Ayamonte Independent Hotels & Suites

All of the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Hotel guests benefit from reduced green fees for Isla Canela Golf course €30 and the hotel has clubs for hire, or older clubs they will lend out free. The hotel is about 10 minutes out of Ayamonte. 6 euro by taxi and similar distance from the beach in the other direction.

The Reception staff speak good English and are very helpful. There is an independent coffee shop within the complex where you can buy your breakfast (none provided by the hotel) but what is on offer is quite basic. The room was spacious but the bed was EXTREMELY hard. I had to place two blankets and arrange two pillows under me before I could get to sleep. The bathroom basin had a large chip/crack in it which was rather offputting. There was a bath with shower over. However, you have to run the tap for a very long time before any hot water comes through. My room was on the 3rd floor with no indication of a fire escape route. Most rooms have a balcony - reasonably sized. I only needed one night there and the price was attractive.

The complex is well laid out and well maintained. We have only been in the out of season period when the complex is very quiet, the pool closing for the winter on 30Sept each year.The grounds are kept immaculate and appear to be very child friendly. The complex has direct access to the very clean beach. This is ideal for young families but older children would be very bored. The reception desk is only manned at certain times and not at all out of season, however Leo Apartments have a central facility just a 5min walk into town.As long as you are aware of these times it is not a problem. Would we stay again? Certainly, we have already stayed twice, due to the quiet serenity of the complex and the whole area. Why have I only scored it 4 and not 5, because I never regard anything as being perfect, but for us it is pretty close.

Typically Spanish purpose built family holiday resort a short drive from the Spanish and Portuguese border, about 90 minutes from Faro or Seville airports with a small number of supermarkets, bars and restaurants built around a marina. The area is flat, the beach relatively clean with loungers for hire, some water sports and plenty of room to set up your own beach towels with sun umbrella if you prefer. There's a bar restaurant on the beach with toilet too. Although still a Spanish resort, a little English is spoken in the bars, restaurants and supermarkets and there are one or two English bars too.

Everything was good. At the end we solved all our problems.
