I stayed at Hotel Campestre in El Valle de Antón. The location is beautiful and very peaceful, with fresh mountain air and a relaxing atmosphere. If you are looking for tranquility, this is definitely a positive point.
However, there were some issues during my stay. The room keys are old-fashioned, and one day I was locked inside my room for almost an hour. Fortunately, I had the phone number of a taxi driver who helped me contact reception.
Communication can also be difficult if you do not speak Spanish. Only one staff member spoke good English, while most of the staff spoke Spanish only.
Breakfast was included with my room, but it was exactly the same every day, which became repetitive during a longer stay.
In addition, when the hotel hosts large groups or seminars, the evenings can become very noisy, which takes away from the peaceful atmosphere.
Finally, I found the room rates rather high compared with other hotels in El Valle that offer more facilities, including a swimming pool. Since there is no pool at this hotel, the value for money was not as good as I expected.
Overall, a pleasant and quiet location, but there is room for improvement in terms of facilities, maintenance, communication, and value for money.
