La Isla y el Mar Hotel Boutique

I cannot fault my experience at this hotel. Everything was perfect from start to finish, the food, atmosphere, decor, the amazing shower and the comfortable bed. Pool side service, along with room service, chocolates and water delivered to your room daily. The Italian barman with his excellent knowledge of cocktails we sampled a few. The breakfast buffet had everything and more, we had dinner in the restaurant two nights which was also outstanding !! The mini fridge was so useful in our room and the plasma TV for the one night it rained and we had a night in, the staff really cannot do enough for you here, nothing is too much trouble. It's perfect for a complete relaxing break with friends or a partner, we were sad to leave !!

The hotel is in the old town of Puerto Del Carmen which we found to be very run down and dirty, with not many nice restaurants or bars. We did visit the marina a few miles away which was lovely and the strip in the new town which had more bars but wasn't really our scene. So we stayed in the hotel much more which we loved, as it has everything we needed. Tiny dislike is the tiny plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles which are not good for the planet and the use of plastic straws in the bar, I feel they could use more environmentally friendly alternatives.
