Hotel Médano

Very pleasant staff. Room was spacious and clean. We didn't have a balcony (Room 510) but there was a huge terrace right outside our door with sunlougers, our own table and chairs, an outside shower and fantastic view of the beach and sea. No AC in the room but not needed as kept the window open and drifted off to sleep to the sound of the sea, amazing. Beds were so comfortable but we needed extra pillows and asked at reception in the morning and they were in our room on returning from a walk.Breakfast was plentiful and fresh, something for everyone and great view's over the sea. Towels were a bit hit and miss twice we got lovely large fluffy towels, the other times it was more of a tea towel. Towards the end of our stay of 10 days my partner came back from reception with 2 beach towels that were big and fluffy, no charge, so I would suggest asking for those. There is a kettle in the room and tea/coffee but no milk so grab some on your flight until you can get to the supermarket. There is a small fridge and a hairdryer, we also had a bath with a shower over. The shower was "fun", lots of dancing and singing as it changed temperature from freezing cold to boiling hot but if you time it right you get about 2 mins of good temperature between changes, glad we had a bath as well. The maids did a great job cleaning the room but they do not acknowledge the Do Not Disturb sign and will bang on your door, we felt very rushed to vacate the room in the morning and on the one day we attempted a lie in we were woken by the maid knocking at 9am. Not much to do in the area, it is very residential which we loved. There is a supermaket across the square and a bigger one just 5 mins away. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the road, take the bus to San Isidro (10 mins) and you can then catch buses to the different areas, and also to the airport. A must visit is a Spanish bar on the square which is hidden by a gazebo and we didn't see until our last day, the food is amazing, the cod croquettes were delicious. The beach is lovely and clean. I will definitely return.

I booked this hotel due to its location. When we checked in we were advised by reception that we had been allocated a quiet room away from all the hustle and bustle. I can assure you it was not a quiet room due to the noise from bar next door. I am very disappointed 😞

This is a lovely three star hotel in a perfect location on the beach with direct access to the sea. The rooms are currently being refurbished. Breakfast had a wide variety with plenty of seating with lovely views out across the bay. Close to a nice selection of bars and restaurants located around the square & along the promenade. Gorgeous views of the sunset if you are in a room that looks out across to the Rioja mountain. The front of the hotel is pedestrian but there is a taxi rank and bus stop a short walk away. There is a bar/restaurant serving lunch, dinner is not offered, and a wide range of drinks including a cocktail menu. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Happy to recommend, would go back here again.

A Peaceful Haven by the Sea! This place is a true gem. The direct access to the sea from the terrace bar is simply stunning and nearly impossible to match. The staff really made us feel at home, especially Helena at reception, who welcomed us warmly and arranged one of the newly renovated, beautifully located rooms for us. Thank you, Helena, for making our stay so special with your friendly smile! The breakfast offered a great variety, though it started a bit early for my taste. The only area for improvement would be to offer dinner service, as it wasn’t available during our stay. We will definitely be back!
