Très bon séjour !
Pros:

Le confort des chambres, la nourriture bonne pour une demi pension, le service au restaurant et au bar, la piscine, le personnel du restaurant et de la piscine !

Cons:

Nous n’avons rien « pas aimé » véritablement mais il manque d’informations sur l’hôtel lorsqu’on arrive à l’accueil, notre réservation est prise mais ça s’arrête là.

Happy overall with our visit and would recommend as near to the port, bars etc.. but out of the way
Pros:

breakfast great, gym okay, a good couples retreat as very quiet and an older crowd,

Cons:

I left my Apple watch in the room on the day of checkout as the strap was broken so I couldn't wear it but the watch was not there on return to the room to pack and checkout. Housekeeping didn't hand anything in but on my Apple 'FindMy' App the last location pinged was the hotel.

Overall we enjoyed the stay, great breakfast/dinner bufet
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay, hotel is in nice calm neighborhood. Nice interior. Rooms are tidy and comfortable. Breakfast bufet has plenty of choice- everything fresh and tasty, magnificent views of the sea while having breakfast or dinner.

Cons:

Lack of information about activities, we had to ask about every interest of ours. During the diner we missed tea, table water - all at extra charge. Sunbeds are being reserved and there is no place at the pool, others more fancy sunbeds are at extra cost 80Eur. Indoor pool for extra charge. The dinner time from 19:30 was quite late for us

Все хорошо
Pros:

Отель со свежим ремонтом, новая мебель и все атрибуты. В целом хорошие завтраки. В минуте от отеля автобусы до Малага.
Аэропорт -20 минут
Персонал тоже отличный.
Вай фай для работы работает тоже хорошо.

Мне понравилось больше чем в Марбелья, удобно на набережной разные кафе и рестораны

Cons:

Еще пока есть ощущение что не все отмыто от ремонта, в комнате на полу как будто легкая пыль.

Ekstra wypoczynek.
Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja z windą na promenadę nadmorską. Świetne miejsce na relaks i wypoczynek. Obiekt ma wyposażenie dla dorosłych z bilardem spa i muzyką na żywo.
Ekspres kawowy i czajnik do herbaty. Super wygodne łózko i ekstra widok z balkonu na morze.
Polecam 🙂

Cons:

Brak możliwości zamówienia pakietu śniadaniowego przy wczesnym wyjeździe.
