I tried posting this yesterday but it seems to have gone astray so apologies if this appears twice.

I am considering booking Costa de la Luz for September/October. I notice that there are room upgrades available eg £80 for a front sea view. Can anyone who has done this trip tell me if paying the upgrade is worth it or are the standard rooms adequate?

Thanks

Jean

Hi Jean

I am going on the 18th June and have actually gone for that date specifically because there was still an upgrade available. A friend who went on the trip last year said that the rooms are certainly worth the money and that they sell out first. Certainly the other dates I tried for had none left.

Good luck.

I did this trip last May and I did not know that you could upgrade for a room with sea view so did not do so. But having said that I had a very big standard room with good views of the swimming pool and the sea from my room window. I met a lady who had a room with the sea view - the rooms were a bit closer to the sea. The sea is very near the hotel - you just walk across a short private bridge. I guess it would be worth upgrading if you mean to spend all your free time in the room, otherwise I personally would not do so. Hope this helps.

By the way you will have a great time as Costa de la Luz is lovely.

I have paid the extra for balcony room with sea view also as I am a light sleeper you sometimes hear noise from the swimming pool as on previous trips to other places. Going on the 11th June I will let you know what the room is like. Shame we have to pay extra for little luxuries but you only live once!!!

No my standard room did not have a balcony though others did. Even though my room faced the swimming pool it was very quiet. I used to have a brief siesta after the excursions and it was never noisy.

Thanks Jools and Jaya for your replies. Mmm, what to do? Jaya, did your standard room have a balcony? This is more important to me than a sea view.

Thanks

Jean

The other thing that my friend mentioned was that a couple of people with standard rooms complained about noise from the road. So if you don't upgrade it might be worth putting in a request for a room well away from it.
