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. 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 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!
Great location for soaking up the atmosphere of El Rocio. Really felt you were right in the middle of everything going on. Our continental breakfasts were more than adequate and we were offered more drinks or food if we wanted. The man (sorry we didn’t ask his name) was pleasant, polite and did breakfast for us super early when we had to go on the Donana Park tour.
The location was fantastic in a very beautiful street near the main squares. El Rocío is a quite unique place and well worths a visit even if you don't go there for religion. The recepcionist, Rocío, was very kind. The room was bright and spacious and had a very nice terrace. The breakfast was quite reasonable for the price. Free parking on the street.
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
Friendly staff and amazing location in the centre of El Rocio with ample parking. We were able to access our room before noon. the next morning as we were going on an excursion they arranged for us to have early breakfast at their sister hotel nearby.
The location of the property and the parking which is available throughout the town. We had some great meals out at local restaurants.
The staff at the hotel were very friendly and the rooms were quiet and a nice temperature despite the baking heat.
The location if fantastic, in the middle of El Rocio. The hotel is very nice, all very new, really clean room, nice bathroom and most important very comfortable bed.
We did not use the breakfast so cannot tell how that is.
Great small hotel with character. Room was comfortable and quiet.
The receptionist was very helpful and the breakfast buffet was simple but of high quality. Great coffee, tostadas con olive oil, spreads and cold meats.
Good location in El Rocio and my room had a nice view overlooking the lake. Close to the church, museum and restaurants. Only 5 minutes walk from the tour company that does trips into the park.
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.
Owners very friendly and welcoming. Well appointed small apartment with sun terrace.
Well positioned to explore the nature reserve and coast. It was the best place we stayed in Spain.
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.
Close to the lake. Staff.
El Rocio is like a western town, all sand and horse and carriage a common transport.
But it's also on a little lake with flamingos.
