War ein schöner Aufenthalt
Pros:

Die céntrale Lage ist Perfect
Paula und Romina sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und arbeiten professionell
Die Dachterrasse mit Pool und Bar ist super schön!! Auch dort das Personal sehr freundlich!!!
Ich habe nur einmal dort zu Mittag gegessen und das war sehr lecker !!

Cons:

Zwei kleine Punkte
Das Fenster im Zimmer lässt sich nicht groß öffnen, weil die schweren Gardinen Stores davor sind!! Man kann sie nicht zur Seite schieben, da das Fenster mit der Wand abschließt !!so fällt das offene Fenster immer wieder zu !!!schade, denn in den kühlen Morgenstunden wäre frische Luft schön
Das Frühstück ist ok!!!mehr leider nicht
Es gibt kaum brotauswahl!! Aufgeschnittene Scheiben Toastbrot und Mini Brötchen , die so weiß sind, dass man Mitleid bekommt!! Man kann sie im Salamander toasten, was sie aber nicht bräunt, sondern härter macht!!!
Meistens kann man in 4 Sterne Hotels beim Frühstück auch Eierspeisen bestellen, die dann frisch gereicht werden, ist zwar alles da aber nicht so appetitlich !!!
Die Station mit den Orangensäften zum selber pressen ist sehr unsauber, schmierig, überall klebriger Saft !! Das geht auch anders…. Besser eine mit Orangen gefüllte automatische Presse, bei der man nur sein Glas darunter hält

Aber , ich komme gern wieder , ein hotel zum wohlfühlen , nur ohne frühstücksbuchung

Boa estadia.
Pros:

O pequeno-almoço não se distanciou de hotéis e Paradores de igual categoria... com um pequeno senão - um preço um pouco acima dos de igual categoria.
Gostei da localização. Já escolhi o hotel por ser o meu hotel de preferência, durante muitos anos. quando ia a Marbella (Hotel Sam Cristobal).

Cons:

O preço do Pequeno almoço.

Thank you for excellent service at the reception, in the restaurant, and at the 360⁰ bar 🙂👍🏽

Short walk to city centre and the beach.

It was a fabulous location close to the old town and in walking distance to the beach! Loved it!!
