SO/ Sotogrande Spa and Golf Resort Hotel

Superb hotel, friendly and professional staff. We enjoyed it SO much we’ll back there in July, unfortunately at other room-rates. We suggest to book the ‘Studio-rooms’, they are awesome and magnificent. Congratulations to the whole team & management! Warm regards, Dirk & Greet De Maesschalck

This hotel will be our new regular hotel! Not only is the facility beautiful and always well-maintained, but the staff in particular make this hotel a very special place. Therefore our very big THANK YOU to all employees! See you next time. We cant wait!

If you want to spend too much money on an « upgrade » Novotel , this is the place. Just to name of few issues we during our stay of five nights: - shower overflowing (poor maintenance of sewage) - very poor advice from concierge - super slow response from the staff on requests made prior to our arrival - food in the Ixo bistro and at SoCiety are the quality of a standard motorway diner… - a lot of renovation ongoing (pool area) without pre-warning - No soap in the shower - indoor pools smells worst than public swimming pools However, the surroundings and the resort itself is beautiful and the staff has the potential to be trained. If they want to go for 5-star level, they can…but it cannot be just an upgrade version of a Novotel

Our family of 3 had a wonderful stay. The room is nicely decorated and the bedding is very comfortable. It’s very quiet and great for relaxation. We especially love the family pool and the kid club staff were the best. They kept our kid entertained while we relaxed on the lounge. We will definitely come back.

Stunning hotel, staff and facilities are excellent Just be warned when you arrive to read the small print as we were charged for bottles of wine which was all inclusive wine but unless ordered by the glass they charge you and add on a tip every time. Please check your bill every time you are asked to sign. It was a disappointing end to a lovely holiday with a massive bill.

It is a beautiful Hotel, perfect with kids and for Sport. A lots of Golf players are in this Hotel but also a lots of families with their kids.

Lovely hotel in one of the most beautiful parts of Spain … All the staff were exceptional, nothing too much trouble and always a smile for everyone A very big plus was all pools locked until 9..30 so nobody could put towels on sunbeds. Well done All restaurants were excellent… we had semi inclusive for the 1st time and couldn’t fault anything … exceptional service. We will definitely return

The hotel is absolutely Beautifull, the staff is friendly and helpful, me and my family enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived. The fact to have a little garden space, was a plus and not the usual hotel room. The kids area and pool was entertaining, the food was amazing and biggest compliments to the staff from the society clubhouse which were really helpful. I hardly recommend the hotel to anyone who want to have an unforgettable experience.

My girlfriend and I stayed a SO Sotogrande for a week on a working holiday just to get some guaranteed sun and we could not have predicted to have what turned out to be one of the best European holidays we have had and loved it so much we have started planning to move there. We originally booked this as we had a lot of points from Accor to use and this allowed us to use our suite upgrade perk for the entire week and when we arrived we got upgraded again to a suite with a garden. The room was lovely with a very nice front garden which was really green, a very spacious and lovely bathroom and an entry hall with a covered patio which was lovely to sit at and play some cards or take a work call. We loved the room and the bed was large and comfortable, the only complaint is that the private patio out the back of the bathroom smelled really bad from the drain out there so it wasn’t pleasant to sit at all. The food at the hotel is fantastic, I read a lot of reviews saying the food was good but as a very discerning diner I was sceptical about the food in the hotel but honestly we were so pleasantly surprised, it was the best hotel food I have had outside of the Maldives. The tapas bar open from 6-11:30 is really good, the food is all incredible and the cocktails are amazing, the cocktails are expensive and more equivalent to central London Prices but the food is good value especially considering you are eating in a hotel. The only issue was one night we went just for a cocktail and waited 40 minutes after ordering for them still to not arrive so we had to leave to go to our dinner reservation. Marxa is their sort of mid level restaurant with Cortijo being their fine dining option but we didn’t dine their. Marxa is wonderful and the manager is very friendly and attentive making sure everything is ok and you have a great time. The food is very good and portions are huge, lots of grill options and all produce used is really good quality. The breakfasts are great too all with lovely service. The service generally is also really good, everyone has a big smile when you interact with them and they all seem to enjoy what they are doing which is great. Only small thing was a policy issue when I asked if a couple of extra glasses and some ice could be brought to the room they said that would be €5 which for that I felt just left a little bit of a bad taste and not reflective of the rest of the hotel experience. The other thing that felt slightly stingy was the fact that in the room we were only given 1 wine glass each and 1 water glass each, zero cutlery or even a spoon, zero mugs for the coffee machine and no water was given in the room either. The location is fantastic with amazing views of the undiscovered gem that is Sotogrande, set on the back of the hill behind Sotogrande in an exclusive housing area, only 10 minutes drive to the beach and marina, 30 minutes to Marbella and Gibraltar. For a relaxing holiday with good food I could not recommend it more
