“A lovely relaxing stay.”
This is the second time I have stayed at the Balcon. I really recommend booking a balcony room, the view of the mountains and coast are stunning. The garden/pool area is pretty and relaxing, and the staff are helpful and informative. The atmosphere at the hotel is lovely and laid back, and visitors to the cafe are a mixture of guests and locals. It is only a very short walk to other cafes and bars in the village. I definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxing mountain break!
“Great Hotel”
All the staff were excellent from the cleaning ladies to the reception staff. Its the first time we actually got a kettle and two cups in our room when asking during booking process. This added attention to our personnel needs help make the stay more pleasurable. We had a double room on the rear with views down to the coast- there are some rooms facing the road but I would pay the extra like we did for a balcony room. The room was large with a double bed and single bed. The hotel was clean and very comfortable. The breakfast is a basic continental breakfast with the usual bread , ham cheese, meats, cereal etc. A cooked breakfast is available at an additional charge but this is never offered so I guess you need to ask. We did eat at the hotel once for the Saturday BB-Q and again one afternoon. Both meals were good. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family. As Competa is a small village in the mountains you will need a car to get there. If you do hire a car contact the hotel first for the best approach as the Sat Nav took us to the main square which only has a pedestrian route to the hotel. The swimming pool is nice and clean but is not for serious swimmers. You can still swim in the deep section for a short while. The hotel is also open to locals. We stayed in early July and it did not seem too busy.
“A Good Choice of Hotel.”
All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel was quite in January and we were able to have a balcony room with the wonderful view across the valley towards the sea. Food was the best I had had in Spain, plenty of choice and cooked to a good standard. I would be happy to recommend this hotel.
“A Gem”
A fantastic stay in a small and beautiful genuine andulasian town. Lovely old buildings with cobbled streets. The hotel was top class. Amazing value, good food, cheap drinks, good service, lovely views, relaxing environment and very friendly atmosphere. We went at the end of January. The weather was sunny but cold at night but the rooms were well heated. We went full board - the food was simple but hearty and included a three course hot menu for both lunch and dinner (with cold options available too). The fish soup was particularly tasty. It was great to be able to sit out on the terrace for meals and enjoy the mountain views. The service was great too - very personal and staff really went that extra mile. Thoroughly recommend it - we'll be back!
“Would definitely recommend.”
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the views from our balcony window were fantastic. All the staff were really friendly and helpful - especially the waitress who served us for our evening meal and who was there again in the morning for breakfast. The evening meals were really good, with a reasonable choice of menu and excellent food. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.
“Great 5 day stay”
We were visiting my grandson who is living nearby. We stayed 5 days with the full board option. It's a small hotel, about 30 bedrooms, and because of it you get a more personal service than in a large hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had the room that the King and Queen of Spain had stayed in some years ago. Despite the provenance, it was a fairly standard hotel room, but everything worked and was very clean, with a particularly good strong shower. The room had a small balcony containing two chairs and a table, and there was a really good view down the valley. There's a bar/cafe and restaurant (which was closed in winter). The full board menu (and the set menu) is restricted to three choices on each course, but they were all good and changed each day. We enjoyed eating there. On our last day, the chef prepared a paella especially for us and it was superb. Breakfast is standard continental, fresh rolls and ham/cheese. There are other options - we saw someone with a full English - but we were happy with the buffet. The village is very pretty and well cared for, and it all seems much more relaxed than the coastal resorts. We would like to return. There is a swimming pool (being cleaned out for the summer while we visited) and a nice shady garden.
“Would stay again”
Very pleasant stay . Would stay again . Nice cross section of locals and holiday makers. Food good reasonable bar prices. Staff very attentive . Fantastic views from balcony. Very quiet area of town.
