Brilliant location

Really nice hotel and brilliantly located Went with jet2 and I emailed hotel to request a low floor as I have mobility problems. We were in room 105 which is a disabled room next to a lift which was Very convenient. staff were lovely and hotel was very clean. Wouldn’t hesitate at returning which we hope to do in October. 7 euros in taxi to arroyo and 12 euros to Torremolinos There are a few bars/restaurants close to hotel

A nice stay.

Great location, close to a wide variety of bars restaurant etc. Mcdonalds right outside the front door. 20 min walk to marina. A basic hotel but does have everything one needs. Pool is lovely and clean. Being honest the sun loungers are quite uncomfortable and there is a major shortage of umbrellas for shade. I believe this should be looked at by the hotel. Variety of food available. We had breakfast and lunch. Pastries, fruit, pastas, fish, pizza, meatballs, chicken etc etc. Not really a young person's hotel, we found the majority of guests were more mature couples which suited us. No screaming kids and no fighting for sunbeds. I think I would return to this hotel.

Ok hotel shame about the amount of smoking

Location close to nice pubs and restaurants. Room was ok overlooked pool which doesn’t open until 11am really odd time. Sun beds awful didn’t have back rests, never struggled to get one! Bed and breakfast can’t comment on other food. Breakfast was ok! My main problem was the smoking people had no consideration what’s so ever. Ash trays every table and no designated area! Found this terrible people even did it on their balcony so traveled into your room. Prob will not return due to this

Very strict rules on the pool

We had emailed them before our holiday requesting a lower floor room we were given a 1st floor room with a lovely view overlooking the pool. The room was nice and cleaned daily the food was good too, The sun loungers are the worst i have ever had to lay on , if you like a early morning swim avoid this hotel as the pool does not open until 11 and closes at 8, they don't allow any type of lilo or pool loungers in the pool, never have I not been allowed to float in the pool I will definitely not be returning to this hotel

could be better.

just got back from this hotel. on arrival you get dropped off on other side of road. greeted by nice check in woman. but when we left they didn’t ask if we enjoyed our stay or nothing just small goodbye and that was it. hotel very clean but very spanish oriented we were asked if we wanted to play in games not even a good morning at times. although cleaning staff were courteous. we were bed and breakfast but very basic no omelettes. coffee nice tho. our room was fine but wardrobe was door missing. pool lovely. acts on night we’re ok. advertising sunset bar but was never open. bit out of the way but resteraunts nearby were good especially no 7 bar. bar staff just about friendly but once again we weren’t spanish. would we return probably not but ok hotel. not much in way of please or thank yous.
