“ I booked El Retiro based on another review which mentioned a bathtub. And a bathtub we got. The restaurant was closed on the evening we got there, but the barman put together a plate for us unasked. He could probably see we couldn't walk to anyplace in the town! It's on the Camino, so no diversions. ”
“ Great place to stay on the Camino! Spacious, clean and confortable rooms. Nice and friendly staff. The patio at the back as well as the green park was a nice plus. Overall great value. ”
“ Brilliant hotel with really spacious rooms. They’re also very clean and clearly been recently updated (compared to most Spanish Hotels) got really good showers with a large shower head and good pressure. Rooms are large (stayed in a double which had plenty of room). Staff are also very friendly and they’ve got a nice little bar/ restaurant downstairs. Only thing would be to say it’s about a 20 min walk from the beach but it’s really not a difficult walk and fairly quick. Town is close by and lots of restaurants. There is a fantastic Italian called Capone very close. Honestly worth visiting great value and food. Wifi is also very very fast. Had a lovely coffee and cake whilst working remotely. Brilliant little place. ”
“ Great Value, Comfortable Spacious Room with an extremely nice in suite bathroom. In addition, it's right along the Camino de Santiago and the we're able to provide a stamp. Furthermore, dinner was excellent. Had essentially steak frites. Probably the best accommodations I've stayed at so far along the Coastal Portuguese Camino, great bang for the buck! ”
“ Excellent restaurant. We ordered a small octopus dish as a snack, a seafood dish for two, and pork chops. All was very tasty and plentiful ”
