We stayed at the El Cid late September into October, having booked through a travel operator. Read the reviews before we went so was a bit worried about staff attitudes etc, but need not have been. The room was good, very, very clean, had linen and towels changed so many times I lost count. The TV only has two English... more

My Wife and I have stayed here in previous years and have no hesitation in returning. Check-in staff are friendly and helpful and speak good English.

I'm pretty... more
