“Faulty Towers!!”

2/2 found this review helpful

Stayed here for three nights with a friend and the service from the staff was awful. We concluded that they all either hate their jobs or have a dislike for tourists. At breakfast we had to find our own cutlery off another table as asking a member of staff was a waste of time as they never reappeared. The staff spoke very limited English and were totally disinterested. We would ask for some ice in our drink and they would never reappear again!

The food is very poor. We did not risk having the breakfast buffet for the fear of being ill - The cheese looked like it was fit for the bin three days ago and the ham was rock hard in the corners!

The hotel has had a very nice extension but if you stay in one of their older rooms they are very dated. Make sure you ask to stay in one of the rooms over looking the pool area.

The hotel is in the middle of a housing estate so can’t walk any where and have to rely fully on taxi’s.

If you have some children that rely on buggies there are stairs everywhere.

I would not return to this hotel simply due to the awful and very rude staff. They must have attended the ‘faulty towers school of training!’

I'm very surprised with the unfavorable comments from this traveler.
It is peculiar that we haven’t received a complaint directly from the guest during his stay, since we could have resolved any problems straight away, without a doubt! We are always at our clients disposal.

Our staff is in constant evolution to achieve a total guest satisfaction, therefore whatever type of negative commentary should be done at the moment in order for it to be corrected.

It is surprising that the commentary regarding our food is so negative, keeping in mind that we are considered a culinary reference in the area, and as our periodical hygiene analysis and tests show, we can guarantee that our food is completely under all the standards required from the official health authorities in Spain.

The rooms of our hotel are being refurbished and renovated constantly. Obviously, there are guests that prefer this style of rooms to others, it depends on your personal likes.

Our hotel is situated in one of the most exclusive residential areas in the whole of Spain with houses worth over 5 million €, I find it surprising that this traveler considers this area a " Housing Estate". Most of our guests choose our hotel for its location.

Children are always welcome in our hotel, its true that we have a lot of stairs, but we also have elevators.

I must say that we enjoy Faulty Towers very much but we are far from that type of hotel

4/4 found this review helpful

We booked primarily for the golf. We had a fantastic deal which included daily golf and spa session. The hotel was quiet being January, but for us it was ideal. Our room had a lovely view over the golf course to the beach - what more could you want? We did nothing for a week except golf, lounge on the beach, relax in the spa and eat! The restaurant was OK, but there is a restaurant just round the corner from the hotel that was friendly and good fresh cooked food. I am not a fan of the Costa del Sol but this hotel means I will be going back again - when I need to chill out!
