Hotel Dulce Nombre

ease of access and proximity to beach

reception was marose and hard work

The pool area was very nice, clean, calm and sheltered. The restaurants around the hotel were really good and there is a beachvolley area/bar very close which was a nice chill-out. The beach (around 5 min walk) is also very nice, especially if your Kite-surfing or wind-surfing. By the beach there was a lunch restaurant which served a really good buffet with plates big enough to share between two persons.

The staff were sometimes really rude and didn't give you a welcoming feeling at all. They didn't speak english at all and did not provide any useful information about the area. It costs too much considering what you get and the rooms are standard, clean and quite large but the beds were not comfortable at all. No safetybox in the room. Breakfast is not included and one has to pay 5 euros for two toasts, coffee and a glass of juice. The hotel is a taxi ride away from Tarifa center and costs around 12 euros one way, so if you are heading for Tarifa it might be a good idea to reconsider another hotel. Though, if you are only interested in the beach close by or have a car, it's an ok hotel.

We really enjoyed the great position of the hotel between Tarifa and Bolonia, the position of the room, the trees and the green area around the hotel, the fantastic and romantic view to the seaside, the swimming pool... The Dulce Nombre was like a small "Paradise" to us...

The majority of the staff had been a little bit rude, inpolite and not smiling at all, but we didn't understand why. One of them was very nice by the way. Furthermore, there were some little small things about the cleaning of the hotel that hadn't been satisfactory: we found mould on the bread at breakfast, leaves in our room's floor when we arrived and there weren't big comfortable paper tissues on the tables at breakfast...

The pool area was very nice and the groubds were very nice. Rooms were comfortable.

Perhaps this is common in Spain, but we were charged for our 'plates' with our meals.

The location is great and the hotel itself is quite nice. The staff however were cold if not somewhat rude. The beds were not particularly comfortable either. Not a bad place for the price though and I spent most of my time at the beach, so it didn't matter that much in the end.
