Very nice hotel a regular for us

Review of El Chalet
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Dec 28, 2019via mobile
El Chalet, a family run 3 star hotel on a wonderful beach is very popular with locals and foreign visitors. Refurbished about 5 years ago with excellent rooms, particularly those on the top floors overlooking the beach. It has a superb terrace restaurant on the beach and excellent food- particularly Paellas. Young families will enjoy the ability to eat lunch in peace whilst the children enjoy the mini pool or the climbing frame on the beach in clear sight, just 15 metres from the restaurant when Mum and Dad enjoy a brandy or two.

Two sons, Pepe and Andreas, now run the hotel with good attentive staff. The rooms are clean with balconies and one with a large terrace on the top floor. Buses to nearby Cullera with its mountain top castle, or the station to Valencia pass the front door every 30 minutes.

It doesn't have a lounge as such,(as we would recognise one), but hardly needed in summer season.

We have been going for years, as have our children and grandchildren. Thoroughly recommended.

Even if we arrived earlier than the check-in time, the room was ready.
The room had a spectacular view on the beach and sea and it also had a really nice balcony.
Very relaxing atmosphere with easy access to the beach.
The location was not the best s it is not in the middle to Cullera, but 2km far away.
It is a good location if you just want to enjoy the sea and relax.
The hotel has also a restaurant which is always open and the food is really tasty.
The breakfast is served on the restaurant terrace. It is not a buffet but they provide you a lot of choises.
We definitely racommend it.

We saw rave reviews for this Spanish seafood restaurant on this site. So we decided to give it a try as our cruise ship Windstar docked at Cartagena port. We took a taxi which cost €10 from the port to the restaurant in about 20min. The road to the restaurant is one lane wide, winding and has no sidewalk. As we arrived at the restaurant, the taxi driver gave us his business card and told us to call when ready to leave. We were seated pretty quickly after about 10min wait. The restaurant is very busy with many local families eating there. So the food must be authentically Spanish. No waiter/waitress speakers English and there is NO English menu. The restaurant owner kindly came by and attempted to translate the menu a little bit. We understood enough to order a salad and seafood plater which I would call seafood medley. It has a bit of everything, shrimp, squid, cuttle fish, and several kinds of fish that I cannot tell its name. It turned out many tables around us also ordered this dish. The tomato salad was different but tasty. The fish plater was huge, tasty but on the dry side after a while. The real adventure came after we finished lunch. We asked a waiter to call the taxi for us and were told it would arrive in 20 min. Well, we waited for almost an hour and no taxi to be seen. It looked like we were stranded unless we were willing to walk under the early afternoon sun for close to 2 hours to get back to our ship. We finally took a chance and hitch hiked. So, the best review I would have liked to read when i was planning a visit is not worth going to this restaurant unless you have guaranteed transportation back out of this remote place.

This is a hotel with a great little restaurant a little off the usual tourist route and better for that. It is sited right on the beach and has lovely views. The staff are helpful and attentive. The food is typically Spanish with a seafood speciality. A bit expensive compared to other places but very good and worth a visit.

Comfy beds, spacious room, good view over the beach. En suite shower room spacious and clean. Nice balcony.

Safe in the room uses your own code number so no need to collect key, etc.

The only drawback was the noise from the bar below where a children's party was underway.

Will definitely return.

I would highly recommend this hotel, the location right on the beach is amazing and the rooms come with lovely balconies with sea views. The paella is a must! We didn't want to leave, we actually booked another night when we were there just because we enjoyed our stay so much!
