We stayed for 2 weeks and accommodation met the standard expected of a 5* facility, We have travelled to many places over the years so feel we can confidently share both the positive and negatives which will hopefully elevate the hotels ability to always seek improvements.
The first positive is there’s not many negatives😉

The hotel cleanliness and condition was very good and swipe test in key areas did not raise any concerns in he shared spaces.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay and we always felt help was at hand when needed.

The environmental credentials of the hotel were also to a high standard expected of a 5* facility but as always, improvements were evident.
For example, our balcony door did not close properly so when the air con was on the door leaked valuable cool air which obviously had an impact.
When we removed the room card which controlled the power to the room, it did not switch off for at least 30 minutes.
The telephone did not work, the cleaning staff should do regular checks of equipment during cleaning.
Our room was of a modern standard and regularly had a change of towels etc which we appreciated. The floor in bedroom and balcony were very dirty and obviously not cleaned properly each day, spent more time cleaning our feet when in the room!
Guest enhancement opportunities- complimentary poolside hydration and snacks during high heat. Free drinking water in restaurants.
I would visit again👍

Solo female traveller who stayed here in April '23. The place was perfect and better than I'd imagined. Big room with great balcony. Multiple places to roam and hang out - I personally went from pool to pool bar to beach to gym to buffet. ;) The staff were amazing - whether they were cleaners, servers, cooks, front desk, spa, lifeguards. Everyone was approachable and relaxed and warm and friendly. I loved the variety at the buffet and the quality of the food so much that I sent a video back home to friends to brag. The beach in front of the hotel is great. Whereas some hotels further down the strip can't see the waves from their beach loungers, at this hotel, you can sit in your lounge chair on the beach and look directly at the waves and walk straight in to the water. If you're questioning going, just do it! There's a reason this hotel is rated so highly. Bravo to the team!

I made a reservation at this property and then try to cancel it 10 hours later a week before I travel. They would not refund my money. I would never stay in one of the hotels again. I spent two hours on the phone trying to get a refund and even called their headquarters, a total of six calls.

Perfect seaside break

I was melting in Sevilla and decided to take a one day break to cool down and I am thrilled that I did.
The hotel rooms and grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the photos posted here do not do it justice, where every detail is thought about.The hotel obviously takes pride in it's beauty!

The room is comfy and the bathroom was nicely updated. Almost a shame to spend so little time in it.

The breakfast buffet was a huge hit, with so much choice and a lot of items cooked to order. It made me wish I had added dinner!

Another nice touch is their focus on helping the environment, where there is information in the room on what they have replaced/removed (especially single use plastics) to be more environmentally friendly.

Only negative - wish we stayed longer and I had to extracted from the loungers by friends.

The absolute best hotel experience we ever had. We stayed here for one night only, on our wedding anniversary. I let hotel know about it in advance, we got room upgrade when arriving (incredible corner priority view room) and also a nice surprise in the room when we returned from dinner. Excellent service, excellent dinner and breakfast, true 5 star hotel. Plus the amazing beach and blue Ocean water, all perfect!

A fantastic few days due entirely to the hotel and it's amazing staff. The weather was dreadful - rain much of the time and although our stay was all about the beach and the pool we still had a good time.

Nice and Quiet

The hotel, overall, was quite nice. You can tell that it's an aging property, but, in general, it is kept up well. It's pricey, but that shouldn't come as a surprise, given where you are. The spa is lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed our couples' massage there. The food and service were good. One issue that I have is that they charge for literally everything. You even have to get special dispensation from the front desk to use the safe in the room. I was rather surprised by that. Also, be aware that (at least in mid May), the average age of the clientele is 60+. That's the AVERAGE age. This was fine for my husband and me, as we're rather quiet people. But we learned - after our arrival - that there's only one bar open (in the hotel lobby) during this time period. Not sure when they open up the rest, but if you're looking for a party scene, this may not be the place for you.

Fabulous stay!

I cannot praise the Iberostar Andalucia Playa enough! Absolute luxury. The food was the best we have ever had and im sure i have put on at least a stone! Everyone was catered for. The grounds were immaculate and beautiful and had it been warm enough we would have loved to have gone in the pool.The room was lovely, and clean and big with plenty of hanging space and storage. Only one thing, the beds could have been more comfortable but once i had been given extra pillows, wasnt too bad. We did have a lot of trouble finding the place as Chiclana isnt on any signs until you are on top of it and then many roundabouts later to the actual hotel! Would recommend this to anyone!

My wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the Iberostar. Right from the complimentary orange juice at reception, through to the excellent meals in the restaurant. We could not complain about the price either.

The TV in the room didn't work, to be fair if we had said something I'm sure it would have been sorted but there was so much else to do we didn't really notice it.

