Good location - near a bus stop to travel to Malaga and other cities of this astonishing region of Andaluсia. Increadibly welcoming staff. Wonderful garden. Lovely La Carihuela beach near. Everything for you one of best holidays is here.

Hotel was nice and clean, they did a room service every day and I liked to have ensuite bathroom and balcony. My room was overlooking street but I liked it anyway as there was sun in the afternoon which was pleasant in October. I missed some amnenities in the room like hair dryer, fridge, wifi (only in the lounge). Breakfast... More

Just returned from a 7 night stay. Good first impression, nice pool and garden area although pool very small. Why people still hog sunbeds all day is beyond me.The Hotel is close ish to the beach. Bus stop right outside, very reliable and good value. As mentioned before by others, breakfast could be a bit more exciting, more choice would... More

I can't fault the cleanliness or the beautiful garden of this Hotel. It was somewhat let down by the bar area and sometimes being made to feel as though being a Solo traveller isn't something that the staff seem used to. Noise can be an issue as doors slam and people arguing happens often especially at night. The maid was... More

Me and my boyfriend just arrived back from a week away in this hotel. Hotel was very clean, we had the biggest room in the hotel so were happy about that! Lovely balcony overlooking the pool. Shame that it rained whilst we were there..we found little to do in those days. Only 9 sun beds so beware! I claimed my... More

Went to this hotel for 5 nights early September, Agreed with everyone. Hotel is spotlessly clean. Bedrooms very traditional but with a flat screen tv.(although the pillows were the hardest I have ever had in a hotel) Pick your remote up when you check-in. We had room 309 on the top floor poolside. Breakfast room was like going back 25... More
