Super friendly owner. They were remodeling and went out of their way to compensate for a little debris. We were invited to a lovely dinner with the family and had a great time. No question i will return whenever in the area.

The place is so different with a wild west sand avenues, next to bird filled marsh. The views across are spectacular, particularly with sunrise and sunset. It is so romantic to walk along the promenade, and then sit and listen to the sound of the marsh. The area has a magical feel that is only felt by visiting. I have been going for over 20 years on and off, although it has expanded, and changed, the local people are still friendly.
There are a range of restaurants, although you do have to look around if you are vegetarian or vegan, but there are 1 or 2 that do serve that kind of food. Two in particular stood out, Restaurante Casa Marcelo, and the helpful and excellent Jose. Food was amazing, unfortunately we only found it the day before we were leaving. If you are into meal, highly recommended. An excellent vegetatian restaurant, highly recommended La Canaliega.

What a unique place. No paved roads ( by design ) all sand.
What a unique place. No paved roads ( by design ) all sand. Horses, carts and donkeys. Fascinating and unique spot next to a National park. Weekends VERY busy and lively. Might be boring after a few minutes during the week. A town of less than two thousand people that can swell to a million during pilgrimages.
It’s like a carnival- never seen anything like it. Easy to walk around town.

It's the most unusual town I've seen where the "roads" are sandy as horses seem to be the preferred mode of transport. It's got the Doñana National Park tours available within walking distance of the centre (private and group tours) and a lovely square in front of the church overlooking a lake which fills with water in winter. Bird watching is a "must".

El Rocio, a surreal Andalusian town, left me awestruck. The tranquil marshlands, wild horses, sandy streats and striking buldings create an otherworldly atmosphere. It's a serene haven amidst the vibrant region of Andalusia, where nature reigns and surprises around every corner.

We chose El Rocio for an overnight stay due to a trip between Tavira, Portugal and Málaga, Spain. We were very surprised to learn El Rocio was a horseback-riding hub and that its dusty streets and Western-themed houses seemed to come straight out of a Hollywood Western! El Rocio is a very unique town!

Wonderful surprise of a town.
Wonderful surprise of a town. Totally dedicated to horses and donkeys. All roads and lanes are sand (for horse feet) and nearly every building has wooden or metal railing to tie up your horse! Birdwatching paradise. Would be 5 out of 5 if the local council graded the roads to get rid of the bad bumps and holes. Not good.
The property is very authentic and clean. Abraham and his family is so welcoming and helpful with organizing everything. If you want to organize horse back riding etc, Abraham will make a phone call and everything is all set. Parking is so easy and we love El Rocío! The hotel is located in a very nice quiet area near everything. We would definitely go back there again. Thank you!
El Rocío is unique. On Saturday night it can get loud with all the revelry of the many brotherhoods there to pay respect to the patron, but Pepe and Antonio’s place is away from most of the action. I don’t know how they keep the rooms so clean with all dirt streets; no pavement anywhere.
Great birding in March.
Not like any other town in Spain; everyone decked out on horseback.
Great location for soaking up the atmosphere of El Rocio. Really felt you were right in the middle of everything going on. Our continental breakfasts were more than adequate and we were offered more drinks or food if we wanted. The man (sorry we didn’t ask his name) was pleasant, polite and did breakfast for us super early when we had to go on the Donana Park tour.
This is a secluded cabin in a beautiful location on the edge of El Rocio (but not in easy walking distance, the location on the map isn't quite right).
The owners have five gorgeous dogs who will be very keen to be your best friend! There are bee-eaters and azure winged magpies on the land. The location is ideal to explore the Donana national park.
Amazing place to visit and amazing location by the lake, with exotic birds roaming around and so much peace and quiet. The rooms are very comfortable and chic, so much love to details and decoration. We really enjoyed our room and the food, in the morning and in the evening. Fully recommend the hotel, I wish we stayed a little bit longer.
The accommodation is in the heart of the town. Our room was a bit on the small side but had a terrace that overlooked the town's sandy square and the beautiful lagoon of the national park. There is also a large communal roof terrace with chairs and loungers. It would be hard to find better accommodation in El Rocio.
A very interesting city - a bit surreal and from another era.
The hotel is right in the centre of town, but you could drive your car up to the front door.
The host was very helpful - she translated and wrote all the information we needed in English.
Breakfast was quite good.
I was lucky enough to stay in the grandest and largest bedroom in the hotel. It was relatively expensive, but well worth the extra paid. Apart from being a truly beautiful room, it even provided me with a telescope with which to watch the birds on the lake before me.
The apartment is in a very large building near restaurants and the sites of El Rocío. It's clean, spacious air conditioned and fully equipped for cooking a small meal. The bed is very comfortable and the room is bright. Lola gave us great tips for the area

the staff was great, allowing me to leave my bike inside, and opening up the breakfast buffet extra early for me. the hotel is centrally located in el rocio with easy acess to the lake, church and restaurants
The lady welcomed us and was helpful and jolly. A very traditional hotel for the area, we liked the homely character and charm.
The breakfast was basic but suited our needs.
Nice little hotel with coffee making facilities. The air con and shower worked fine and my room cleaned daily. Wi fi was ok too, my room was close to the hub.
