One week all inc 16-23 June (couple in mid 20's).
We have just returned from the Sol Princess and had a great relaxed stay. The hotel was a good size and the room was nice, clean and had everything you needed. Comfortable beds but you may want to ask for an extra pillow! Super shower and maid cleaned everyday to a pristine standard (complimentary bottle of water daily which you can put in your fridge). Restaurant was good for an all inc, a good variety of food (nice spanish dishes, lots of fish and a fantastic salad selection) and a nice terrace- be warned men have to wear trousers for the evening meal. Good selection of drinks including cocktails! (Bars close at midnight prompt). As the hotel is sistered with Andalucia Princess (half board) you have the use of all their facilities (bars and food you must pay extra for) including their great pools. Grounds are very pretty and there are plenty of sunbeds in and out of shade. The largest of the 4 pools is great for kids too as it has a great shallow area (also many small pools for kids).

Now for the not so good..
Entertainment was naff!!! Pretty much what you would expect in an all inclusive. As the hotel is so remote you may need to get a taxi to Marbella or Peurto Banus (15 euros each way) for a little more entertainment. The hotel is situated right on the beach but we have to say we never bothered to spend one day on it as it was so pebbly and small. Transfer back to airport a bit of a drama - 2 hours for us as had to stop at loads of hotels!!! You had to be ready in a 40 minute window to be collected and ours was also 20 minutes late.

All in all a good holiday, nice relaxing, weather fantastic, food really good and never got bored of it but just very remote. We recommend a trip to Peurto Banus/Marbella for a change of scene! would go back to chill out.

We stayed here for a week at the beginning of May. We booked quite late & got a very good deal for a weeks all inclusive.
Our room was to a high standard, & everything in it seemed to be brand new. Our 4 year old son had a 'camp bed' which was as large as our two twin beds, which was a pleasant surprise. The fridge in our room was on all week, although we hadn't paid for it as stated in brochure.
The 'beach' here is pretty poor but we knew this as had seen pics on website.
As there were four large pools available between the 2 hotels (& at least 3 small kids pools) we didn't feel the need to use the beach anyway.
The pools & pool areas are lovely, very spacious, & the grounds are very pretty. Always managed to get sunbeds, once we'd collected our pool towels, no matter what time it was. This could be because we went early season, however.
The staff here are very nice, helpful at reception & friendly in the bars & restaurant. We did not use the a la carte, as had heard mixed comments about it.
The food was ok. Everything i ate was cooked well, there just didn't seem to be enough choice of main meals at lunch & especially in the evenings. That said, none of us went hungry !
There was a big selection for breakfast, the only moan was the food was never very hot, even when a fresh lot had been bought out from the kitchen.
The all-inclusive drinks were all good, & the bars were open at different times, so there was never a time that we could not get a drink.
The kids club staff are absolutely brilliant. Anna & Juan are both spanish & truly enjoy their jobs. They organise all the entertainment at the hotel & work long hours & they made our sons (& our) holiday. A big thank you to you both !
The location of the hotel is not a problem. There are courtesy buses laid on every day, which can take you to Estepona & Puerto Banus. The reception can also arrange taxis & we found the one we used very reasonable.
My biggest moan about this hotel is that it is totally NON-SMOKING inside & I was not aware of this until we got there. A big plus point, of course for non-smokers, but a few people were moaning ! There are two seating areas outside where you can smoke, & also the two outside bars provide tables with ashtrays. This DID NOT spoil my holiday, just thought people should know !
This was the most relaxing holiday that we have had, a great place to come to soak up the sun & just chill.
To sum up, would say that it's definitely a 4* hotel, with perhaps, 3* food.

We booked a late all-inclusive deal at the Costa Del Sol Princess and actually stayed in a room in one of the blocks of the Andalucia Princess, which is on the same complex. It meant we had to walk across to the main hotel for meals, but no problem as the sun shone every day. The room was nicely decorated and furnished and the bathroom had a separate shower cubicle and a good hairdryer. Maid service was excellent.

On arrival we were given a voucher to get poolside towels, which are free so long as they are returned on departure. We usually sat around the Costa Del Sol Princess pool as that is where you can get the drinks and meals if you are all-inclusive. The pool and pool area was spotless. There were so many staff going around all day picking up litter, emptying bins, even disinfecting the bins and poolside showers and checking chlorine levels in the pool. There was the usual daytime entertainment - aerobics, water polo, football, volleyball, etc. if you wanted to join in. Sun beds are scattered all over the grounds so you will have no problem getting one.

The dining area is bright and clean, and again the staff were excellent and very efficient. Meals were a mixture of good and bad. Some of the meat dishes weren't to my liking, but the hotel caters for various nationalities and there was always something to eat. There is a microwave to heat up your food if needed. Take a look in the far right corner. On a morning there is a chef frying eggs, and in the evening he is grilling meats which are additional to those on the buffet counters.

Evening entertainment wasn't brilliant, cabaret type shows and a quiz one night, but you can always just sit in the large lounge or outside on the veranda and have a quiet drink. It really needs a larger seating area. What I liked about this place was everybody there seemed relaxed and friendly. The majority of people staying were 40+. There were some younger families but this hotel doesn't really cater for children.

Outside the hotel there is not a lot. We walked along the beach and either side of the hotel there are private villas and apartments, so if you want shops and bars this is not the place to be. If you are prepared to walk a little further there is a typical Spanish village on the other side of the road which was very pretty to have a wander around and which has a few bars and restaurants.

Shopping wise, forget it. There is a courtesy bus to Estepona or Puerto Banus and I was told (although we didn't go) that the trip to Gibraltar was good for duty free perfume and cigarettes, but you are restricted on what you can bring back. Also, you can book the trip at the small supermarket across the road and it is half the rep's price, or you can make your own way by bus. We bought our duty free at the airport when we left and it was very reasonable.

All in all, a relaxing holiday for a week but I couldn't stay for two.

My husband and myself have just returned from a relaxing weeks stay at the hotel. On the whole we found everything to be of a good standard and really enjoyed our stay. Admittedly it is a little remote, but that wasn't a problem for us as we just wanted a nice quiet break. So if it's nightlife on the doorstep that your looking for, then this isn't the hotel for you. Otherwise a great holiday!
