El Cortijo de Zahara by QHotels

Despite disappointing weather we enjoyed our stay at el Cortijo de Zahara. The shower was pretty hopeless as it kept switching from hot to cold when in use. Also one of the power sockets above the desk wasn’t working. However the staff were friendly and helpful.

I have been traveling to Andalusia and staying at the Hotel El Cortijo de Zahara for years. The hotel is a beautiful and peaceful property. The rooms are equipped with everything you need and have good amenities. The breakfast buffet is very generous and always fresh. The stunning beach is just a few minutes’ walk away. The staff is attentive and customer-oriented. Unfortunately, the mattresses are too firm, and an additional soft pillow would be desirable. Overall, however, it’s a real gem and highly recommended.

Lovely hotel in a fabulous location. Staff very friendly, food great. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. watching glorious sunsets from the sky bar was a real highlight. Highly recommended. We will be back. Only suggestion is that it would be good to have one bar open later than 9pm !

The hotel is wonderful and very peaceful, its near the beach and also has various pools. The staff are excellent, very attentive and friendly, yet very professional. The hotel is of a very good standard and even though the hotel was full you didn't have a problem in getting sun loungers or pool beds. We were a group of 11, including adults and children of different ages and we all enjoyed our stay. the only reason I've given a rating of 4 instead of 5 is that the half board dinner was of very limited choice. What was available was ok but some days we had to order of the a la carte menu as the choice was so limited.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! STAY AT MELIA NEXT DOOR!! I usually don’t write reviews but the experience was so bad I couldn’t keep it to myself. I booked a junior suite but instead they gave us a regular double room. We complained to the manager and they said that there was nothing wrong, that it was the same room category etc. The staff couldn’t care less and they were quite rude. Basically they just charged me double price for a standard room ( I know because I was traveling with friends and they paid half of the price for the very same room, we were next to each other and according to management we had premium view, hence the 100€ extra.. that’s ridiculous!) Anyway, the service is really poor, the food is horrible and the rooms are really really basic. I have attached the pictures where I thought I would stay and then the real ones. There is a BIG difference! Re the room, the bed is horrible, is small and really hard mattress, they only give you 2 pillows no coffee machine no mini bar NOTHING! Definitely not a “junior suite” standard… I hope you follow my advice and stay somewhere else, seriously this place only worths 10€ per night

A great hotel in a great location. Staff were amazing and polite. Breakfast was plentiful and all that you could ask for. Beautiful beaches and local town is very pretty with restaurants you have to try!
