8.2Verified guest“Good view from the window.”
8.2Verified guest“We're on a room-only basis, so I can only comment on that. The best part is the location—very quiet area and right on the beach. Excellent if you're with kids. The hotel has modern facilities, though the facade is a bit old, but the rooms are very good. Vending machines for drinks and snacks on most floors, and one on the reception floor with medicines and supplies. Heated pool and gym. We went the last weekend of May and the outdoor pool was already open—a pleasant surprise. Staff are very attentive. If you skip hotel breakfast, try the bar 'Las Ninas' 50 metres away on Calle Rogelio Oliva—great breakfast and service. For meals out, there's a chiringuito bar right at the beach exit called 'Chiringuito Servando' with good food and fair prices. We'll be back and I've recommended it.”
8.2Verified guest“Closeness to the beach, staff attention, and the tranquillity of the area. Great value for money, very complete. The pool is quiet and the water was warm thanks to the sun. There was a large sunbathing area with sunbeds and parasols. Room cleaning was very good, though one day it happened around 14:30. Overall a great hotel to rest and disconnect.”
8.2Verified guest“Smooth check-in and late checkout. Spotless, practical rooms with kettle, balcony, and good views. Handy location. The breakfast was good as far as food goes.”
8.2Verified guest“Excellent location on the beach before flying out of Malaga airport, and a 5-minute walk to Playa de Guadalmar. Close to both airport and city centre. Beautifully maintained, functional room with fridge and a savoury breakfast.”
8.2Verified guest“Our clean, bright, well-appointed room on the seventh floor overlooking the Mediterranean was a real plus. The garden was well-maintained and relaxing. The lobby and lounge were inviting and high quality, as was the staff. Breakfast was exceptional with a wide variety. Being close to the airport and Malaga made it a prime location. We'll stay again each year on our return to Canada. Dave and Doreen, Canada.”
