Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“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).”
