Hotel Don Diego by Ĥ

"We booked a couple of rooms here for an overnight stay with the four of us. It was easy to find and there was plenty of street parking. The reception team were friendly and helpful and our rooms were immaculately clean. We had paid a little extra for the garden view rooms which had their own balconies and overlooked the park. I'm so glad we did that as it meant we weren't facing the road and that is my only criticism here in that there is some traffic noise through the night, so I would advise other guests to do the same. Its location is great as its less than ten minutes walk to the area of town with all the restaurants and bars for an evening meal."

"I have visited this Hotel about 24 times so have a good knowledge of the routine and have been present with both companies. Negative first. We had a problem with the discount not being applied and had to wait quite some time for the refund. The food variety does need improving. Every time I have visited there has been Tia Maria or Kahlua available but this time the coffee type liquor was not acceptable. I mentioned this to a few people including senior management, I was told they would try to rectify this many times with no success. I am thinking of bringing my own next time which is a bit ridiculous when on All Inclusive! As a client I noticed that food , entertainment and staff improved if there were more people making you feel as though it’s not worth the effort. I appreciate this is probably a monetary issue from the Hotels point of view but this my holiday and I am worth it. Now for the good points of which there are many. The Hotel has improved , it seems to have more room and is a lot brighter. As mentioned I have visited many times so the quieter location suits. It is in a lovely area. I feel at home as soon as I arrive. The staff are the jewel in the crown at this Hotel they are all so friendly and so helpful. Special mention to Louisa , Jose ( Italian restaurant) Jose ( entertainment) and of course Isabel on reception. I will be there again in May next year as I work in a school and have time off then and can relax with my sister. Thank you Alexandra Heaney"

"We are fans of Paradores and always had excellent experiences in them! This one was not different. Spacious rooms, lovely views, excellent dinner and very friendly and professional service! Looking forward to our next parador!"

"Constant frustration at the lack of communication of hotel policies and reviews. One person says one thing someone else tells you something else. Have to work out for yourself where things are. Not everything is all inclusive unless you have the upper tier. Wasn’t made aware of this on booking. Stand at bar for ages waiting to be served while they serve whoever they want in any order they want. Supposed to be stress free holiday yet have constant annoyances and frustrations. Won’t return. A shame as it has so much potential"

"We have just packed to go home in the morning.This is our second time we have visited this hotel it is amazing from the staff that greet you to the cleaners waiters and top marks for all the chefs in the kitchens the food here is amazing so much chose all well cooked and displayed lovely. The drinks are reasonable 3.60 euro for a glass of wine which is very nice. We used to have our meals further down in the dining room it was like an orangery bit quieter in there. Our room was cleaned every day clean towels every day rooms always smelt lovely when they had been cleaned. If you like walking it’s mostly flat walks along the front you can walk round to another little village by the sea a much cheaper supermarket there. We used to stop off and have a small lunch at the English bar that is round the marina excellent food and you get a. proper pint of beer for 4 euro. The hotel has lifts all working ok. Last year we stayed in a room watching the fishing boats coming in and out but found it a bit noisy early mornings and late at night if you want a quieter room just ask. Woukd we stay here again yes we would I can honestly say in the 20 years we have been having holiday this has been the best one we have stayed at. Oh I must mention the guys round the pool this morning showing us how to make sangria also drink it they were very good. Always fresh fruit and lovely selection of breads"

"OK the hotel is in a very quiet and peaceful area, very close to the beach and its beautiful walks. And its architecture is very pleasant. OK the rooms are nice. They could be bigger - and the general impression will also probably depend on the size of the terrace you have. OK the buffet meals offer a very large and healthy choice. OK the outdoor pool is very nice - the inside pool as well but the area is very small and can only accomodate amax; od ten people at a time, which is clearly not enough. The animations (aquagym, evening shows) are nothing to write home about. The animation team members are young. They are unsmiling. Their level of English is hilarious. The all inclusive and all inclusive+ formulas are very surprising and disappointing, since they are quite expensive and only offer you a 50% discount on a large number of drinks, which I had never seen anywhere else. Some members of staff in the restaurant are very rude. And I still cannot believe that on the day of our departure (at 6.30 am) it was impossible for us to get access to the restaurant and have even a light breakfast - which is unheard of and unacceptable."

"we rented out an appartment here for a little less than a week. The town is small, so i would definitely recommend having a car in this area, unless you're fine with only staying at the pool and/or beach, and staying in the immediate area for food — the area is blocked off by waterways on all sides but you can take a ferry into Isla Cristina for a few more options (also small though) We took a day trip to Sevilla and Olhao portugal from here, which were very doable. The appartment itself was fine, nothing too special. The kitchen is small but has everything you need. Bathroom had a smell. sadly we didn't have nice neighbours, they were Brits who played loud football games and music all day, and they didn't listen to our requests to tone it down. The staff said they couldn't help us. We were also missing linnen for one of the beds. we went to the desk a few times in the afternoon before it was finally delivered around 21:00. The pool area is nice but it depends which part of the resort your rooms are in, which pool you can use. Since we were in the appartment area, we had one pool available. The hotel had 2 + a slide, and daily dances / music to entertain the children attending. We definitely preferred our side, but the sound from the other pools was present most of the day. There's many exts and entrances to go to the beach, it's only 5 mins away, which is great."
