we booked this hotel on the great write ups on Trip adviser. We were Sooooo disapointed. we were given a dark tiny room overlooking dustbins. After some kicking + screaming we did get another room, at least we got sun on the balcony.gymnasium + sauna not open.the pool is really nice, one of the best, also the beach + barlounge, lovely to watch the sea. Where was this great breakfast???omelelettes pre cooked + kept warm, sausages with no meat in them, + good bacon spoiled . food was varied @ dinner but very little English food. this is not my idea of a 4star hotel, had much better over many years of travel + paid less. we requested a late check out room, this was promised but later refused, more rows until we got one for 1hr. reception + barmen speak English but not many of the other staff do so. shops were all a taxi ride away, no English bars at all, a place this big I could not believe this. NEVER again. some guests had paid £160 for sea view but only got one on the 3rd day.

On the beach, free parking, free breakfast, free internet, gorgeous rooms... say no more. Buffet breakfast is one of the best I've seen 9/10

We are a mature couple who stayed at the Reina Isabel in August 2011. We liked many aspects of this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was pleasant and always well-cleaned. The food was excellent. We have only one tip; pay for the upgrade to a sea view. If you do not, you get a balcony that faces a sometimes busy street. Hence the two halves heading;one half has pleasant sea views, the other is not so pleasant. When we were there the Gym was out of order, but ask at Reception and you got a free pass to a Professional set-up called Vico a two minute walk away. Work was being done to make the hotel's own Gym seviceable while we were there. The free Interent access was really useful when we had to come home early following a bereavement and the staff at that time were both helpful and sympathetic. A decent Rioja cost 14 Euros in the restaurant, and yes, Cava and Vodka are available at breakfast! We liked this hotel very much, despite the City view. The double patio doors provided excellent sound insulation from the street, as no sea-view rooms were available.

Really splendid hotel with friendly staff and great location. Breakfast cooked to order English sausages, back bacon and fried eggs together with other food contained in heated receptacles.
Excellent meat dishes every day.

Seventh visit this September 2011.
