Pros:

Sehr gute Lage des Hotels,sehr freundliche und kompetente Mitarbeiter! Traumhafter Strand,Pool und Garten fein mit kleinen Verbesserungen!Es herrscht Rauchverbot am Pool,es gibt Ausnahmen da einige Leute ungeniert am Pool rauchten!Uns wurde gesagt es herrscht Rauchverbot am Pool! Frühstück ausgezeichnet,Abendessen hat nicht ganz überzeugt!Gott sei Dank gibt es genügend Restaurants in der Umgebung und an der Promenade.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig und wurden täglich von den sehr freundlichen Zimmermädchen gereinigt.Die Veranstaltungen werden gut organisiert und toll angekündigt und die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter tanzen,singen mit voller Begeisterung und Können.Das WLAN funktionierte bei mir den ganzen Aufenthalt nicht im Hotel,Pool und Strand.Das TV am Abend war mit vielen Störungen während der Sendungen immer unterbrochen.

Amazing!
Pros:

Fabulous stay. Made my birthday extra special. (Thank you again)! Entertainment good fun, aerobics in the pool, bingo with raquel in the afternoons who was brilliant (and it’s free!) Singers in the afternoon and the evening. Nice to have music around the pool some days. Great location, on the beach and 15 min walk to the train to get to Malaga in 30 minutes. Lots of choice at breakfast. Did not have a problem getting a sunbed even at 1pm. The hotel smells beautiful. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for a great stay!!

Cons:

If I have to be extremely picky. The nachos were expensive for a small amount (€8).
It was a packet of nachos served with cheese dip on the side.

A great stay which ended on a bit of a sour note.
Pros:

We loved the history and the location of the hotel. Great to be so close to the beach with no road in the way. Our room had a fantastic balcony.

Cons:

Our only complaint was the lack of facilities for guests who are checking out but have a later flight. We asked for a late checkout to our room but were told this was unavailable. We were then surprised to be told that there were no changing or showering facilities available for guests in that position. We found this unusual for a 4 star holiday hotel and felt that this was poor customer service.

Super Hotel on the Promenade
Pros:

Visited hotel for 7 nights in June with my sister. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis in a pool view/side sea view room. Rooms were large enough with ample storage. Bathroom big with walk in shower. A kettle was supplied with tea/coffee etc. The cleaning staff kept the room and all areas of the hotel immaculately clean. They did a great job.
Breakfast was plentiful and fresh with a large variety of food. Everything was quickly replenished and tables cleared very fast.
The hotel has an amazing entertainment team. Various activities took place throughout the day and we particularly enjoyed then aqua classes which took place every day at 11.30am. This was followed by bingo at 12.30 pm. The team are great fun and encouraging to everyone: A special shout out to Rachael a super asset to the hotel.
There are plenty of restaurants in the area offering all types of food and reasonably priced.
I would highly recommend the hotel
