"This is a typical tourist hotel, dated and in great need of really basic upgrades, from painting rooms, broken tiles, to ld bathrooms etc… it’s clean, nice staff and right next to the beach. A bit noisy ( old flimsy windows) and a bit of an old and stale smell in the rooms. Basic old 3 star.. that’s all."

"We had a lovely stay here, we had a large room that had a separate lounge. The only downside was that our balcony looked directly onto the 2nd floor pool area so everyone could see straight into our room. It was also very loud until around midnight because it was overlooking the outside bar. The room safe was free and there was a coffee machine with pods. The food was really good, a huge choice. We had half board and would definitely book the same again. The waiters and bar staff were all really friendly, all of the reception staff except one were lovely too. I didn’t get the guys name but on our arrival he was writing something down for a good couple of minutes right in front of us but completely ignored us. We stood patiently waiting for him to acknowledge us and when he decided to talk to us it felt like we had put him out! He was very abrupt and very unfriendly. The hairdryer in the room was unusable, it literally frazzled my hair because it was dangerously hot! It also cut out every 30 seconds ( because it was too hot!). We asked at reception if they had one we could borrow but they said they were all being used, so we spent ages finding a shop that sold one. We would definitely stay here again, it’s in a great spot by the marina. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops nearby and you can walk to Torremolinos if you fancy a good walk. It was only €25 euros in a taxi to the airport."

"Stay here every year at the end of August / beginning of September and always have a great time. This time we treated ourselves to one of the deluxe double-rooms and it was fantastic - large room with seating area, walk-in shower and huge terrace. The only thing that was maybe a little bit strange was that the shower and sink are in the actual bedroom, so not a lot of privacy (toilet is separate). The location is great, right by the beach, Marina, bars and restaurants. Both pools are lovely and there always seem to be some sunbeds available. The breakfast is really good and even has a live cooking station. The pool bar is good for drinks and lunch through the day - thanks as always to Maria and Maria for the excellent, friendly service. The team on reception and the housekeeping team are excellent too. It was a perfect stay and we're already looking forward to coming back next year!"
