Reviews for Beach Hotel Dos Mares

Review 1：Reception staff very polite and effecient. Room clean and had small fridge (kettle would have been a bonus). View from room spectacular. Breakfast had everything. Cant wait to stay again.

Review 2：The hotel decoration and concept was very unique, the ambience was great, natural surrounding was also great. We found the restaurant and the quality of food and service was excellent

Review 3：We were supposed to have a superior room with facilities for lounging other than a bed to sit on.This room was located down several flights of steps and situated in a very dark area. We complained and they moved us to a better room, however, we were told we would have to move out during our stay to accommodate a family over the new year, this was not acceptable to us, my wife is recovering from a heart attack and the stress of this was too much. For this reason we checked out after one day. This facility is more suited to young couples who are more sport orientated than for elderly couples.

Review 4：The staff were very good to us when we arrived. The food we had was good and wholesome. However we were not there long enough to assess the hotel to it's potential.

Review 5：Smell as entered room, bathroom poorly lit and mirror chipped, walls uneven, marks on ceiling , lack of welcome on arrival

Review 6：Location and balcony with sea- view , bed , tennis court, shower

Review 7：Sad that there were so many of the good restaurants in Tarifa that were closed for the winter.

Review 8：Location - excellent as we were here for the climbing at San Bartolo. The food at the hotel was very good - we ate two dinners at Dos Mares

Review 9：Unfortunately the weather was bad, rain and storm but that didn't hamper us from walking on the beach the moment the sun came through the clouds.......

Review 10：Peace and tranquillity. Location amazing and the views, well everything we expected and more.

Review 11：Mosquitos but that's not really the hotels fault

Review 12：Excellent location close to beach and restaurant food was excellent. Shower in room was really good

Review 13：No bad experiences.

Review 14：All the staff were very friendly and Eva on reception extremely so. This hotel is located in a fabulous location on the beach just a mile or so from central Terifa. The accommodation is very clean and unique in that it has outside bungalows you can stay in.

Review 15：A little too expensive for the quality of the facility.

Review 16：Great beach location. We had a very nice meal in the restaurant. The horse riding place next door is excellent,

Review 17：The evening restaurant had a terrible menu and was overpriced. We had to eat there twice and did not enjoy the meal at all. Luckily some of our party had hired cars so we went elsewhere to eat in the evening or had a big meal in the cafe but it had to be before six o clock which was a bit early. Everyone in our party agreed with me about the evening restaurant.

Review 18：The hotel was beautiful and the receptionist called Eva was really helpful and lovely. The cafe had lovely food.

Review 19：Very shabby furniture. Service in bar & restaurant not good. Damp musty smell in the room.

Review 20：The location was great. Loved the little bungalow we had. Plenty of parking.

Review 21：The only disadvantage we could find is that there is no supermarket close to the hotel (but thee are plenty in Tarifa)

Review 22：Nice bungalows, a lot of trees and plants and the big beach is nearby.

Review 23：I was charged €40 per night for a bed for my two year old, which extortionate. The other places we stayed on this trip made no charge.

Review 24：The location is fantastic.

Review 25：No tea and coffee making facilities in the bungalow. In an end bungalow and there was a slight sewerage smell. Not the horse stables

Review 26：Relaxed ambience and friendly staff

Review 27：Parking is a little tight - not sure how this could be improved.

Review 28：The location is great/beautiful. We really enjoyed the bungalows and the layout. Really enjoyed having breakfast with the expanse of the beach/ocean in front of us. Onyl stayed a night but plan on going back some time for a 2-4 night stay to enjoy all the amentities.

Review 29：The room was very dated, furniture very old, we could feel bed springs, it really looked like a cabin in the woods , there was no door to the bathroom,... Which all would have been fine if price was reflecting this. But price was more expensive than 5 star hotel we stayed in Seville the night before!

Review 30：Location right at the beach, kiteboarding rental at hotel

Review 31：Disappointing room that is not worth the money. Dated decor, and many things not working: bedside light, shower door, electric socket. Entrance door was a struggle every time you wanted to get in or out. Strange layout (wardrobe and sofa randomly located in the bathroom). I wouldn't have minded any of this for a B&B price, but for what I paid, I expect a degree of luxury - there was none.

