Great hotel with a fairly large beach that you could snorkel off. Pool was a little busier than I would’ve liked and we had difficulty finding chairs first. Great food at the buffets. Would definitely stay here again.

Great staff, clean and lovely hotel. We enjoyed the pools, the spa and the bars and restaurants. The food options were great and they catered well for one of us who was gluten free. Location is a bit away from the lively areas but easily accessible by a quick taxi ride. We took a taxi to the Benalmadena marina for a boat trip. Was 11 euros each way.

Loved having a balcany overlooking the water. Lots of different activities available as well as restaurants and bars. Some of the pool hours were a little limited and the dinner buffet wasn't worth the price but there are many local restaurants near by

Location is a bit out of the way from the main areas but that can be no bad thing. The views and beach location are great. Loved the rooftop bar and the staff were friendly. Only downside was the food which I found quite limited and repetitive. Otherwise everything was pretty positive.

Dirty, careless staff. I’ve never felt THIS detached and unwanted in any hotel in my life before. They don’t even have sheets that COMPLETELY cover the mattress, I was waking up touching the dirty matttess every morning, because I had moved in my sleep. I do NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.
