A perfect hotel for a relaxing holiday. Good food and very friendly staff.

The staff were charming, friendly and helpful My spacious bed room on the 1st floor (single occupancy rate) had it's own balcony with a beautiful view sweeping down to the sea in the distance. I swam in the unheated outdoor pool which was "bracing" at the end of March even on a warm sunny day, but I imagine would be... More

We were visiting my grandson who is living nearby. We stayed 5 days with the full board option. It's a small hotel, about 30 bedrooms, and because of it you get a more personal service than in a large hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had the room that the King and queen of Spain had stayed... More

Stayed here for one night, having walked from Frigiliana. Paid €44 for a single room and was perfectly happy. Good views from my bedroom window down to coast. I found the hotel very hard to find when I arrived in the village (very footsore!); only the chance discovery of a map board in one of the town squares saved me... More

Competa is one of the most beautiful; villages in the south of Spain. And Balcon de Competa offers old-world ambiance and a lovely location at the top of Competa. Prices are reasonable, breakfast service on the patio is terrific and the rooms are large and well outfitted.

We stayed in the Balcon de Competa for one week organised through Sheila's Spanish Walking Holidays. The hotel staff were very welcoming and obliging. Maria and David answered my e-mails promptly and were very helpful. They provided soya milk without any fuss for my breakfast, (thank you David). Most mornings we had breakfast on the balcony before our walk with... More

We find ourseves at this hotel several times each year. We´ve stayed whilst attending a wedding and this year for other special occasions, including Valentine´s and a local festival. The hotel is not luxurious, a little raggety around the edges in fact, but the rooms are comfortable, clean and warm with terraces and wonderful mountain views down to the sea.... More

This was a second visit to this great hotel and town. As ever, the service was friendly and relaxed, and everyone was most helpful. The room appeared recently decorated and was clean and smart. Much better than you would get elsewhere for the price. Only a couple of minor gripes though - the poolside bar opened only erratically, and wasn't... More

I have known the village that this hotel is situated in for more than twenty years, and have known the hotel since it was built probably about fifteen years ago. There is probably no better view of the villages of Axaquia and the mediterranean beyond - it is really a stunning location. The hotel itself is a three star and... More
