Ajedrez Beach Club - Casa al Mar

We ordered prawn salad, pork loin croquettes, and ribeye steak. Everything looked delicious, but we didn't like it at all. The salad was like a mush and didn't have prawns; it was just bits of squid, which isn't the same thing. The croquettes were ridiculously expensive considering they were small and had no flavor whatsoever. We had high hopes for the ribeye steak (€27), which was very reasonably priced for the portion size, but it was awful, as were the potatoes, which tasted like starch. The only thing we liked about the place was that it was very original and attractive, and the warm lighting made the dining experience quite pleasant. But honestly, for the €70 we paid, we've eaten a thousand times better at other restaurants with higher quality food. We won't be back for lunch.

The location is wonderful, like all the beaches in Chipiona. The food is edible, nothing special. The waiters are very friendly. There's an older gentleman, apparently the owner or manager, who's quite unpleasant. We'll come back when they replace him. Until then, we'll continue going to Chinini or Tulum.
