      Great hotel. Cozy atmosphere and just off the beach. The restaurant was fine and serves it purpose but can be a bit slow with service.
      Just a short drive into downtown and naval base is about 5 minutes away.
      Room prices vary depending on season but aren't overly expensive. If you are military coming on orders they may be able to accommodate per diem rates.

      Great hotel. Prices change by the season . Brunch is highly recommended but they have random wifi issues! So no work being done by me but great location. Walking to the beach in 2 minutes

      Beautiful beachside hotel. Was able to secure unbelievable rates off-season and really enjoyed my time in Southern Spain thanks to the hotel staff, the beautiful property and fantastic weather. Heated pool. Steps from the beach. Very nice breakfast. 2 hotel bars that have solid food and are ran well. Cheap beer. On-site bike rental, and downtown Rota is a gorgeous 10 min ride via the beautiful beachside parqueway.

      Hands down, our favorite of all 5 hotels visited this trip, and we had pretty fun hotels in Spain and Portugal! Above this, Playa de la Luz has to be one of my all-time favorites, as well!

      Tennis and beach, tennis and beach! Mix in Spanish culture and cuisine, with a really friendly staff, and great views, and 10 stars for me.

      Every room we saw had a balcony or patio. Patios were larger than balconies, fyi, but of course those are all ground floor rooms. Views included, the tennis courts on the northern side, beach/ocean on the southern side, a courtyard on the western side, and the pool / common area for the interior rooms. I can imagine during high season, the outside-facing rooms are quietest, but you will be in the center of all the action if you have the interior view of the pool area.

      Our standard room was spacious by European norms, and absolutely did the job. Our added patio space almost doubled the living area. Bathroom was marble-tiled with a full tub, which was great! Mini-fridge was empty to allow us to store snacks and breakfast.

      Free Wifi with strong connection!!!

      Amenities included several tennis courts, large swimming pool, baby pool, health club, gift shop, and bar / restaurant. Wifi was very strong and a fast connection. We had free parking in a hotel lot just near reception. Room rates were really good during the off-season when we stayed. February temperatures were in the mid-50s, with bright sun.

      You can walk all the way into town via the beach, roads, or the
      Camino Natural de Rota, connecting to the Paseo Marítimo de la Costilla. In the other direction are the Roman fishing corrals, and a park, with great pagodas along more of the Camino Natural de Rota.

      The hotel has a restaurant and bar, but we did not have a room service menu in our room. They did allow us to take drinks back from the bar.

      Reception staff was very friendly and laid back, which was the predominant feel of the club. It had a very relaxed beach resort feel, with beautiful aesthetics and Spanish charm. I would love to go back!

      I had visited this hotel over the years and one thing is stays the same, it feels like home! The Staff is really friendly, the amenities are plenty and the location is outstanding. The hotel is modern and yet it has a historic feel/decor in most areas.

      I got a double bed this time and while I'm not a fan of doubles, it has become the standard in European hotels. The pool and garden areas are always in prestige conditions. The bar and restaurant offer a great selection of products and services with affordable pricing. Unfortunately I haven't been able to utilize the spa services, however it looks very nice with a wide variety of services. This is a great place to stay and relax. The beach is always pretty and kept very clean. One the best hotels to stay at Rota. I'll be back no doubt!

      Way too loud if you are trying to work hotel staff does nothing about it. They are keeping their bar and restaurants open past the Covid curfew also.

      So this was my first time coming here after my deployment. And man I gotta say the view is amazing. It's definitely worthy of that 4-5 star rating. Awesome resort!

      Beds are small and uncomfortable, but the rest of the resort was really nice. Happy hour specials are decent. The chicken Cesar salad was amazing.

      First to Review

      Decided to book this hotel as I had previously stayed here once before. It was during the off season (February time frame) so the hotel was almost completely empty. Located right on the beach, you can exit the hotel property and go for a jog along the beach. There are also several restaurants within walking distance and the downtown area of Rota is only about a mile walk. The hotel staff was very friendly. The room was also just fine (was only in a standard). I had stayed in the upgraded rooms that were much bigger with more space that were quite lovely.
