Hotel Fuerte Conil-Resort

Just stayed at the Hotel Garbi in Conil for four days at October half term (UK) and it was great. We had really good weather but the location of the hotel and the helpful friendly staff made the stay really cool. The hotel is situated on a cliff overlooking a brilliant big sandy beach which has fantastic waves and a bit of surfing. The pool is large and kid friendly and when we went was largely our private pool with barely anyone else there. There's quite a bit of garden between the hotel and the cliff edge walk that goes along the spectacular coast. We had half board. Both breakfast and dinner were buffets with a huge selection. Dinner was particularly good as this is a Spanish resort and so caters for Spanish food tastes so there was various fish dishes, meat dishes, on one occasion prawns and mussels, lots of salad and a large selection of desserts. The staff were very helpful and if you don't have Spanish, key staff have English. My wife is a coeliac and she's never had such choice of gluten free options. The chefs took her round every dish explaining what she could and couldn't eat and then cooked some chips specially for her. This is a large tourist hotel and in high season will be busy and would not be for us. But outside of high season the superb location, great food and lovely staff made this a brilliant holiday. Our kids ate for Britain and were never out of the water - pool or beach. And ssshh...it's also very reasonable. What more do you need? (Tip: if you drive you don't need the hotel parking there's tons of free safe parking right outside the hotel and in adjoining streets)

“Fuerte Hotel and Conil - The best holiday package I have had from UK for a long time”

Stayed here in the second half of October on a great half board deal with Jet2 from the UK and was blown away by how good the hotel and the town of Conil de la Frontera is.

Stayed here in the second half of October on a great half board deal with Jet2 from the UK and was blown away by how good the hotel and the town of Conil de la Frontera is. Clean, spacious, the staff work really hard to make it a slick efficient experience. I requested a quiet room and was in the separate block. The room, hotel and town were so peaceful - no music blaring round the pool here. The food in the hotel was very diverse with lots of spanish options and over the course of 7 days I didn't feel any particular repetition to the evening main meal choices. The pools, were a comfortable temperature, the sun loungers cushioned and comfortable, and the towels fit on ALL of the lounger. The bar prices were very reasonable and equivalent to mid price places in the town. e.g. 3.50 euro for a glass of wine. The hotel is around a 15 minute walk from the town, and there are lots of routes via the beach and town - and lots of great places to eat. I was glad I was half board because it meant I could try and different place in town for lunch every day. So many places I still wanted to try - even in low season - so hopefully I will be back. Main tips 1. If mosquitos find you tasty - it's worth bringing repellent/anti histamine etc. It was no problem in the day - but I did get bitten a few times in the evening if I spent too long outdoors 2. If you are British its worth knowing a few phrases in Spanish more so for going around the town, but you will be OK if you don't know any. I found quite helpful learning the german for "I am in English", for the steady stream of tourists asking me questions

“Friendly stay”

We arrived on the opening day of the season on a very wet and breezy day. Check in / check out is an absolute nightmare.

We arrived on the opening day of the season on a very wet and breezy day. Check in / check out is an absolute nightmare. Despite having 3 people on the front desk we waited nearly 20 minutes to check in and 20 to check out. The information gathering is bizarre and the time it takes is frustrating. There was also a bit of a damp smell throughout the hotel but this is understandable as the hotel has been shut for many months. The gym wasn’t really a gym and the few machines are a little dated 2 of the 3 lifts were out of order which is poor form for the opening day of the season On a positive the hotel was clean, staff were brilliant, huge bar area that was reasonably well priced for a hotel and had a friendly feel. Breakfast was self serve and brilliant. So many options and the staff were friendly and attentive. Our room was clean and beds were comfy, air con worked well and a giant fan above the bed would be great in the summer. The bathroom was well equipped albeit the shower was a little weak. The location was good as only a few hundred meters from the city centre and has a great pool area and has direct access to the beach (just a shame the weather meant we couldn’t enjoy the facilities) Whilst my review has a negative undertone I am probably being a little picky and I did enjoy my stay and I certainly will return when next visiting Conil.

“Pleasant and very good hotel, with great garden and great seaview (beach very near). But needs some adaptions.”

I visited Conil and this hotel for the first time in may 2025 (with my girlfriend). We found it (overall) a good/attractive hotel. In october 2025 i returned for a 3 weeks stay for an spanish course in Conil. Due to the closure of Fuerte Conil early november i had to stay two extra weeks in 3 extra hotels (all 4star hipotels: in Conil, Novo SanctPetri and Jerez). Looking back at Fuerte Conil: it has great rooms but replace the with stepin bath, more variations/themes of your meals (every day an other: spanish food, then italian, than asian, then mexican, then fish, then bbq, etc.), gym and indoor piscina open at 07.00 and outdoor piscina from 9.30 (use solars to heaten the grand outdoor piscina), keep open the hotel at least 3 weeks extra, put a microwave in every room (and/or rebuilt some habitions into somewhat bigger habitations with kitchenette). Also use some tapis (then the maletas makes lesser noise), and use more less noisy/clapping doors. Beautiful: your porch/wintergarden, but grade up your restaurant (but keep the authencity). And the quality and the presentation of the food can be better (take a look at the Barrosso Park restaurant / evening cenar).
