Top 10 Las Encinas Hotels

Our arrival at the Parador Limpias was everything we expected. A nice building with a grandeur fit for a king. After check in, we enjoyed sitting at the lounge with a glass of complimentary Cava. The very large bedroom with lots of wooden cabinets and an impressive polished wooden floor enhanced the experience. The marble bathroom fitted well into the experience. Staff were efficient and we appreciated the wonderful breakfast with its a la carte options. So, our stay could have been wonderful. Unfortunately, there were too many issues that spoiled the experience. Once we started using the bathroom, strange noises and an unpleasant odor emerged from the plumbing. When alerted to the problem, the receptionist did not seem surprised and he promised to alert the technical department. Its staff dutifully arrived but with a can with refreshment spray as the only solution. Late evening and early morning, the guests upstairs got to pacing across their room on hard soled shoes. Suddenly, the wooden floor was not so attractive any more. And finally (was it because we stayed there on a Sunday night), the dishes served for dinner were very disappointing. I have rated our stay 3 stars out of 5. A shame, it could easily have been so much better.

Recently stayed in this beautiful town on our Camino adventure. The hotel is somewhat olde world and while some reviews I had read were quite critical of the state of the rooms and indeed the service, that was not our experience. Hotel is located one block back from a magnificent beach which has a 4K promenade. Check in was seamless and receptionist was very friendly. Our room was a decent one, clean/ quiet albeit we could have done with aircon as weather was quite warm. While breakfast was served on site (typical continental breakfast), there was no facility to eat at night ( staff however provided decent recommendations). The town has multiple bars/ restaurants within 5/7 minutes walk of the hotel.
