パラドール デ アルコス デ ラ フロンテーラ(Parador de Arcos de La Frontera)

食事は最高で、スタッフは親切でフレンドリー、そして歓迎してくれました。私はいくつかのパラドールに宿泊したことがあり、パラドールは格別なものだと期待していましたが、ここも期待を裏切りませんでした。バーやレストランからの眺めは素晴らしかったです。

カディスとネルハのパラドールを訪れた後、アルコス デ ラ フロンテーラのパラドールに行くことにしました。おいしい食事、素敵な部屋、素晴らしいサービスにとても満足したからです。大きな間違いでした。部屋はまあまあでしたが、夕食は！スペインで最悪の夕食でした。2日間、ハーフボードをいただきました。2日目、夫がメインコースの食べられない肉を返品したところ、まったく味のないパスタに取り替えられました。アボカドとビーツの料理は酸っぱすぎ、魚料理は味も新鮮さもありませんでした。こんなまずい料理にお金を払うなんて？このパラドールで夕食をとらないことをお勧めします。4軒目のパラドールに行く勇気があるかわかりません。とてもがっかりしました。

とにかく素晴らしい。ロケーションは最高。スタッフも親切。少し離れた駐車場に車を停めなければならない以外は、文句のつけようがありません。最高の景色とプライベートバルコニーを楽しむには、スーペリアルームを予約することをお勧めします。歩く覚悟が必要です（ほとんどが上り坂です）。

We stayed at this hotel as part of a bicycle tour and had dinner and breakfast there. Our room was spacious but our window opened to a nearby house wall, so not much natural light or view. Some of our friends had teraces et panoramic views. So if you can ask for a room with view, especially for a multi day stay. Dinner was a 3 course meal with a pomegranate, orange, greens, cheese and turkey salad, which was delicious. The main course was tuna steak with puree of sweet potatoes and a boiled potato. The tuna was overcooked, but the onoin compote brought it moisture. Dessert was an orange custard. For breakfast,you could order eggs, and help yourself to a very wide buffet. It was very good.

Enjoyed our stay. Hotel very nice. Clean, well kept generally. Only let down was reception staff, they were not forthcoming with information, not only on check in , but overall.

We stayed one night at this wonderfully situated hotel in the center of the white village of Arcos de la Frontera. Given its location if you have a car you will be parking in the newer part of town in the parking garage and either hiking up hill 15+ minutes with your luggage or taking a taxi. We took a taxi. The streets are crazy narrow even for the professionals. We arrived early and were able to check-in. The woman at the front desk was delightful and super helpful (she also checked us out and ordered us a taxi). Fortunately I booked a superior room and it had a stupendous view of the valley below. The hotel is right on the edge of the cliff. The hotel is an old palace so it has its quirks but the room was big and the balcony huge. There was a safe and a small frig and tea kettle. The price was pretty good but it was off season. Not a big deal given the room we had and it was the weekend but the main square of town right outside the front door is in the midst of major construction so it could be loud on weekdays depending on the room. This project looks like it has a long way to go... Thumbs up.

I find it somewhat difficult to review and judge this Parador properly. The gentleman at the front desk welcomed us warm and kindly. He also informed us that we were upgraded to a junior suite. It goes without saying that this is very nice and very kind. The fact is we did not really get that feeling from the room we stayed at. Room number 20. Bed was kindly prepared as a king, and the room was very spacious and clean. There is nothing wrong with that, and the bathroom new fresh and clean as well. But we just missed being able to enjoy some of the nice views. Perhaps we must conclude we are becoming some spoiled over demanding travellers. The terrace offers an amazing view service kind, and any drink will just taste just great when you can sit down in the Andalsiuan sun in February overlooking the beautiful green valley and the ancient church of Arcos de la Frontera. City is worthwhile visiting. Breakfast is somewhat small compared to other Parador Hotels, but the ladies in Breakfast service way friendlier. Make sure when staying in this Parador to book a terrace room overlooking the valley. Thanks.

A must visit Parador, choose a Superior Room with a balcony for wonderful views and sunsets. Great staff as always at the Paradors and the food and service is good. Only challenge currently is the lack of close parking do to town works. You have to park in the town parking below, but it is only a 10 minute walk.
