The large and elegant Gran Hotel Colon Costa Ballena in Rota, southern Spain, is a four-star establishment set among its own picturesque gardens and just 350 metres from the nearest sandy beach. Such idyllic surroundings – coupled with the efficient, friendly staff, bright interiors and well-appointed facilities – make this hotel a perennial favourite with visitors keen to experience the best the Costa de la Luz has to offer. The town’s quaint and pretty centre is also just a short walk away and teems with local restaurants, shops and tapas bars that specialise in the local sherry.
The 200 guestrooms and suites are exquisitely furnished and decorated in a fresh style, bursting with natural sunlight and proving extremely spacious. The clean lines and even cleaner hygiene standards are augmented by the mod-cons found within, including en suite with hairdryer, individually-controlled air conditioning, satellite TV, internet point, direct dial telephone, safety deposit box and mini bar. All rooms also boast their own private terrace with outdoor furniture.
This large hotel offers two restaurants: the Atlantico provides show cooking and a relaxed environment in which guests can enjoy the generous Mediterranean-themed buffet served up every dinner time (this room also serves a breakfast buffet every morning), while the Italian-influenced Mare Nostrum restaurant provides a more intimate and classy setting, providing a la carte meals each evening. Additionally, guests can enjoy snacks and late-night drinks at the lobby cocktail bar.
