Great stay at the El Dorado.

Excellent small hotel at the eastern end of Carboneras playa. Lots of history, great sea views and helpful staff. Good food in the restaurant if not a little overpriced. Nice pool and sunbathing area. Fifteen minutes walk along the front to the centre. Recommended.

I liked it 25 years ago, and I still !like it.

The decor always was a strange mix of classical and rather tacky gold painted mock baroc, some of it looking as if it had been knocked up by carpenters on set. - and it quite possibly was. The hotel was initially built for visit ing movie stars, and the current owners have preserved the signed photos of big names who stayed there 40 years ago while filming around Almeria. Not too much has been changed, just bettered. The pool area has been rebuilt, and my ensuite was modern and new, but the room retained a slightly old fashioned feel which I thought was charming. It has a very chilled atmosphere, and decent WiFi throughout, so you can sit in the lounge and watch Netflix on your tablet, or out at the pool. You can run a tab at the bar (a nice touch), and the only slightly negative comment is about the restaurant. Friendly service, lovely setting but by offering a limited provincial menu - served on unheated plates, - we thought it disappointing. But I still really enjoyed two nights there and would happily have stayed for longer. :-)

Lovely hotel near the sea!

We stayed here for a week. As it was just out of the seasons, the area was very quiet which we wanted... The hotel room was facing the sea and we really enjoyed the sunset, sunrise the sound of the waves!! The staff including cleaners are very nice. The room was cleaned every day including Sunday. It takes 45-1 hour to get to Almeria but there is no public transpout. You will need a car to see around. We recommend for families, couples but probably not for youngstars who love clubbing, drinking!!

A Jem in today's world

A rare hotel full of original character and Spanish charm. Staff most obliging and happy Unfortunately as we were the only room occupied no staff on for bar or food unless requested, but this made us use all local amenities. Weather very mixed for the week, however a very enjoyable stay would recommend for anyone wanting a laid back relaxing time.

Está muy bien situado, zona tranquila y al mismo tiempo estás cerca del centro. La decoración con los muebles utilizados en la película de Laurence de Arabia, con fotos de los protagonistas. Por ponerle un pero las habitaciones algo anticuadas y en mi caso me tocó una sin terraza, por lo que no teníamos para colgar las toallas cuando venía.os de la playa o de la piscina. La piscina estaba genial, el agua no estaba fría y daba gusto meterse. Situado en frente de la playa. Excelente experiencia.

Bien para estar 2 días y conocer el pueblo

Como positivo, Enrique en recepción, encantador. -aire acondicionado en la habitación y las toallas blancas y nuevas, y una mini nevera. Aparcamiento en la puerta . Luego pues mi habitación daba a la carretera, verás , que no había ruido en la zona . Los muebles tienen más de 50 años , en la bañera había algunos pelos , diferentes tipos de azulejos y de suelos , todo un poco obsoleto, hay hostales mucho pero que mucho mejores, en cuánto a comodidad, a la cama se le salía algún muelle . A pie de playa , puerta con acceso directo , así que, baño en la playa y subida a la tumbona del hotel y piscina (la usamos poco pero buen detalle que lo agradecen quienes lleven niños )
