We stayed here for a last minute long weekend in early May but have vowed to return. The outside of the Don Carlos is a horrible concrete tower which looks as if it would be more at home in downtown Benidorm and as we drove up our hearts sank. We shouldn't have worried.

We booked a romantic break for 5 days - On arrival we were informed that many of the hotel facilities would be closed to us (including pool and poolside restuarant) as they were hosting a conference for 800 people over 4 days of out stay.

Great holiday. Beautiful Redtaurants within the hotel. Very friendly helpful staff. Only criticism limited bar food and not great value for money unlike breakfast and evening restaurants on hotel grounds.
