Gran Hotel Rey Don Jaime

Beautiful hotel. Great service. Everyone is extremely helpful and kind. Hard pass on the food at the bar. Don’t know about the food at the restaurant. The breakfast is available at an extra price and the price varies based on where you book your reservation so shop around. Breakfast was good. The views are spectacular and the hotel itself located a very short drive from the beach and a million restaurants and shopping malls as well. The beach is clean and huge. Also there’s a spa with a steam and a sauna and a warm indoor pool. Again great service there as well. Got a facial with my son. We loved it. Only downside is that the hotel hosts events and celebrations and.. they’re outside so if you’re a light sleeper, bring some earplugs.

Gorgeous views… but bring your hiking shoes and low expectations for lunch. The suite was minimalist and serene — lovely to look at, but missing the basics (no water, no coffee, not even a welcome fruit basket). The restaurant? Think conference chaos meets Boxing Day sale. We were gently herded to the bar, where the now-infamous club sandwich arrived — dry, joyless, and a bit tragic given we’re in Spain, land of jamón dreams. Lovely setting overall, but it feels like the hotel was built for big groups… not the lone couple trying to find a quiet meal and a croquette with sauce.

Instant regret booking this hotel. 30 minutes from the beach, definitely not "on the beach" or great location from it. Isolated on the hill with no food after 10PM, told to order Uber eats. Front desk staff was rude on check-in. Rooms are not easily accessible to those with mobility issues as there are a few steps down to the rooms corridor. Carpet in the room is terrifying. TV has only basic local cable and they locked out the ability to change the language.
