Friendly staff, great room in terms of style (subjective though) and size (large) of the room and attached bathroom). The village looks very unfamiliar and at about 10-15min from the sea shore by car.
This guest house located in a characteristic Andalusian-style house in Rocío offers elegant air-conditioned accommodations with private bathrooms. It is just 5 minutes’ drive from Doñana National...

The place is so different with a wild west sand avenues, next to bird filled marsh. The views across are spectacular, particularly with sunrise and sunset. It is so romantic to walk along the promenade, and then sit and listen to the sound of the marsh. The area has a magical feel that is only felt by visiting. I have been going for over 20 years on and off, although it has expanded, and changed, the local people are still friendly.
There are a range of restaurants, although you do have to look around if you are vegetarian or vegan, but there are 1 or 2 that do serve that kind of food. Two in particular stood out, Restaurante Casa Marcelo, and the helpful and excellent Jose. Food was amazing, unfortunately we only found it the day before we were leaving. If you are into meal, highly recommended. An excellent vegetatian restaurant, highly recommended La Canaliega.

What a unique place. No paved roads ( by design ) all sand.
What a unique place. No paved roads ( by design ) all sand. Horses, carts and donkeys. Fascinating and unique spot next to a National park. Weekends VERY busy and lively. Might be boring after a few minutes during the week. A town of less than two thousand people that can swell to a million during pilgrimages.
It’s like a carnival- never seen anything like it. Easy to walk around town.

It's the most unusual town I've seen where the "roads" are sandy as horses seem to be the preferred mode of transport. It's got the Doñana National Park tours available within walking distance of the centre (private and group tours) and a lovely square in front of the church overlooking a lake which fills with water in winter. Bird watching is a "must".

El Rocio, a surreal Andalusian town, left me awestruck.
El Rocio, a surreal Andalusian town, left me awestruck. The tranquil marshlands, wild horses, sandy streats and striking buldings create an otherworldly atmosphere. It's a serene haven amidst the vibrant region of Andalusia, where nature reigns and surprises around every corner.

We chose El Rocio for an overnight stay due to a trip between Tavira, Portugal and Málaga, Spain. We were very surprised to learn El Rocio was a horseback-riding hub and that its dusty streets and Western-themed houses seemed to come straight out of a Hollywood Western! El Rocio is a very unique town!

Wonderful surprise of a town.
Wonderful surprise of a town. Totally dedicated to horses and donkeys. All roads and lanes are sand (for horse feet) and nearly every building has wooden or metal railing to tie up your horse! Birdwatching paradise. Would be 5 out of 5 if the local council graded the roads to get rid of the bad bumps and holes. Not good.
The hotel staff saved our trip after our local guided tour guide canceled after we had arrived; the front desk called and made arrangements for us to join another tour company for the next morning. Knowing that, we were able to relax and enjoy walking around the hotel, listening to the bird songs and later had a wonderful dinner at La Boca, the hotel’s restaurant. The room we had was beautiful and so comfortable, making the whole experience enjoyable.
The property is very authentic and clean. Abraham and his family is so welcoming and helpful with organizing everything. If you want to organize horse back riding etc, Abraham will make a phone call and everything is all set. Parking is so easy and we love El Rocío! The hotel is located in a very nice quiet area near everything. We would definitely go back there again. Thank you!
The apartment is in a very large building near restaurants and the sites of El Rocío. It's clean, spacious air conditioned and fully equipped for cooking a small meal. The bed is very comfortable and the room is bright. Lola gave us great tips for the area
The location of the property and the parking which is available throughout the town. We had some great meals out at local restaurants.
The staff at the hotel were very friendly and the rooms were quiet and a nice temperature despite the baking heat.
The location if fantastic, in the middle of El Rocio. The hotel is very nice, all very new, really clean room, nice bathroom and most important very comfortable bed.
We did not use the breakfast so cannot tell how that is.
Everything about this hotel is special. This was my second visit more than a decade apart and the improvements to the hotel are just fabulous. The restaurant is top class. Staff are wonderful. 10/10
Facing the lake - clean, traditional. Friendly check-in. Fantastic view of lake, lakefront plaza and the cathedral from the patio. Fun to tromp through El Rocio’s sandy streets.
Owners very friendly and welcoming. Well appointed small apartment with sun terrace.
Well positioned to explore the nature reserve and coast. It was the best place we stayed in Spain.
Close to the lake. Staff.
El Rocio is like a western town, all sand and horse and carriage a common transport.
But it's also on a little lake with flamingos.
Great communication. Location and quality of hotel, good, for the price. Staff were welcoming, friendly, and happy to help. The hotel was kept very clean.
