Playaballena Spa Hotel

This spa is very relaxing, and I really enjoyed the thermal circuit, and the ice pools were exactly what my legs needed after a good workout! Photos aren't allowed at this spa, but I'm sure you could view them on the website.

For a course in Rota, with a colleague, I spent a week at the playabalena spa, only breakfast included. We checked in with Laura, a well-prepared and very professional girl, she immediately put us at ease, also allowing us to have breakfast at 07:00 (official opening time 08:00). All the hotel staff work with dedication to keeping the hotel facility clean at all times, as are the bar staff. On the day of departure Laura did her best to make us have a small breakfast at 03:45, before leaving at 04:00 and the colleague on the night shift, upon our arrival, immediately prepared the breakfast for us. I hope that the owner of the structure knows how lucky he is to have, in addition to Laura, a highly qualified and trained staff.

I have greatly enjoyed this hotel and spa. The staff are very friendly and the accommodations are excellent. The pools and dining are quite kid friendly and there are plenty of children around the property. The bar and restaurant delivered great food and drinks and it was quite nice that the staff accommodated us with speaking English. The room I had was basic, however, comfortable and with a nice balcony overlooking the pools. The workout facility is a little limited but instead onto the boardwalk or beach for some exercise in the sun. All around this resort is not one to miss. I look forward to my next trip here.

We booked this hotel as we where going to watch the motogp in Jerez so it was 25mins from the track, carhire definitely needed though, I will be back here, close to the beach, they have a great pool area and indoor pool and jacuzzi inside and outside, staff are very friendly and helpful, the buffet breakfast is spectacular to say the least, we stayed 5 nights here, I'd definitely recommend staying longer, small village but lovely area to explore 😀

With a great location, great service, and clean rooms, it's a must do!

This place is a must if you travel to Cádiz or Rot for holidays. All three meals offer buffet and live cooking for frying things like bacon and eggs for breakfast and meat and fish for lunch and supper. The food is abundant and of utmost quality and taste. The waiting service as is the food allergen advice is outstanding. Most things are gluten free and they really make it easy to travel with coeliac kids because they offer you the same as any other client. The swimming pools are in great clean condition and the superior rooms with garden lead straight to the exterior pools which are incredibly fun. They allow pets and you can walk them outside on the premises (except the pool area). Will definitely come back as often as possible.

Although the reception speed could be improved, everything here was great. Nice and helpful employees, overall cleanliness (both inside and outside the rooms) along with some entertainment sessions throughout the day, like zumba and water polo.
There is a good food selection to cater for everyone's taste.
The two outside bars allow you to get a quick refreshment while you're enjoying the pools(although one tends to close earlier).
In case you want to relax outside yet prefer the shade, you're in luck, as they have plenty of palm trees close to the swimming pools.
All in all, a great location to chill out. Oh, and the beach is at about 2-300m from the hotel ;)

Great spacious room. I found out after the fact that the A/C doesn't fully turn on until you close the interior door. The pool is awesome and the beach is just beyond it. The buffet wasn't too good, but they had good flan.

Very good hotel with a big aqua park for the kids. The staff are so friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic hotel for vacationing. I came in the off season for work so the shops weren't open yet but I can tell theres plenty of food to try and stores to go to. It's right off the beach and is beautiful, walk way goes in both directions so great for running. Breakfast and dinner was included and while I didnt go to the spa my coworkers did and swear by the massages.

I would recommend, if you want to be by the beach, stay here. The view is amazing and is a short walk to the ocean. The rooms are nice and clean, the bath is hot, and there is a balcony for every room.

The rooms are super clean. Variey of food to choose from. Beautiful golf course and ocean view. Spa is awesome. Customer service A+.

Absolutely amazing resort style hotel. From the pools, tennis courts, mini golf, spa, amazing buffet, to the balcony in each room. The stay was amazing and all this while being right on the beach.

We spent a few nights at this really nice resort, great atmosphere and really nice breakfast. The room was okay and nice too

Beautiful place ,no expensive ,close to the beautiful beach , food ok ,very clean room , water in pools cold, but I recommend and will go there again

A very comfortable room with a patio opening onto a garden area with an array of pools. The buffet was excellent.

Fantastic hotel, add the breakfast and dinner to your cost, as it's very worth it!

Excellent hotel. Excellent value. Excellent staff.

Great spa and the place is kept very well. Located on the beach so very convenient.

We went to a bath to the Spa area and everything was perfect. They have a kinds of pools and saunas.
