Good family hotel
12 nights family holiday. We’ve stayed before at this hotel and we were delighted with our room - ask for a rear view of the nature reserve! Food is always excellent at the Iberostar. We stayed half board so can’t comment on drinks but they looked good. I would say the lighting in the canteen style restaurant needs working on as the ambience was OK for evening dinner. The hotel is now 90% Spanish/Portuguese guests which appeals to us but, English is very limited do you have to try your Espanol! Entertainment was busy and they worked hard. I would say that the hotel is in need of some modernisation now but, it is still a decent choice for a beach holiday. The playa was great, Neptune’s still going strong in the marina and the restaurants in Punta del Moral are still outstanding quality and value. Ayamonte still a nightmare to park and a little rundown - watch out for the beggar parking attendants. We visited Sanlucar de Guidiana and absolutely loved it - zipwire and all! Muy Bien!

Second time in this property and it was again great! Good food, friendly staff, excellent service and all very clean. I did feel that this time the entertainment was a bit slow for our age range, there was a big group of elderly people in the property and not many activities going on like we had the year before.

Excelente todo incluído, a comida nos buffets era muito boa e a diversidade de bebidas incluídas também. O que mais me impressionou foi a simpatia do staff, excelentes colaboradores com um sorriso na cara sempre, com um especial obrigada à equipa de animação, pool bar e restaurante sem deixar de mencionar também a excelente limpeza do Hotel. Só achei o quarto um pouco pequeno, não havia muito espaço de passagem entre as camas e parede e a TV estava muito para fora o que fez com que estava constantemente a dobrar-me para passar.
