"My wife and I stayed 10 - 20th March 2026.
I had some trepidation about this place after reading some of the reviews prior to travelling.
We landed at Malaga in torrential rain but needn’t have worried. We had ten days of mostly wall to wall sunshine despite having taken rain coats and umbrellas after a dire 10 day forecast prediction with temperatures in low twenties.
The reviews said unwelcoming desk staff - rubbish, they were very accommodating and efficient. Even unlocked the fridge for my use, which was chargeable - but free as I had insulin that needed keeping cold.
Lifts slow - 3 lifts in a row near to reception - all worked efficiently, never had to wait long at all even in peak usage times.
Other lifts available but at the other end of the hotel.
Room sizes - we had a twin bedded room with a balcony which was more than adequate for our needs. No you wouldn’t get away with holding a barn dance in it but you only sleep in it after all. The room wasn’t the most modern but nothing was damaged and everything worked as it should. No wardrobe as such but plenty of hanging space, draws etc - after all isn’t the modern thing to be able to see all your clothes hung up.
Free safe, tea making facilities, fridge, hair dryer, loads of plug sockets, two coat pegs, aircon unit, suitcase storage, rainfall shower, plenty of hot water, comfy beds, blackout curtains, balcony table and two adjustable chairs, partial sea view, chambermaid service every day.
Our only gripe was that the day we arrived a local bar was having a karaoke night (dire music and even worse singing) and I thought oh no, what have we come to. I needn’t have worried as at around 11pm everything went quiet and it was that night only. However we did check the sliding patio doors more than once, as it sounded like they were open. Even with being on the fourth floor you occasionally could hear people talking in the street below along with the street cleaning machine going by every morning around 6.30 am. Other than that we both slept like babies.
Food - we were half board so had breakfast and dinner. What can one say here - typical hotel food, plenty of choices but after ten days gets a bit samey. However we never failed to find something to eat. Two soups at dinner but not a drop of gazpacho ever, salad bar, supposed show cooking, choice of breads and rolls, an array of small deserts, cheeses and biscuits, fresh fruit and six or so ice creams. Drinks of all sorts.
Breakfast was as expected but with churros and cava every morning, several drinks machines which made an array of naff coffees and an absolutely gorgeous hot chocolate. Usual toasters and a microwave should you need it.
Live entertainment every night. Bar service, pint and glass of wine 8.5 Euros which I thought was very reasonable, cocktails 7.5 each with a litre of sangria 19 euros.
Two pools (one outside for frostbite, heated indoors but limited times) plenty of sun beds and free towels in the wellness centre. Pool bar doing snacks at lunchtime to order.
Hotel location 100 mtrs from the golden sandy beach. Taxi stand right outside the door with a bus stop 200mtrs
Would we return - if we found ourselves in that area again yes definitely, but we walked miles and paddled in each direction and don’t tend to go back to the same area twice with the exception of the Maldives."
