Nice place in the middle of greenhouse ocean
Pros:

Quite a nice place, right between big, noisy cities of Malaga, Almeria and Granada. If you're looking for a calm and quiet place near the sea this is the place for you. Not much except that to do in the area though.

Cons:

In the room there was virtually noting except beds and bathroom. Not even en electric kettle or glasses, so if you want to have a tea or a glass of Spanish wine after a long journey, you'll have to go to the restaurant.
The receptionist was nice but asked if there's a place to park a car, she stated firmly "NO, you can't park here". Asked straight forward if it's legal to leave the car on the large car park behind the building, she admitted it is. Not sure why.

Excelente
Pros:

Excelente atención, y el hotel cumplió con todo lo q ofrecía, cama cómoda y la ducha andaba perfecto. Lo q mas me gustó es q la ventana tenía una persiana por lo que no entraba nada de sol durante el día y se podía dormir muy bien

Cons:

Todo bien

Pros:

La ubicación del hotel es muy buena, el restaurante se come muy muy bien, los baños estaban reformados pero las habitaciones me gustaría un poco más amplias. Es cierto que tuve problemas para meter la cuna, lo comunique en recepción y en seguida me resolvieron el problema.

Cons:

Nada estaba todo acordé

Pros:

La verdad que no me gustó nada, pero lo reservé por error y no me quedó otra opción que hospedarnos allí.

Cons:

La limpieza deja muchísimo que desear,el baño en general daba asco, nos tuvimos que meter a la bañera con chanclas para no pisar la suciedad, el armario y las mesas de noche con polvo pero no de un día que no se limpie,era suciedad acumulada y los cojines de las camas con mal olor, espero que se hagan una idea de lo mal que está el " hotel"
