Wawa Tarifa

5 nights to repeat! We got to Wawa late evening by taxi from Tarifa. We were given a room in the main building but 1 night after, changed it to a bungalow to have a bit more privacy. All Super clean and comfortable. The building is nicely decorated and during night the sunset is lovely. To get to the beach, you need to cross the road by foot and that is something tricky sometimes. There is no pedestrian walk at all around there so you need a car/taxi. Breakfast (included with the room) has everything you need, and within a nice and accommodating timeframe. There are no cups for the coffee so you need to grab a glass. (That is something to improve). The fruit is fresh and delicious. We had 3 dinners as well. Price is moderate, portions are nice and big and taste is great. We recommend the fried squid and the pizza. Ismael, from reception, was súper giving advice on our next trip destination; Sala great waiter! and we got to meet the owners who were very smiley and friendly, even gave us 2 Wawa cups as souvenir. Thanks so much!

Octavio checked us in and was very friendly. We got a nice room facing the mountains. Very nice garden with olive and granat trees. Pool needs some update as you can see the paint is coming off. Very clean, comfy and cozy place. They offer complete breakfast, for my surprise tere was couple of warm dishes too. Only one negative point that you can hear everything what is going on outside your door. The rest was perfect, would come back.

This place is located about 5 km before reaching Tarifa (arriving from Cadiz) and was difficult to find, but maybe due to the rain or our old TomTom or because we figured out that it would be located beyond Tarifa.||||Ocean Tarifa is not what you would consider a ‘classic’ hotel, but neither would we call it a “lodge”. It consists of different small friendly looking houses, painted in white. It is a very young project with lots of opportunities which, at the time we were there (May 11 2017), was not yet completed. In fact people were still working to complete the garden and surrounding lawn so by now it will probably be even more attractive.||The complex is conceptualized by young enthusiastic people. That is what we believe because the staff consisted of mainly friendly young men and women. ||We stayed in the ‘main house’, larger than the other houses and with several rooms. The corridor on the first floor and the rooms were made of ‘minimal’ simple material but set up really very originally.||By chance that evening a special evening party was organized with young people, coming from as far as 100 km far, and dressed very elegantly. We were invited for a drink. The next morning they apologized for the loud music which really had not bothered us. The breakfast was a delight as shown on their website.||||We can’t say much about the sport aspects of this place. We were directed to the nearby ocean which is known to be the place to be for water activities. What was going to be a 15 minutes walk took us much longer. Never mind but the road was actually not so safe, so keep in mind to use the side path as much as possible. All by all, a new and good experience.

Location: Located 10mins out of Tarifa City - around 10-12€ in a taxi - Wawa Tarifa is in a beautiful setting with a giant hill (to small to be called a mountain) behind the property and over looking the beach situated across the road.||Service: Although reception was not open when I arrived, the staff of the hotel were as helpful as can be. Erika was able to check me in and made sure I was comfortable while my room was being made up. The restaurant was not open for dinner being the Off Season which was annoying given the cost of a return taxi to Tarifa. Breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold items, but no staff attending the restaurant.||Cleanliness: The room was very clean with crisp sheets and spotless bathroom.||WiFi 🤣: 📶📶📶📶📶||Conclusion: Staying here in season would be best as you have the facilities to take advantage of and potentially save on taxis to and from the city. The room was beautiful with a large full shower not in a bath, the bed was comfortable and I certainly recommend the beach view rooms.

Very well positioned hotel within walking distance to main surfing spots and within 5 min walk to the beach. For spain an excellent breakfast both terms of quantity and variety. Good rooms with space, balconies and generous bathrooms and for me good beds and pillows. Stars off for: - the very poor doors to the rooms; zero soundproofing from the doors. There was thankfully not too much going on so it was quiet both in the corridor and the bar, but when someone walked by I had the Impression they were in my room. - Secondly, rooms facing the mountain get the kitchen odors as soon as the wind drops. Not cool. - Finally, the bar and restaurant while nice and of decent quality are massively overpriced! 11€ for a mojito in spain is nuts, but thankfully there are many options close by.

I like this kind of hotel, its in more vintage style and sitting in the main house it has a very warm touch. In the morning when the music is playing softly It has a special feeling of holiday. The breakfast is sufficient, the bread taste well and the musli as well. The only improvement is a coffee automate to prepare cappuccino and a stronger coffee. Thats it. The people are very, very friendly and you always you get a warm Ola …thats why I get a good welcome feeling, not anonymous as in other hotels. .Surprisingly for a small hotel you can get warm meals in the evening and the spare rips are tasting fantastic, never had so soft spare rips, nor in bavarian nor in cape town. Reaching the strand in 10min walk aside the street or in 1-2 min by car. The rooms are from smaller size, the bathroom and shower big…the only recommendation I can give is in the bathroom 2-3 hooks more to hang on your stuff, the same in the sleeping room…but thats it….

We booked (4 friends) into the family bungalow, 2 bed rooms and a sofa bed, just for 1 night. We were very happy, comfortable, clean and just perfect for what we required. ||The reception staff and restaurant were pleasing and very helpful, breakfast varied and delicious!||2 minute drive from the beach.||Would definitely recommend!

Hi. First the positive. Bungalows are ok. After that I think everything goes downhill. You pay for 2 things : lodging and food, if one of these is not up to standard it’s not worth it. You can find here the worst quality of food of the coast of Spain. Every product is industrial with no taste. Don’t try the coffee or juice. What you want is local, organic and fresh produce which are available but not here...
