Hotel Don Diego

The hotel staff were very friendly and relaxed, however they were not very clued up about local attractions, transport etc. we also expected a room with a balcony which we didn't get. They don't charge extra for pets which is fantastic and the pasties for breakfast were delicious. The pool was also a bonus. The triple room is a very good size with a double bed in one room and 2 singles in an adjoining room. That was a nice surprise.

We only stayed here for 1 night en-route to Santander from the Algarve, the room for 4 was OK for this but may be a little small for a much longer stay. Room was comfortable enough & well sound proofed considering hotel is on a main road. Buffet breakfast was standard eat all you want continental buffet and was quite good. Pool is small, but again, good enough for a 1 day stopover, it also has a sliding roof for when the weather isn't too good. The few staff are friendly and helpful, but you need to be able to speak a little Spanish or French, they get very few British visitors. If you go down to the main beach area parking is difficult in high season, there is a large fre municipal car park, but park where you can't get blocked in, as it gets full people just start filling every last little gap.
