“If you are looking for relaxation this is the ideal place. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, the food is tasty and excellent service & cleanliness too. Its a hotel who caters mostly for gay couples, but a hetorsexual couple can enjoy too like I did with my man if you are open minded.”

“On the positive side lovely area and location with amazing views. All the members of staff ( catering, reception, cleaning … ) are great, very helpful and professional. On the negative side ( and this is aimed to Ritual management ) the facilities need refurbishing ( rooms and swimming pool ). It is a shame that they do not take this into consideration because it would make the stay a perfect experience.”

“Great views of El Palmar beach from the mountains. Vejer de la Frontera is worth visiting if you want to go for a stroll. Hotel staff always willing to help in a professional and friendly way. Rooms are one their best assets as they are fully refurbished in a contemporary way, integrating the whole building with the landscape. Pool not so big but cool (sea water).”
