“Flintstones Holiday”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 8, 2012

I stayed here a while ago, it was very new and different accomodation to anthing else I had ever stayed in before. The caves were very nice, self contained with all you need really. The pool was very nice and there was also area outside for BBQ's including tables. There is a Turkish bath on site but we did not use it. If we ever went back here we would make sure we were self sufficient and be more prepared to cook in the cave. There was a leaflet that you could arrange for a pizza etc to be delivered to your cave, but if you wanted to have a meal or a bar you did have to leave and drive to the nearest village some 10 mins away. I recently visited again but just to see how the place was looking but was dissapointed that it appeared from the outside only that the grounds etc and the general up keep was much lacking.

“Relaxing Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 3, 2012

Just spent two nights in the hotel, while the outside temperature was over 40deg the cave rooms were a very pleasant 19deg - bliss. Lovely swimming pool, friendly owners and nice bbq area made our stay special. Its a little out of town for restaurants but to be able to bbq or cook in the kitchen area made up for that.
Guadix is a town well worth visiting and so is a drive round the cave dwellings area.

“Great location, nice staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2012

A great place to relax and enjoy the wonderful surroundings of Guadix town.
The arab baths and the owner´s dog made our stay a little more special......but nothing could beat the fireplace!!!!
We will definitively be back soon!

“What a relaxing hotel...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2011

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights this November and had a wonderful time. The owners could not have been more helpful and friendly and made us feel at home instantly. We paid for a package which included a session in the spa and massage, accomodation and firewood for the open fire. Despite the fact that it was the middle of November when we went, the cave was far from cold and the open fireplace was so cosy. The arab baths were wonderful- so relaxing, and great value for the money that we paid. We would definitely go back!

“Fantastic welcoming retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2011

This is a wonderful place to stay - the hosts were very warm and welcoming - always on hand to give advice. We stayed for one night so didn't make the most of the pool or the kitchen facilities but everything inside our cave was lovely - I will upload pictures which may not do it justice!

We had a massage and used the hot and cold pool before enjoying some sweet tea - I would highly recommend this after a hot day seeing the sights of Granada or trekking!

We went out for dinner to Purullena which is the nearest town and had a nice experience surrounded by locals only. (Guadix didn't look so great).

My only words of advice would be do not trust Google Maps! It is not where they show it to be (we spent a fair while driving around Benalua and finally asked a bemused local who pointed us in the right direction).

IGNORE my rating of the fitness centre - there isn't one!
