For a different experience on the Spanish coast this is a place to try. The hotel is a little tired but is clean and reasonably well equipped. BUT the reason to stay here is the food. The hotel is run by a french family and the food is a class apart from normal Spanish restaurant cuisine. For dinner we had... More

I had booked one of the cheaper rooms as was traveling alone. It cost 49 Euros with breakfast. I appreciate this is quite cheap, but compared to other rooms I have had for this price, it was very poor value. The room was tucked around the back, dark and dingy, with dreadful Cabo El Gata posters as pictures: who wants... More

We came here as a family on a wet february. When we arrived we were greeted in a friendly manner and shown to our rooms. Very comfortable typically spanish so dont be expecting no mod cons. The area itself is lovely beautiful walks and lovely beach. The evening meal was absolutely fantastic. We had homemade chicken liver pate with bread... More

This hotel is ideal for romantics with huge appetites (for food!). Agua Amarga is a small, cute seaside village with boats parked up on the beach, like something you’d expect to find on a Greek island. The Family Hotel is next to the beach which is perfect for lazing on a sunny day in early January in the driest climate... More

Just got back from another night away at Hotel Family. We live in Spain and not very far from Agua Amarga but whenever we feel like having a special meal out we come to Hotel Family for the special rate they offer for one night bed and breakfast and evening meal for 89 euros per couple! We have been five... More

Our party was five in number. Two couples and a single staying overnight to celebrate my birthday on 13 October 2012. The hotel has only nine rooms. Five are upstairs and four at ground level. It is a beautiful little place that has a very calming atmosphere. It is tucked away just behind the beach in a tranquil and secluded... More

We've stayed at Hotel Family several times over the last 7 years and have found Marc and his parents to be most hospitable. This is a great value hotel within 3 minutes walk of the lovely beach and sea and the village of Agua Amarga, which itself is a jewel in the region. Some great walks from behind the hotel... More

I stayed at Hotel Family with my boyfriend for a week in June 2009. I originally chose it because I could not afford the other accommodations in Agua Amarga, and because I could speak with the owners in French (I don't speak Spanish). We were so much more than satisfied with our experience. The room was small and simple, but... More

Lovely hotel in pleasant surroundings. Lots of variety for breakfast - plenty to eat but it felt ´healthy´ at the same time. Being on a budget we booked the two cheapest rooms but these were perfect for our needs - at the rear of the hotel with a shared porch and small patio with swing seat, great on a scorching... More
