Fantastic isolated location with fabulous views. Great place to chillax. Only downside is that they let anyone walk in and use the facilities which should be available for residents only. It did affect my enjoyment of the experience.

We (family of 4, children aged 14 and 11) stayed for 2 nights. We arrived late at night and the drive up to the hotel was certainly an experience, but was definitely worth it when we saw the view in the morning. The setting in the mountains is spectacular, and we loved spending time in and around the pool, taking in the view. The restaurant is good with a varied menu, although perhaps there could have been a few more options for breakfast. Expedia allowed us to book a room which was not available, so we did not get the tower room as we had hoped. However the hotel were apologetic and did their best to mitigate this, offering us a second room so that our family of 4 had plenty of space. We would recommend Hotel Cerro de Hijar for a spectacular location to get away from it all!

Perhematka

Ihana idyllinen paikka vuoristossa. Saavuimme hämärän aikaan, joten matka tuntui kestävän ikuisuuden mutkittelevaa vuoristotietä pitkin. Lentokentältä hotellille on reilun tunnin matka. Palvelu hyvää, huone siisti ja näkymät hotellilta valoisaan aikaan upeat. Matkassa olimme puolisoni sekä kolmen teini-ikäisen pojan kanssa. Suosittelen lämpimästi majoittujille, jotka kaipaavat upeita maisemia.

Mooi hotel op een fantastische plek midden in de Sierra de las Nieves. Ligging/uitzicht is magnifieke. Ideaal voor mensen, die van rust, wandelen en stilte houden, mar voor gezin met (drukke) kinderen zouden we het niet aanraden. Het leek bijna op een retraite centrum en ook voor ons dus niet het ideale hotel. Diner en ontbijt vallen ontzettend tegen. Diner is erg pretentieus (ook qua prijs !) maar is erg onder de maat. Ontbijt is heel erg simpel.

Wunderbarer Ort zum Ausspannen und Wandern

Es war fantastisch, Aussicht, geschmacksvolle Einrichtung, wir fühlten uns sofort zu Hause. Draussen ein Pool und Liegegelegenheiten mit wunderbarer Aussicht. Exquisites Essen im Restaurant. Alles 1A. Schade fanden wir, dass die Betreuung durch die Angestellten etwas gar "professionel" war, uns fehlte die Herzlichkeit ein wenig.
