“outstanding”
the experiance was outstanding of which i had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it
“This was a very classy european hotel, wellworth the price”
Room was great - ask for a view of the ocean beyond the golf course. Breakfast was included and was buffet. Tables were set nicely and the view from the restaurant was great.
“Perfect for girls chilled out weekend”
Hotel is right on the beach, with beautiful turquoise pool and loads of wooden sunbeds with cushions and fluffy towels. Hotel bar and restaurant are smart and contemporary in style. The restaurant overlooks the beach. There is also a beach bar and restaurant which were not yet open for the season. Clientele are a mix of groups of golfing buddies and couples. Quite quiet and sedate, and middle aged in mood. There were four of us who were there to chill and celebrate a 50th birthday. We loved the Spa and used the thermal circuit, but didn't book any treatments as quite expensive. Hotel staff were delightful - friendly and helpful. We only took breakfast, which was extensive. Loads of fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals, breads and pastries, and hot food. Hotel is about one hours drive from Malaga, and you really need a car to get out and about to restaurants and visitng places of interest.
“Great hotel and spa -”
Although we only stayed four days just after New Year and just chilled by the pool, we enjoyed it immensely. The spa was relaxing and clean. Not a golf player myself but watched them on the course each morning from the restaurant while having breakfast. Car needed if staying any length of time as its a long walk to anywhere other than the golf course.
“Very Nice”
The hotel was very clean And the staff was helpful with directions and suggestions for places to go snd things to do. Most of the staff was fluent in English.
“hotel très calme dans un cadre superbe”
La chambre supérieure est spacieuse, le lit est grand et très confortable et la climatisation ne fait presque pas de bruit. L'hôtel donne directement sur la plage et on peut prendre le petit déjeuner en terrasse avec vue sur mer. Les repas sont délicieux mais assez chers. Le SPA est spacieux, très agréable et il n'y a quasiment personne. L'hôtel se situe dans un quartier très chic mais extrêmement calme et on n'a jamais était importuné par de la musique, même en sourdine. Le parking gratuit est bien appréciable aussi. Au final, c'est un hôtel où nous retournerons volontiers pour passer des vacances calmes et reposantes, dans un cadre superbe.
“Relaxing half term break”
Guadalmina is a beautiful high quality hotel in lovely gardens. It proved difficult to find due to road works on the A7 which apparently have been ongoing for a couple of years but once inside the hotel grounds all was calm and quiet. We had a superior sea view room which was huge and very comfortable. The standard of cleanliness and service was excellent. We only had bed and breakfast and were glad we had hired a car as there was nowhere to eat within walking distance. We tried the evening buffet in the hotel and that was enjoyable and reasonable value. My husband loved the fact that the hotel was right on the golf course and the hotel staff were able to book games at all the nearby courses. In spite of it being half term there were very few children around and it was always possible to get a sunbed by the pool.Great weather meant we had a fab holiday and would return again.
“Great place”
Very nice location, great beach, not many big buildings around, lot of space, excellent breakfast, great value for the money
“Situation remarquable”
Hotel tranquille sur la plage et sur le golf. Départ direct du trou numéro 11 aux pieds de l'hotel. Cadre très beau, environnement très agréable.
“Great for a short sunny break”
Booked this trip as a short break in the sun. Perfect for relaxing by the pool in a lovely beach-side location. Pool is gorgeous and even though hotel was pretty much at capacity the pool wasnt busy at all with most people coming and going not staying all day. The food and drink in the hotel is very expensive. 40cl bottle of water E3, dinner in the restaurants is alot too. we bought water and snacks from the hypermarket in Banus and kept in the mini bar fridge and there was no problem with that. Staff were friendly. Location is great - was perfect for us but you need to put cabs into your budget... E10 each way to Banus from the hotel. Fabulous for people watching and good range of restaurants. Would definetely go back.
