Parador ayant vécu avec une très belle vue
Pros:

Une vue magnifique sur la baie de Malaga même si le port est un port de commerce moins agréable qu’un port de plaisance

Cons:

Le personnel reste un personnel de Parador : peu souriant et manquant de dynamisme. On a toujours le sentiment de gêner sauf pour le personnel qui fait les chambres : très agréable
Décoration et équipements d’un autre temps…

Pros:

The view from the hotel is amazing!

Cons:

Receptionists are super slow and lazy to take guests. The isolation of the room is VERY POOR! We can hear everything that were going on with the rooms next to and above ours. We had POOR SLEEP EVERY NIGHT. Can’t have peace/quietness in our own room. We heard every walking step of the room above us. Horrible isolation

We loved the location. The view was great. Plenty of places to park.

Our stay was great. We couldn't get a table outside at dinner which was a shame as the view was exceptional.

The views were incredible, we had an enjoyable stay
Pros:

The views were incredible.

Cons:

There were a couple of little things, the roof top pool was a little tired and a couple of areas inside the pool needed a deep clean. Also at breakfast there could have been more staff.

Tranquilidad en un sitio inmejorable
Pros:

La ubicacion es inmejorable. Estando en verano alli arriba hay una Brisa. Las vistas son
spectaculares. El personnal atentos, sobre todo los camereros. La comida rica. Las camas comodas y la habitation grande. La entrada es bonita y el salon bien decorado.

Cons:

El desayuno es muy caro para lo que se ofrece. De las cosas cocinadas solo hay huevos, nada de salchichas, pancakes, etc.
El mobiliario de las habitaciones es muy antiguo y necesita ser renovada.

Perched above the hubbub, lovely spot to stay and hang out.
Pros:

Amazing views, pleasant temperature compared to sea level Malaga. Breezy and fresh. Nice spacious rooms.
Walking distance to old town or through woods to the sea front.

Cons:

Worth noting that the walk is steep and tricky if you’re not pretty fit.
The coffee is relentlessly awful!!

Die Lage des Hotels ist einfach perfekt!
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels mit seiner Aussicht auf Màlaga ist einfach wunderschön. Wir hatten unser Zimmer im obersten Stockwerk und hatten einen genialen Ausblick von unserem Balkon aus. Die kleine Poolanlage ist für ein Sonnenbad nach einem Sightseeing-Tag sehr schön und gemütlich.
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war i.O. aber nicht 5 Sterne wert. Das Badezimmer war groß, aber leider gab es eine Badewanne, in welcher man duschen musste. Für ein 5 Sterne Hotel hätte ich mir eine moderne, neue Dusche vorgestellt.
Die Snackkarte im Restaurant lässt zu wünschen übrig. Das Sandwich mit Chips, das wir am Nachmittag bestellt haben, war erstens überhaupt nicht lecker und zweitens den Preis nicht wert.
