Hi Everyone,

Booked to go here on September 8th, anyone else going? It looks very nice from the brochure. Any comments about the hotel, trips etc would be appreciated. If anyone wants to exchange email addresses let me know, so that Just You can arrange that.

Thanks Sue

Hi Everyone,

I am thinking of going here in September and wondered if anyone has stayed in this hotel before and have any views. What is it like and where is it best to have a room? It looks very nice from the brochure. Any comments about the hotel, trips etc would be appreciated

Thanks Sue

:)

Hi Sue, I love this holiday to costa de la lux, I started going in June 2012, & September 2014, & again this June 2015, it's a great hotel, good food, trips are great Seville in a very nice city, I have been on the boat trip and the horse & cart, I enjoyed the horse & cart better as you see more of Seville. Hope this helps. Julie L

This is a very popular holiday, Sue, and a lot has been written about it on the Forum. If you go into "Search" and then enter "Costa de la Luz" you will come up with everything that has been said about the holiday - plenty to read through.

Hi Sue.

I was there in late September of last year. Very good hotel, good food and lovely staff. Everywhere spotlessly clean and the rooms are fine. I paid extra for a sea view with a balcony but I have to point out that the sea is a good distance away.

The beach is wonderful and stretched for miles. Watch out for mosquitoes at night though. Take a plug in and plenty of repellent.

I didn't go on all the trips because the humidity caused me some problems but don't let that put you off. Seville was VERY hot but a great city. We went on the horse and carriage ride which was lovely. Tavira, just into Portugal was a lovely little town.

Thanks everyone for all your comments, very useful. I really suffer from mosquito bites and so this is a bit of a worry if I decide to go in September, but it does look nice and I think I may get a sea view room as suggested by a few people on this site.

Costa de la Luz is really a lovely trip and the hotel is wonderful too. I went in May and had no problems with mosquitos.

Jaya, thanks very much, really looking forward to it, hotel has some good reviews here. I may give Seville a miss if its that hot, dont like it when it gets too hot when sightseeing.

Don't miss Seville. It is a beautiful city, and the trip includes what you could call a panoramic drive around some of the key points. There are some awesome parks, and when we were dropped off there wasn't a lot of walking. You end up at the Cathedral and there get your free time. Lots of tapas bars, and time for souvenir shopping. You can't get lost. :thumbup:

There is also a chance to go on a short river cruise( for which you pay extra) but the walking in the central city area is flat and it's a good chance to pick up some souvenirs. It's not a hectic city tour by any means.

Just make sure to take a bottle of water with you. 🙂

Thanks for the info, I expect I will change my view about Seville and go on it....
