This might be the nicest hotel/resort I have ever been to in my life...and by nicest I mean…read moreluxurious, comfortable, relaxing, charming, expansive and much much more. Lets start with the wonderfully friendly and efficient staff. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with smiling faces. Everyone seemingly loves there job...I get it as its a wonderful place to be. We had a sea view suite and they added 2 roll away cots in the sitting area for our children. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. We had a great patio where we could sit and have a glass of wine while they slept. My husband played golf 3 of the 4 days and said it was a great course (I believe you have to have a handicap to play, otherwise he would have taken my 8 year old son with him one of the days.) We never left the hotel for a meal as the food is so good. Usually we try to find some authentic local food restaurants, but Finca Cortesin ropes you in so that you don't want to leave. We ate at Don Giovanni 2 nights which we loved. We found the pizzas and pasts to be excellent and a great atmosphere just across the road from the front entrance. We had lunch one day at the beach club which is pricey for children (no kids menu) but enjoyable with a bottle of rose, paella and some great salad options. One night we fed the kids at the more casual bar patio which has bar food and a children's menu (very reasonably priced kids food) and brought them upstairs to bed so we could try the adults only Raw Kabuki restaurant which is very expensive but absolutely delicious--sashimi, fried rice, tempura, carpaccio--small, excellent and not stuffy. Again, the servers made the whole experience terrific. I would be extremely remiss if I didn't mention the breakfast--best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. You are given fresh yogurt, fruit, a fresh bread basket with an excellent assortment of goodies and of course parma ham, manchego cheese etc and then....you can order a la cart in addition. My husband had the eggs benedict every day because it was that good. My daughter said the french toast was the best she has ever had (and I think I make a pretty mean french toast.) And my son loved the pancakes, french toast and eggs benedict...while I was quite happy with the bread basket and the assortment of other goodies. The pools and the beach club were just so picturesque, I could have moved right in...We would go right to the pool after breakfast and wouldn't leave until 6-7pm. It was pure heaven. We did have the opportunity to see the cottages and they were huge. You could easily fit 2 families of 4 in a cottage--they have a gourmet kitchen, 4 bedrooms and its own infinity pool. I wish I was still there!! But I guess if every day were a vacation, vacation wouldn't feel so special...though living at Finca Cortesin sure sounds good as I write this review!!

The compound is divided in two parts by the Málaga-Cadíz highway but the sides are connected by an underground crosswalk and both have a pool with lounge chairs.

There is a convenience store next door for your snacking needs if you feel overwhelmed by Andalusian menu and don't feel like joining locals and travelers alike at the hotel restaurant.

I felt safe, but not sure I would do it with the family or if I was a single women. You kinda have to walk thru the "projects" to get there. The hotel staff was nice. The buffet breakfast and afternoon expresso was well appreciated. Free wifi in the lobby, but in the room it was expensive. Also, the upload speed was dreadfully slow. Just some general advice, if you're going Gibraltar more than once, stay in Gibraltar. The border crossing (especially coming back into Spain) is really a pain in the a$$. Also, don't forget your passports, you are leaving Spain and entering into British Territory.

This hotel was lovely…read more Our room was very tiny, but the bed was comfortable, the room clean, and the decor just lovely. The bathroom was also very tiny, but clean, and stocked with the usual amenities. Some notes: -It can get VERY loud. The rooms all face out on the bar area which can disrupt your sleep if you're in bed before midnight. Bring earplugs. The night we were there they were having a huge party and there was a man playing the guitar and singing. We actually opened the windows of our room to listen, but if you are trying to sleep, this might be an issue. -There is free wifi in the lobby. Just ask the front desk for a password. -They will stow your bags for you if you arrive and your room is not ready. -Free buffet breakfast that was quite good. We enjoyed mimosas and toast in their lovely cafe. There is yogurt, ham, cheese, and coffee available as well. -No television in the room. We didn't care, but if that matters to you, just an FYI. -There is a small shop and a spa on site if you're so inclined. I think we paid 75 euros for our room and it was worth every penny. It's close to the dock if you're planning on taking the ferry to Tangier, and also walkable from the bus station if you arrive that way. (We took the bus from Sevilla.) Highly recommended if you're in Tarifa!

