Hotel Hacienda Montenmedio

This is a very charming small hotel where every guest feels special. Rooms are quite big and beds are super comfortable. We love staying here when we come to compete at Sunshine tour. It is actually a walking distance to the show ground. I wish they had a charging station for electric cars though.

Hotel itself was great. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was amazing. However don’t eat up at the golf course. We spent 312 euros and did not eat 3/4 food. We spoke several times to the front desk and they kept saying they would sort it out perhaps comp 1/2 the bill or something. Nothing was ever done. Not worth the money. Food was not good.

Great place for friends to spend a golf vacation. The common areas are fun to spend time together in. Excellent place for an extended golf vacation, challenging 18 hole golf course, friendly helpful staff, not overcrowded. Easy to drive to restaurants in the area. 20 minutes from the beach at Zahara.

We were lucky enough to stay here for 10 days when we never saw a cloud which obviously helped to make our experience so enjoyable. ||The Hacienda itself is lovely, and situated in a very peaceful location. The rooms were nicely furnished and well kept.Nice to have heat available in the winter months as it can turn chilly in the evenings.||The staff were all very friendly and helpful particularly as one came to know them better. ||Yes breakfast was sometimes a little haphazard but in some ways it added to the enjoyment. Cooked breakfast was always available if required as well as freshly squeezed orange juice. ||It is difficult to know what to suggest to make the restaurant more attractive and busy in the evenings. There are so many excellent restaurants in Vejer, 10 minutes away, that the hotel restaurant probably has to be more competitive with its pricing policy to encourage people to stay in or maybe even offer a half board option. The kitchen facilities are all there and it seems a shame not to optimise them. The 3 meals we had were all very enjoyable.||We loved visiting the towns of Cadiz, Jerez, Medina Sidonia and of course, in our opinion the most lovely of all, Vejer with it's narrow streets to explore and, as I have said its' superb restaurants.||One should also visit the wonderful beach of Bolonia with its' Roman remains.||To finish our day, we loved walking round one of the most lovely golf courses I have ever seen, unique in Spain because of the complete absence of houses or appartments. The bird life was fascinating with Black Ibis. egrets, cranes, and many other species around.||Finally, I would like to thank Anna, the chief receptionist, and all her staff for helping to make our stay so enjoyable.

It was our second stay at Hacienda de Montenmedio. ||Unless you are prepared to spend the extra €20 for a "junior suite" the rooms are totally dated and look and feel like monks cells and are just about as welcoming! I did pay the extra €20 and obtained on both occasions (after needing to insist) a more modern room which is sold under the pretence of a junior suite, because there is a very tiny sitting area. The room in question is so tiny, you couldn't swing a cat inside it. As for the bathroom it is absolutely minuscule too. The greatest disappointment comes with the breakfast. On both occasions we visited this hotel, we had to ask the staff to clean-up the tables previously occupied by other customers and with coffee stains, bread-crumbs, etc... (I don't believe it is my responsibility to remind waiting staff what to do in a hotel). The selection available is absolutely pathetic. The noise level is extremely high and not helped by the waiters noisily clinking cutlery all the time. ||The golf course is very pleasant.

I was horrified to have someone enter my room through the window whilst I was having breakfast. They went past various valuables (including my wallet) which I'd left highly visible on the bed that morning, ready to take with me for the day. The thief went to a zipped up handbag in the cupboard and stole a very significant amount of cash and my passport - they were in the same envelop. The thief must have had prior knowledge of the money's location. A random search by an opportunist thief would have taken the money from my wallet and other valuables before finding the cash they stole. And how did the thief know I had left my room if they were not told by someone from the inside? You can not see my door from the outside of the hotel. Someone spending time looking in through the window from the hotel lawn when I could just be in the bathroom sounds rather risky to me.||||Later that day I noticed the window was in a open lock position so it could easily be slid open form the outside. I got the hotel staff to show them this. They fiddled with the lock then told me there was no problem - I saw them switch the latch but they denied it.||||There was one pretty abrupt and rude receptionist, who acted as if I lost a €5 note whilst out and about that day! She was very unhelpful in guiding me to the local police station and with all other arrangements I had to make to postpone my trip home as I had no passport. Unbeknown to me, my credit card details were not saved for my extended stay. That night, this receptionist called the restaurant staff and told them not to serve me. The restaurant staff did not know why, just said this was what the front desk called to say. It was incredibly humiliating in front of the other guests. All someone needed to do was either ask me to pay up front or ask for my card again.||||The hotel was clean, but the rooms smelt musty and like they are not used that regularly. Tea / coffee facility in the rooms would also have been a great and simple addition, especially as I was leaving early most mornings (but not the morning described above!!) and was told although I had to pay for breakfast, I was not allowed into the breakfast room 15 minutes early to make myself a coffee or take a croissant away with me. I thought I might be allowed to take some fruit on the go if I waited until their opening time of 7.30am, but was once again stopped as I left the room and told to hand back the apple. And to add insult to injury, the morning I stayed later and had breakfast, was also the morning I spooned some very large creepy crawlies out of the jar of strawberries. I quietly mentioned this to the waiter so she could deal with it subtly, and although she picked up the strawberry jar, she simply put it back on the table in a different place without clearing it out - I could even see other insects in there!!||||I have never complained about any hotel like this before. It took 4 days for me to see the manager. If he and the hotel had apologised for what happened and said they would look into it, I would have felt totally differently - and even had some sympathy for them. But a total lack of engagement from the staff and manager, and only defensive conversations leaves a very unsupported and bitter feel to the whole sorry situation. The manager refused to answer any of my questions and just kept repeating the same sentence - saying it is usually a very safe area. A passer by would not have thought we were in the same conversation! I was made to feel it was my fault and nothing to do with the hotel. I have since heard rumours this is not the first time something like this has happened at this hotel, although I have no evidence for this statement.||||Really, really not good and I have never experienced anything like this before.

we stayed here 4 nights in a very quiet room. Sleep and siesta. Good athmosphere and very friendly personnel. Thank you Maria. A minor imperfection was almost immediately repaired. A lovely place situated in a park with peacocks visiting at the breakfast table. Breakfast was a bit minimal, but with very good coffee and fresh orange juice. And very friendly service.||The area is beautiful and we,ll certainly be back.||Have fun and drive carefully.||Frederik.

A wonderful hotel in a superb rurel location. The hotel is difficult to find at night and my sat nav was of no help. But that is the only bad thing I can say about the Hotel Hacienda. ||||Well trained friendy staff, traditional well appointed comfortable roomes a traditional Spanish courtyard with water flowing, nice gardens and lots of places to set and relax in the sun.||||The public areas in the hotel are very comfortable and very equine with harnesses and tack in glass cases with horses photos and paintings hanging.||||The restaurant at first looked a little out of keeping with the hotel. But the staff are extremely good and helpful. The hotel serves first class home produced food and with good wine and all at a very affordable price.||||Breakfast was simple and very good with excellent fresh Orange juice. It was ||served by the the same team as dinner so lots of smiles and very professional.||||Would I go back yes and hopefully not for work next time.
