Further details for this holiday hotel rental in Galicia, Spain

A Spanish golfing holiday with a difference: Meis golf course is only 15 minutes from the hotel. Set amongst the tranquil pine forests that cap the top of the mountain, this championship course is a fantastic venue to play. The tree lined fairways have many natural hazards as well as lakes and bunkers, making this a tough but rewarding 18 holes. Because you are in Galicia there is no starting your rounds a 5am to avoid the searing heat of the south and none of the queues either, just perfect hot sunny days through the summer and mild for the rest of the year. When you are done, relax in the club house and enjoy a glass of Albarino wine while soaking up the amazing views. We will be happy to book a round for you if required, of if you are in a society we can arrange your tour completely, playing at several local courses and arrange green fees, transport, and catered or self catering accommodation

Perfect Galician Getaway

Avanti Newbury UK
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Small hotels like this are hard to find; very clean and comfortable with just the amenities needed for a relaxing break - none of the excessive trappings of a 5* box. The hotel's location is part way along what is effectively a no-through road - so it's delightfully quiet 24/7. My room had a fabulous view overlooking the estuary out to sea. The hotel staff were lovely and as helpful as you could wish for. Children were warmly welcomed.

Food was good and fresh with a variety to satisfy any palate - and reasonably priced. Although typically Spanish - helpfully there's a menu printed in English. Breakfasts can be 'fuerte' (big and cooked) or light and fruity. Eating on the shaded terrace with the view across water and the occasional dolphin popping up to say hello - it doesn't get any better.

The beach areas just across from the hotel are well sheltered and very child-friendly. A beach bar sells refreshments and ice-creams - as does the hotel.

You need a car to get there; parking is not available at the hotel but there are some space nearby. There are a couple of other bars/restaurants and a pharmacy all in walking distance.

Walkers will enjoy the hills behind the hotel for some fabulous 'miradors' (views) across the surrounding countryside - it was empty whilst I was there. There are a number of cascading mountain streams you can follow and in which you can cool off! The local village of Combarro is fun and quirky with its narrow streets that meander down to the water's edge. And the rest of the Sanxenxo peninsular is easy to access.

Visiting in June - before the summer Spanish getaway in July August - was perfect. If you want to see Spain in a truer light then this Galician gem is not to be missed. It's not on the typical tourist trail, and thank goodness for that.

Would I return - definitely!

Wonderful get away

E&T Ireland
Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
August 1st - 8th 2009
We had a wonderful week in Hotel Caracol. Paco and his staff were attentive and generous to a fault. Our large bedroom and ensuite were spotless. There is no A/C but as the room overlooked the sea across the road it was unnecessary. The road outside is a cul de sac and is very quiet.
The food - fantastic. Breakfast was very good; fresh fruit, cold meat and cheese, eggs with bacon, warm bread, and orange juice. We ate in every night, fresh fish especially shell fish were wonderful, but also hake, sardines and octopus. The chicken and steak were also good.
An afternoon coffee may be accompanied by pieces of cake courtesy of Paco.
While Spanish and Gallego are the language of the house, Sally and John are very helpful, their local knowledge added greatly to our holiday.
You need a car the access the local city and lovely villages, the road are very good and driving is hassle free.
Very relaxing, if you must have a disco this is not the scene for you.
If you enjoy walking, watching the dolphins while you sip your evening drink, fishing from the pier, people watching, relaxing on the beach, in a pleasant homely atmosphere and at very reasonable prices then this is for you.

Paco, a Legend.

Realsa Leicester, UK
Review Submitted: April 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Hotel Caracol was our chosen destination for our 2008 summer holiday. Our two family party consisted of four adults and 3 children aged between 12 and 14.
We chose to take three rooms, dumping the kids in one and one each for the parents. Our rooms had fantastic views overlooking the sea literally 15 yards from the beech. The rooms are spotless and comfortable and I would have no hesitation in reccomending this hotel to anyone. After agreeing terms to use a friendly local's fishing boat for the fortnight, most days commenced with a couple of hours early morning mackerel fishing. Upon our triumpant return from the sea our catch was superbly prepared and served to the hungry mob.
That leads me to the breakfasts. Served daily by Paco and his darling wife on the terrace overlooking the beach. On most mornings our meal was interupted by the magificent sight of numerous dolphins playfully making their way up or down the Ria. what a superb sight and what a fantastic way to start the day. Our morning feasts consisted of enough bread, fruit, bacon, hams, local sausages, eggs etc etc to feed a small army. I promise you will never go hungry when Paco is around!
Days were spent either relaxing on the many splendid local beeches or discovering the wonderful surrounding areas such as Pontevedra, Sanxenxo and Combarro.The Cave Bar (not it's real name, but you get the idea) in Comabarro is a delight and must be used regulally! Expect to be treated to some of the finest tapas known to man. Meats, cheese, octopus, squid etc are all given freely and at lenghth. After a long day on the beech and an evening in one of the plethora of nearby bars and restaurants we would retire back to the Caracol. We soon discovered that to attempt an early night was pointless. Paco, owner, barman, waiter and all round legend and entertainer will have none of it! Like so many of the locals his generousity knows no bounds, and after a few days you will become accustomed to the plates of superb food, bottles of beer and wine that miraculously and mysterously appear.
The man just doesn't sleep. He is the life and soul at 2.00am and serving breaksfast at 8.00am! The level of customer sevice has to be experienced to believe. Nothing, and I mean nothing is too much trouble.
To sum up, Hotel Carocol is a little gem. An ideal base for any type of holiday, whether relaxing on the beech or discovering Galicia; Caracol would be hard to beat.

Watching Dolphins During Breakfast

pulpo Coventry, England
Review Submitted: August 23, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The hotel is a delight - off the beaten track but close enough to shops, beaches, restaurants etc. to ensure you don't feel too isolated. Large, clean rooms with, if you're lucky, magnificent sea views - literally the beach is across the road. The owner, Paco, is an excellent host, but be warned, he doesn't speak a word of English. The hotel and area in general are not populated by many English speakers, so a good phrase book comes in handy. We really did see Dolphins cruising across the bay on several occasions - both from our hotel window and when having breakfast on the terrace - an amazing experience.
This area has the advantage of having both costal and inland attractions - Pontevedra and VIgo are both worth a visit and only short drives from the hotel. Santiago de Compostela is a little further both well worth the effort.
The beaches in the area are beautiful - similar to Cornwall but usually with better weather! We did however have a couple of days of rain and it was chilly in the evenings so go prepared.
All in all it was an excellent holiday -we have no hesitation in recommending both the hotel and the area and would certainly like to go back there ourselves in the future.
