Cardón Vacations from $1,206

I spoke to reception about 'hot' breaskfast items being cold when I stayed earlier this year, so it was disappointing to return to find this feedback was not taken on board.

Overall a great hotel. Strong points are as follows; quite tidy and neat in the communal areas, good food at the breakfast and dinner buffets, polite staff, brilliantly easy access to the pool, complimentary cava in the afternoons, breathtaking views from the sea facing room! So pretty strong on most fronts. Negatives are as follows; caters mostly to German travellers but would certainly help if English proficiency was stronger amongst reception. Needless to say they were extremely helpful and did their best to understand me and my requests, so this is a minor (more of an experience thing than a functional thing). The next negative was with room cleanliness- now dont get me wrong they are spotless to the naked eye! But I did find a couple of light-ish wood louse looking creatures, once crawling up the bed and another time on arrival inside the cupboard. The housekeeping staff were awesome though, and did a fantastic job at cleaning the room each time they attended. So for this reason I only deducted one star for cleanliness. At least there weren’t any bed bugs. Facilities I gave a three because for starters, the gym is tiny- very difficult to get a workout in there when it was busy. I was expecting it to be small but some minor tweaks could certainly helped, e.g. making the mirror above the dumbells stretch the width of the wall so both benches can see their reflection. Secondly, some form of paid room service would’ve been nice for lunch.

Very average place to stay.

Personnel très serviable, chambre tout confort. Buffet exceptionnel.

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon looking for something more remote but still upscale and romantic. Our experience was good, the highlight was the helpfullness of the staff, who greeted us warmly and left us a small welcome gift as a token on our honeymoon. Both the best and worst part of this hotel is its proximity to world famous Playa de Sotavento. On the one hand it creates for some spectacular views and experiences; the view of the ocean from the infinity pool is one of the most remarkable I have ever experienced, and within a 3 minute walk you can rent kite/wind surfing gear and in another 2 minutes you can be in the ocean. On the other hand, the lagoon breeds all kinds of gnats and mosquitoes, so our enjoyment of the room & amenities was limited to when it was windy enough to ward off the bugs. The room, although clean and romantic, smelled a bit musty, due to maybe drainage or ventilation issues. The breakfast buffet was tasty and comprehensive, and although we did not try the restraunts for lunch or dinner, we can say it's a short 5-10min drive from some very good restaurants in town. The drinks and service at the pool were lacking, the QR codes at our table didn't work, the bartenders were unsure if they had the ingredients required for our order, and the ultimate quality of the drinks was significantly below what we expected. Overall we had a positive experience, even if it was a big more rugged than exptected. A 3.75 star hotel with 5 star views.
