Stunning
Pros:

Absolutely stunning. Great location, great room , great staff, lovely pool. Delicious food.

Cons:

The only thing I would have liked is for the TV to be a smart TV so I could watch YouTube instead of local channels but everything here is superb.

Pros:

Da paisagem envolvente.

Cons:

NÃO RECOMENDO.
Oportunismo, vigarice e falta de empatia de quem gere o espaço.
Pequeno almoço incluído é um embuste, meio copo sumo laranja ( não natural) se pedir mais tem custos de 2,5€, perguntamos se tinha ovos dizem que sim e depois mais 4€ , pedimos café expresso mais 2€ extra, ou seja no primeiro dia mais 8€ e tal sem se avisar dos custos adicionais, depois quando questionada sobre porque não informou dos custos, referiu que se dissesse não iríamos consumir, ofereceu bebidas de boas vindas no dia de recepção e depois no dia seguinte cobrou as bebidas e ainda disse que os Portugueses são pobres que gosta é de ingleses, alemães e outros países que não Portugal.
Piscina com excesso de cloro e sem controlo do PH, ficamos com ardor nos olhos e na pele.
NUNCA MAIS.
TRISTEZA DE GESTÃO VERGONHOSA. 😡😡😡

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.
