Situated next door to the Hotel Fuerte Conil, owned by the same chain, this hotel opened its doors in spring 2004.
There are three outdoor pools (including one for kids) and an indoor one. At the time we were there (Sep 2004) the hotel was not full, and there were plenty of loungers availalble around the pools, although whether this would be true at the hight of the season I cannot say. But if you do not fancy the pool, the hotel is just a couple of minutes from an enormous beach (stretching away several kilometres in either direction), with plenty of space for everybody.
The rooms are spacious and have all the usual facilities expected in a 4star hotel, and all have balconies.
Breakfast and dinner are both buffet style. Dinner, at EUR 22.00 a head ( + drinks), is not particularly cheap and, even though it is a buffet, tends to get rather repetitive. The hotel restaurant is geared to northern European eating times and closes at 10 pm, when most Spaniards are just about thinking of going out to dinner. There are however several alternative restaurants in the immediate neighbourhood (the Fontanella on the beach is recommended) while, if you care for the 15-minute walk, Conil itself has a wide range of different eateries to suit all purses, with offers ranging from tapas to pizzas, from shellfish to steaks; and most of them serve meals at any time from 6pm to midnight.
Formerly a small fishing port, Conil is by no means a charming or attractive town but it is popular with Spanish families and, increasingly, with people from Germany. (In fact, German is the hotel's second working language after Spanish - but don't worry, most of the staff can speak English as well.) This makes for a quiet resort for families and couples looking for peaceful relaxation rather than a hectic nightlife. The noisiest thing we had to contend with was the roar of the Atlantic surf crashing on the beach a couple of hundred metres away. Would we go back? You bet we will!
