Very pleasant and rustic hotel
I have stayed here several times over the last 20 years. The hotel has not changed at all, which is a good thing. It is set within a national wildlife park and surrounded by forest woodland. Wonderful if you want to get away from the crowds and have long country walks. The rooms are immaculately clean and comfortable. They include a "continental breakfast" but it's a lot more than that, with fresh orange juice, cake, toast, cheese, ham and fresh coffee - excellent. Lunch and dinner is superb - reasonable prices - fresh and wholesome food. The steak was fantastic. Only one major criticism - there is no mobile phone signal available, so you are very cut off from the outside world. That said, I love the hotel's charm and rustic character, and the food is wonderful.

So peaceful.
Loved it. So quiet and peaceful. The hotel is surrounded by forests and beautiful scenery. If you wanted to you could be walking all day. The room was very clean and larger than some we have stayed the night in. There was a space for a small fridge which would have been handy but there wasn't one. The staff were very nice and helpful. We ate in the restaurant most of the time during our stay and everything was very well priced. We plan to visit again in August for our anniversary and walk the Marbella route.

Friendly hotel in beautiful location
This is a splendidly isolated hotel, at the end of a winding mountain road, 5km from the main highway running north from of Marbella. Apparently it's a converted hunting lodge, and certainly it's surrounded by mountains with hiking trails and viewpoints. The little gift shop in the lobby had good hiking maps, including several recommended routes. The staff are friendly, and have enough English between them to cope with hopelessly monoglot visitors such as ourselves. The food is good.

Great location for hiking
We have stayed at the juanar twice now, one in June and recently in March. Both times the hotel was almost empty but the member of staff who seemed to do reception, bar work and served us breakfast and dinner, made us very welcome. We stayed on a half board basis and couldn't manage to eat all the delicious food we were served in the evening. Breakfast very basic and Spanish but that was fine by us. It is a nice change to stay somewhere with character. It is a dream location for walkers, and very peaceful at night. Only niggle this time, maybe because we were the only residents, was that the hotel public areas were cold as there was no heating on. A wood fire was lit at night where we ate in the bar are as the restaurant was closed up. Also the pool area which we used on both visits and had all to ourselves, could do with sprucing up

Not as described on web site.
Very disappointed. We were told that there was a balcony and it was only a window box! We booked for our anniversary and didn't get what was described. Bathroom was very basic and no bathrobes! No air conditioning although it said climate control. Long way to another town so no other restaurant near so had to use the one in hotel , road was a rather windy mountain road. Unless you like walking or cycling it is not suitable .

Vildmarkshotell med trevlig personal
Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal som visade stor omtanke. Hotellet är gammalt och rustikt men med modernt badrum och bekväma sängar. Det kan vara lyhört som i alla hotell men hotellet är omgivet av skog och stillhet som gör att man sover bra. Alldeles utanför hotellet finns flera vandringsleder och hotellet har en karta som visar lederna. Hotellet passar för naturintresserade som vill vandra i skogen och bergen. Hotellet ligger ca 20 minuters bilkörning från Marbella. Frukosten är enkel men med färskpressad juice och gott bröd.