Room not as described by Hotels.com

We paid extra for a sea view room rather than a side sea view room but were told that we had to pay again to upgrade again for a full sea view. Also the room description said there were jetted bath tubs but there were not. All in all the hotel was fantastic and the food was great despite my dissapointment over the room.

Don't pay extra for a sea view because you will only get a side sea view

Volvimos a este hotel porque en una estancia anterior nos había encantado, pero en esta ocasión la experiencia ha sido bastante decepcionante.

Nada más llegar empezaron los inconvenientes. Realizamos el check-in online previamente, incluyendo la digitalización del DNI, pero al llegar tuvimos que repetir todo el proceso, lo que lo hace poco útil.

El hotel publicita en su página principal que dispone de beach club, pero durante nuestra estancia estaba cerrado, mientras que el resto de beach clubs de la zona sí estaban abiertos. Es un punto importante que debería informarse con antelación.

En cuanto a la habitación, se indicaba “vistas al jardín”, pero en realidad lo que encontramos fue otro edificio del hotel a escasos 20 metros, con clientes comiendo justo debajo. Solicitamos un cambio en recepción y nos indicaron que el hotel estaba completo, algo que sinceramente no parecía ser el caso.

Además, comunicamos que estábamos celebrando nuestro 35 aniversario y no hubo ningún tipo de detalle, ni siquiera algo simbólico como fruta o una nota. Es la primera vez que nos ocurre algo así en un hotel de esta categoría.

Por último, y en general, el hotel necesita una actualización. Aunque tiene 5 estrellas, actualmente no está al nivel de otros establecimientos similares. Entendemos que hay prevista una remodelación próximamente, lo cual probablemente sea necesario.

En definitiva, una estancia que no ha cumplido las expectativas. De haberlo sabido, probablemente habríamos elegido o

Décevant

Nous avions réservé une chambre vue sur mer (pour éviter une vue latérale). Quelle ne fut pas notre déception en voyant les balcons de l'hôtel voisin et l'océan seulement en se penchant et au loin!
Et torticolis garantis...
Les moustiques et autres lézards ont fait le reste.
Petit déjeuner gargantuesque mais pas de bonne qualité dans une ambiance cafétéria très bruyant et pas toujours propre.
Pour sortir de cette enclave de la Barrosa, Cadiz est à 45 minutes en voiture.
Une fois installés, difficile de bouger ou alors il faudra prendre une excursion proposée par l'hôtel au prix fort.

Muy bien, mejorando unos aspectos sería de 10

Lo resumo por puntos:
- Ubicación: excelente. Se ve el mar y está a un pasito, realmente precioso y muy cómodo. (5/5)
- Diseño y cuidado: la piscina es preciosa, y el estado del hotel perfecto, todo bien. (5/5)
- Amabilidad: todo el mundo muy bien, nada negativo que decir, majos sin agobiar (5/5)
- Habitaciones: perfectamente arreglada, buen servicio, pero desafortunadamente el colchón estaba ya muy \"usado\" y se hundía y no daba el confort deseado. Igualmente la habitación requiere modificar el baño para cambiar bañeras por duchas, no tienen sentido las bañeras a día de hoy con la escasez de agua y cuando hay Spa y piscina. (3/5)
- Desayuno: buffet muy bien, el sitio genial y la presentación muy bien. Lo peor para mi es que no exista la opción de alojamiento sin desayuno, no nos gusta desayunar mucho y cuando vas a un buffet terminas picando de todo (4/5)
- Comida en el local: algún plato fallido, como el cazón en adobo, que no sabía adobo y el cazón estaba muy seco (3/5)
- Comida en el chiringuito de playa: decepcionante, no se puede dar una comida tan mala al precio que se cobra. Mal preparada, muy salada, mal frita. Realmente a mal nivel (1/5)
- SPA: pudimos disfrutarlo y ha sido muy agradable. Muy limpio, amplio, perfectamente cuidado, gran atención, MARAVILLOSO (4/5).

En conclusión: después de una estancia de 10 noches, mi puntuación es un 4/5. No le doy un 5 ni un 4.5 por: el estado de los colchones, chiringuito de mar y falta de detalle al check out.

Calme et très bien situé

Tout était très bien,surtout les repas,nous étions en demi pension et la qualité était au rendez-vous,pour l’instant le meilleur de Sancti Petri sur 5 hotels testés
Le point désagréable est le retrait des matelas sur les transats autour de la piscine (fausse excuse de covid puisqu’il y a des coussins sur toutes les chaises)
Dommage donc c’était vraiment un plus de confort et d’elegance
L’hôtel est face à la plage magnifique de la Barrosa et très proche du petit centre commercial ou l’on trouve de jolies boutiques et restaurants
Les chambres sont claires et spacieuses, en très bon état ,mais mériteraient une modernisation tout comme le mobilier du grand hall d’entrée
