We stayed at the hotel the Playa De La Luz while visiting our daughter station at the naval base in Rota. We enjoyed our stay the resort is nice and the atmosphere was very laid back. We had breakfast included in our package, and it was well worth it. The pools are nice the beach had way to much seaweed for our liking but it is still a beautiful setting to be on the beach. Parking could also be better, we parked on the outside of the hotel as it can be costly to stay in the hotel parking lot. All in all we had an amazing stay there.

The hotel was spacious, clean & well maintained. I would highly recommend, the pools, beach & rooftop adult pool/beach club was very nice. Reception staff was coldly polite & not especially helpful, they did not make recommendations, etc. The cleaning staff is amazing! The woman who cleaned our room daily made the bed perfectly, was warm, funny, kind & patient with us. The location was good-we had a car, they have paid parking available. However, just outside the gate there is plenty of free street parking, in nice neighborhood. If you want a lounge chair on the beach, be aware the charge is €12 p/p per day. Rota was lovely, lots of good food & lovely locals.

The property was in a good location next to the beach and a good walk through into the town. Slightly frustrated to discover we had to pay for the beach club and that we had to pay for the whole stay (not just the days we wanted to use it). Likewise we had to pay for towels as well which we weren’t expecting. Once there it was a nice area but there was no bar or service until 5pm (also frustrating given there was a member of staff behind the bar every day)! There wasn’t much food choice for vegans/veggies which we both are. The room was really spacious and clean and we had a balcony view that included sea/pool. Overall a nice stay just some minor frustrations around clarity if pricing and

This is a great resort location on the beach with two pools and two restaurants. Breakfast buffet is only EUR 10 and dinner buffet was only EUR 25 (prices may be higher in summer). The beach is walkable and about 2kms to the Rota Lighthouse. I spent the first afternoon walking along the beach to the old town and then returned by street to see the old town and newer section. One item different from U.S. properties is that neither of the pools is heated and there is no hot tub. The pools were too cold to use in January but the sun deck on roof of the beach club building was semi-protected from the winds. The staff was very friendly, professional, and helpful.

Buffet - great selection. Problem is tha breakfast was not available until 8.00am and everyone staying at the hotel had to be at a local tournament by 8.30am. They should have been more helpful at opening earlier. Secondly the car parking is now charged for all guests - and on every entry / exit. It was free last year. The bar service though friendly was very slow. Great location, nice clean rooms. Maybe tea and coffee in the rooms would be a nice addition as it is common practice in most hotels.

Der Pool im Beach Club ist sehr zu empfehlen, da er sehr ruhig ist & man super ein paar Stunden in den Daybeds verbringen kann. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, alles da was man braucht. Für Menschen mit Zöliakie wurde jeden Morgen ein glutenfreies Baguette auf Anfrage warm gemacht & an den Tisch gebracht. Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr praktisch, da man entspannt in die Altstadt laufen kann & direkt in den Atlantik springen kann. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind auch unweit entfernt. Wir kommen wieder!
