we stayed here for four of the most wonderful days and nights of our trip. the hotel, facilities, restaurants and people were all wonderful. the food at the restaurant was other worldly.
i must give a special recognition to one of the wait staff. a young lady from the netherlands who was doing an internship for a hotel management school. she should be hired full time and made a shining example of how to make a persons stay enjoyable

We stayed for two nights and everything was just perfect. Our room overlooked the bay; the food was delicious, the staff helpful, the pool just warm enough for swimming (this was in June 2010). We have stayed in many Paradors and this was definately up with the best. The only minus would be a more signs and bigger ones as it was difficult to find. Would certainly stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at this location and would the hotel recomend to our friends. Above all we want to say a great thank you to the woman at La tienda, the gift shop. She does not only speak german excellently, but could show us a lot of places on the beach and the countryside, where we should go for a visit. So the friendlyness of this woman was a great help for our planing-efforts.
Everything was fine at the hotel, even the food, which is – from our point of view – unfairly critized in some of the comments above.

We spent 2 nights at this location and had a wonderful stay. We have always enjoyed our times at various Paradors and this was certainly up to a very high standard with regard to location and room selection. The only disappointment, and it was a major one, was the food. My choice of ‘baby lamb’ was just a collection of bones dumped over a material that I determined might have started off as potato. My wife’s selection fared no better as it was chicken smothered in heavy gravy. However, this was the only downside of our visit. The grounds and the view from the room overlooking the cliffs and sea were heavenly. The staff were attentive and helpful. Highly recommended but eat elsewhere.

We are regular users of Paradors, and found the Aiguabrava one as good as always – helpful staff (we don’t speak Spanish) excellent room with beautiful view, superb dinner and breakfast. A pity we were only able to spend one night on our journey, but we will certainly be back to explore the area in more detail.
Paradors are not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for – most enjoyable.

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights from 17 October. The setting is wonderful and the hotel was clean and seemed efficiently run. The rooms facing south over the sea rather than the bay are definitely the best because of the sun and more open aspect. It was a pleasant and uplifting experience.
We enjoyed the food. The leisurely long breakfasts were superb with a good food selection including having eggs cooked to order about which few knew. I cannot understand others criticisms on this blog about the service. Dinner was a bit expensive and one might get bored of the standard menu after 3 or 4 evenings and so half board for longer is not recommended. In off season it is a bit of a drive to eat elsewhere and thus one person cannot drink.
One has to accept the classic 1960s style of the building. Internal design is good except there seemed to be alot of wasted space in a large room adjacent to the reception that itself is functionally designed and fairly cold, but not unattractive. It was too cold to go to the beach other than a quick visit. We would return. Recommended.

We stayed in the Aiguablava Parador two different times on our trip. Once in September and finally in early October 2010. The location is absolutely as beautiful as the photos and the service was very helpful. The breakfast buffet is lovely. The walk down to the beach is very easy and the water, of course, was beautiful! I would highly recommend a stay at this Paradore!

My wife and I stayed at Argomaniz, Almagro, Ayamonte, Javea, Mojacar, Nerja and Aiguablava.
Special remark : I am disabled and sitting in a wheel chair.
Reception at the Paradores, the help I received, the kindness of the staff, the accomodations (room, swimming pool and garden with special thanks to Parador Nerja, restaurants) were all outstanding!
Everyone was super friendly and very helpful. First class. I became a real amigo of the Paradores.
Thanks to all.
