“Very nice staff , great location.”

Excellent option if you plan to stay in the Isla area which has outstanding beaches.Well priced, great staff and pretty good sized rooms although a little bit dated like the rest of the hotel except for the restaurant.Very good breakfast.

We stayed here as part of a tour group with Newmarket holidays. Hotel is very clean, room on the first floor easily accessible by stairs or lift. Bed was comfortable, had a mini fridge in the room to keep our drinks cool for outings the next day, a view of the sea beyond the car park from our window. We didn't have a bath like some of the rooms but were very happy with the shower, once we worked it out it was one of the best showers we've had in a hotel! Only criticism of the room was the lack of air conditioning, when we asked reception to have this switched to cool they said they couldn't because the whole system was still on winter settings - not sure why in June there is no choice! Having the window open wasn't a problem except for one night when it rained heavily, the rain hit the metal pipes outside with a constant dripping so didn't sleep very well, the rest of the week was fine. We found the food OK, there was no choice because we were part of a group and mostly we were served fish, which was very nice, fresh and tasty, the main thing lacking was the veg, the main meal came as a portion of fish/meat and nothing else, we were not fussed on the desserts apart from tiramisu and a pastry one. The bar was very reasonable with a pint of beer and a wine coming to 3.80 Euros in total served with a bowl of crisps. Breakfast was buffet style, eggs and bacon served from chaffing tins each morning also a choice of pastries; fruit; cereals; cold meats and cheese. We tried the Spa which was lovely, pool, sauna etc had the place to ourselves which was nice (and by chance!). The little town itself is very quiet and comes alive with Spanish families at the weekend, the beaches are beautiful with fabulous picturesque rock formations, it is very quiet and not a place to go if you want somewhere lively, the peace and quiet suited us perfectly. This is definitely a great base for a tour holiday like ours and on the free time days it's a quiet place to chill with a book.

“Hidden gem ”

I stayed at the isla bella Hotel the first week of September 2018. My friend had booked it with 3 friends as part of a coach trip but they had to pull out at the last minute. I had no idea what to expect. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The resort is fantastic. Small, rural, compact and not known to many tourists. It is very Spanish and hardly anywhere speaks English. Having said this I managed with my extremely limited understanding of the language and Google translate. The hotel is lovely. Small, compact, Spanish. That food was fine, as part of a tour it was all served at the same time and hot. Breakfast was buffet and had plenty of choice. We used the spa, again hidden gem, again compact and adequate. Had the best facial. The resort beaches are beautiful, large and very clean, unspoilt. You will need a sunshade and something to sit on as there are no places to hire these. To me another good point. The whole place is like going back in time but that to me is an attraction. If you want British standard 5 star spa hotel don't go there. If you want quaint family run, clean, tidy and everything you could need then go for it. Oh and look out for Carmen, one of the breakfast waiting staff, she is wonderful.
