Hotel Playa Langosteira

It is a well appointed modern hotel and seems to have been designed by someone who has stayed in lots of hotels and found something not quite right with the room. We could find nothing wrong with our room. It was comfortable and we had a lovely balcony with a sea view. We also enjoyed an evening meal in the restaurant.

At first we were a little disappointed that the hotel was not in the centre of Finisterre but its excellent facilities soon overcame our disappointment.

Location was terrific, practically on the long sandy beach. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. We walked to Fisterra Lighthouse to see the sunset but the hotel owner came and picked us up in his car to save us the walk back. They arranged sailing trips and taxis to hotels. Couldn't have been more accommodating. Excellent value for money.

Playa Lobgosteira was excellent value for money. We chose the very affordable and very recommended Junior Suite, which faced out towards the coast...a lovely bed, huge bathroom complete with jacuzzi and twin sinks, and ample living space. The days we visited had rain, so we didnt get much use of the balcony. The food and wine were also excellent. The staff were completely professional and very friendly. An impressive buffet breakfast was included in the price of the room. If you're visiting for a few days, this is a really nice spot to stay...and if you're crashing here at the end of the camino as we did, then this really is like entering through the pearly gates.

The hotel is situated about 10 - 15 minutes walk away from Fisterre, along a pretty ugly stretch of road that had a good deal of building work going on. Although once in the hotel, we werent disturbed by the noise or sight of the works, it's not a nice road to walk along. Luckily, on the other side of the road is the beach, so it's literally a two minute walk from the hotel...there is a path that runs along the beach into town, so it is recommended to go this route rather than the road.
