Hotel Montemar

Overall the hotel is average mid-range with no minibar, which is a "must" for a hotel this category. Old doors everywhere, sofas in the room look worn an dirty, breakfast is overall very good. Tiny area for breakfast: people were standing in line (not enough tables). So, make sure you get there as soon as they open. Not enough solid soap (just a tiny average soap for the entire stay), besides there's 2 boxes full of liquid soap. Above average quality, but still, a hotel this high-priced should provide quality solid soaps. They did add 1 single tiny bottle of body lotion (for the entire stay or 3 nights!). Nice and comfy bed, chairs and tables to put your things on, overall very clean room and bathroom. Spacious room, plenty o plugs for recharging electronics. Good TV, but merely Spanish channels. Noisy cleaning lady kept bothering me by entering the room - no way to close the room, there is no special lock. Can be opened from outside by staff easily. Staff doesn't knock when they enter, they just ram through. There is a small bar (I think on the 6th floor with a somewhat obscured view towards the beach) and another one downstairs at the entrance with delicious trendy cocktails. The bartender at the 6th floor is a very kind guy who makes high quality cocktails (no kidding, much better than in the city!). The views are great and the prices are low. The lack of a minibar in the room is the main downside, as is the lack of an internal door-locking mechanism.

Great location and a fantastic family run feel about it. Clean, perfect for our long weekend jam packed break. Fantastic cocktail bar. Very accommodating staff.
