An unforgettable stay
La Bobadilla was exceptional. Staff were beyond attentive no matter your request. Both the restaurants were amazing, especially La Finca’s taster menu of which we have never had an experience like it. Our room was tastefully decorated in an old-style, with a beautiful patio with stunning views. Housekeeping did an amazing job at tidying the room and with turn-down service. All amenities were great. The only downside was that we didn’t stay long enough!

Great hotel but be prepared to pay for ice!!
Stay was great however air conditioning in room was not working very well and most surprisingly when we asked for a bucket of ice for wine they brought it and charged 5 euros for the ice. Never experienced this at a hotel of this caliber and price, ice should be included in the price of the stay! Most hotels that are far more affordable have free ice machines!

Overall we loved this resort. The setting is beautiful, the staff was friendly and professional, the room was comfortable and well appointed. There were a couple of issues however, to make note of. First, we booked a terrace suite which was lovely, but the location of our suite was less than desirable. It was located right in between the main lobby and the restaurant, so when we sat out on our beautiful terrace, we were being stared at by the people sitting in the lobby or the people in the restaurant. It was extremely uncomfortable due to the lack of privacy. We were in room 6 which while beautiful, I would not recommend to anyone who wants privacy. The other issue we encountered was the tasting dinner called "La Finca". When the front desk staff told us about it, they said that it was a twelve course tasking menu with wine pairings. They never mentioned that any alcohol we consumed during the tasting dinner was an additional charge, we thought it would be included in the price of the tasting dinner. We weren't told about this until we were already in the tasting dinner and they were about to pour us a glass of wine. We asked if there was a charge and they said that there was. We felt like this was something the staff should have told us before we were already in the dinner. The hotel should consider including the wine pairings with this tasting menu and then just adjust the price accordingly to account for this so that people aren't caught off guard.

This was our third time at La Bobadilla, and it didn't disappoint. The hotel and its surroundings are beautiful, and the staff are super helpful and friendly. Despite the ongoing covid situation we always felt safe and it was an excellent place to relax and escape for a few days. Can't wait to go back again.

Great hotel but food could be better
Super nice hotel, excellent room and bed, great service and pool area The only negative was the food which felt below the standard of the rest of the hotel. It was not bad per se, but just a bit average. (We ate at the mirador for lunch and the burger was a bit cold and the cheese felt straight out of the fridge. Then ate at the Cortijo at night and food was not bad but nothing special)
