Top 10 El Embarcadero Hotels

No way is this a 4 star hotel , for anyone who says it is then they’ve never stayed in a 4 star before. Yes the room was clean, the location is excellent and the staff were pleasant however…. Bed was uncomfortable with the flattest 2 pillows I’ve ever seen , might as well have not had one, my pillow case had rips in it too. Room had a kettle with a lid that didn’t close and we had 2 breakfast tea bags, 2 menthol tea bags, 2 sugars and 2 small milk/ cream pods, no coffee sachets. I have never known a hotel that provides a kettle that supplies tea bags and no coffee especially in Spain where coffee is a firm favourite at morning times. I’m sure they don’t provide it in the hotel as they want you to use their restaurant. There was a small fridge stocked with a few fizzy drinks and water , we used one bottle of water and at €3 for a small bottle we didn’t buy anymore. We just thought the hotel was basic, for what we paid it really wasn’t worth it, I do find though that the “ star rating” for anything in Spain regarding facilities etc is wrong, what they say is 4 star is really 3. A Premier Inn back in the UK is much nicer than this hotel AND it’s cheaper, great value for money. We definitely won’t be stopping at the 525 hotel again.

Lovely serene hotel on great golf resort. As a Hilton diamond member I was delighted to get my room upgraded - thank you Hilton. Room was very spacious with a lovely large bath. Great views of the resort and golf course from the very spacious balcony - it’s just a shame that the lake is looking so grubby and low in water, I spoke to a local who advised the hotel owned the lake and are seemingly refusing to fill it up. The mattress was too soft for my liking and I didn’t get much sleep the first night but got used to it I guess. I’ve read on other reviews that the internal phones were not working and they still weren’t during my stay - pretty poor. The pool area and bar are the real highlights of this hotel, lovely area to chill at with a good selection of food and drink. Staff were all very helpful and breakfast was as expected from a Doubletree with a great selection. I’ll definitely stay here again - I’m already missing sitting by that lovely pool!

The hotel is modern and clean with an excellent bar and rooftop patio swimming pool area. The exceptional element of this hotel is the reception staff. We were looked after from the moment we checked in. We were a party of 8 on a golfing trip and needed restaurants and recommendations, they also contacted the various golf courses for us to sort out buggies for us. The downside of this hotel is the location. It is a €10-€12 taxi ride into town. Thank you for looking after is. There is nothing much around in walking distance.
