Used points to get a few free days here before our Airbnb in another city. Looked great from the…read morepictures so we figured why not save. Depending on what you're looking for and your taste, you might like this place. Unfortunately we didn't. The good: Cleaners are pleasant and good. Reception is helpful and on point. Hotel is a five minute walk to the beach. Has a pharmacy and small store on site for toiletries or other needs. Offers Pool and slides, mini golf, and craft activities for kids. The not so good: Two small elevators only and one was down for pretty much half our trip. You will inevitably be waiting for an elevator and have to take the stairs. The rooms are average and had some definite signs of wear. The unit, on one occasion, smelled terribly when we returned from the beach. Smell eventually went away. On another occasion the toilet had brown soiling at the bottom (feces? Rust?) whatever it was it wasn't us. Thankfully this last bit happened the morning we left. It is pandemonium at the hotel right when you check in through to check out. So many people everywhere. Families and kids running wild and without much order or decency. I prefer a calmer setting. They offer a free breakfast buffet at el apron, the restaurant inside the hotel. It is a lot of food but it's poor quality food. Yes you will gorge yourself, but you're in Spain and there is so much more out there for just a few euros, like decent tasting coffee. Tip: get to breakfast early at 8. Around 10 it is a mess and fight wading your way through so many people gorging themselves. Think OZ. The tapas bar connected to the hotel - where you get tickets to try free tapas and beer, is quite bad. It is self service which you wouldn't know until a waiter at the restaurant comes to tell you. I'm surprised by how bad the tapas were. You'd figure they'd wow you so you would actually want to eat there for dinner. A lost opportunity for the restaurant to get business, in my opinion. The beach is a short walk away. But it is crowded with the same people at the hotel - and more. Super busy. No room to enjoy. Debris and garbage everywhere. Tips: If you care about quality and can afford it, skip the buffet breakfast. An awesome churreria is only a ten minute walk away. He's a street vendor. Find him. It is excellent. Go early. There's always a line. There is a beautiful beach a few minutes' drive away - far better than the beach by the hotel. You pay for parking (minimal) but there is more space and the beach is incredible. The water quality is better as well (denoted by the blue flag). They have photographers on site not connected to the hotel but definitely in the hotel that do pictures and sell them to you for exorbitant amounts. You will be suckered into buying. It's nice if you want a memory of the trip. I was so thrilled to get to the Airbnb by the end of our stay. I can't say we would return to this hotel. I can see how it might fit other people's needs and they'd give it five stars. It just wasn't for us.

Great Place to stay! It's close to Rota and Cadiz. This place it's a little hidden Gem.read more

I have been getting services with Heba at Sesen Spa for over 2 years now!! I loveeee her work. The…read moreservices I have gotten are the Brazilian and the upper lip, both sugared from her homemade sugar wax. I also get my eyebrows threaded, which Heba has completely regrown my once butchered brows lol. My first year I would go and get sugared every 4-6 weeks. My second year I went every 8-9 weeks. I also only get my upper lip done about 3 times a year now... unbelievable, right?! Her sugar wax has worked wonders on my skin and hair. My hair has gotten thinner and more fine. I also have spots where hair doesn't even grow anymore!! Heba is the most attention to detail to person when it comes to her work. She takes great pride in making sure you don't leave until you look and feel perfect! P.S. she has the hands of a goddess so I would highly recommend her massages. She uses all natural oils & lights incense for the most comfortable, relaxing experience. She is very knowledgeable about the body and knows exactly where to massage if you're having certain troubled areas. I also love her hummus!! Made 100% from scratch. She will even tweak it to how you like it. I like mine spicy with lots of garlic!! Basically in a nutshell I would 10/10 recommend her!!

I WILL ONLY COME TO HER WHILE IN ROTA!!!!…read more I was searching for a quality spa service and I came across Sesen Spa. She specializes in all natural skincare, threading and sugaring for hair removal. I've done some research on sugar hair removal and read that it's better for the skin and less painful so I decided to give it a try. She is the FRIENDLIEST WOMEN, with a wealth of knowledge about skincare. She has done sugaring and threading for over 30 years. My Sugaring experience was Fantastic!!! I was nervous at first but she calmed my nerves by talking me though it. YES... it still hurt! But it was bare able, and it was quick. I was told that I wouldn't have to come back for for 8 weeks after this so that makes me VERY Happy! If you would like to try her services you will pay 50 Euro for Bikini sugaring. ITS MORE THAN WORTH IT. I mean. 2 MONTHS!!! 50 Euro is a pretty damn good price!! If your looking for a quality experience with and sugaring expert. OH she is Certified!! GO SEE HER! You will not be disappointed!!!!

I had very little time to spend in Cadiz, yet a whole lot to see. It's a shame that I didn't get…read moreto spend more time in Cadiz; it was by far one of my favorite cities in Andalucia because the tourism is less commercialized and the city is just less congested overall. Never once did I feel like I was getting ripped off for dinner or had to wait in a long line at the entrance of the museum. Spa Senator, on the other hand, is a different story. I paid approximately 95 euro a night for a single occupancy room; by European standards, Spa Senator is probably a 2 or 3 star hotel (but is advertised on the website as something much fancier - a 4 star hotel). The lobby has a kitschy Andalucian vibe, with faux-arches, a fountain, and azulejos tiling. The furniture and upholstery in my room felt old, but I managed to get a good night's sleep. The room was spacious for European standards and had an (overpriced) minibar and a TV. At least the fan and ventilation system worked - Cadiz in July can be best described as oppressively hot. All of the employees that I interacted with were hospitable and friendly. Hotel Spa Senator's location, however, was perfect for my short visit and the primary reason why I booked this particular hotel. The hotel is about 5-7 minutes away from the Renfe station, which made my arrival and departure hassle-free. Most of the sightseeing (the cathedral, the museum - which I would highly recommend!, and the various oratories) is about a 10 minute walk away. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area, so there was no need to partake in the hotel's overpriced breakfast and because Marypaz was having a sale, I may have bought a pair of shoes (oops). Hotel Spa Senator was just right for what I needed - a bed to sleep in and a convenient location for a quick visit.

The hotel was okay…read more But beware, if you are contemplating using the Internet for any reason (including email) while staying here, and want to have access to Wi-Fi, you will get absolutely horrible service. You will be given, if working, free access, such as it is, to Wi-Fi for 48 hours. It works so poorly that you would think you were using the Internet from the old AOL dial up days of 20 years ago. You might was well forget it. You will have access to Wi-Fi, but if you try to open a page, send an email, download something from the web, it might take five minutes or more. It's a total rip off and is inexcusable -- the hotel is obviously trying to save money on the Internet access it provides to guests. This one aspect of the hotel's so called amenities almost ruined my trip. I had brought my laptop with me on my trip to Spain and was counting on getting work done during the nighttime hours while in my hotel room.
