Alborán Algeciras

This is a lovely hotel…. Sp pretty with columns and alcoves. For the first night I booked dinner B&B….. the food was delicious! Dinner was 5 courses but included the best Broccoli au Gratin I ever tasted and included a glass of red wine. I expected the wine to be tough but it was actually very good! I did not try the open air swimming pool but in this heat it was an option … nearby beach was crowded and with fascinating container port nearby I found it hard to believe the water was bathing quality! 8€ taxi ride from bus station. Staff were unfailingly helpful and courteous. Next time I will ask for a room with a mountain-view. I stayed a second night … trip charged me a higher price? I also took their Day Excursion to Morocco…€72 but add on €40 for tips! It included return ferry, transport, guide and Moroccan lunch ( delicious) … driver, his friend, guide and me on a 32 seater bus! Obligatory “buy a carpet” talk at “craft school” ( Omg I bought a carpet!) … hold out for the trinkets shop on the way out!!! 4 hours to get back through customs … queues…. But it was fascinating v and an unexpected glimpse into border mentality. 4 layers … Moroccan military check, Moroccan police check, Spanish police check and Covid certificate check and final layer …. Spanish guards emptying and checking every car and finding something to throw away from everyone!!!! Two days feels like a wonderful week!

酒店位於高速口附近，出行方便，院裏免費停車。不知什麼原因，中國客人挺多。距離塔裏法海濱有二十多公里的山路，我們去塔裏法玩太陽快落山，回酒店時就成了夜間盤山路。

Nice hotel in Algeciras. Placed very near a round-about , so maybe not the best area for a hotel. But within reach of the city if you want to walk about 30 min. I used taxi. Very good meny in the restaurant with very tasty meals. Breakfast buffet not more than ok. I was on a business trip, so the tendency is to get a separate meny when on a work trip. This meny has much less to select from, so I normally choose the main menu. Very pleasant staff, both in the reception and in the restaurant. All in all a nice stay.

I had an absolutely amazing time at Alboran Algeciras. The rooms were spacious and spotless but less in interior décor which i would say you can try to improve. The meal buffet was delicious and restaurant was spacious and amazing with a huge variety of options. The pool was outstanding. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. The only disappointing thing was that the interior of room and blanket and bedsheet were very thin and rough. I would have liked softer ones. Other than that, I can’t fault the place and will definitely go back.

We were awaiting a Blabacar and were greeted warmly in English by a charming young woman who asked to store our luggage ( in anticipation of a wedding ) while we went to the bar. Oscar the barman was friendly ( again in English ) with bottles of wine, tapas and a seafood pizza. We did not stay longer than 90 minutes but it was still a wonderful experience in beautiful surroundings. Thank you so very much.
