Independent in Ayamonte from AU$267

"Lovely hotel on the hill above Ayamonte, a very peaceful location with a beautiful view of the sunset over the river which is the border with Portugal. Clean, good service, ideal if you want to explore the area and stay in a relaxing and chilled space."

"Extremely comfortable and huge bed with fantastic bedding. Large room and bathroom with lovely garden view (room 303). Could do with USB charging sockets in room and info on how to connect to WiFi."

"We had a great week. The villa is very spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The large pool is fantastic, a real plus. We enjoyed a couple of our days just lounging around and in the pool. The location was generally very quiet and peaceful. There are a couple of local restaurants within around 15-20 minutes walk and lots more on the coast within a 10-15 minute drive. Gabriele was very helpful and welcoming. You must have a car, but with one everything is within easy reach and Isla Cristina has good supermarkets. We visited some local beaches on the coast between Isla Canela and Isla Cristina and there are livelier/quieter sections to suit your preferences. We also really enjoyed the experience of the magnesium baths down the road (over 12s only) Ayamonte is understated and in a lovely position on the river estuary and has a very pleasant central area if you dive into the small streets on foot. We also took a longer but worthwhile trip into Portugal, visiting the interesting and pretty town of Tavira after some time on the wide and open Praia Barril ( park up quite early to avoid parking stress and then it’s reached by a little railway over the salt marshes) An interesting contrast to the local beaches in Isla Cristina. The villa suited us very well and was excellent value for money and we really enjoyed our week. "

"10/10 accomodation. I would 100% stay again. You are looking at 5* here."

"We had a very warm welcome and the Appartement was in good condition. Parking was in a garage and big enough for our Van. We spent three great days there. Also the kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed. Thanks to the Solmares team"

"Special thanks to Inez, Gema, Isabel and Merche (all from the front desk). Excellent staff!!!"

"I can't say anything bad about the hotel, since it was a pleasant stay for my husband and I. We came from the US and we loved the place."

"No frills kind of place. The business take 2 floors of what seems to be a regular residential building. You need to call to arrange check-in, but it was easy and quick.The commercial, non-touristy area and its overall appearance didn't do justice to how clean, and comfortable the room was."
