Really good place to relax and have a sun bath. You can enjoy a really nice mojito having a beautiful view.

We had lunch in the hotel and the meal was very good, except for the tuna tartar, which was a little tasteless. The place is good for swimming and there is a parking very accessible.

Great place next to the beach to have a drink. Prices a little bit high but considering the location and it is very touristic, looks goo.

Entertainment area outside is nice. Beachfront. Because of its location hotel is overpriced. Overall a nice experience

This restaurant is not as good as it used to be . . .
Not at all as good as it used to be. Oh dear!
Mind you the position - on the Los Lances beach - is still great, and the views from the dining room are gorgeous. Those haven't changed.
But.
But it is no longer a good Andalusian beachside restaurant, serving all the typical local fresh-caught fish.
When I say that it has salmon - SALMON - on the menu, this says it all.
Since when has salmon been bought off the fishing boats in Tarifa?
It has moved its menu up into the International category. Smoked sardines with guacamole? Check. Spiralised white radish on the tomato salad? Check. Thai-spiced prawns? Check. Grilled fish served with a sauce of garlic, minced prawn and Serrano ham? Check.
Where are the local specialities? The crispy fried boquerones, the squid rings, all the things that they serve in every single restaurant in Tarifa town? Not here. We asked for them and were told that they no longer served them. :-(
Now this menu may in fact be exactly what you want and hope for, in which case this might be the place for you. But for locals, or Spaniards from Madrid on holiday, it's a big let down. We were a (Spanish) family party of 9, and it was not what we had expected. :-(
Andalusian food was what we came for. And we didn't get it.
And the service is pretty dire too. We asked for bottles of water as well as wine, and had to ask three times.
Three!
When we could finally get a waiter to take any notice of us, I will add. The young waiters seemed to be playing a game to see who could ignore the most waving arms and calls from customers desperate to attract their attention. They would be at the table right next to you, and still take care to look right over your head so that they couldn't be seen to be catching your eye.
TERRIBLE service! They really need to be taught better.
And to cap it all, there was neither icecream nor fruit for pudding.
No fruit!
In Andalucia in summer, when the melons and watermelons are ripe, the peaches and apricots are bursting with sweetness and the cherries just dropping off the trees!
Over priced too.
Sorry we went. Although the loos were clean.response / report this review -

Restaurant Hotel Arte vida is probably one of the nicest ocean view restaurants on the Costa de la Luz. The menu offered consists of the Mediterranean and Thai cuisine. Attentive service. We recommend to go with lunch and see all the kitesurfing action what take place in front of the hotel.
