  : Loved the beautiful interior courtyards, the gardens and the pool The art and interior decor was interesting.
  : It was a little too formal for me and not particularly comfortable because of this. Our room was disappointing as it overlooked the carpark.

  : Hot shower (but short on water if later in AM) Comfortable bed Cool/dark/quiet room for sleep Beautiful old building Great views over San Sebastian
  : Book breakfast slots (who knows what time theyll wake up for breakfast on holiday) Pool only open 10-1800; very small pool towels which dont cover the lounger (or even half) Restaurant food supposedly the most refined on the island (Lonely Planet). That says more about the rest of the island than the quality in the restaurant. San Sebastian is not a great place for gastronomy Breakfast at 42/couple is >20% room cost which is extortion Need to up coffee game (only one caffeinated sachet, which produced some dirty water; no real milk) Didnt clean used cups or glasses Bad smell in room (like drains)

Disappointing

  : Hotel in the most beautiful setting with lovely gardens and pool. Staff weren't unpleasant but not that helpful. First room small with ridiculously high single beds. Terrible noise behind the wall like a ventilation shaft so had to call night manager for change of room. Better and a double bed. Dining room and bar nice but food disappointing. It's a huge attractive hotel but has no soul. Needs a talented person to manage the whole place. Not good value for the money.

  : I stayed here for five nights - wanted to stay longer, but the property was sold out. During my stay, I left the property only two times. The hotel has beautiful gardens, magnificent views, a beautiful swimming pool, meaning one can meander around, read, write, etc. in quiet. The only real noise is that of the Canary Islands winds and an occasional ship docking at the island's main port below the hotel. My room was on the first floor, just above the main entry cloister, and had a spectacular view of the garden and the sea. Sumptuous buffet breakfast, which was included in my room rate. The dinner menu offers a good choice of local cuisine; prices are appropriate for the property standard. Lovely bar with outdoor or indoor seating. I'm dreaming of returning!
  : As noted by other contributors, there was a slight odor of sewage near my bathroom. I am sure that the hotel is addressing this based on other feedback. In any event, it wasn't so powerful for me to complain to the management.

  : Nice parador with a great view of the Tide.
  : The bath is getting old and should be renovated.

  : - Wonderful view on the ocean from the room - Quite welcoming staff - Very nice vintage touch of the overall location
  : - Management of the swimming pool could be improved by 1) opening in the morning, 2) get easier access to drinks - Some features in the bathroom require repairments - Expensive restaurant

Pleasant

  : courtyard and pool the grandeur of the hotel
  : rooms little tired and felt like a big hotel chain rather than boutique personal one.
