Amanda Says:
20 Degrés Sud offers an inviting and intimate escape with all the charm of a boutique retreat. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and hospitality were unmistakable, creating a refined yet homely atmosphere. The attention to detail, quaint décor, subtle touches of elegance, and a sense of exclusivity, makes it feel delightfully personal, as though you’ve discovered a well-kept secret.
The culinary experience is a standout, with breakfast in particular being a personal highlight, beautifully prepared, super-tasty and noticeable fresh. While some guests find the food and drink prices on the higher side for a four-star property, the quality is undeniable, making it, in my opinion, well worth the indulgence. Evenings at 20 Degrés Sud hold their own enchantment. Often, a live pianist sets the scene at dinner with soft, melodic notes, creating a fun yet relaxed ambience. On many occasions, diners take to the floor, swaying to the live music in an impromptu dance, adding to the hotel’s effortless charm.
It’s worth noting that the beach, though picturesque, is on the smaller side, with limited sunbathing spots, something perhaps to consider if long stretches of sand are a priority. However, for those seeking a tranquil, characterful retreat where luxury is understated yet ever-present, 20 Degrés Sud is a truly special place to unwind.
