Robert, the new manager was exceptional in attending to our needs. They had a special event the first night and the dining room was reserved so the chef prepared a private meal for us, quite a nice touch. We upgraded to a spa room and I am not sure if it was worth it as I believe all the rooms are nice. We did like our spacious room, our breakfast and dinners were very nicely prepared. The hotel is very quiet, kinda out in the middle of nowhere. We enjoyed walking through the mines that are very close. We stayed for 2 nights and if you like a quiet respite in the middle of a busy 3 week vacation, this is a great spot and close to Mertola.
