Pros:

Hotel priamo pri mori, nádherný výhľad, výborné raňajky a ochotní usmiati recepční

Cons:

Izby by vyžadovali rekonštrukciu, prístelka nevyhovujúca, bola cítiť plesňou, hotel dosť vzdialený od mesta, možnosti stravovania v čase obeda žiadne

Отель хороший , но он не в Малаге, а рядом .
Pros:

Отель хороший , есть новые корты для падла и хороший тренер по падлу.

Cons:

Это не Малага, это возле Малаги ( Гуадальмар). До Малаги на такси 15 минут в одну сторону по счетчику цены за такси были разными от 20 до 40 евро. Есть автобус , но он ходит не часто , долго ждать и долго ехать . Мы были в мае -спа центр был закрыт на ремонт. Море было холодным , поэтому мы пляжем практически не пользовались .ездили в Малагу на экскурсии и в Марбелью. Такси в Марбелью обошлось 60 евро в одну сторону. Расположение отеля и сам формат будет хорошим для тех, кому нравится очень спокойный отдых , вдали от цивилизации , есть свой пляж на первой линии, летом скорее всего намного лучше. Подойдет для семей с детьми, кому не хочется ходить и не интересуют экскурсии, поездки , достопримечательности .

Pros:

The staff was very kind and able to help anytime.

Cons:

In the terrace of the apartment It was a permanent bad smell and we couldn't enjoy it because of that.

The batroom door was making a big noise while opening/ closing it. And that was disturbing the sleeping of the others in the room when anyone was going to the batroom and the others were sleeping.

Hotel hodnotíme celkovo pozitívne, odporúčame sa ale zamyslieť sa nad konceptom polpenzie.
Pros:

Hotel bol v dobrej lokalite. V hoteli bolo čisto, zariadenie bolo krásne a moderné. Oceňujeme izbu s balkónom. Na raňajkách bol veľký výber, raňajkové jedlo bolo chutné.

Cons:

Boli sme prekvapené, že keď sme si zaplatili v hoteli polpenziu, večeru sme mali bez akýchkoľvek nápojov. Nedostali sme ani čistú vodu. Precestovali sme rôzne krajiny, ale s týmto sme sa ešte nestretli. Výber jedla na večeri bol slabší. V jedálni boli nepraktické stoly, boli nestabilné a malé. Terasa na raňajkách nebola prístupná, otvorila sa až keď bol väčší počet ľudí.
