Refreshing Beach Stay.
The stay was amazing, the stafff mostly co-operative. Would request to add a tea kettle, into the rooms, as the bottled water is cold during, the autumn/winter seasons.

Good morning Mario,We're sorry that you don't like our hotel. We don't have reservations for rooms with sea views, you can note it as a preference in your reservation and we try our best but never confirm it. In this case the only request we had was a double bed, just as you had.Regarding the parking, sometimes it's difficult to find parking in the surrounding area and that's why we have several parking spaces reserved in a nearby parking lot.Kind regards

The location is so perfect, right on a lovely beach, and the ability to rent 4 poster sunbeds was a special touch. You get waiter service! The rooms are quirky but beautiful with large comfy beds and sea views. There is a hot tub and a few sunbeds on the roof which we used, and noone elsie was there. There is also an honesty bar, which we disnt use. Only tiny downside was when we went downstairs to order breakfast, the waitress was very standoffish and i felt uncomfortable. That wouldnt stop me going back and i would highly recommend this hotel.

Close to the beach, has a restaurant underneath, walkable distance to other restaurants. My room had a view to the beach but small shower. My son’s was facing the back street, a bit noisy. We were able to catch a bus to downtown and the market. Nice tub and self serve bar on roof.

Please do not go to this property. I will be devastated if its suddenly overbooked as I definitely plan on returning. Like every year. And renting the whole place out with all my friends. Just so we can hang out with the friendly staff, try all their awesome tea, eat too many bunealos, and sample their eclectic digestives. I might even remember to rent a scooter and go to Malaga- the actual reason for staying there!

Such a nice quaint hotel great location on the beach (can rent chairs/umbrella 8€ per day) if don't want the busyness of the city and wonderful area to walk at night and stop for a drink on patios. Room very clean, hot tub on terrace and honesty bar amazing! The restaurant on property had excellent food and service! Isabelle at front desk so helpful. Easy to take city bus #3 to city centre and wonderful areas to see. Looking forward to another stay!

Perfect spot
It was a perfect spot for an easy short break. 15 minutes from airport. Hotel clean and in super location. Hotel food is very good and popular with locals. Classical muscians play on the breakfast terrace each morning. Room: bed comfy, bathroom small but serviceable, limited storage and mirrors. Go to sleep to the sound of the waves and head out in the morning for fresh fish lunches-wonderful.

Wonderful Sea Views, Hotel is on the beach
Great location great breakfast large room with good shower - we were off the roof deck so our room only had a skylight but there were lovely views of the sea from the roof deck. Nobody used the jacuzzi on the deck as it was too cold. We would have preferred twin beds but we're given a king size bed and it was comfortable. Our room was very quiet, this is December. It was so pleasant having breakfast in the hotel restaurant with fab sea view and a musician playing violin or guitar in the background. We stayed three nights and really felt sorry to leave such a lovely area. Transit to the old town is easy and the traffic free zone around the hotel makes walking enjoyable. The staff were helpful and pleasant. Loved it.

Hotel is just steps away from the beautiful beach.
I stayed with my brother in this hotel for two nights. The overall stay was good, if you want the hotel close to the beach it is for you. It is also close to shopping centre, and city centre. I don't have a good news for ladies, the hair dryer is absolutely useless, it's so old and takes almost 1 hour to dry your hair. So take your own hair dryer if you planning to stay there. However I have a good new that the night time waiter called Nacho is very handsome ;)

Friendly and helpful staff. No dresser to put clothing in. No fridge. Hotel not sound proof so loud in the morning and can hear patio crowd at night. LImited tv channels. But the positive is the beach location. Can't beat it.

Great location - if you can find it
The best thing about this hotel is the fantastic location outside the Malaga city center on the beach, and within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. We had a rental car with GPS and still had a difficult time finding the location of this hotel, which must be accessed via a pedestrian walkway. It took 3 calls to break through the language barrier to find the hotel and and then paid parking within walking distance. Otherwise, we had a small bedroom and cramped bathroom with old fixtures; but the hotel has a nice roof deck, and what looked like a popular downstairs bar. Overall, it was a decent value for the location - now that I know how to get there.

Great short break, couldn't wish for more
Arrived late evening. Staff welcoming and very friendly. Room had sea view. Restaurant excellent quality, but not expensive. Eating whilst seated on the terrace gave a lovely sea view, and the terrace has glass panels which may be shut by the staff to keep out any chill wind without obscuring the view. Whilst not every room has a sea view, I don't believe this would be a problem as the hotel is opposite the sea-front, with a narrow promenade separating the hotel from the beach. Recommend you also take a walk along the beach or promenade. The one thing which may deter some people is that the hotel is not near the centre of Malaga, however the transport links are excellent, with buses every 10 minutes, and a taxi from the bus station costing approx 10 Euros. Oou only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We will definietely be back.

Pleasant stay with exquisite culinary experience
We stayed only one night in that hotel before our flight back to Canada. The hotel is conveniently located by the beach promenade and has outstanding restaurant. Fabulous location (30 min by taxi from the airport). The place is very clean… but the room we has was extremely small. We travel light but even with our small luggage we had no place to walk around after we opened our suitcase. The washroom door did not close unless you forced it pass the toilet. Bed was big and comfortable. It was one night, so we put up with some inconveniences. We thought that we booked the room with the view on the sea, but we were told that was not the case. You need to double check the site you are ordering from. It was a pleasant stay for short time with exquisite culinary experience.

Information about our night stay
We had one of their apartments at the beach..great location however..kids EVERYWHERE and no consideration of others..extremely loud,next to bars,etc..sounded like people (and kids) on our Terence. We couldn't sit out side and enjoy the view. Our in room safe did not work, the key to the door very difficult to open..had to play with it each time, not a safe feeling at night. Oalso, the key didn't work from outside of building to access front desk,etc. Staff very nice no doubt,but very disappointed.we stayed the one night but had to move. People (and kids) out front of our place til after 2am.. We found out rentals and a residential area. It's fine for someone that doesn't care about any of that stuff. We are working on getting a refund for the other 3nights.

Terrible customer service- would not recommend
The positive aspects of this hotel is that it is located right in front of a beach. However, it all stops there. There is never anyone to help you at this hotel. The staff are all concerned with running the restaurant attached to the hotel (a common theme in many reviews). They only have a single receptionist who works in the morning and the reception is closed at night (not ideal if there is an emergency). On our last day, we had requested for a taxi to the airport for 5 am. The taxi didn't show up and as there is no receptionist we had no help. We had to scramble to find a taxi and almost missed our flight. We also had several requests for the room that went uncompleted (windows that wouldn't close properly). Outside of the little beach strip in front of this hotel, there is nothing around to see as this is located in the Eastern part of town. So it's pretty far from the city center and any other landmarks. Given the high price of this hotel and terrible customer service, we will not return here.
