5 night stay in a comfortable seaside village hote

Posted 20 Nov 2018 on Hotels
We spent 5 nights at Laif Hotel, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. The hotel is clean,well managed and has some wonderful breakfast treats.The bedroom was simply furnished but comfortable. The Laif is in a quiet area close to the old harbour of El Cotillo and is close to many fine restaurants and bars. The roof area is comfortably furnished and affords some spectacular views and sunsets. The small bar is a good place to meet others before going out for an evening meal

Just perfect

Posted 13 Sep 2018
Pros: Everything
Cons: The bathroom could do with some modernisation but that did nothing to detract from the overall experience of the stay
Laif is located in the centre of the old area of El Citillo - perfect for access to both the lagoon beaches and the surfing ones, best restaurants, patisserie, supermarkets and a range of independent shops and activities. The hotel is small - only 19 rooms - and boutique in style with many levels and places to sit and read, lounge by the rooftop pool, doze in a hammock, chat with other guests or enjoy the magnificent views & sunsets. The place is beautifully clean, uniquely unpretentious whilst being delightfully decorated, it is quiet and very comfortable. The staff couldn't make you more welcome or be more helpful.

Gem of a hotel but maybe not for everyone so read

Posted 28 Jan 2018 on Hotels
The hotel has a few steps down to reception and back up to rooms so not ideal for disabled .the staff were smiley and helpful. Giving us a kettle and cups. The breakfast in cafe was very good, may be a little pricey. The beds were comfortable and spotless. Thicker curtains and draft excludes would better for light sleepers. Also there is a generator thar goes off for ten seconds at random times even in middle of the night. Although the other guests were very considerate the echoes in the hallways could be a problem for some people. We enjoyed our stay and thought it was excellent value for money in a picturesque villaget with lovely bars and plenty of good restaurants. The rooftop pool is nice to cool off in and cottilo lagoon beach is shallow safe and sandy so great for kids. Bring sturdy saddles for walking over volcanic rocks plenty of sun screen and hats with chin strap as it's mostly windy.

Oozes Spanish Charm

Posted 25 Jun 2013
Pros: The chiiled out roof terrace and sundeck.
Location: Central in sleepy El Cotillo, close to some great restaurants.
Had a great time here, the owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming and make a real effort to make sure your stay is perfect. The location is great to get away from the noise and tackiness of the larger resorts, El Cotillo has loads of cool places to eat and chill out and the lagoon beaches are beautiful.
