Our 40th anniversary! We got a complimentary bottle of fizz!! It is a very nice hotel, albeit it could do with a refurb. Some of the paintwork in the room was very shabby but the room itself, with a balcony, was very comfortable. The little kitchen allowed us to prepare lunch every day and we even cooked two simple evening meals. The staff, to a person, were friendly asnd helpful. The pool is really nice and although a little chilly at first (it was February) was lovely and we used it several times a day, every day. Breakfast is good with a lot of choice. The sausages, scrambled egg, mixed veg and bacon weren't to my taste but given the choice it was fine. Lunch was good and the service led by Carlos was excellent. The lack of a bar in the evening meant that every evening meant a trip to the shopping centre (10 minutes), but with a huge amount of restaurants and bars there we ate and drank well. The grill which is part of the hotel was fine but we found it a bit impersonal. San Augustin is very much a Scandinavian resort and there were few Brits there, but just about everyone spoke English. On our last night I sat next to a Swedish family in an Italian restaurant in Spain. They ordered in English from a Croatian waiter! It is a short walk to the beach, but with limited mobility we didn't actually venture on to it. It is all very nice-looking though. The weather was superb every day - it's a great place for winter sun. The hotel has a "do not reserve sunbeds" policy but that was not enforced on a regular basis. Thus, by 9am most of the sunbeds were reserved and, sadly, we did it ourselves a couple of times. However, we learnt our lesson when our towels were taken to reception. Having said this, somehow Juan the lifeguard always found us beds and we had two every day.
