quite small, no kettle for tea. Old tv without Airplay support.

Amazing location directly at the beach with a small rather private beach. Very friendly staff. My first room smelled of cigarettes, but I got a new room and after that nothing to complain about. Very extensive buffet for breakfast and dinner. WiFi at the room was fast and reliable for video calls and video streaming.

Pricey parking of 10€ per day. Dinner buffet had vegetarian dishes but choice was limited since most had meat or fish.

We liked the front desk agents (Paulo checked us in and was lovely!). They were friendly, helpful and profesional! They also helped when we found a lost dog in the street close to the hotel. The hotel was very clean and modern. We liked that they gave you beach/pool towels and that there was lots of outdoor seating for breakfast. There were many plant based options for breakfast, they had numerous alternative milk options, and the roasted tomatoes were delicious! It seems this hotel is owned by Once, which is great. It was very accessible and we'd love to bring our elderly parents here in the future (although the calas are not that accessible since you must take a long set of stairs to teach the beautiful beaches).

There could be more signs to help guest move around the hotel easily. The bar in the lobby had a very limited menu, and was sold of of MANY items during our two night stay! This was a huge disappointment because there are no restaurant options close to the hotel. We would love to bring our adopted dog with us next time, but the pet fee is ridiculous (30€/night). The dog hotel in Chipiona charges 20€/24 hours, so bringing your dog to stay with you at this hotel, costs more than care from a pet sitter!!

We had a very spacious and clean room. With access to the garden and in front of it we had sun beds to use. We did eat twice at the buffet, and we had a buffet breakfast as well. The choice was wide and of excellent quality. The restaurant was spacious and the employees very friendly. We tried as well the a la carte restaurant and the food was delicious. Even the pizza and toasties at the snack bar were very nice. The whole infrastructure was good including the spa pool. And the access to the little beach is incredible. You are just 50 meters away to what looks like a private beach. Amazing.

The only critique we would have is the fact that the hotel clearly says that no one is allowed to reserve the umbrellas and sunbeds around the pool. And whilst there is no run on those in the morning like you have seen on various videos online, the reality is that there were many sun beds and umbrellas reserved over lunch time and the majority of the afternoon without anyone using them, because people were either down at the beach, having their siesta or being somewhere else. And they were definitely not in the pool. Therefore, if you establish such a rule, then you should make sure as well that the employees do reinforce this by removing the towels of people that are not using the sun beds and umbrellas. Otherwise, there is no point in having those rules if no one respects them and/or enforces them.
