"We would definitely stay here again, outstanding rooms (we stayed in a bungalo). The breakfast is an incredible experience, outstanding. Two things need improvement: Big pothole at the front entrance, which I missed and drove into bottoming out the car. Secondly, the parking entrance/area could be smoother, jagged rocks and bumpy terrain. Don't show up with low profile tires/performace car, could be problematic... otherwise park on the street... Overall a hidden gem!!, well situated between Zahara and Tarifa, letting you take advantage of both cities."
