8.2/10 Very Good! (368 reviews)

Beautiful hotel on the outskirts of Algeciras. Nice quiet room and excellent onsite restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff, plenty of parking, although it costs the same as a car to park a motorcycle in the garage. Not much around in the area, but the hotel itself probably has everything you need.

FYI, per Spanish law, you can only get on base if you have orders (assigned or TAD/TDY), or leave paperwork. From that point, only those actually assigned to the base can access the NEX and commissary (if you're on leave, you're SoL).
