Lovely experience with friendly staff, spotlessly clean rooms and public areas, great food and probably the best views in Malaga! Easy access by local bus (hourly during the day) if you don't fancy the walk. Need to book a table in advance if you want to enjoy your meal on the restaurant balcony. A top class Parador!

Beautiful views, charming older hotel. Not central but a path is there to bring you down to the center.....albeit it's fairly steep. Only downside I would say is that there is no service at the pool. The restaurant is very good.

I was charmed by this Parador. So beautiful. Loved breakfast on the terrace with amazing views over Malaga and the Med. Great little pool with sun-beds on the rooftop. Also a very handy bus stop close to the Parador. So easy to go into busy Malaga centre then back to the peace of the Parador.
