We stayed here for the first as an overnight before catching the ferry from Santander. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The room was large well equipped and clean. The food in the restaurant was limited as we are veggie but we had the best veggie paella ever. There was limited time to explore the surroundings as we arrived late afternoon and had to leave by 1030 but it looked very interesting so much so that we are planning to return next year and allow ourselves more time.

“A great 3 night beach break”

This hotel exceeded my expectations and had not been my first choice. The beach is wonderful for walking, exploring and swimming, with stunning changing seascapes. I was delighted to have room 106, directly facing the magnificent beach, a double bed but no balcony. The pillows were top quality and there were so many of them. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom spacious, everything was spotless and made up daily which I really like. There is a very good guide in the room, the best I have seen. The staff in the hotel, cafe and restaurant work very hard and are helpful and friendly when you see them. The waiters in the cafe downstairs work very long shifts and always made me feel welcome and made great coffee. I never ate in the main restaurant as I avoid over-priced formal seafood dining on the beach front. On my first night, I did try rabas in the cafe which was overcooked and chewy so that deterred me from trying any other cafe food, apart from a breakfast tostada with fresh tomato which was great. I was disappointed some of the nearby restaurants were closed so it was inconvenient to find quality places to dine or order from. I would suggest bringing some snacks if you want to maximise your beach time. The hotel/cafe would benefit from having more snacks and tea/coffee making facilities in the room would make a big difference for relaxing. The hotel also has a nice side terrace which I found relaxing for reading and ample lounging space on the lower level which I did not use. Be prepared for music until midnight from the bar. If I return, I would request a room on a higher floor for more privacy from the terrace and car park below as I would prefer to have the curtains and large windows wide open to take in the incredible views. Wifi was a bit slow but adequate for my needs.

“Beachfront”

I stayed one night at this hotel while walking the Camino de Santiago. Noja is a beach holiday town with many hotels but this one turned out to be a good choice. It is more or less beach front.

I stayed one night at this hotel while walking the Camino de Santiago. Noja is a beach holiday town with many hotels but this one turned out to be a good choice. It is more or less beach front. The best views of the beach are from the restaurant/bar rather than the rooms but there were beach “glimpses” from my balcony. The room was fairly standard 3-star hotel size but in really good condition and seemed larger with a big balcony. Everything was white, modern and clean. There was a big bed, desk, armchair and mini fridge. There was also a table-top fan but the day was cool enough for it not to be needed. It was on the side of the building that got the afternoon sun and was beautifully light with windows right along the balcony side. The bathroom had a shower over a tub which was a bit too slippery for my liking but was otherwise adequate and clean. The receptionist spoke some English which was helpful. My only complaint concerns the wifi. I was given 2 passes with codes but the hotel system connected without any request for a code. It was very, very slow and froze often. The ground floor of the building consisted of the sea front restaurant/bar and a second indoor/outdoor restaurant on the side street. I only had a drink at the sea front restaurant which from the blackboard menu is seafood-centric and expensive. There are seats across a small road that have a great beach view and are perfect for an evening drink. Hotel Las Olas is a nice place to stay for a night or for longer. I would be happy to return.
