Hotel very good; nice sized room, enormous balcony, decent pool area. Lovely outside breakfast area; shaded in the morning. Good breakfast spread. Hotel doesn’t seem massive so has a nice small feel about it. No children - hurrah. Room 411 with Balcony & Sea View - excellent. Attractive pool area with 3 cabanas, more than enough sun beds & sturdy umbrellas. La Rita bar & snacks. Central location for shops, restaurants, beach & train station 5mins walk. 2 supermarkets next door. Town has some really nice Plazas and real restaurants

No outside light on balcony - looked like the bulb needed replacing but we were told that the hotel ‘doesn’t have outside balcony lights’…. Shame

The staff was friendly, and I appreciated the fact that they were able to get me in prior to my check-in time, especially after having flown all night.

I informed the front desk several times that some of the outlets in my room did not work. Also, I had trouble with the television. They kept telling me they would send someone to fix both items, but they never did send anyone and it made it difficult for me to charge my phone And it’s frustrating to only have local television when one does not fluently speak the native language.

+ excellent location (close to sea and city centre), many shops and restraints around. From the train station, in 15 minutes you can get to Malaga + VERY nice and friendly staff. + good dinners + nice terrace with beautiful view

- I found breakfast quite boring and monotonous. I think this is the problem of many hotels. Dinners are fine but breakfast could be improved. - coffee was quite terrible. It is not the first hotel in Spain that has this problem. Maybe I was lucky enough to be in couple of hotels with good coffee actually, maybe all hotels are trying to save some money on coffee?? - some toilet accessories are not available in the room

Third visit: the biggest improvement is the moving of the bar to the back of the hotel, making it such a more attractive space to drink, particularly when combining it with the outside area, which gets the sun and has good views. Breakfast is still good. On our last day we departed the hotel at 0330 and the hotel had set out a continental breakfast for us to eat before we left, which was a great thing. However, we did not know they were going to do this, so whilst I nice surprise, we didn’t leave much time to eat it before the taxi arrived. Cleaners do a good job. Views from our rooms were good and balcony space huge. Ate dinner in hotel one night and enjoyed the food quality and selection. Good showers in the rooms. Good location to access both the town and seafront. Nice pool area and pool.

Something which the hotel still have not put right - inadequate wardrobe space and not enough hangers in them. I was in a room which would normally be used by two people and yet there were only 4 hangers in the wardrobe. There needs to be far more. Four wasn’t nearly enough for me alone - had I been sharing the room, it would be two each. Addition of irons would be good too. By the middle of the week both my room and my friend’s room had unpleasant smells coming from the bathroom drains.

The hotel was absolutely brilliant. The staff were super friendly and my room was clean and spacious. All the facilities were great, including the pool and I particularly liked the rooftop terrace. I included breakfast which turned out to be a great idea as it was one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had. So much choice! I wish I had also paid for the evening meal up front as well, as I ended eating in the hotel most nights. That too was a buffet so you could help yourself to whatever you wanted. The price was very reasonable too (26 euros and you could eat as much as you wanted). I arrived hours before check in and I just asked if it was ok to leave my luggage with them, but they then did everything they could to get my room ready! After 20 minutes it was ready, what great service! Very close to all the shops and also the train station. The train only takes 10 minutes to get to the airport and it's only just over 2 euros for a ticket. The hotel has a rear exit/entrance allowing easy access to the beach. Like many hotels now, this hotel operates with a wrist band system which gives you access to your room, allows you to use the rear entrance from the beach and let's them know if you've paid for meals etc. up front. The WiFi worked very well and I had a decent connection for my whole stay. I love the fact that this hotel is not for families. It had a really chill, calming, relaxed atmosphere. No screaming kids dive bombing the pool! It did mean I was one of the youngest people there (it definitely has an older clientele) but I'm ok with that.

The only minor issue I had I think was caused by me checking in early. Shortly after going to my room, someone else was allocated that room and they walked in (luckily I was fully clothed!). This also meant my wristband/room key no longer worked so I had to go to reception to get it fixed. It was the only error they made in the five days I was there though and I'm sure it was a one-off mistake. A very minor gripe I know, but they only had Pepsi and no Coca Cola.

Hotel was a nice hotel, in very good location for main street and beach level. So you have lots of restaurants and shops nearby, the bedrooms were of a good size and very clean, with a good size bathroom. The hot breakfast was very nice. pool area was nice also.

cereals and juices were disgusting. Also very annoyingly, the hotel tv has only 1 english speaking channel which is surprising that alot of guests using the hotel speak English. Pool is not heated during the summer months, this was very disappointing, as I booked this hotel based on the information supplied on bookings.com that the pool is heated. it was so cold no one got into it which is a waste, also the roof top sunbathing area is fab but the jacuzzi up there was freezing also. very disappointing for a nice hotel.

Great spot and would definitely come again, it's extremely good value for money with excellent service. The staff bent backwards to help. The location is absolutely lovely, set back slightly from the beach you have a 30s walk to the promenade and beach and the reception floor exits to the main town area with lots of lovely spots for breakfast, shops and bars. The decor is slightly dated but I really liked it, it's a bit of a blast from the past and everything is very functional and surprisingly all in very good condition. The clientele are around 50+ and it's very quiet when we went.

I did have a surprise with the initial room I got, it was a tiny bed in a tiny room paid 20% more for a VERY nice room upgrade.

Great location. Staff were very friendly. Rooms are comfortable and clean, nice shower. Breakfast is great value for money.

Nothing

Great location, staff and breakfast. All staff from check in to cleaning to breakfast to technical assistance were readily available with a smile. Very near tons of restos and only 4-5 min to beach. Appreciated adults-only quieter concept, as an option to the large competing hotel nearby full of screaming pool-side children.

The effort to modernize is appreciated but needs to move faster. Clunky elevators, poor signage off of staiways/alt elevators, bulky furniture. Pity no on-site parking, but options near. Luckily the great staff makes up for any inconvenience.

Beyond our expectations. The hotel was even nicer than on the pictures. All staff members were friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast and dinner options were amazing (to name a few: tortilla de patatas, grilled cod, salads, different choices each day....) Also, the room was comfortable and pool area very nice. And the location - in the city center from one side and straight to the beach from the lower side, perfect for a relaxing vacation.

We stayed at low season (november), so we had plenty of space, but I can imagine that at high season it might get a bit crowded (breakfast and poolside area).
