MS Aguamarina Costa del Sol

"The location was great. 5 min walk to beach and bars, 8 mins to the main strip and shopping centre which was easily accessed through the elevator. The rooms are large, clean and have everything you need, fridge, kettle, good selection of toiletries, shower gels, toothbrush, tissues, razor etc. the breakfast was fab. Freshly cooked omelettes, good selection of breads, pastries, cheeses etc. the coffee machine in the dining area offers Nespresso pods, which was very impressive. The evening meal was always delicious with a good choice of meat, fish, rice dishes, pasta etc. there was always chips or chicken nuggets if you have children. The staff there are unbelievable and all work so hard. Paula and Carlos particularly stood out as being very attentive and friendly. I didn’t get the other girls names in the dining area, but wow, they will go above and beyond for you. The best part of the stay was the barbecue night. I felt like I was attending a wedding. If you book this hotel, make sure you don’t miss it. The food, entertainment and attention to detail was fantastic. I was always able to get a subbed, the pool was a perfect temperature (some have said it’s cold on here) I won’t get in a really cold pool. The rooftop jacuzzi and indoor pool was very relaxing and like a bath temperature wise. The hotel even brought up chocolates and prosecco for my husband’s birthday, which was a lovely touch."

"The hotel itself looks lovely. Rooms are spacious, clean, towels and bedding changed when requested. Lovely outdoor and indoor pools. Very helpful and friendly staff . Now the not so good- our toilet would not flush and water in it was running constantly. We reported it , the maintenance man came up, said fixed, but it happened again the following day, and a third time. It was just a quick fix not a repair job. On the day we were leaving it happened again but we left it. Aircon, after running for a while, I heard a dripping sound coming from the bathroom ceiling. Reported it to reception, they said " oh yes that's the air conditioning " said they'd fix it. But it happened again. So we stopped using it. We were on a b&b basis. Appeared to be a lot of choice, especially if you like broccoli and sprouts for breakfast. Lots of different breads, pastries and fresh fruit. Eggs, fried, scrambled, hard boiled or omelette. If you want it hot, have an omelette as its cooked to order. Buy generally the rest of the hot food is not, it's only just warm including baked beans, pre cooked fried eggs, sausages (not english) etc : The hotel has 7 floor's and 1 usable small lift. Towels and safe key can be hired from reception. 10 euros per towel 5 euros foe a key, which is refunded on handing them back on departure. Would we stay there again? Maybe, if the toilets , aircon are fixed and the hot food gets hotter. One more point they have some evening entertainment , it was early season, we didn't see much and very small audiences. About 6 people at the most."

"I had a great holiday at this hotel and would recommend it but I didn’t either day I checked out. The hotel was fully booked so I could not pay to keep my room until later. I had a late 11 pm flight and no room was available to have a shower. I was directed to a very basic bathroom on the roof to freshen up. There was no shower curtain and the floor was completely flooded. There was nowhere to hang clean clothes or handbag. I challenge the hotel management to try and use this unsuitable facility in an otherwise excellent hotel. It was frequently hard to get service at the bar and after waiting for a long time we gave up and went next door to the supermarket for a drink and snack. The bar was great when you can find a waiter."