Review 32：Beach location, friendly staff

Review 33：Very thin door to the room, you could hear everything from the outside. Our only window was behind some bushes behind the parking... Not nice! Lack of information of what is going on around Tarifa, only weather info on a screen. Not very helpful for finding out either... Gym in very bad condition.

Review 34：Location, location! And decor, atmosphere.

Review 35：Advertised BBC world service ..in fact no TV at all...couldn't get any channels except Moroco...reported it first day ..not fixed by the time we left No coffee making facilities...at this price should have been provided Safe not working

Review 36：closeness to the beach and the breakfast area

Review 37：May be could do with modernising. Wi-fi not available in room.

Review 38：5* location close to beach excellent. Laid back, friendly atmosphere. Privacy of bungalow room with fantastic sea views. Very clean room - had all the essentials. Restaurant food was good.

Review 39：The room had a fantastic view but, for some, the rooms in general and ours in particular, were difficult/very difficult to access with narrow steep stairs...great pity as otherwise we had a fantastic time.

Review 40：Location and willingness to help

Review 41：Breakfast not aligned with rest of the hotel. Personnel could and should smile more.

Review 42：Incredible location in a wonderful beach, nice chill out atmosphere.

Review 43：Unfortunately, the weather was cool and wet. making it uncomfortable for touring on foot.

Review 44：The Proprietor and staff were warm and welcoming, A very Charming and Romantic get a way with in a very old world of culture

Review 45：Mix up in accommodation plus we didn't have hot water in bungalow #1 on that second visit and staff were very "oops, sorry". Nothing was done!

Review 46：Location, grounds, beach and views! Breakfast was tasty and your restaurant staff were charming!

Review 47：This hotel is not set up for bad weather! The room was cold and damp with minimal heating, so difficult to keep warm and no way to get clothes dry. The torrential rain during our stay flooded parts of the site making access difficult. The customer service was variable - sometimes very good and sometimes off hand. The food was not good either.

Review 48：A fantastic location by the beach looking to Africa. Good room.

Review 49：Worst breakfast ever. Position of hotel wins as I windsurf but I could nt take my partner. She would not eat the breakfast. Me barely. Please improve to make this a wonder destination !!!

Review 50：Great for Windsurfing and Kiting

Review 51：Great location and atmosphere, staff helpful and happy, tennis court was the highlight for us also. Been many times for the day but first time to stay, even met the cleaner who was lovely too. Lovely breakfast and terraces and music etc.

Review 52：I couldn't stay longer! There is little to not like, a very enjoyable few days.

Review 53：The staff were extremely courteous and helpful from the moment we arrived.

Review 54：Beeakfast not as good as usual, had to keep asking for hot food, no orange juice and only a small amount of fruit, poor in comparison to normal.

Review 55：Staff always friendly, despite only speaking poor spanish.

Review 56：The staff were very helpful and friendly, the room we had was overlooking the beach and very well appointed. Free use of safe, not that we felt we needed it, fridge in room, loads of storage space, nice bathroom with lovely shower. Breakfast was also very good. The location is stunning and we will definately return to this hotel.

Review 57：Breakfast very poor. Hurricane hotel up the beach where it is more rocky but has magnificent food and surroundings.

Review 58：On the beach for walking watersports etc Delux bungalow spacious with big bed with own patio balcony overlooking beach and Morocco.

Review 59：Beautiful walks on the beach and convenient parking. The restaurant was very good and the breakfast included was excellent. The hotel and surrounding areas were very clean and tidy. Very close to Tanger by boat.

Review 60：The bungalows are clean, spacious and right next to the beach which is simply perfect to travel with our dog. We come regularly and love the place more and more each time.

Review 61：The WiFi internet was really slow and spotty. The hot water of the shower also ran out really fast, leaving both of us suddenly with cold soap running into our eyes.

