What a fabulous stay! The hotel is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and has a lovely atmosphere. Our bedroom was of the same high standard and really exceeded our expectations. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good - plenty of fresh bread, fruit, yoghurts etc.

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!
El Rocío is unique. On Saturday night it can get loud with all the revelry of the many brotherhoods there to pay respect to the patron, but Pepe and Antonio’s place is away from most of the action. I don’t know how they keep the rooms so clean with all dirt streets; no pavement anywhere.
Great birding in March.
Not like any other town in Spain; everyone decked out on horseback.
This is a secluded cabin in a beautiful location on the edge of El Rocio (but not in easy walking distance, the location on the map isn't quite right).
The owners have five gorgeous dogs who will be very keen to be your best friend! There are bee-eaters and azure winged magpies on the land. The location is ideal to explore the Donana national park.
The accommodation is in the heart of the town. Our room was a bit on the small side but had a terrace that overlooked the town's sandy square and the beautiful lagoon of the national park. There is also a large communal roof terrace with chairs and loungers. It would be hard to find better accommodation in El Rocio.
A beautiful hotel with a lovely setting.
Great location within El Rocio.
Room decor excellent.
Friendly gentleman on Reception who kindly gave us a room upgrade.
Great potential so with a better quality breakfast and improved customer service this should be a great option to stay in El Rocio.
Nice place to stay in El Rocio. The Casa Rural is beautifull and very autentic. It's located in a very quiet part of town within walking distance of restaurants, bars, the promenade and La Ermita del Rocio. Helpfull and friendly owner. Lot's off free parkingspace closeby.
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
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.
Lovely property in a great location right next to the nature reserve. El Rocío is a very unusual place, make sure you know what you are letting yourself in for.
Nice little hotel with coffee making facilities. The air con and shower worked fine and my room cleaned daily. Wi fi was ok too, my room was close to the hub.
The location is prefect located in the center of El Rocio. The rooms are cool and clean . And I could park in the front. Free coffee served in the lobby
