My husband and I were traveling along the Algarve coast of Portugal and decided to spend a night in this "fancy" 5-star hotel just over the border in Spain. It was expensive but we decided to splurge for one night. The outside was beautiful, as were the lobby and pool area, but the room was a big disappointment. No double... More

First of all, Isla Cristina is not fun or a beutiful place at all, but, for me it was no problem because I went to Isla Cristina Palace, a 5 stars Hotel to enjoy the hotel it self. The hotel is quite new or well maintened. The rooms are good and spacious, but a 5 stars hotel is not meant... More

Stayed for a week on half Board.

The pool was large and clean though rather cold and the beach had soft sand. We enjoyed the walk through the pines to the beach. We have no... More

We stayed at this hotel, not long after it opened. The rooms are gorgoeus and the bathroom was huge. Big enough for 4 people in the shower! The food was excellent. Breakfast, there was a huge assortment to choose from, and the evening meal, was fantastic. There was a sushi chef, huge amounts of prawns and other seafood as well... More

We stayed at the Isla Cristina Palace for a week last June. It is a beautiful hotel - room was gorgeous with spacious balcony attached, food was excellent and outdoor poolside area very relaxing, but as a couple in our mid-twenties we did feel very out of place, as most of the guests were in their mid-fifties and over, and...
