La Ballenera Vacation Rentals

"Super location for relaxation and golf"

"The bed were not comfortable and the rooms were dated. Not worth the price paid for rooms."

"The hotel was a road back from the main road, but easy to park on the street-free. Clean and friendly a couple of good restaraunts in walking disrance and Gibraltar border 40 mins flat walk. The balcony look directly over the bay and Gibraltar."

"The bathroom was just a big pane of glass. (There was no wall for the bathroom). So you could see the person in the bathroom and toilet. There were no photos to show this or properly warn of this. Not private at all."

"Pool not open, hotel felt closed."

"Stayed at this property for 2 nights in 2008 and really enjoyed it then, and decided to bring my wife and use it as a base to visit the area for her first time. The units are charming, but basic. We had a 2 bedroom apt. with a sun deck, great value of money in a late Late Feb. visit. With views over the Links course and onto the Mediterranean. While 18 years has gone by, nothing has changed, including furnishings, kitchenware and appliances. It’s a basic supply of items to support your kitchen needs. There was no modern coffee maker, it’s old school small espresso pot on stove. No modern toaster, it was flat heated grill from the 70’s, etc. Everything worked, and it is a solid 3 *** property, so we were disappointed but not shocked at what was available to us. We also found it odd that the room was not ‘prepped’ for our arrival like most properties do. blankets were not put out, lightbulbs not checked, outdoor patio chairs were still stacked the corner of the deck, windows still had their metal shutters down. We discovered everything, opened up the apartment to be bright and airy, but again things work differently in a 3 *** limited service property than a higher end property. In the end, we enjoyed our stay as the unit was spacious for 2 or even for a family. If your a golfer, you have 9 courses within 10 minutes, easy access to Gibraltar, Sotogrande for its shops and dining, but a car is needed, even just around property and to explore the area. Be Ready. "

"Our room type was advertised with a balcony, our room just had a window with a wall directly in front with a piece of artificial grass covered in cigarette ends. The room had two single wobbly beds with hard, thin mattresses. The wooden headboards weren’t fixed to the wall, just wobbling about with the beds. The room cooling system did not work, only giving heat on the cool setting. The room was uncomfortably warm and the window couldn’t be opened due to mosquitos at the window. The breakfast was good, after very little sleep."
