HOSTAL LA CIGUEÑA

This bar is awful! The noise goes on until the early hours of the morning, 2am, 3am and they don’t give a damn. All the hotels in the area have to suffer the noise from non descript music blasting away. Customers, loud ones, sit on outside walls keeping everyone awake in the area! It should have a curfew at midnight latest!

Myself and my partner go to Portinatx 2/3 times every year and have stayed at this hotel on multiple occasions. On this occasion it was a very good experience bar one or two housekeeping issues. I wanted to leave this review particularly due to the great service and bubbliness of Belén who was absolutely fantastic. Literally the happiest and politest staff member i've seen. Thanks for making the experience great.

We have been coming to this hotel since 1999, not every year but very regularly until Covid; this visit was our third postponement and we could not wait! We were welcomed back by the owners and also the hotel staff, many of whom have been there since our very first visit. The proportion of returning guests is exceptionally high and deservedly so. We stayed in a first floor terrace room, always our preference. All the rooms are a very good size and the wardrobe/storage area is the largest we have ever seen, far exceeding that in several four and five star hotels we have stayed in. Also walk-in showers. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the location right on the beach cannot be beaten. We are not beach people but there is a small pool too, though I like the terrace best for sunbathing and people-watching! Residents are on a half board basis, the breakfast buffet is a very good way to start the day, we were welcomed by Loli who we first met back in 1999. She loves her work and was so pleased to see things getting “back to normal”. There is an evening buffet. The standard can vary but you are sure to find something to suit and it is good value. Or for a change try the a la carte menu - the food range has dramatically expanded since our last visit in 2018 as the nearby Chinese restaurant is permanently closed and the chef has joined the team at La Ciguenya. The food quality was excellent; there is a Thai menu, too, as well as the traditional Spanish and international choices such as pizza. The restaurant is also well-used by locals and holidaymakers staying elsewhere. The waiting and bar staff were lovely; Natalia the delightful head waitress has been there for 6 years; she and Kendy are very friendly and were happy to help me with my newly learnt Spanish and so did Loli.

Realmente acogedor, el personal es muy amable y dispuesto a ayudarte en todo. Te facilitan habitación de cortesia el dia del check out. Tienen un restaurant sencillo però con buen producto. La calidad/precio es de 11/10 porque ha superado las expectativas
