Cortijo San Ignacio Golf

  : Nestled amongst the ruins of an abandoned golf course, surrounded by a glib landscape of construction sites, towerblocks, and , towards the sea, a large, big-box shopping complex served by a multi-lanes highway, El Cortijo appears as an uncertain oasis in an otherwise post apocalyptic setting.The hotel compound is, by itself, a delight : a faded glory celebrating the architectural heritage of the island, replete with numerous historical features, lush greenery and a pleasant, leafy alley. The pool area is also particularly enjoyable, clean and well maintained.And yet, an uneasy feeling soon sipped in. The rooms we were allocated are part of an adjacent building christened la casita, a converted dependence to the main building - think here service area rather than historical grandeur. Our rooms had the charm and matching size of those of a budget hotel, and none of the facilities one can reasonably expect of a four star accommodation. The furnishings are basic, with no double bed, an old tv with two channels, no air conditioning, and not even a extraction fan in the bathroom (a moist and musky smell thus lingers). There is also no room service, no telephone, no minibar, and not even a mosquito net on the sole window of the room - don t make the mistake of opening it at night.Hotel wide, there are no restaurant, and no bar, saved for a bring-your-own, service kitchen next to the pool where guests can store their own food and drinks in a regular domestic fridge, and where a capsule of nespresso, kindly provided by the hotel, will set you aback 2.50 euros if you dare to make it yourself.This all contribute to confere to El Cortijo the jolly ambience of a French camping municipal, where guests gleefully eat sandwiches by the pool, prepared from delicacies sourced from the local hiperdino.Not that all of this matter to us in the slightest.

  : Nicely laid out breakfast, most of what anybody is likely to want provided
  : Very isolated location, as no restaurant or meals offered very awkward for meals

  : The hotel is a very unique oasis of Spanish colonial charm. It has a lovely garden and swimming pool. The rooms are a bit dated and there is no access to a bar or food. It was slightly overpriced given the lack of facilities. Staff were very good.
  : The hotel has great potential but it is in an area with no restaurants within walking distance.

  : The property has this old rich money vibe. The pool and the view is nice. Good for photoshoot. The garden is nice as well. The breakfast is average but the croissant is nice.
  : The place is kinda secluded but if you need a taxi they will provide one for you. Not a walking distance to the main road. When we arrived at night, my boyfriend got scared because he saw the cross in the main gate. We opened the window at night and mosquitoes came in. Its given since its a farm house but annoying so we closed it again.

  : Very nice and cozy hotel with atmosphere from beginning of 20th century. Old family farm with authentic doors, inner yard, palm trees. Very nice pool area, where you can enjoy evening/night with wine or beer. During, hot days there is option that you have sunbath or stay in shade. Free car parking.
  : The only thing that can be a minus, is that there is no public transport or to be precise its rather far from hotel.
