Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

If you want the perfect Mediterranean view . This is it . Food was great and reasonable priced against other restaurants in the area which was unexpected given the location . My husbands eyes glazed over at the quality of the beer . He loves...his IPAs and he said the house beer was betterMore

Three pools with water therapy circuits, one cold plunge pool, one huge hot tub, 2 dry saunas and 2 steam rooms. Make sure you hit them all! This is a typical utilitarian European spa, so if you are expecting the Ritz Carlton it might not...be the spot for you. Otherwise, expect a clean relaxing spa with beautiful views. Two hours will do you.More

A good place for drinks on the terrace overlooking the beach. Had consistently good drinks both times. Not a huge food selection and quality was spotty. Patatas bravas were perfect the first day and so bad we returned them the second day.More

Food, wine, service, value for money, location, courtesy, demeanour all excellent. £80 for the two of us: appetiser, three courses from seasonal set menu, wine, water, delicious bread rolls x3, coffee and service. Including the best ever chocolate tart. And plentiful smiles which we’ve found...hard to come by in this otherwise beautiful resort. View from the restaurant’s terrace today.More

I had a wonderful dinner on the terrace, overlooking the beach. The cold soup, salmorejo, was delicious and the two hot tapas that followed were elegantly prepared and more than enough for a full meal. A nice chocolate dessert completed the dinner. Modestly prized, too....Highly recommended.More

We passed La Perla so decided to pop in for some wine and pintxos. Having read some other reviews, our experience didn't reflect the experiences of those reviewers. Admittedly, one server was rude just as we entered but once sat down, service was friendly and...fairly efficient. We had an excellent table in the shade overlooking La Concha Bay. A very pleasant bottle of white wine was served and we decided to sample pintxos sized portions of the 'slow cooked egg with bacon and chips; 'chicken with fried onions' and 'steak with foie gras and beef jus'. All of these were very good and for 37 Euros we were pleasantly full and had a very satisfying lunch. I would happily return.More

Visited the outside bar terrace for a drink on two occasions. Cannot fault the location as its truly stunning overlooking the beach. We were looking forward to a relaxed drink but unfortunately the sullen attitude of the serving staff spoilt our visit. Not a smile,...or a hello or even eye contact! We went a second time to give the place a chance as it really is a stylish bar, but on both occasions they acted as if they were doing us a favour by serving us! Maybe we just hit them on a couple of off days but for us the service was so unwelcoming that we changed our minds about a third visit to try the food in the restaurant ....a real shame!More
