Hotel Playa Mondrago

We booked a week at the hotel mainly for its location. The location itself did not disappoint as it is set in a national park but as it is the middle of August, we were not alone. The hotel is old but a grande dame it is not, more like a tired, worn out woman who should be in retirement. My daughter and I booked a superior room but really cannot tell what was superior about it apart from the fact that it was on a higher floor. Actually, being on a higher floor made it worse as it gets hit by the unrelenting sun in the afternoon which makes the room a stifling oven. Although the hotel claims to have air-conditioning, we could not feel it. The whiff that came out of the vent was weaker than a child trying to blow out candles on a birthday cake. After surviving the first night, I promptly asked for a change of room but was only offered a fan. For the rest of the stay, our nights were spent sweating on the beds and air dried. The rest of the room needs no mentioning as there really was nothing worth a mention - just think of an old (as opposed to a youth) hostel. One thing that struck me was the timeline proudly displayed on a wall of the hotel - it started in 1964 and stopped at 2014 which says it all really. I believe it still has potential and with some serious upgrading of facilities, the lady can be revived.

We came for only 4 days for my partner's birthday. We were treated without respect by the staff member. She spoke almost no English. Screaming, aggressive, rude never seen behaviour like that. I complained in the reception, however, no apology or change came from that. When you are coming on holiday, a hotel that constantly lacks coffee or juice for breakfast would be already irritating, however, staff that does not speak English and is rude and aggressive is something that should never disturb your holidays. I do not recommend it! Avoid at all cost

Hotel Playa Mondrago is a wonderful hotel. Fabulous location with many rooms having glorious beach views. The rooms have been refurbished and are looking really good. Excellent restaurant and very friendly team who genuinely care and nothing is too much. Once you get here you can’t be bothered moving unless it’s the 20 meters or so the beach or a visit to the excellent beach restaurant and bar. Hard to believe it only receives a 3 star rating as it has everything you need for really great holiday. Also worth mentioning a well timed local bus service if you really must leave the hotel. We are already planning our next visit. Congratulations Juan and the Mondrago team for making your brilliant hotel even better

Very good location! Very quiet and peaceful area…Sea view room, clean and top class, beautiful beach, staff very friendly and helpful. Nice swimming pool, good breakfast, hotels restaurant and bar…We arrived during covid restrictions and wasn’t any night entertainment but it wasn’t what we looking for. Unforgettable memories! Highly recommend.

This charming hotel is a real find, combining a warm and friendly family atmosphere, a stunningly beautiful location a few minutes walk from three gorgeous natural beaches with no development thanks to being in a nature reserve, and simple yet delicious food. Highly recommended. We wish we had been able to stay for longer.

This hotel is a straightforward, unpretentious delight to stay in. The room was clean and had all we wanted for our short stay and the chance to explore the wonderful beaches and reserve nearby. Nothing flash here but it’s relaxed and really well placed. I had some of the nicest plain grilled fish I’ve ever eaten. Really fresh and tasty and, like the hotel, unfussy. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and one staff member went completely over and above after we left something in our room. Top spot. Thank you.

Stanze un po datate. Gabinetto instabile. Colazione nella media vista piscina. Molto vicino alla spiaggia e alla riserva. Accanto alla fermata bus. Cena abbastanza buona. Personale molto gentile. Rapporto qualità prezzo non ottimale perché stanze alquanto datate e con aria condizionata flebile. Sconsiglo

Habitaciones sucias, poca ayuda y resolucion de problemas, cocina y zonas comunes mas de lo mismo, muy dejados, y personal antipatico, destaco al que parecia el encargado, desentendiéndose de todo y derivando los problemas a otros, fatal, lo unico bueno la playa, el hotel, de los peores en los que hemos estado

Gerne würde ich diesem mit Einsatz geführten Hotel die volle Punktzahl geben, denn Lage und Instandhaltung dieses Traditionshauses sind ausgezeichnet, die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen auf gutem Niveau. Zudem war mein Zimmer im dritten Stock blitzsauber, dem neusten Standort entsprechend und hell. Leider gibt es eine Einschränkung, die mich erheblich gestört hat. Damit bin ich vermutlich auch nicht allein: Die Tische fürs Frühstück (fürs Abendessen kann ich es nicht beurteilen) werden zugeteilt und bleiben während der Dauer des Aufenthalts immer die selben. Ich kann nur mutmaßen, nach welchen Kriterien die Tische auf der Veranda vergeben werden und tippe dabei auf das Kriterium „Stammgäste“. Das mag teilweise verständlich sein, angenehm ist es nicht. Vor allem nicht, wenn man als Gast im wenig attraktiven Innenbereich mitbekommt, wie andere Gäste von der zuständigen Dame begrüßt werden: „Nein, sie dürfen natürlich draußen sitzen.“ (spanische Version). Das wirkt diskriminierend und unlogisch. Warum sollte ich mir um Viertel nach Acht am Morgen nicht einen Tisch aussuchen dürfen, der gleich im Anschluss für länger schlafende Gäste neu gedeckt wird? Generell ist das Frühstück nicht auf dem Niveau, wie ich es für diese Preisklasse gewohnt bin. Schade, zwei Einschränkungen, die leicht vermeidbar wären.
