We stayed for a short 4 day break. Didn't really know what to expect although reviews were strong. Run by an Englishman - many of the staff are also English - very high quality. They couldn't do enough for you. Room was beautiful. Pool area has recently been upgraded with a fantastic decking area, high quality sun beds with big... More

Excellent hotel with very good food,service,except for breakfast when service could be more efficent. Room (we stayed in a junior suite) was superb in every way. One major problem, for me anyway, was the system for charging drinks and food to your room account, when you were never asked to sign any docket/bills incurred, and therefore had no way of... More

It was run by British people, so the restaurant was very British focused. The pool was nice, and our room was also very spacious. My only complaint would be that it was quite... More

A party of about 18 stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate a friends 50th Birthday. From the car park and the beach, the hotel dosen't look anything to talk about but as you walk through the main doors you know you've found somewhere special. The decor is refined but comfortable, all well maintained. Reception is friendly and welcoming... More

If you get a chance to go to this dinner I would urge you to go. The food was superb, the setting very romantic, the hotel itself is fabulous and the entertainment on the night was fantastic. We had a fabulous evening made even better by the impeccable service. As an example at one point my sleeve got covered in... More

I am writing this review in the final hours of my stay at El Oceano Beach Hotel, rested, comfortable, and sad that I have to leave tomorrow. I have thought how I should word this review without excessive hyperbole so that it can be appreciated.
