I warn you that you will have to call the hotel directly or send an email to consult. I suppose they will give it to you, although, as I have read, I can tell you that to spend one night they charge you about 8.000 euros (I find it hard to believe...).

I've done it a couple of times and it's really worth it.

When you arrive by car at the hotel door, the reception staff at the parking entrance will usually let you in.

On one occasion it was not like that, because when I arrived there was a lot of “movement” and they did not let me enter; Then I found out that a visit from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain coincided with it.

Once inside, you can reach the very luxurious large room located in the center of the main building, and there you can sit to have a tea (3 euros) or, if you prefer, eat in its restaurant.

But what is really worth it is go out to the outside terrace and enjoy the impressive Panoramic views from the huge beach.

You will be able to see how the different suites of the hotel are distributed along the cliff, so that from all of them you can enjoy these excellent views.

From there you understand that at least part of its price may be justified.
