We had cancelled our plan to travel to Tangier but planned to park in the Tarifa harbour parking lot. However, we arrived to find it was full. Circling the town may times, we finally found a spot on a hill (foc), 1 km from our hotel. The very friendly and cheerful receptionist warned us that the hotel was the centre for the 4-day carnival and would be very, very noisy. He kindly offered a free cancellation if we could not stand noise. We decided to stay on to experience the fun! The room was spacious enough, cheerful, well-appointed - hair drier, heater, closet, tv extra chairs, a tiny balcony. Bathroom was sparkling clean too! Had requested for a room with lift access in the annex. There was a lounge in the lift lobby with easy chairs and a kettle for hot drinks. Lots of good cafes nearby and a fish-n-chip take-away next to our hotel. We enjoyed the carnival; we could pop up and down from our room! And we enjoyed our stay here immensely! We slept well;the windows kept most of the noise out)or was it the vino?)!
