Mal Nombre hotel guide. Occidental hotel in Mal Nombre, Pajara

"A perfect place for a couple looking to unwind in a very quiet, serene atmosphere of the hotel. The adults-only hotel is right by the beach on a moderately high hill. The ramp and the steps leading to the beach are perfectly kept and surrounded by beautiful plants. We enjoyed daily long walks along the gorgeous golden sandy beaches. And one needs them as breakfast and dinner food were above our expectations (I found cold starters and dinner desserts especially delicious and creative). There was plenty of traditional, pescaterian and vegetarian/vegan choices to satisfy even a picky foodie. Our room was next to one of the beautiful courtyards and made our stay even more special. Hearing the birds chirping almost every time we walked through it was so relaxing. The outdoor pools are on two levels with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic ocean. I enjoyed swimming in one of them as it was heated. We had fantastic four nights at the hotel. A special thank you to all the catering staff of the hotel as they were very efficient. I will remember one of the waiters Hugo whose genuine smile and attitude were especially welcoming. I would definitely recommend this hotel as it is worth visiting. "

" 5 star"

"Food was wide ranging and of an excellent standard at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very small glasses for beer in the evenings are a source of frustration as is the constant need to login to Wi-fi. Hotel looks to have been refurbished in fairly recent past though not all of it has been done successfully e.g. bathrooms look great though mirrors are clearly old and worn with floor tiles in reception cracked and broken. Great value out of season holiday. Hotel has many steps/stairs though there are lifts - not all of which work all of the time. Well located with the main shops and beach only a short walk away."
