As soon as we got out of the car and into the hotel, we felt ourselves relax and our holiday truly start. We were a bit concerned about the hotel being on the road however you don't notice it when in the back garden which has a gorgeous canopied outdoor dining area, big pool, tennis court and wildlife. Our young... More

We have been here a few times with our kids and is a good base to stay in the area of Tarifa. I just wish the car exit/entrance to the hotel on to the highway wasn't so suicidal: with a car full of kids you need to drive slowly in and out of the car park . Need a few... More

This is the sister to the Hurricane Hotel, where we have also stayed. Although the Hurricane has a beach setting, the Punta Sur beats it hands down on every other aspect. Set in beautiful green gardens and very spaciious all around, the staff are really friendly and helpful without being constantly in your face. It is really genuinely "laid back"... More

Having read the previous reviews before going I was quite looking forward to staying here. We were travelling with a number of Spanish friends who had stayed here previous and spoke well about it but what a disappointment. From arrival, where the receptionist was sitting at the bar drinking to the damp room and bed sheets this place is not... More

We booked in here for one night last minute in August 2010, which means we probably paid over the odds for our room - lesson learnt! Having said that, although I dont think its worth what we paid we were very pleasantly surprised. It has a fantastic pool area and the rooms are really lovely. We had dinner there that... More

Cannot comment on the hotel, as we did not stay at Punta Sur, but judging by the meal we had there I would NEVER stay there. Dinner was absolutely third rate. As a starter I had the Spring rolls: Two anaemic looking rolls with some stuff (difficult to describe what it was) inside. All this on a huge bed of... More

Just back from our fourth and best stay here. We had a wonderfully relaxing week here, the Punta Sur is just such an ideal blend of laid backness and wonderful service. The pool remains fabulous, the rooms extremely spacious and for the first time we ate in the restaurant. The food is lovely and the service friendly and amazingly efficient.... More

With my friend visiting me in Gibraltar from the UK we wanted to get away from the Rock for a few days and were lucky enough to get a cancellation at Punta Sur. I'd been to the Hurricane (sister hotel) down the road many times for lunch and to enjoy the surroundings but did not know the Punta Sur. I'm... More

My wife and I stayed at the Punta Sur for only one night. The room was very spacious with a good bed and nice bathroom, only it felt like we were the first ones to stay there for the summer so it was extremely damp and musty smelling when we arrived. We also noticed many spider webs around the room... More
