Hot spring Hotels in Province of Huelva

Interesting reading some of the comments. First – Car Parking. With some preparation which you surely must do coming to a small town like Aracena we knew exactly where the car park was. A good SatNav (not Google Maps on a phone) and a quick glance at Google Earth before you start shows exactly where the car park is (at the rear). Admittedly we stopped at the front to ask them to let us in when we got around. We found any staff we came across very helpful (I forget the lady’s name on Reception). We have no quibbles about the food either for breakfast or in the restaurant. We saw very few people staying here on our one night. The room was comfortable with a good shower. Toiletries were good quality. The room we had was to the rear and overlooked the pool area and the hills beyond. The bed was comfortable and large. Everything was very clean. No complaints. I would note that this hotel is high up in the town so any visits require a little stamina and of course the Castle is even higher up (do very early). We stayed here to visit the Caves in the morning (10.30 descend) and the hotel allowed us to remain parked in the garage until we returned (they even opened the bar for us to get cold drinks on our return near 12 noon. The conversion from Convent to Hotel has allowed some interesting construction/opening up – eg the Reception/Bar/Lounge Area. Quite impressive.

We had a 7 day vacation at the golf resort. We were recognised as gold member and received an upgrade to a ‘villa’. It was nice for the four of us my daughter and boyfriend stayed in the main building. In the villa there was no storage in the bedroom and a bathtub on the second floor with a shower, I would update this to a walk in shower there is plenty of space. Breakfast, dinner and 5 rounds of golf were in our package which was great. A bit more different themes during the week for diner are welcome but overall good. You can rent a buggy for 5 days with a package price of €160. We played padel 5 times which was a nice addition activity. Renting a court and rackets is €27,00 for 90 minutes. The golf course is challenging and with 27 holes has a lot of variety. Greens are really well maintained. There is a little train to the beach club that is a nice activity for a day or two. Plenty of fresh fish restaurants.

Aracena is a lovely Andalucian town in the hills not far from Huelva which is famous for its caves, castle and scenic beauty. The Barcelo is a large, modernized hotel that overlooks the town and has a million dollar view that makes it a perfect place to stay in the area. The rooms are spacious with large balconies from which to enjoy the view. A very good breakfast buffet is included. It also has all the amenities expected in a resort hotel - pool, spa, gym, walking trails and more, but it really is the view that makes this hotel get an excellent rating.

I have had a lovely relaxing holiday I have taken on board what others have said and do agree with a few point (1) I think evening meals should start at 7pm not 8pm as it's late for a lot of foreigners and I appreciate what the hotel management have said in regards to local eating times but I would've guessed that more than half of the people here are not local so maybe there should be some leniency in regards to this Also, the whole time I was here, all of the Coke lemonade etc at the main bar were all flat and when I tried to go to the restaurant to get Coke which was not flat and was good because at the pool bar and the restaurant the Coca-Cola is fine. They abruptly refused me and almost pushed me out of the restaurant, embarrassing me in front of other people which I did not find, Satisfactory and all I was trying to do is explain that the cook in the main bar is flat. He did not understand my English and he looked very angry. This was the person who is in charge of the restaurant front of house has dark hair probably 5,7 apart from this all the staff where fantastic I had a relaxing holiday also I Would like to give a mention to the spa facilities which are very good and there is a massage therapist there called (Nieves) she is outstanding at her job I had a hit and cold stone massage on my second night I had foot reflexology on my fourth night and And a full hard sports massage on my 5th day she was so very good and professional and made me feel relaxed and at ease at all times I would suggest using her she a five star therapist :-)
