Elegant, warm, relaxing & convenient.

Liked:Loved our stay at El Fuerte. The location is perfect, and the calm, beautiful atmosphere makes you feel on holiday the moment you’re in the hotel. The staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, including with our early check-in and late check-out. Beautiful decor, and we really enjoyed the complimentary activities such as the wine tasting.

Disliked:The only downside was the price for a partial sea-view room, and we found the room layout a little awkward with the bathroom sinks right by the entrance.
