Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had amazing rooms that were very nice and different in a good way. The food quality was good, but the view of the garden instead of the sea was a little disappointing. The rooms were really big with a nice view; however, there was a severe damp problem.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were old and didn't work properly but provided a wonderful view of the Strait of Gibraltar on clear days. However, being just above the swimming pool for babies and young children made it very noisy when trying to relax on the terrace. The rooms were basic and in need of improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, opening directly onto beautiful gardens. The service was excellent, with pleasant and helpful staff. The location was superb, with lovely gardens, a great pool, and breathtaking views of the sea. The dining experience was delightful with plenty of fresh options, although English sausages were missing. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a fantastic stay.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a uniquely laid out bathroom allowing for a nice view and convenient pool access. The exceptional service, including a special birthday gesture, stands out. However, the lack of towel changes and coffee restocking was noticeable. The location provides stunning views, beach access, and smooth operations, although limited dining options nearby. Dining offers a great selection but can be a bit pricey. Overall, a phenomenal experience marred only slightly by minor service gaps and location limitations.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with very big rooms and spacious bathrooms. It was a fantastic experience considering the value for money. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially when they upgraded all three rooms for my family celebrating my 65th birthday. The location is one of the best things about this hotel, with a lovely sandy beach nearby, though I would have appreciated waiter service at the pool. The dining options were very good, especially the vast breakfast buffet with freshly cooked options. The facilities were top-notch and catered to our needs perfectly.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The large rooms with nice balconies were comfortable, but mosquitoes in the room on the first night caused a bit of disturbance. It was also disappointing that the sea view we booked was not provided.
I have mixed feelings about the hotel. The rooms were nice even though we booked a King Size Bed and got two single beds, but they smelt a bit damp; however, the views of the grounds and seafront were lovely. The rooms are large, and so are the common areas like the reception, swimming pool, and hotel gardens. The service was excellent, with staff going out of their way to provide recommendations for exploring Andalusia, but they forgot to return something when requested. The location is great if you don't plan on leaving the hotel premises with easy access to the beach, a huge pool, and a dreamlike view, but if you want more outside options, Rhona and Tarifa are nearby. The dining experience was a bit chaotic at times, but the selection was good; however, the price per person seemed high for what was offered. Overall, a decent stay.
The hotel offers spacious and beautifully decorated rooms with lovely views. Although the jacuzzi style bath did not seem to work and our terrace was noisy due to its proximity to the children's pool, the overall experience was great. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to make our family vacation wonderful. The location provides private beach access and a dreamlike setting, though it's a bit isolated. Dining had a good variety but could improve. The facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with all expected amenities, friendly service in most areas, a great location with views of the sea, Gibraltar, and North Africa, and a lovely dining experience with plenty of choices. However, there were issues with cleanliness, some unfriendly staff, and distance from Estepona requiring taxi rides.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was great but had an issue with the bed arrangement. Service was top-notch, and the location was nice but a bit far from some attractions. Dining was a hit or miss.
The hotel is located between Marbella and Gibraltar, upgraded to a tower room with amazing views. The rooms are so lovely, the service was very helpful and enthusiastic. The dining experience was excellent with an out-of-this-world variety. Close to the beach, the location is great, offering easy access to beautiful towns.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was fantastic, right on the beach with complimentary sunbeds facing towards the sea. The service was top-notch every day, although a bit off-putting not to see efforts to combat bugs. The location was really good, with private access to a lovely sandy beach, despite feeling a bit isolated. The dining offered a good variety of foods, although some improvements are needed. Overall, a great experience with minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a stunning sea view from the rooms, but there were issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The lack of room service options was a drawback, although the proximity to the beach was a plus.
