What our customers say
We stayed at the hotel for 10 days half board. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, some spoke limited English, but we felt this added to the charm of the place and made us feel we were in the real Spain and not a Brits abroad tourist hotel.
Most of the guests were British or Spanish and there wasn't too much of the "towels on sunbeds at dawn" that you can suffer from, in fact there were generally sunbeds available at most times of day around what was the real Jewel in the Crown, the huge pool.
There was always plenty of room in the pool to relax or play and it and the toddlers pool were supervised well during the daytime. Children were kept reasonably well entertained with various games and activities during most of the days if required and the mini-golf and tennis courts were free to use subject to a small deposit for equipment.
The food was generally excellent, it was served buffet style, breakfast was especially good, plenty of cereals, fruit, breads, and a hot selection of traditional English Breakfast goodies, even the bacon was up to our standards. The evening meals were a bit more hit and miss, there was plenty of delicious salads etc for starters but the main courses took a bit of guesswork as they were not always identifable and even the staff had to go into the kitchen for some help, that said, once you knew what was on your plate it was usually enjoyable. If you were a dessert person, the trick was to eat early, as the popular puddings ran out fairly quickly.
The rooms were quite spacious, we had a family room (double bed, pull out bed and a sofa/bed) the maid service was excellent, cleaned & tidied every day. There was the tiniest fridge imaginable hidden in the cupboard, but we managed to cope. The hotel lobby and restaurant areas were lovely, air conditioned & spotlessly clean.
We hired a car for the duration of our visit and found this to be a big advantage as the Hotel is a little remote, and it enabled us to go into Fuengirola or Mijas and to other attractions as & when we pleased although we spoke with other people who used the bus service and found that to be quite adequate.
All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and will definately return, if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing break with a bit of luxury at a very reasonable price, I don't think you could beat this place.
