The property is nice. Just on the beach and in front of the Rocks of San Cristobal (you will get the best views of Almuñecar from the top). The room was full of light and quite spacious. 2 balconies, one with the sea view. Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. Many restaurants around. I loved my stay there!
The only problem of this property is the problem with opening the doors. I had to spend at least 5 mins “murdering” the door handle before I could open the door to my room. I heard other tourists having the same issue.

Unfortunately we didn’t get there the first night, however on arriving at the hotel we were impressed where it was situated right on the beach front, we had dinner at the hotel and it was really nice and not expensive,
No tea and coffee facilities in the room no breakfast facilities, but there were enough places near by to get breakfast

Great helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, incredible beach location and the occasional music event and roof top bar all make it one of my favorite hotels!
Theres no elevator, but staff helped with my cases. Thats really all it's missing. Maybe a hot tub on the roof would be nice too but hardly necessary with the sea on the door step!

Location was excellent, on a charming plaza by the sea.
Only issue was maybe a bit noisy in the evening but only because my balcony looked over a bar area, but that's Spain. I wasn't troubled by it.

Location right next to the beach with 2 sea views from the balcony was really lovely! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Clean, comfortable rooms with great air conditioning and WiFi.
Would benefit from a fridge in the room.

Clean room, kind staff, great location right on the beach.
Thin walls. This isn’t the property’s fault, but there was a huge political campaign rally outside the plaza out front and they were playing VERY loud music until midnight, completely preventing any sleep until then. I’m not sure how frequently concerts happen there, but I would not have stayed there knowing there’s be so much noise. It might be good to check to see if something is happening.

A very comfortable little hotel which was spotlessly clean throughout. It has a reasonably priced restaurant overlooking the beach. A most enjoyable stay. Highly recommend it.
Nothing..

Second stay at this hotel. Clean, comfortable, beautifully located and good value. We upgraded to a sea view and the balcony made a huge difference. Will go again!
