We’ve recently returned from a very enjoyable stay. These apartments are very well situated near some great restaurants and bars. The facilities in the apartments are good, especially the amount of storage space, washer/dryer, dishwasher and good sized balcony. We requested extra sheets, pillows and mattress toppers and these were provided. The air conditioning is fantastic too. There is a great life guard at the pool and we never had a problem getting sun beds. If I am to be picky - the lifts took a long time to come (we were on the 6th floor) and were sometimes out of order. The sofa bed is too small for both of our sons to sleep on together, plus they prefer their own space, so a sofa that turns into single beds (as is usually the case) would be preferable. Also the sun bed area could do with cleaning more frequently as it wasn’t as clean as we’d expect and the sun beds and parasols could do with being updated. Sometimes some of the older Spanish guests were a bit grumpy about British guests and especially children playing and jumping into the pool but the lifeguard (and sometimes other staff) mainly handled this well. The supermarket below stays open until 2am which is fantastic when you arrive late as we did. The bars and restaurants are not in any hurry to close early either so you can make the most of the long sunny days. The local bus service is also good if you fancy a trip out to the port or further a field. The reception staff will also arrange taxis for you. Thank you for a great stay and we will be back next year.

We have just returned from a 6 night visit to this hotel as a family of 4- 2 teenagers. The apartment was a good size, twin beds in the bedroom and comfortable double sofa bed in the lounge. Good facilities including washing machine and dishwasher which was very useful. Pool bar does decent food and drinks and was reasonably priced. 5 minute walk to the beach and promenade with lots of bars and restaurants near by. 30 minute walk to the marina or around 6 euros in a taxi. Bus stop at the end of the road towards either Malaga or Fuengirola. Highly recommended. We will definitely return.

“Good, Steep Deposit and Solid Beds”

This is a nice place to stay with good size apartments. It is all self catering which didn't bother us as there was a supermarket downstairs opened from 8am to 2am everyday. However I only found out about the deposit by reading the reviews as it's not advertised at all that your expected to pay a £200 deposit upon arrival. For what your room is I think this is very a steep deposit. You MUST remove all rubbish etc or you won't get your deposit back, we literally scrubbed the apartment before leaving and ensured it was completely empty. The beds are rock solid, as someone who suffers from chronic back pain and sciatica it was the worst sleep ever. I have no idea why there is reviews saying the beds aren't that bad, I was up most mornings about 4am due to the pain and so was my other family members. However regardless it was really nice and I'd consider going back if the beds were better and the deposit wasn't so steep. Which is why I haven't booked to return there next year. Sad as staff were pleasant and helpful and it is a nice hotel. Rooms do have a washing machine and ironing board etc. Also fab views.
