Pros:

Sehr schönes rustikales Hotel mit tollen Service, gutem Frühstück mit toller Aussicht. Sehr bequeme Betten, großräumiges Zimmer und temperierter Pool. Die Mitarbeiterinnen sind super freundlich, die Umgebung ist sehr entspannt und man kann einige Wanderungen unternehmen.

Cons:

Ein Kühlschrank auf dem Zimmer wäre toll, da es in der direkten Umgebung abends kaum Restaurants gibt.

Nice hotel, nice location
Pros:

The staff were lovely - very friendly and welcoming. It was a pleasure to sit in the dining-room or on the terrace with views down the valley. The breakfast was good. Istan was a pleasant place to explore and there were loads of walks that you could do from the hotel. For the intrepid, try the ascent of La Concha, the mountain that overlooks Marbella !

Cons:

I can't think of anything in particular. I really enjoyed my stay here. For those arriving by bus, there are only 3 services a day from Marbella.

Fui enganado. A dona é falsa.
Pros:

Gostei da paisagem.

Cons:

A dona é falsa e traiçoeira, quando chegamos (grupo de 11 pessoas) disse que oferecia uma bebida de boas vindas, no final cobrou o valor, o pequeno almoço é fraco e de má qualidade (uma fatia de pão apenas), pedimos ovos e mais sumo, não referiu que era pago à parte, cada ovo custou 4€, aproveitou-se da nossa estadia para inflaccionar tudo, fiz reclamação verbal pelo facto da senhora não estar a ser honesta e ela referiu sem educação que os portugueses são pobres. Graças a Deus que o dinheiro não me faz falta, mas não gosto de ser roubado. Nunca mais ali vou, não recomendo.
