Fantastic Family Beach Hotel in Andalucia
We stayed recently (28 Feb 2011) in the Fuerte Hotel in Conil, Andalucia, Southern Spain and really enjoyed it and wanted to write this recommendation for other families. We had a spacious family room with fantastic views of the beach and could actually hear the waves rolling in. The complex composes of two hotels of the same chain interlinked and just a short walk from the beach, which is one of the best beaches in Spain - over 2 miles long and very wide so there's plenty of room for everyone. Each of the hotels has it's own large outdoor swimming pool with jacuzzi, and there is also a smaller indoor pool. The kids enjoyed the kids club and the 5-a-side football pitch come tennis court playing with all the other kids in the hotel. We had a very friendly waiter, Diego, who even entertained the kids with some magic tricks! A bit of advice for families with push chair, make sure you make this aware in your booking so that you get a room with easy access to the restaurant and pool.
Unique Quality: The hotel had some outstanding characteristics compared to other hotels we have stayed in, such as:
- Our room was very spacious had 2 twin beds and 2 bunk beds, but still had plenty of space.
- The view from our balcony was terrific, it was sheltered and a lovely sun trap.
- We had half board and the evening buffet and the morning breakfast was spectacular, the biggest variety we have ever enjoyed and all good quality. The drinks were extra but not expensive.
- The beach in Conil is very safe for small children because it is shallow, however as you go further into the sea you meet some fantastic waves ideal for boogy boarding and surfing, so everyone is happy.
