Miinukset: Nothing!!

Plussat: A lovely place! Beautiful property, beautiful little village.... the owner is extremely helpful (one on one assistance always. WhatsApp) Thanks Gotz!! María Carmen served up amazing breakfast and was very helpful and super polite! The views from the property are breath taking! The whole village is a lovely “Get-away” if you want to get away with your partner. Good food and drinks all over! We be defo coming back!

Plussat: only the view.

Miinukset: the garden, the drainage smell on the balcony , the surveliance cameras - some of them being able able to catch the bed, missing lights by the pool, missing access to facilities => the room with panorama view is closed for the guests after 2pm ( check in time is 3pm) - in the morning you are allowed to "visit it" ( see the "do not touch sign") , the missing privacy => in the morning where maintenance guys are doing their job "around you".

Plussat: delicious homemade breakfast beautiful view very intimate, stylish and pretty

Plussat: so kind service at the breakfast, excellent view, great location, the owner as well very helpful. AC good working, the perfect view from every place in the room.

Miinukset: internet not always working, no regular access to phone net in the room. no TV in the room. You need a car.

Plussat: The whole stay just was amazing: stunning view on the ocean, phantasmic room, great infinity pool, the nearby beaches of the Costa de la Luz, the privacy and rest, the hospitality of Gotzan and the delicious breakfast. There really is nothing of which you can say it could be improved. Just the 'nec plus ultra'!

Miinukset: I would not know….

Plussat: Location, view, the Team - everything was amazing

Plussat: Attractive architecture; generally helpful staff; decent swimming pool. Very good breakfast. Dinner was good and very generous proportions - too much for us, in fact.

Miinukset: Breakfast room rather gloomy and a little functional.

Plussat: Beautiful location, comfortable room and we were given premium, so drink were free!!

Miinukset: The heating in the room was a little too hot

Plussat: Lovely area with main pool, children’s pool and a small more private infinity pool with double sun beds for couples. Very pretty surrounding area and just a short taxi ride to the centre of Zahara. Breakfast is lovely and has more than enough variety of foods for all. The toilets in the breakfast area are gorgeous and everything was generally clean.

Miinukset: Very disappointed with our bedroom. I opted for a junior suite for my husband and I and our two kids. The bed was large so my daughter could sleep with us and they provided a cot for my youngest daughter. The shower, taps and bath however had very very mild warm water, not enough for a warm shower. I also usually use the ‘hot’ tap water to clean my daughters beakers and bottles when we’re away but It wasn’t even warm enough for a good clean. I did complain about this and although the maintenance guy said he had fixed it, the shower that night was still not warm enough. The air con did not work either and again the maintenance man did try fixing and said he’s give us another room but we received no notice saying we’d be moved. Although we were out most of the day they could have left a note at our door or even messaged us as my number is on the booking that I made via this website. I would have expected more effort from the staff. The patio door is also quite dodgy and can easily be broken in to.

Plussat: Nice location, nice beach nearby

Plussat: Building, room, staff, location

Miinukset: The pool was out of action

Plussat: Location great Breakfast on our 1st day was very good but the second day very disappointing. Not consistent. Been coming for 20 years on & off. Great pool area & sunbeds

Miinukset: Poor consistency in breakfast Air con in room 33 very noisy & kept cutting out Mini bar filthy inside , hot & moulded. Lots of ants & flies around pool area

Plussat: Very comfortable room and friendly staff.

Plussat: Convenient location, very nice and helpful staff, plenty of comfortable rest areas around the hotel and grounds, good pool, spacious room, housekeeping efficient and thorough. Secure parking available at extra cost.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Everything: Location, staff, rooms, food, parking place for the car, all was perfect

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: The hotel is centrally located. Our room was on the ground floor overlooking the pool with it's own little terrace. The room itself was very large with a lovely bathroom that had both a large shower and a bath. Would certainly stay again.

Plussat: Convenient location, excellent helpful staff, plenty of comfortable rest areas around the hotel and grounds, good pool, comfortable bed, spacious room, good shower, housekeeping efficient and thorough.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Excellent value. Very nice room. Good location.

Miinukset: The only thing to improve is the quality of the bed.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything extremely clean and spacious, friendly staff, super comfy beds, great location. Exactly what you need for a mini break :)

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Location very good, near the beach and various restaurants and bars. Hotel spotless but a bit austere.

Miinukset: Air conditioning controlled from reception so room totally overheated on arrival and other times of the day. Reception Staff not in evidence at different stages. Pool on roof, it was tiny. Difficult to communicate with staff as they had very little English although to be fair that is common in the area and my Spanish is pretty non existent.

Plussat: As we booked late and it is high season we got to try three different rooms. All were large rooms, comfortable beds and good showers (except in the villa). The breakfast is good and the location is great if you want to be a little bit outside the village of Zahara and close to the beach. The hotel is new, modern, clean and the staff was very friendly and professional.

Miinukset: We stayed two nights in the villa which is separate from the main hotel. Although very new and modern the pressure in the shower need fixing.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast and comfortable rooms. Staff were always attentive and courteous. Definitely worth another visit.

Miinukset: I'd be nit picking to find something to complain about.

Plussat: Love the rooms. Very spacious and clean with a great shower.

Miinukset: No kettle to make tea or coffee in the room.

Plussat: All the Staff was great, pleasant and wiling to help with huge smile Breakfast was excellent and was close to the beach The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom beautiful

Miinukset: Well, the place was excellent, very nice but without privacy because the way it was designed (next room guests needed to pass through our door in order to go to theirs) and was not possible to open the curtains

Plussat: Fun pool activities and spacious rooms.