Review 62：The spectacular views from the bungalows were incredible! The location is amazing, directly between Cadiz and Tarifa. Not to mention the huge king-sized bed was so comfortable, we really didn't want to leave!

Review 63：Wifi was a bit hit and miss but it served it's purpose, very minor niggle!

Review 64：The location, beach room no 15 was amazing for watching the sunset, the staff were all very accomodating and cheerfull, even working xmas and Boxing day!, the food was very good and the log burning fireplace was great in the bar, which was very tastefully decorated for the Christmas season. Best Christmas for a long time.

Review 65：nothing, we had really bad weather, but that is not the fault of the hotel.

Review 66：Literally on the beach, fantastic lotation, comfortable apartmant (we took the superior apartman), excellent breakfast, nice staff. You need a car to get there. Several facilities.

Review 67：Many of the rooms look onto the car park so for the best experience there's a supplement for a sea view. Overpriced.

Review 68：Location - right on the beach. Very peaceful, good breakfast, facilities at the hotel. Only stayed for 2 nights and would have been nice to use the facilities more.

Review 69：I made this booking on the basis that i had booked the suite showed on the photos provided by yourselves however upon arrival was not the same one and we did not have a terrace which is one of the main reasons we booked the one on the photo at the time ofbooking. Was quite dissapointed.

Review 70：The beach so near and horse riding on the beach nearby.

Review 71：Nothing to dislike

Review 72：Here you get the Atlantic ocean all to yourself and the views are stunning, uncluttered by the usual resort paraphenalia. The hotel is beautifully situated with kite/surf/horse riding available on site. Loved it

Review 73：a bit expensive if you compare to all the other hostals & hotels arround

Review 74：solid bungalows friendly stuff nice & sporty people nice beachbar the best view over the beach nice windsurf & kitesurf school

Review 75：I was travelling alone, and of course had to pay for a double room. Nice big room, but no view and I could hear the traffic from the road, close by. There was a table and chairs in front of my room, but the only view was of a big hedge a couple of feet away!

Review 76：I loved the fact that the hotel is right ON the beach. I needed time to relax and laze in the sun, and that's exactly what I did. I was able to get into delightful Tarifa Old Town easily by taxi. I found the staff kind and helpful.

Review 77：On arriving the receptionists were probably the least welcoming I have ever come across in a hotel anywhere. Not a smile, not a "hola buenos dias" nada!

Review 78：Location on the beach

Review 79：Reception and chiringuito staff lack basic customer service skills. Examples. Difficulty in getting fried egg with hamburger and having to pay €4.50 for it! Reception made mistake with bill - no apology. Paid the bill - no thank you.

Review 80：Location - beachside and close to Tarifa town. Suite - charming. Nespresso a nice touch. Restaurant menu and service - excellent staff.

Review 81：We thought we had booked a proper hotel room (130 euros is not cheap in Spain) but Reception told us that we had booked a bungalow and that was that! So we ended up in a wooden bungalow right next to the horse stables by the beach, which felt like we were camping! Being almost on the beach the bungalow was damp - we had to run the AC all night to keep the air dry, which gave me a sore throat - and being so near the horses we had smells all day and thumps and neighing noises all night. Not a great experience for 130 euros. To be fair, most of the bungalows seem to be brick built, and their location is better because they are further from the beach and the stables. The only other difficulty was finding a place to swim on the huge beach, because there were hundreds of kite surfers using it. Admittedly there was a major kite surf competition in progress that week, so I suppose that it will be quieter at other times.

Review 82：The hotel's beach-side location was excellent. Drivers be careful when turning around on the main road if coming from the direction of Tarifa town - there is a turning point 100 metres but it's quite stressful to use if the traffic is heavy. The restaurant and pool were great too, and the beach is huge and glorious - but overwhelmed by kite surfers to the point that you can hardly swim.

Review 83：There is no room-service, so a small fridge would be nice to be able to chill a few bottles of water.

Review 84：Lovely, relaxing atmosphere, close to the beach, we had a cute bungalow with big windows and our own terrace.

Review 85：The room was very cold and the heating system was not very good

Review 86：The location was great. Great place to see sunset
