Comfort and simplicity! The ideal place to stay if you are travelling by car, as it is located at the edge of San Jose. It features a car park within the premises. Originally a farm that starred in Spaghetti Westerns this 4-stat hotel has loads of personality. Its swimming pool is simple and cool, the reception staff is kind and helpful, breakfast is fine, you feel at home!

We liked the location, it was at the beginning of town, ATM across the road, grocery shop across the road & in walking distance to the beach & restaurants, parking was very good. Staff excellent.

This hostel is an incredible find. Guests are warmly welcomed by Joaquin (hopefully I didn't butcher his name). The hostel feels super inviting right from the start. Located on a dead-end street with free public parking nearby, it's incredibly convenient. Rooms and the terrace are both surprisingly spacious and well-equipped. Everything is sparkling clean too. The whole place has this cool maritime theme, like a big ship, which is quite charming. Location-wise, it can't be beat. Super close to all the amazing beaches but also shopping, dining and bar-hopping in the area. To top it off, they even have a delicious little breakfast with good coffee and fresh juices, even though it wasn't advertised anywhere. Considering the price, location, and overall experience, this place deserves a perfect 10/10. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and affordable stay in San José.

Quaint squares with children's playgrounds and bars etc
Easy to walk around, downhill to the beach, then flat rest of the way
Parking limited, but we didn't have a problem
Quite a lot of steps plus handrails, for better views
Nearest bar, downhill, was excellent

Small Mediterranean coastal town in the Cabo de Gata National Park. Very attractive location with beautiful beaches and good bars and restaurants. However, we have only visited the town out of season (usually over Christmas) when it is very quiet, but by no means dead. It is a different story in mid summer when it is absolutely teeming with holiday makers

San Jose (out of season, as we've not visited in summer) is a delightful, low rise, old-fashioned looking place yet with some great (modern) restaurants, bars and cafes. I hope it remains as under developed as it is as it is a total gem on this built up coast. The Cabo de Gata natural park is simply stunning - if you have a car and drive 15 minutes west to the beaches out of town, you will be rewarded with long stretches of almost empty beaches (again out of season) backed by stunning agave plants and rock formations. truly unique and beautiful - long may it continue as a relatively unspoiled beauty spot.

We love San Jose. It's just gorgeous.
We love San Jose. It's just gorgeous. The only down side is that it's not easy to get to nearby places by public transport. It's easy enough to get from Almeria to San Jose though abd tge buses are comfy and reliable. Check out Bar Monsul. Great fun and good value for money. Lovely beaches but too cold in November for us to go in the water.

This resort is quiet
It suited us as we are a mature couple
This resort is quiet
It suited us as we are a mature couple
It is more expensive to eat out than surrounding areas however there are excellent restaurants in the resort
We had dinner in Casa Pepe which needs to be prebooked
By the harbour there are good seafood restaurants
Beautifully preserved cortijo in Hacienda style with very tasteful decor. Large rooms with terrace. Spectacular pool. Within walking distance of San Jose, but with the impression of being in the country. Good breakfast and ample free parking. Western film buffs will rejoice seeing how Sergio Leone used the cortijo as a location for his first Western. Absolutely unique.
This is the second time I’ve stayed at this hotel - it’s in a great location at the back of San Jose and a short walk into town … on its own stretch of beach which you can reach by walking down a few steps. Nice facilities and a lovely breakfast with great views of the bay from the dining room. Good cleaning lady too!
Location beautiful. Parking in garage was easy. Everything new and apartment well designed. Maria was extremely helpful. Nice to have a restaurant below the unit to have a nightcap. Lighting was great and plenty of electrical outlets. Would definitely stay there again.
Apartment was lovely, well located in a quiet area very close to the centre of San José. Easy to travel to the nearby beaches (Monsúl, Genoveses etc). Fabulous community pool we could also use. We enjoyed using the bbq. Excellent that we could park right outside too.
Everything was great. Very short walk to the beach, restaurants, supermarket, bakery. The hotel was clean. The breakfast was excellent. Price was very good in relation to the stay. It has an elevator. 24 hour coffee machine. Parking and the wifi worked well.
The apartment is close to the beach in San Jose. We picked the keys from a secret location. Very clean, with cleaning products provided. It was lovely to bring our small dog with his bedding etc, and the enclosed garden area provided security for him.
Great location in San Jose, a short walk from the beach and other amenities. Comfortable, clean rooms and a nice patio and terrace area. The bar is also a great thing to have although it is cash only. Overall, a great place to stay in San Jose.
Great hotel with lovely views of the sea from our terrace. Easy stroll into town. Room was great size and we enjoyed sitting out in the evening. Tasty breakfast and friendly staff. Amazing having a pool after a hot day out!
Situation directly overlooking the sea, also very central for San Jose restaurants, bars and beach. Very spacious outside terraces. Well equipped. Located in a beautiful area within the Cabo de Gata national park.
I can't imagine a better place to stay in San Jose. The location in perfect, the apartments are spacious, bright and super ventilated. Carolina and Vanessa are lovely people, very kind, friendly and helpful.
Amazing comfortable mattresses and pillows, I slept better there than at home.
It was always super clean and the staff (especially the cleaning one) was super friendly.
Would repeat in San José.
Great location in quiet street. Clean spacious rooms. Easy to park a car in the street next to the hotel. Comfortable bed. Complementary breakfast was a pleasant surprise!
Location was excellent for walking around town. Restaurant/Bar in hotel. Good food and wine. Friendly restaurant staff. Rooms were large and comfortable.