Miinukset: It’s very old looking, pretty ugly to be honest, clearly hasnt been painted in a decade! And the two-slide play park, the two by two meter zen garden and the tiny tiny indoor pool were not to be rated at all

Plussat: The pool setting and proximity to beach.

Miinukset: No tv room with bar available at night.

Plussat: Good location, walking distance to the beach and 5 minutes drive to the town, amazing pool, good breakfast and a very cheerful and professional animation team. Ideal for families with kids. Family friendly atmosphere.

Miinukset: It's getting a bit old, some furniture should be replaced. Parking chargeable.

Plussat: Pool Animation for kids Location

Miinukset: Poor choice of gluten free and lactose free food

Plussat: Great pool and plenty of fun activities for both children and adults. Clean property and helpful staff. Plenty of choices at the buffet and quickly replenished.

Miinukset: Could see that in its heyday it was a great hotel, but nowadays the buildings could use a little facelift. Some furnitures in our bedroom were a little falling apart.

Plussat: Great pool, great breakfast, I loved the activities, the Rituals toilers are fantastic . A few negative experience as described in the other section but all in all great place for a all inclusive holiday,

Miinukset: Check in was long and the staff was being difficult to some travelers, e.g. one guy asked why he cannot check in at 2 pm and the response was ' that's not what it means', which was odd. The hotel is very family friendly, but unfortunately we've got a room next to a few month old baby with a shared door so we didn't get much sleep as the baby was crying a lot at night. I didn't like the beach sunbeds policy so the sunbeds at the beach in front of the hotel are not from the hotel, it's private and you had to pay for sunbeds. It was frustrating, especially if you're on all inclusive package.

Plussat: The variety of food absolutely excellent.Yes

Miinukset: Restaurant charging Euro 26 for lunch although this is very good value but if you only want a salad as there's only so much one can eat & yes you did have the pool bar?

Plussat: The setting and gardens are beautiful. Loved being by the sea. AMAZING food with Asian influences and fantastic terrace to see the sunset and have cocktails. Modern and clean rooms.

Miinukset: There was some attention to details that was missing and some facilities needed finishing touches. We were 3 adults sharing a room and the bathroom didn't have a door, which was quite inconvenient for our party. Some cleaning details again needed more attention (coffee machines in rooms).

Plussat: I loved the fact it was pet friendly .. My daughters dog had the time of his life, We will definitely return soon with my own dogs

Miinukset: The only disappointing thing was the restaurant menu was limited, not a lot of choice for when only a snack is required..

Plussat: Loved my room and the view was gorgeous.

Miinukset: Random food choices... my family and I are very simple eaters and didn’t really enjoy the food.

Plussat: Atmosphere very relaxing, beach club feeling though out the property, very unique interior with a lot of relaxing arias to sit and enjoy your drink

Plussat: Amazing location , beautiful setting on a fabulous beach .Room with a balcony so lovely view of beach. Good food in the restaurant. The garden and bar area has a lovely chilled vibe .We loved the town of Zahara de los Atunes which is about 3 km away,lovely atmosphere in the evenings.Better staff and little more attention to detail could make this a wonderful place.

Miinukset: Staff weren't very friendly, we stayed for 6 days ,except for a lady who I assumed was the manager who we met twice we never felt as if anyone cared if we were ok or even smiled at us. The older lady who served breakfast on our first few days was quite intimidating and I felt we were inconveniencing her by being there. Most of staff don't speak much English which being in Spain is obviously fine but we communicated in our poor Spanish but got nothing back to help us out when we struggled. The room was beach shabby chic unfortunately no fridge. outdoor furniture was quite grubby.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Needs upgrade, maintence

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Friendly staff, cleanliness, nice pool, spa and gardens.

Miinukset: Expensive car park charges and set menu meal.

Plussat: nice clean comfortable rooms with balcony and facilities available and good breakfast. Near beach. Nice roof terrace with view. Restaurants are near. Relaxed athmosphere. Friendly helpful staff and management.

Miinukset: No suggestions, everything nice.

Plussat: Location ummm ummmm

Miinukset: Bed was uncomfortable, no free pool or beach towels, deck pool was extra, no ice machine, safe did not work and no shampoo, conditioner and lotion.

Plussat: On the beach front

Miinukset: Room and bathroom dated

Plussat: The Pozo del Duque is a little walk outside the village centre overlooking the long white beach of Zahara de los Atunes. We had a side sea view which was absolutely fine. The pool area is enclosed and private and due to off-season the pool was nice and empty. The wifi signal in the whole complex was brilliant. The roof terrace at the back part of the hotel is extremely lovely, especially for the stunning sunsets!

Miinukset: Even though the roof terrace is equipped with a bar, it was not open. But this may have to do with the fact that we were there off-season

Plussat: Location of hotel,central to fabulous restaurants but also rightfully boasting a very good one themselves.Situation on sea front and also village aspect.Rooms well furnished,hotel itself quite spectacular,friendly, efficient staff

Miinukset: Nothing not to like

Plussat: Close to beaches and village centre

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: The information on the room we booked in your booking.com website gives the impression it is a 'hotel' room. Upon arrival we discovered the room was actually in a bock of apartments accross the street. There was no lift, no shower screen, no wi fi after being told at reception there was. When I said it didnt work I was told they would contact a technician the day after.

Plussat: Breakfast - great selection

Miinukset: No balcony in our room

Plussat: Location is ideal.

Miinukset: Room/bathroom needs updating.
