Family-friendly Hotels in Costa Noroeste

We made a reservation in May and the hotel was with a lot of things in maintenance. The room was very good and with everything needed. The breakfast is very complete. I would repeat again

I was visiting friends on the naval base in Rota and decided to book a few nights at an all-inclusive resort nearby. I greatly enjoyed my stay at Best Costa Ballena! The property is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is very friendly, especially Josefi in the main restaurant, who was so welcoming and very patient with my pequeño español! I booked a ”superior” room with rooftop pool and cabanas, and if you're traveling solo, I'd recommend it, as the building seems a bit quieter than the others and the cabana area was never crowded. Keep in mind that August is the busy season, so there were a lot of families with kids, and the main facilities can get crowded and noisy, esp the cafeteria. The food selection is fresh and offers good variety, but if you're not from Spain, the mealtimes can take getting used to. Dinner at 9pm?? I'm in bed by then! Ha! Speaking of, the Spanish stay out late too, and every night at midnight, like clockwork, I got woken up by my neighbors just coming in, so the walls can sometimes be thin. However, I was on vacation, so I just slept in and wandered down to the (walking distance) beach to relax some more. There are also parks and running/biking trails nearby, as well as a gym on site, for getting in some good workouts. I had such a relaxing stay and would definitely return! I hope my friends keeping working at the base so I can visit again:)
