Pros:

Все сподобалось 🇺🇦 великі номери, брендова косметика, чисто, привітний персонал, дуже красивий вид на гольф поле, басейн, спортзал маленький, але позайматися можно👍

Cons:

Далеко від моря, без машини пішки не дійдеш. Це єдине, що було не зручно.

Our stay was truly lovely.
Pros:

We loved our room, very spacious and comfortable. We also loved the pool area, very tranquil and beautiful.

Cons:

I was disappointed with the restaurant facilities. The dining experience was okay but not what I expected.
We were basically eating in the Bar area where golfers were welcomed for drinks and snacks.
The food was lovely, but a separate dining area would have improved the whole experience.

Beautiful place
Pros:

Chose this hotel primarily because of its location to the hospital as we were visiting my sister there. It was a very stressful time and this place was an absolute calm oasis after days spent in the hospital. We had three enormous rooms, with balconies looking out over the golf course. It's very well set out and the showers were wonderful. Breakfast is in a separate building and was buffet style and plentiful. The hotel is beautifully decorated and has black and white photos everywhere showing previous guests like Brigitte Bardot. The hotel and grounds are beautifully maintained and in a lovely area but with easy access to Marbella and the surrounding area.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely hotel, beautifully furnished, with amazing views , friendly staff and great pool .
Pros:

Angela welcomed us on arrival , she was very helpful & informed.
Beautiful small hotel set in a well manicured golf course.
Rooms are amazing & spacious, we were in a family group with rooms nearby on the same floor, which was helpful.

Cons:

Breakfast food was well set out , however, outside tables were limited with the two larger ones at entrance doors. There was a large group of men ( stag ) which we had to negotiate past to make it to our table, which we pulled together so we could sit together.
Lots of tables made up inside, however , in my experience most like to sit outside when the weather is good. More tables made up outside would be my suggestion!
