Hotel la Malvasía

The hotell is stunning. Really beautifull and also the rooms are very nice decorated. The staff at the reception was superfriendly and helpfull. The hotell is located close to the centre of the town but very quiet at night. We stayed during the week out of season and it was very quiet. Maybe too quiet because there was only a very little choice of restaurants. The breakfast was a bit disappointing, no fresh orange juice or egg. Most of the guests ate local ham for breakfast but there were very few vegetarian options, only one cheese. It was ok but not overwhelming for a four stars hotel. We also tried the pool at the roof, it had only 4 sunbeds but the view was spectacular.

What a wonderful place to stay. This is a boutique hotel as it should be. Everything was well taken care of, staff was very welcoming and the suite was wonderful. The price quality for this hotel is outstanding. El Rocío is a special place to spend a couple of nights. During the evening the atmosphere is magic. It is better to go during weekdays to avoid weekenders and second home owners, if you wish to experience the quiet magic of the place. Just one remark: we tried to use the bar terrace for a drink, but it was hardly possible to sit on any chair. They were almost all dirty with bird droppings. Now, in this place so close to the national park, I guess this can hardly be avoided, unless a creative solution could be found to cover the terrace somehow ….

We stayed two nights in august and enjoyed every minute. Hotel is in a beautiful restored traditional hacienda. Reminded us of estancias in Argentina. Very old world. Staff polite and helpful with good English. Room clean,beautiful decor, comfy bed. Great pool area on roof top with views of Doñana park and wild horses grazing. Only four deck chairs so fills up quickly. There’s a bell to ring for drinks service by the pool. We had sun downers there with great sunsets. Good breakfast but very overpriced at 16 eur per person. Bread, fruit, ham, cheese and cakes (no eggs or youghurt) plus very good coffee from espresso machine but still not worth 16 euro. Had dinner in their restaurant on first night. Pricy but worth it. We ate outside on their terrace with horses riding by on their evening excercises. We loved the hotel and the very special village of El Rocio. Thank you.

This rural hotel will remind you of a Mexican hacienda! We stayed in the new building which was absolutely amazing! Immaculately clean sheets and pillows and a beautiful bathroom in a great location by the Donana Park where you can see pink flamingos and other species. The breakfast needs improvement and is not what you might expect for a Hotel of this category.

Have just returned from a 2 night stay in a junior suite at La Malvasia and could not have been more impressed or better treated! An amazing view from our room, (directly overlooking the lagoon) which even came equipped with its own telescope. The hotel itself is beautiful, and only outdone by the quality and friendliness of the staff. From the front desk to the restaurant/bar, the service was excellent. We absolutely would not hesitate to stay there again - thank you to all at La Malvasia for a superb stay!

Reading about the La Malvasia, I thought I would like it. I did not. I loved it. It was everything it promised. And much more. Everyone on staff was exceptionally helpful, most especially the kind angels who arranged to get our left-behind passports to us. No task was too big, no request too small. The standouts in the stay were the size and layout of our beautiful and spacious suite, number 12. We have never before had such a comfortable accomodation in any of  our dozens of trips to Europe....or anywhere else in the world. And the graciousness of the hotel is enhanced by the natural beauty of its setting. The lake/marsh that serves as the "front yard" is a vast expanse full of birds, and wild horses. Hundreds of Flamingoes dance across the waters as dozens of Cattle Egrets swarm the skies. Too many magic moments to note them all in one review. The meals were well prepared and presented, the rooms kept to a high standard of cleanliness, the internet connection strong and fast. My one and only disappointment was that the lovely restaurant was lit too brightly at night for dinner.  We would have much preferred candlelight as the soft jazz and moonlit marsh begged for a more romantic dining experience. We look forward to returning to Hotel La Malvasia and hope the next time it will be for considerably more time than the 3 nights we spent on this visit.