Hotel stays aren't determined by fixtures, fittings or facilities, though - it's the time you have that make them. And the time we had was fantastic. We had a great meal in the buzzy bar/restaurant (a mixture of local tuna and local beef, if memory serves), a stroll round the block on a summer's evening for a couple more drinks followed by a great night's sleep. The next morning, up for breakfast and a wander round the lovely old town (which the hotel is at the heart of). Objectively speaking, La Sacristia was good. But for some reason we just had an amazing time - so I'll always remember it very fondly.

More expensive than the dumps in La Linea and cheaper than Gib. This was a fantastic lodging experience. We had never stayed on a houseboat and it was great. I opted for the larger "modern" boat which was the 2nd biggest for two of us. It had a queen bed, a small but regular bathroom (not a wet bathroom like the smaller units), a large kitchen/ living room and an awesome upper deck on the roof. The views of the Rock and the harbor from the roof deck were stunning - it was a great place for cocktails and sunset watching both evenings we were there. I was super impressed by how well organized this accommodation was including the self check-in, the codes for access, the printed instructions in the boathouse, etc. Any questions I asked via What's App were answered quickly. The parking was free in the marina lot. Also they had free bikes to use which we did when we rode into Gibraltar on our second day. The kitchen for being small was well equipped. We liked that they had a water dispenser so we did not have to buy extra bottle watered. Two minor distractions were the current water restrictions imposed by the town which meant no running water between 23:00 and 6:00 (not the fault of the boathaus) and the fact that the public walkway was right on the other side of the fence from the boat dock. It wasn't as private as it could have been but it was rarely noisy. We loved our stay here since it was so unique and charming.

Amazing Views aboard Adventurous Accommodations. This IS Yacht Rock...sort of…read more Maybe not a yacht but your very own 322sq/ft houseboat with a huge view of the Rock of Gibraltar. And sunsets. But really the Rock. That's why you came all this way. Cost Skip the high priced £££ hotels in Gibraltar and stay ~13min walk to the boarder for much less €€€. I paid around €100/nt through Booking dot com which I almost exclusively use in Europe and Asia. Safety Controlled/Gated access to Marina 1 which is the closest to the boarder along with free parking feet away. The houseboat has an electronic lock so no keys to carry/lose. I felt totally safe. Boarder Unless you need to be in Gibraltar early or the majority of the time, stay in Spain. A quick walk, easy crossing, and 10min walk, busses or taxis will wiz you across the active runway and into a land of Fish & Chips among other things. The view from here is better. Amenities The houseboat is a boat so this is not an option for those who require accommodations. But if you're willing to give it a try, almost anyone can hang here for a couple nights. There's a galley with hot plate, pod coffee maker, small fridge, and sink along with plates, glasses, etc.. Perfect for preparing your afternoon apertivo/Happy Hour snacks for the roof top deck but more on that later. The sleeping is peaceful and the boat does rock slightly. The full bed was more comfortable than some hotels I've visited throughout Spain this trip. There's also a double bunk and sofa bed. Perfect for 1, 2 or maybe 3 but after that it's going to be tight. The Bathroom This is a boat and the head is small with integrated shower. Does not smell and easy to use. You'll get the hang of it. Embrace the adventure. You might even like being able to sit on the toilet while showering. I won't judge. The Deck Here's where it all comes together. With a table for 4, lighting, umbrella, and a couple deck nice chairs this is where I spent my mornings and evenings. There's a market behind the bus station, about 6min walk to stick up on snacks and wine to enjoy the sunsets. Or get up early and watch the sun rise behind the rock. It's very peaceful. Boat Haus is one of the most unique hotels I've visited and if my travels find me in Gibraltar again, this is where I want to be. Gracias! 1000th Yelp Review!
