In need of updating and better equipping
I was disappointed overall with the El Rancho apartments. The apartment was very small, the kitchen was tiny and very poorly equipped to cook for yourself. There were broken sockets in the apartment and it is in need of a refresh. The apartment was not representative of the photographs shown on the Hotels.com website and I would not either recommend or stay again.

Booked last minute, basic, clean apartment, ideal for what we needed. No kettle or hairdryer. Ate in the restaurant which was okay decorated with bullfighting memorabilia.

A True Spanish Experience!
Adjoining restaurant was great, authentic meal with genuine service. Loved the decor, El Rancho is outside of the city, close enough to town but away from the hustle and noise. The “hotel” is old and rustic but clean and a true Spanish experience! Location is about 10 minutes South of Tarifa, but worth the drive.

In het kort: mooie locatie en zeer gast vrij. Ons verblijf bij El Rancho was werkelijk geweldig! De appartementen zijn allemaal prachtig en ook het terras is een fijne plek om te zitten. In de appartementen en in het restaurant komt de geschiedenis van de ranch op een interessant manier naar boven. Het meest opvallende was de uitstekende service en het vriendelijke personeel. Het team regelde alles wat je vroeg perfect en laten zien dat ze plezier hebben in hun werk. Het restaurant dat erbij zit is van top klasse. Hier heb in het lekkerste vlees gehad dat ik ooit heb geproefd. De prijzen voor het vlees van enorme kwaliteit zijn in vergelijking met Nederland echt een top deal. Al met al, zowel voor een fijn verblijf als ontzettend lekker eten: El Rancho is een aanrader!

Die duschkabien ist für kleine Leute gemacht die Halterung vom Duschkopf war kaputt. WC spüle funktionierte nicht, musste immer mit ein küpel Wasser Spülen. Sonst für den Preis ok.

Si tratta di una casa rurale fuori dal centro abitato ma comoda per andare in paese e alle spiagge. Dotata di giardino, piscina, parcheggio e un buon ristorante. L'appartamento è rustico e senza troppe pretese, mentre la camera è moderna e più accogliente.
