Everything was just perfect: early check-in, upgraded room, sea view, breakfast, dinner, EVENING PROGRAMS, wifi (very fast), two swimming pools (very clean), late checkout, personnel.

Nothing

location, breakfast, view, the room was upgraded. Above one of the best hotel managers on earth. We were at the hotel during the blackout of Spain and they managed the crisis with great professionalism.

Nothing

The hotel is always spotlessly clean and the daily maid service and clean towels are very appreciated. The staff are friendly and welcoming. This was our third visit and we pleased to see the improvements made to the restaurant and pool bar. The entertainment was better, this year, enjoyed the Flamenco very much.

Unfortunately there was a large group of men attending a stag weekend. They took over the quiet top pool area and played their own music very loudly and were becoming very drunk and noisy. This disrupted the relaxed atmosphere of the top pool and many complaints were made. However the hotel manager was not available and those guests that were affected by the noise were told to move to another area. Sadly the situation was not very well managed, luckily we were going home that day. Maybe some form of rules should be put in place for large group bookings to ensure minimum disruption for the rest of the guests. For example the top pool is a quiet area for relaxation, music only by the lower pool and bar area only.

Missed kettle to make tea in room Could ve been nice with a bit different activity t in evenings A customer took his dog thru the restaurant and he wasn't stopped It was very disappointing 😞

Adults only! Great location near the Marina and beach. Two nice pool areas and plenty of sunbeds at this time of year. Nice sea-view room with fridge, safe, balcony and great views. Great staff, especially Maria and Maria in the Sun and Moon pool bar. Good breakfast with plenty of choice.

The showers at the pool! They don't turn off automatically but people often don't realise this and walk away leaving them on. Lost count of the amount of times we has to get up and turn them.off. Can be a bit rowdy at this time of year with stag and hen groups.

Hotel Alay has a fantastic position right opposite the Marina, we were very lucky and got a room on the top floor (12) and had an amazing view to the Marina. The room was large and beds comfortable, bathroom a bit dated with bath instead of walk in shower. The balcony was good size and had 2 chairs and table. Hotel has 2 pools and both quite small but always got beds OK. The hotel was 90% Spanish in August which I thought was unusual, very few British/Germans. Highly recommend staying at the Marina as there are dozens of restaurants, bars, Supermarket and shops there. Bus stop about 500 yards away and good service to Mijas etc only €1.70.

The Hotel entertainment was pretty loud and sometimes went on quite late. The food was good at breakfast but not amazing at dinner. Main course choice always seems to have 2 fish dishes, also no ice cream for dessert! No soft drinks included with half-board not even water or coffee. Cheaper to buy drinks at bar and take into dinner.

Hotel location very good.

Didn't rate the breakfast very highly, there was ample food but the scrambled egg was very cold. I found the breakfast staff to be dismissive, I asked very politely for some cold milk whilst making a cup of tea and the request was forgotten. I made some toast at 10:00am and was told that I had 10 minutes to finish before the table is cleared. Not sure if this is standard practice, but can only comment on my own experience.

Pool/lounge areas were stunning and roof top, lovely views and very clean. Room was spacious, balcony had a beautiful sea view. Rooms were clean and room service excellent daily. Great shower pressure. Reception/bar/restaurant staff all very kind, welcoming and friendly. Hotel very large, with parking and lots of space. Didn't use the spa services but the area looked calmed and relaxing and lots of treatment choices. Hotel had entertainment on over the weekend too which was good. Including Flamenco dancing one night and a DJ another. Location was excellent, less than 5 minute walk to the marina where there were lots of restaurants and shops. A 5 minute walk to Torremelinos the next town over which is full of things to do and places to go. Locals all very friendly too. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Room was nice and spacious. Access to UK TV Channels Pool areas not too crowded. Staff were lovely and helpful. Safe provided free of charge many other hotels charge Location is excellent. Breakfast was nice.

Entertainment could be heard in our room 360 it was very loud on our first night 29.07.24 could not sleep till after 11pm Staff refused to serve us in glasses at the pool bar during the day even though we were not going to the pool. The plastic tumbler measure used during the day was a lot less than the glass tumblers used at night but they still charged 4.5 Euros for both which was a bit of a rip off. Hated the plastic tumblers.

Breakfast was ok. Cold some mornings

Shower in the room was awful
