  Sunbed and sunshade

  Good entertainment for kids with the pool, slides and activities. Adult pool pretty small but great big shallow pool for toddlers. Lots of sunbeds in different areas. Room was good size with mini fridge and safe. Balcony tiny but was ok for me. Nice grounds. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Staff generally good. Restaurant was busy most of the time. I wasn't a fan of the food. Although the beach (lovely), shops, supermarket and restaurants are nearby, the walk from the hotel next to the dual carriageway is on a very narrow pavement. I didn't feel safe on it and definitely wouldn't use it in the dark. There didn't seem to be a route from the back of the hotel as the gates were locked. Maybe another route could be a possibility? There's a small market on a Friday and Saturday at the nearby square to the right of the hotel. Good and cheap public transport links to Marbella and Malaga. Get the bus to Marbella. Nice vibe there. Or get a taxi to Fuengirola and then take the train to Malaga. Trains run every half hour.

  Not a 4 star, more like a 3 star

  We came here with 7 people from work for a 4 day golfing holiday. I'll try and keep this short and sweet with bullet points: Good points: 1 Room was kept clean and cleaning staff were fast and efficient Bad Points: 1 Location of hotel is horrendous with next to nothing close by on a major dual carriageway, its 10 Km in one direction from Marbella centre and 20Km in the other direction to Fuengirola 2 Food is terrible, poor choice, poor quality with bizarre things like garden peas for breakfast. 3 Drinks are poor, bottles of water are 1 euro at reception (surely this should be included at an all inclusive) 4 I'd rate this as a 3 star hotel, no way is it a 4 star. 5 Gym is very poor 6 You can't actually get anywhere by walking from the hotel as there are no paths that go anywhere apart from a dodgy one that runs along the crash barriers to the dual carriageway Info: Number 220 bus from the bus stop outside the hotel takes you to Marbella Old town for 1 Euro 80. There's a hotel bus that takes you to a beach every half hour. There's a supermarket just around the corner. You can walk to Puerto Banus along the beach or a good path from Marbella centre (4 mile walk)

  Watch the food

  Very nice hotel, lovely clean there is still cleaners working at midnight. The staff are friendly, The entertainment team the best I’ve seen, they put on a show in the evening and games during but tend to favour the Spanish and French but do speak 4 languages. The hotel is badly let down by the food, poor choice but always able to get something to eat. Food wasn’t always the hottest and the when trays ran out there didn’t seem to be a hurry to replace them, has been better the last few days but the hotel is bit quieter. The location is about 10km from the centre of Marbella, €16-20 for an Uber or €1.83 by bus, the stop is 200yards from hotel. Hopefully you get a better view from your balcony than we got, we looked out onto waste ground and could see the back of the shops. I would have reviewed 5# if the food had been better.

  Disappointing

  The food is very poor and basic, not much choice and I eat everything and I’m not fussy, peas for breakfast?? Same good every day. Nothing for children except pizza which was not really available. Entertainment was in Spanish and French so playing bingo was difficult, there was not enough bar staff so the queue was very long. Nice clean rooms, no way is this a 4 star by far more a 3.

  Generally good. Some improvements could be made

  Generally good but some things could be improved. Bathroom was surface clean but when you looked closer it needed a deep clean. Food is satisfactory but could be better. This hotel is a good 3 star rather than a 4 star. We had a car so we could access lots of places but wouldn’t stay here without a car. Some of the reviews had me worried but the hotel is nowhere as bad as some reviews state. A comment about price of taxis was amusing. Didn’t this person research where it was situated before booking
