Excellent modern hotel, five mins walk to town centre,where very few people speak English.Great for holiday experience. Staff could not be more helpfull,Rooms spacious and very clean.Buffet food at all meals,Always plenty of choice and quantity and well presented.

We stayed at this hotel 09 October 2008 for 7 nights.
If you want on holiday english owned bars and newspapers then Adra isn't for you. If on the other hand you want to sample Spanish living and test your language skills then give Adra a try.
The hotel is situated on the promenade and approximately 10 mins walk from the shops in Adra. Large supermarket 100 yards from the hotel for bottled water etc.The Mirador is used equally by Spanish families and tourists. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. Bedrooms have a sea view and were cleaned every day. Bathroom equipped with hair dryer, shampoo's etc. Sky news on the tele if you want to keep up with the news back home. Excellent english & continental breakfast which even includes black pudding! Dinner is served from 7.30pm and majority of guests attend at that time. In our party were three generations and we had no problems satisfying all our appetites. The hotel has a well equipped gym and indoor pool which guests can use free of charge. No problems with sun beds or chairs round the pool. If you are looking for a small hotel to chill out then we would recommend the Barcelo Mirador de Adra

At last a Spanish Hotel, with Spanish speaking staff and most of the guests Spanish - here we could brush up our language skills.
Very relaxed hotel most guest don't get up before 9am, no Germans, so, no towels on sun beds, you could get a sun bed and mattress by the pool any time of day!!
Good indoor gym and small indoor pool.
Very good breakfast, dinner could be variable depending on which chef was working, but we found staff polite and would get you something if not available or food had gone cold.

All rooms face the sea, some balconies smallish, rooms could have been cleaner but on the whole we thoroughly enjoyed staying here, because of the Spanish people and the town is also very typical with good Tapas bars.

Having spent the previous night in Ronda we traveled towards Almeria for our last two nights. We chose the hotel for its 4 stars and its Spa facilities and checked that they were in order before we booked online. It was dreadful when we arrived. No English was spoken by the young lady who greeted us, when we got up to our room I found the bathroom not cleaned properly! Need I say more on that note. We hurried down to the indoor pool and jacuzi to relax. That was foolish, both were so cold we left sharpish. To then be told by Reception that they were having maintenance difficulties! For dinner, Adra is pointless to try and look. There is one place other than the restaurant and that served greasy food! The hotel restaurant on the second night was serving food that had appeared at breakfast that morning and the service was very poor. The area in and around Adra is filled with polly tunnells. I now know where my food from Spain is brought on in and that was an education. Personally we would go anywhere else but this hotel in this town.
