Great trip

We had an overall nice stay. Beautiful pool areas and good service. Minus parts were the bad small in the bathroom and the locationcab ride necessary to all shopping and cities (for example to Marbella DT 25€ one way) We would recommend this hotel to our friends.

Not a bad late escape, but needs TLC!

Hotel was not bad, overall. To explain more, I think it was obvious it is near the end of the season and the hotel needs a little care and attention i.e. re-painting in some areas; housekeeping a bit shabby - tissues not replenished, shower gel etc., not replenished; dirty glasses in bathroom not removed. Breakfast was not a good experience - rubber scrambled eggs, very rarely any water, juice containers not replenished, hardly any plates, no extra knives and forks..... Next question down is difficult to answer, because I would ONLY recommend if the above was sorted out.

Great Hotel ans fantastic break

I can not fault the hotel, it was great. We booked 6 nights and we had essential room in 4th floor in tall building. Room didn't have sea view but it was very comfortable and clean. Staff cleaned the room everyday and change towels twice a day if require. We use the free pool which was great , perfect and clean. Breakfast was included and very fresh everyday. However lunch and dinner is something you need to explore. We had inner outside in restaurant around the hotel. Over all 5 star and great place , I will go back anytime.

In die Jahre gekommenes Hotel. Der Service, das Essen und die Pools sind toll. Unser Zimmer war jedoch sehr klein, ohne Balkon und noch mit einem alten Teppich ausgelegt.

Kaikin puolin hyvännäköiset tilat ja hyvä palvelu. Hyvää ruokaa.Upea puisto. Tennistunnin hinta 24 euroa liian kallis, vaikka massakenttää ei tarvitse itse huoltaa. 15 - 18 euroa olisi kohtuullinen.
