Beach Hotels & Resorts in El Rocio from AU$103

"We ended up staying here completely by accident and it turned into one of the most unique experiences of our trip. We originally planned to stay in Seville, but everything was sold out (we later learned there was a major marathon that weekend). The only available rooms were €1,000–€3,000 per night, which was not happening. So after dinner, we drove about 40 minutes out and found this place at a reasonable price. Arriving at night was an adventure. The town has sand roads and a very old, traditional feel at first we genuinely thought we had arrived in a lost cowboy town. There are even old-style horse posts outside the houses. It felt surreal. In the morning, everything made more sense. The town is actually a religious pilgrimage destination, which explains the layout and atmosphere and there were horses everywhere, which added to the charm. The hotel itself was very nice and comfortable. The room was clean overall (although the floor could have been cleane, our socks got quite dusty), but the shower was excellent and very comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic, and the ladies working in the morning were incredibly kind and welcoming, we loved their energy. The only small downside was noise. We stayed in a ground-floor room very close to the breakfast area, and in the morning we could hear guests talking loudly. I don’t think they realized there was a room right there. This likely wouldn’t be an issue in the upstairs rooms. Overall, it was a truly unique stay "

"It was ok - food was not the best compared to other resorts in Spain, as they always seemed to reduce to cheap. "

"We arrived to find the front door locked and no one there. A key pad was beside the door. I had been sent a check in confirmation but it was in Spanish. This seemed to say that entry was to use the key pad numbers preceded by the room number....but we had no room number as we hadn't checked in! After many attempts we got the door to open. Next was to find a room. The reception was unattended and we had to search the hotel's paperwork to find that we expected and had been allocated rooms. We located keys and found our rooms - which were very nice and as expected. We saw no one until breakfast and when we checked out there was again no one there. In the end our stay was ok, but it was disconcerting to say the least."
