Pros:

Jó helyen van, a személyzet nagyon kedves volt, a reggeli vacsora finom és változatos volt

Cons:

Wellness szállodaként foglaltuk, de nem üzemelt az edzőterem, folyamatos felújítások voltak, fúrásra ébredtünk reggel, 2 reggel nem volt víz egyáltalán - ezekről előre senki nem szólt. A szállodában is és az udvarában is folyamatosan munkásokba botlottunk.

Friendly hotel near Málaga airport with fabulous sea views
Pros:

Great hotel and big room with a balcony overlooking the sea. The staff knew it was my birthday and brought us a complimentary bottle of cava. Also, there were complimentary sweets, a drink in the bar, water and glass water bottles. The breakfast was amazing too

Pros:

Grundsätzlich ein schönes Hotel, große Zimmer mit Balkon und Blicks aufs Meer.
Freundliches Personal und leckeres Frühstück.
Es gab eine kostenpflichtige Parkmöglichkeit, man kann aber auch problemlos kostenlos an der Straße vor dem Hotel parken.

Cons:

Leider war während unseres Aufenthalts überall im Haus verteilt Baustelle. Wir wurden weder vor noch bei unserer Ankunft über entstehende Unannehmlichkeiten informiert.
Das Fitnessstudio war wegen Renovierung leider komplett geschlossen, worüber wir ebenfalls nicht informiert wurden.
Die Öffnungszeiten des Pools (11-18 Uhr) waren leider sehr kurz, zusätzlich wurde der Pool leider nicht gerade sauber gehalten.
