What an incredible experience yet again at the Don Pepe. My family and I have been coming to this hotel for nearly a decade and each time we think our stay can't be bettered, it can! Abel and his team are fantastic looking after us in such a caring and thoughtful way (we think of seeing them now as you would friends). The hotel looked glorious after a few cosmetic changes since last year and the gym has been upgraded too and that is fab. The various restaurants are also fab if you don't want to go too far from the hotel (and why would you?!) - Capucchino and Tahini in particular with the beautiful views of the sea. If your budget stretches I would definitely treat yourself to the Red Level - over the course of a holiday it really does pay for itself with the food and drink you receive. Special shout out to Dani in the Kids Club too who kept my 6 year old son entertained and happy and therefore allowed this mummy a holiday too! We'll see you next year Don Pepe!

Beautiful property with a great staff. Great on-site amenities and restaurants. Also conveniently located so it is walkable to the old town. Rooms are clean but show their age in certain spots.
