We had a lovely ground floor room by the pool. The room was clean, a good size and suited us for a week's stay. We enjoyed the pool several times, which was also of a decent size. The views from dinner and the pool were spectacular - of the gorge and Caminito del Rey. We had really good breakfasts - essentially as much as you want and with fresh fruit and orange juice as well as both hot and cold mains. We usually ate in the restaurant, which had a broad menu and a good range of wines. The staff were always kind and helpful. We think most people come for a short trip, to walk the Caminito, but were in El Chorro for rock climbing and felt we enjoyed the best local accommodation and food. Our only issue was with breakfast, which started at 8am, and the first bus to the Caminito left at 8.40am. This was a tight schedule on the day we did it. More importantly, some days there was a huge influx of people not staying in the hotel who came for breakfast/or a coffee and these seemed very much to have precedence over hotel guests. The problem was really just from 8-9am, but the staff were then overworked, overstretched and it was not a good experience for guests or staff. We would advise leaving breakfast until 9am if possible, but the hotel administration bears a responsibility to sharpen up the process by which they deal with these breakfast pressures.
