Recomendo a 100%
Pros:

Todos os funcionários com muita educação e muito bem dispostos a ajudar , muita bom atendimento, muito acolhedor, quartos super bem confortáveis, quarto bem grande com uma vista maravilhosa

Cons:

O único detalhe a falar foi mesmo na cabine do chuveiro, devido a não estar bem fixa a porta e estar sempre a sair água para fora da cabine

Good views in great location for park runners
Pros:

The view from room across Gibraltar Bay is stunning

The location adjacent to Botanical Gardens where parkrun is held is ideal for park runners

The service was good although checkin not until 15.00 is a bit a a drawback especially when checkout is 11.00. It aint a full day !!

Cons:

Check out time too early or check in time too late

Its expensive for what is a small room

Sorry Rock Hotel based on my experience and stay was severely over priced and unless a healthy sim is spent on it I can
Pros:

The lounge was comfortable and the views from there were fantastic

Cons:

Although the lounge was good the rooms were very tired and in need of a major update.

The cost per night is much to high based on its current condition.

Also outside tables were left dirty and it seems that the hotel is short staffed

Well past its prime.
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Dirty hotel, unhelpful staff at reception and in the restaurant, terrible coffee and rancid fruit at breakfast, shower tray blocked and leaked across bathroom floor.

Expensive hotel for the service and amenities compared to wonderful options on our stay across southern Spain.
