The Don Carlos is closed for major repairs and renovations until at least next year. The famous name has been removed from the top of the iconic tower block. It used to be a landmark visible from miles around. We were very disappointed when we turned up there this week to visit the usually fabulous bar. There is no notice on the website or at the hotel itself. It's really not good enough that the hotel website doesn't give any indication that it's closed now, and they didn't even reply when I emailed them about it. Otherwise it was a really stylish and upmarket place to visit.

I met my husband here in 2001 on a tennis holiday from Surrey. I have since been back with girlfriends and my husband for several holidays and cannot recommend enough! The food is outstanding, staff incredibly courteous and incorporate old fashioned customer service which is incredibly hard to find these days . Staff have been there for years

we had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and I want to express my gratitude, especially to the staff member Sam. The hotel itself was top-notch, with comfortable rooms, an excellent location, and great amenities.

However, Sam truly made our stay unforgettable. Her kindness and attentiveness to guests are outstanding. She always went the extra mile to ensure that we felt comfortable and welcomed. Her recommendations for local restaurants and attractions were perfect.

I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, thanks to the fantastic staff like Sam who truly make the stay special. I look forward to my next visit!

I ordered it for my boss. Judging from his feedback, it should be quite good.
25.09.2023
Friendly staff. Beautiful setting.
Rooms clean and comfy beds.
Rooms maybe in need of a refurb. But I’ve heard that is coming.
The rest of the hotel is immaculate.
22.09.2023
The good: Staff is super friendly, service is flawless. The Spa is great.
The bad: It was recommended to us by a friend. Pictures are deceiving. The building is old. Most it remodeled but it still feels old. Food is terrible. We tried all restaurants and many menu items and the food was simply BAD. The mattress in our room was higher on one side of the bed and it felt like you’d fall off the bed when rolling over in the middle of the night. They have events on the weekends with terrible loud music that can be heard in the rooms. But … they did a great job training their staff. Very professional and helpful. While this review is for the hotel, i have to add that I was overall disappointed as to the entire area as it felt very worn out and in bad shape. It simply felt like a poor country and not a modern European country. Maybe Covid
20.09.2023
This hotel is beautiful .
The only things that spoils the
experience is. There are too many steps to go anywhere. If you want to go to the beach it us quite a walk.
The food that is served in the Bahia restaurant could be more varied. There is not a good amount of choice. If you don't like fish then you are disappointed.
26.08.2023
The rooms were old fashioned with dried up pizza crusts on the carpet. The breakfast, lunch at the pool restaurant and garden are phenomenal and lush. Haven’t tried the other restaurants but assume they are good. It’s a hotel which shows its potential, but can’t quite deliver due to the non-corresponding state of the room.
15.08.2023
Unfortunately the room does not have a 5 star standard. The walls were moldy, the carpet was falling off and you could see the dirty shell of the floor, the closets were partly broken and poorly repaired. It just doesn't feel good to sleep in a room like that. The staff was very friendly and courteous, I would only give 5 stars to the staff. The outdoor area, on the other hand, was well-kept and beautifully green. Please renovate the rooms to 5 star level!! That would do justice to the competence and friendly staff.

We just came back from Don Carlos, in general all was great. Depends what you expect. The hotel presents themselves like 5 start hotel, however the service and rooms are not 5 star.

Territory is very beautiful.

Breakfast:
1. Lettuce in the breakfast was not fresh and too much flies (maybe seasonal)
2. Everyone can cut the bread touching it with hands

Rooms:

Hotel is quite old. Don’t expect to get new room. We got the room with sea view, the view was beautiful.

There should be a bar with options in the room according 5 stars hotels criteria, but in our room was only 2/3 bottles of water. For additional water we payed 5 or 6 euros for 1 L bottle.

Room is cleaned by the team everyday.

Beach:
1. Beach and beds well organised
2. Beautiful and comfortable sea
3. Menu and service on the beach is good
4. pool in Beach club lovely for kids

For all inconveniences team of the hotel tried to help and resolve it.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't.
