A 42-inch flat-screen cable satellite TV is featured in each air-conditioned room at Casa Del Mar. Each elegant room is decorated in soft colours and features floor-to-ceiling glass windows. All of the pet-friendly rooms include a coffee maker, a minibar and ironing facilities. I've been dreaming of staying here for years and finally splurged for my birthday. It was worth every penny. I was upgraded to an ocean view room, and was sent chocolate covered strawberries and prosecco, treated like a princess, and provided perfectly professional, warm, and courteous, brilliant service. Thank you to all the staff, especially Angel at the front desk for all your kindness on my birthday. The room, the bedding and bed, the view, the amenities, the bathtub, the working desk, the lighting, all were tasteful and well designed and incredibly comfortable. Don't change a thing. Also loved the plush bathrobes, and all the resort extras, from free bikes on loan, to a local car service, to complimentary drinks, to morning yoga, all included.
