If you purchased tax free items the you have to claim your refund at the airport, and it's located in the far back right of terminal 1. That process was straightforward - kiosk and then check in with a staff member, who told us our refunds would be automatically issued. Check in with United was also quick. Clear signage towards security which was also a smooth process. Overall, minimal wait times to get through the airport. Huge Duty Free as soon as you get past security. Definitely spent a good hour here shopping for items. Picked up Spanish wine, some duty free exclusive gin, snacks, and jarred goods. Signage towards gates was also clear and easy to follow. Quick stop by the lounge and then made it to our gate as they were boarding. Overall smooth experience.

Disregard the note on their site that check-in is not 24h - I contacted them to confirm there's always someone at the front desk. Unfortunately they didn't respond to my question about how to find them within the airport. Assuming you're staying in between flights, you'll have to exit and then re-enter security. To find the hotel, go down to the main floor where families meet arrivals and then back through the cafe area to the back wall. To your right (after the Caixa bank) there should be a set of doors and walk way leading to a new building with the Business Center, which is where the hotel is. Our room reeked of unidentifiable food from check-in through the morning, so much so that I was worried it would permeate my hair and clothes. We were also greeted by several flies in our room. There is no duvet, only a sheet. To suffice, we pulled out a nasty blanket from the closet and laid it on the lower half of the bed. The shower door doesn't close and its lining isn't sealed tight so water leaks out, covering the entire bathroom area. The hair dryer overheats and shuts off after ~30 seconds, which means it took 20 minutes (mostly waiting time) to dry my hair. The room is actually not too tiny, even for 2 people. So if you've got a quick turn between flights, it may be worth sucking it up (and forking over the $$$). But if I had to do it again, I'd rearrange our itinerary and stay offsite.

I still don't know...). Let me explain: - Family vacation for 1 week - We reserved the car online (SITE: VIPCARS) and offered a good price, but then when we arrived at the agency counter, in my case 30 minutes after the drop-off time, I was informed that they no longer had my car available, but that they would have to upgrade it and that I would have to pay practically double for another vehicle. Furthermore, they wanted me to take out full coverage insurance at the counters. I had also paid for full insurance on the VIPCARS website and would have to get new insurance again... After my insistence and dissatisfaction, they started telling me they wouldn't rent me any more cars and that I should contact VIPCARS, because they weren't obligated to rent me the car and even thought I was being rude. I contacted VIPCARS by phone, and they told me there was nothing they could do and that I had to figure it out... INCREDIBLE...! Unable to find a solution, I contacted another operator at the airport, SIXT, which did me the favor of getting me a car at the last minute, despite paying €530.

His English was very hard to comprehend at the counter. We had to drill into questions to understand what he was saying. He explained about a credit hold for 84 euros for gas if we did not return the car with a full tank. But when we were on the road, I got a charge alert for 284 euros additional, which caused consternation. Apparently, they ALSO put on an additional 200 € hold for miscellaneous until you return the car undamaged. He did not mention this. The car was filthy outside but clean enough inside . Now the car was a new Volvo SUV and it handled very well and was a pleasure to drive . The return at the airport went well, the rep spoke excellent English and said the extra " hold" of €284 would be removed immediately . He was surprised the first rep did not explain this. So were we!

After having our flight canceled, hours of waiting at the airport, a super long line to figure out rescheduling, then next steps and all the frustration that comes with a canceled flight, we were able to book for the same night and be in a clean and comfy room and super cool hotel. It's super conveniently located with all the things you need to get some rest between flights. Things like room service and breakfast buffet are available for additional cost while a complimentary shuttle is available. Pro tip, be sure to reserve right away your shuttle ride to the airport as these fill up pretty quick during certain peak times. Overall, would absolutely recommend if you need to sleep near the airport or if you miss a flight or get it canceled like we did. Clean and comfortable facilities and basic room to get a peaceful rest.
