Hotel was very nice, food was good - little disappointed about the all inclusive, it’s really only for the pool bar, lobby bar and buffet. You need to stay 7 nights to get a meal at the other restaurant and the sky bar isn’t included. Pools were ok, adult pool is pretty much full shape and like you’re in a small enclosure And the elevators…lobby is on floor 8 and beach is on floor 1, 3 elevators get you there but they are small and stop everywhere because people push buttons and then give up waiting - very inefficient

Beautiful property, severely let down by the lifts! The lifts, 4 very small, working off two diffierny call system's covering a huge hotel, which clearly is not sufficient. Multiple complaints heard from other guests on a regular basis. The pools are a let down, as the adult pool is very overcrowded with too many beds in a small space. The pool is lovely but in need of a good clean as algae is all around the top of the pool. The other pool is like a butlins affair. Loud music all the time putting you off if you want to relax. Hence why the adult pool is overcrowded. Otherwise the hotel is beautiful.

The website and advertising portray this as a nice hotel for adults. Not adults only but not screaming children everywhere. Every meal, in the bars, in the halls. Both pools are enclosed by metal fences which impede the view of the ocean. Plexi-glass would work and be more asthetic. We could not check in until after 4:00. The hotel sent us a bottle of the house sparkling wine and an apology. The food was better than most all inclusives but they did run out of some popular dishes. The staff was very nice, professional and courteous.

We liked the location, We did not like the fact that the hotel have no facilities on the beach you have to pay for the bed and parasol because it does not belong to the hotel , it’s not private it’s open for the public . the shower coming from the beach does not work , so you have to cross the restaurant go all the way up to the swimming pool just to have a shower , they will charge you 1 euro to change the beach towel which I found ridiculous, the steam room and sauna are on the basement you can only have access from the first floor it’s not convenient at all .

I had a fantastic stay and I could not find a fault with this hotel. There was a culture of politeness and friendliness amongst the staff, from the front desk to the cleaners and all the others. They were so welcoming. The hotel was so clean and there was a of things to do on the premises like live music in the evenings, the food and the bars and restaurants. There was also direct access to the beach. The views were stunning. I was there with my daughter and we loved it and I would come again and again. I highly recommend it.

We stayed in June 2024. The hotel was busy but not full. Hotel was lovely, clean and has very friendly staff. Great food choices and drinks are available all day. Facilities in the rooms are adequate although hairdryer is basic. They have a good range of toiletries, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, hand soap and body lotion all available and plentiful. However I was glad I took my own shampoo and conditioner, as it’s better quality. I would not recommend for the physically disabled though, as the pool is not easily accessible by wheelchair, there is a lift to the ground floor where a pool is but you have to negotiate a steep ramp. The other pools are a short walk from hotel and on our experience well run and we didn’t have to fight for a bed as they don’t allow anyone into the pool areas before 10 am and there’s no tolerance of bed hogging. A few bars and pool bars are all inclusive but some are not and there’s only one main restaurant which is all inclusive. The other restaurants are paying. The near by village has a couple of nice restaurants and the train and buses/taxis are all excellent and close by. The main resort of Benalmádena harbour/old town is a €12-15 taxi ride away. You can get to Benalmádena,Fuengirola and Marbs by train cheaply, which the station is excellent and close to hotel. Nightly entertainment is very good but on Friday through to Sunday, it’s held in the paying bars, so not free. All in all a great stay.
