Las Palmeras del Califa

Great stay, completely positively surprised. Nice hotel with excellent staff and restaurant in beautiful village

This is a quirky and beautiful building that makes you feel you are transported to Morocco . The pool area is small but lovely . The restaurant is excellent and we wish we had stayed one more night . The staff were all vertu smiley and professional as welll as very helpful

Beautiful property and a wonderful staff. My only complaint is there wasn’t much to do around the town.

This is an annexe of the main hotel where the rooms are larger suites and you have access to a small swimming pool. Although more expensive than the main hotel, the pool access alone sealed the deal for us. It was a fantastic to have this on a hot afternoon even in May. You check in at the hotel in the town plaza and then walk down the street and around the corner to Las Palmeras. We paid for car parking which is a short walk away. Be warned the allocated spaces are in the basement and the car needs to be able to turn a very tight corner to access the ramp. My husband managed it but it was challenging. The hotel is decorated with style and many antiques and photos from the owner James's childhood in Africa and unconventional family travels. We met partner Ellie in one of their restaurants who explained this and it adds considerably to the charm of this hotel. Although Vejer is packed with ( currently underbooked ) restaurants, we found the food in hotel-owned Califa Express and Corredera 55 to be our best meals. Breakfast is fine though we did not like the spelt bread rolls. Lovely to eat in the garden with palm trees. Do not miss drinks or Moroccan afternoon tea on the rooftop terrace and with time you get used to the Escher-esque staircases around the hotel buildings. We thought that the hotel and Vejer in general was like a love child of Greece and Morocco. Swallows swoop the pool in the afternoons, bells ring, children play in the Plaza, sparrows chirp noisily at sunrise and sunset. We had a comfortable stay and would recommend.

A great returning trip Part of the Califa complex of hotels in the town with great character and Moroccan influence. This is the second time we have stayed there and we have thoroughly enjoyed our selves. The dinning is great for eating out under the stars and palm trees.

I loved staying here - the hotel is beautiful, the meals we had were excellent and Vejer is gorgeous. We didn´t go in the pool, but the pool terrace was lovely. The staff were pleasant. I love middle eatsern food and they did it really well. However, I am able bodied and there is a snag with access. There is free parking available, but you then need to walk up a hill afterwards (pull up by recepcion and drop your bags before parking). The rooms and access to the pool and eating area are via stairs.
