Hotel Médano

Breathtakingly beautiful location for swimming and seaview. The hotel, formerly a shipping dock and storage facility, is partly built on pillars into the sea (terrace) and is located in a scenic small pedestrian steet opening to the sandy beach and the main square, with lots of small shops and a variety of nice restaurants and bars looking out at the sea. I had booked a very nice superior room with balcony but with only a lateral seaview out to the beach and paid an upgrade of 20.- per night upon arrival for a spacious and beautiful deluxe front sea view room with balcony. From the large sun terrace you have direct access to the sea via a staircase into the water. Big adavantage: you can change immediately into dry clothes/swimwear at the shower on the terrace. Very good breakfast, but only untel 10am, since I love swimming before breakfast, I would have preferred 11 am. Very professional and friendly staff, very good service at the restaurant and the bar. Open air live music on Fridays. Long morning or sunset walks along the shoreline or on the wooden path above the beach (natural reserve). No cars close to the beach! El Medano is rather small, no big hotel towers, only one 4 story bigger hotel across the bay, mainly appartments. End of March was perfect, not crowded, no need for reservations at the restaurants, sea temperature 20', mostly sunny (and windy)

The location is amazing with terrific views. Just outside the door, there are plenty of restaurants and shops, and you can step straight from the terrace to the ocean. My room didn’t have a balcony, but there was a huge terrace just a few meters from my room with a shower. The breakfast had a wide selection and was good. You can sit outside, enjoy your breakfast, and take in the views. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I don’t eat breakfast but my friends did and both said it was extremely good with plenty of choice. The hotel is extremely nice, our room was very good with a lovely bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities, a small fridge and complimentary bottles of water. There are good sunbathing areas. The Terrace bar serves drinks until about 10 pm and food at lunchtime.

Location - value for money

What a beautiful and restful stay at this amazing hotel. It's the perfect location, I would say even a romantic location. Watching the mood at night by the water at my stay here was beyond amazing. I loved every minute here, everything was amazing and I loved how there is service for refreshing drinks and something much on on the deck. I hope to come back again soon. I have beautiful memories from here and so peaceful. I highly recommend.
