“Excellent hotel!”

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and have already booked for 2025. We love it here, the staff are lovely, just to mention Oscar in restaurant and Simon on reception ...wonderful people.

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and have already booked for 2025. We love it here, the staff are lovely, just to mention Oscar in restaurant and Simon on reception ...wonderful people. It's super clean too. We always go for a full sea view room as it's the best, the view is breath taking ..we leave sliding doors open to go to sleep to the sounds of the waves. Its certainty the best view we have ever had and have been to a lot of places. For the money this it great. Also a great choice of food.. A bit gamey but nice to go out to dinner too. Great cocktail bar near a 20 min walk away that does the best cocktails and so reasonably priced. It also has an adult only pool which we love...super relaxing place. We get an uber from airport and at at hotel in 20 mins..only 25 euros. Malaga is a great place to go too, also theres a cable car you can get to mountains which is amazing. Gym at hotel is also excellent if you like a morning workout. It's like coming home to us when we go 👌😃

“Great for families”

The hotel itself is well situated with great views out to sea.

The hotel itself is well situated with great views out to sea. Its a great location to explore the local area as you are close to the bus routes and its easy to get a taxi etc. The rooms are a good size, well maintained and kept very clean. The food choice is good, there is plenty of variety and theme nights. The quality is generally very good, although it may not be to everyone's taste as it is going to be difficult to please everyone. On wet days/evenings, the bar area can get crowded and it is a challenge to get a seat, but that comes with the weather unfortunately. The pool areas are great as you can just go for the quiet pool option to relax or use the more noisier pools by the pool bar. We never had any issues getting a sun bed, but that may be different at the height of the season. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. There was enough to keep the kids and the adults in our group entertained. Its a fantastic location and we will definitely be booking a return visit next year. From reading other reviews, its not going to be to everyone's taste but I would have no problems recommending this hotel to our friends and family. To finish on the biggest positive, all the staff at the hotel that we met were excellent and worked so hard; nothing was too much trouble and they are a real credit to the hotel - particularly the guys at the bar, housekeeping and reception. Great staff help make for a great holiday.

“Quieter location with stunning views”

Firstly I have to say thank you to two outstanding teams in this hotel, the reservations team who responded to my many enquiries swiftly, were very informative and most importantly fulfilled my requests for room location & view, which was amazing. We were delighted with our room and housekeeping team were supremely helpful & efficient, advising us where we could refill our water & cleaning our room every day with sheets changed on request & they also granted our request for extra pillows. There was no coffee in the room but the restaurant manager obliged my request with sachets (although decaf) I was very grateful to receive them. On arrival we weren’t given any information apart from the floor for food and the floor for pool. It would have been very helpful if more information was given on arrival, no info given on location, nearby shop, buses, events in the hotel during the week, I think we missed out on a lot as we did see a children’s singsong one evening in return from the restaurant and luckily we came back one evening to find a Halloween circus for guests, we had read a notice this was a private event so didn’t realise it was for guests, we were told by another guest and were delighted because it was absolutely terrifying & brilliant!! We didn’t know anything about pool games either. Of the reception team don’t want to give the information I would recommend a programme of events. The restaurant team work hard & fast clearing and resetting at speed. The food selection was plentiful for breakfast & dinner with different food themes at night such as seafood, Mexican, bbq. Overall very tasty and all you could ask for but temperature is an issue and it’s served lukewarm at best. There’s an adult swimming pool section separate from family which is a great idea. Bar area by pool also offering free books which I loved, not sure about toilets, I asked 2 staff members but they just said to go inside so I went to the spa. Spa is lovely, great indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna & steamroom. Hotel is a short walk from beaches and the town but the beautiful location on the water with stunning views and in a quiet area were my reasons for choosing this hotel, however, be aware there is a playground next to the bar and we were kept awake by children playing until after midnight, I think this would be a big issue during busy summer months if you are not a party person. I loved our stay here and would stay again if returning to the area.

“struggling hotel and the failed adults -> family concept change”

I was thinking before going to this hotel, why it has only 4 starts in Tripadvisor, being so nice and looking so good hotel from first glance. but seems I found a ROOT CAUSE for failures of this hote. Here goes the story. I investigated that this hotel was or was targeting only adults before (I found old photoes showing they had tennis courts instead of kids pool area, then they did some recunstruction and removed extra tennis courts placing kids or families pool area here), now they have kids/family area and adults only zone idea is ok. But implementation seems to be with many issues. And the issues are the preference to adults still is felt hardly, and there are many restrictions for kids, and they ruin the experience of hotel at the end. For example, kids cant go into Gym (they can only sit here ant stare , ahahah), kids cannot gi into sauna (not sure why, but anyway not possible to go here, our 11 years doughter tried to sit for 1 minute, and was immediately screamed on and let out of sauna), kids cannot play with ball in a pool (many remarks and shouts for personnel on these things we saw), hotel is with bad setup for kids, many rocky steps, etc. regarding AI. seems AI is the big scam here. best not to buy it at all. day snack at bar are miserable (2 or 3 options only, potatoes free for example), you can pay extra on evening to get AI if you on another board option, but its not worth as too expensive, you still wont be able to order drinks at the bar after dinner. Hotel has many rules, special card to gym to visit (despite it is free for all guests, why I need extra card to get here every time?) , tennis area is also free but for some reason I need to pay deposit of 20 eur to use the court? (why this deposit, will I damage the court after usage????) , so in summary hotel seems is struggling. AI is very cut off, (only few coctails in AI option, also the Coffee is only from automatic crapo mashine, awful taste , I saw how people were mixing with several cups several options fro coffeee machine, to get the taste of nice coffe they wanted), if you want coffee at the bar , from normal manual system, you have to pay, its not in AI. the beakfasts are all the same, and very small options to pick from, I got tired to eat everyday fried eggs. The good things, are, the rooms, they are big, spacious, and has even USB slot, for phone charging in a wall. sea view, is good only on Suits rooms, which are faced directy to sea, of the room is faced half way to sea and to road, you will get a lot of noise from road.
