    Beautiful, amazingly tasteful fruits at breakfast, wonderful massage; still, I found it quite expansive compared to similar offers.

    The hotel itself feels a little dated and, in my view, doesn’t fully correspond to the price of the rooms

    The hotel has a great pool and a VIP area with large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden — very pleasant!

    We had a Premium Double Room with Frontal Sea View, it was a bit smaller than what I had expected, but still very nice with a breathtaking view. We enjoyed the promotion they have with Audi (free electric car for the day) though the process of reservation via the app did not work (was quickly resolved by a staff memeber) and the car was not washed, but still it allowed us to visit beautiful Mijas nearby. Overall, no complains, would love to return!

    We loved our stay in this hotel! Beautiful setting, comfortable amenities, great staff, nice room and little treats almost daily, including for our little daughter, were much appreciated

    The staff were extremely helpful and attentive, I was especially impressed with the evening turn down service and the little gift of chocolate or sweets left each evening. We received a lovely welcome by the reception staff and were offered a glass of prosecco on arrival. We were also granted a later check out time to accommodate our evening flight. The choice at breakfast was exceptional and the service was superb. We enjoyed all the facilities that the hotel had to offer and made good use of the indoor pool and gym. The hotel's location was idyllic and our room had stunning views over the hotel gardens and out to sea.

    Beds could have been better. They really need to install blackout curtains into all the rooms & improve beds comfort. They could also add muesli/granola to their breakfast & also smoked salmon or similar for non-meat eaters.

    Great location on the beach 20 mins walk to Puerto Romano and 20 mins to Marbella old town

    Breakfast was very good.. Good choice of fruit, eggs, toast, croissants, cereals. Would have been nice to have some yoghurts apart from natural flavour. Room was lovely. The most comfortable hotel bed ever. Location of hotel is excellent with nice beaches within one minute from the promenade exit. The grand cafe ‘Cappucino’ at the promenade exit is a great spot for morning coffee or people watching and has an all day menu. Also ERRE restaurant in hotel is a lovely dining experience. Very good gym

    Disappointed not to have been informed in advance about which rooms were included in the ‘Loyalty Club’ requirement for access to the first floor.

    Location - perfect close to the beach and promenade. Nice restaurant and lower cafe on the promenade.

    A lovely stay in very comfortable and beautiful surroundings - and the sunshine helped!

    We aren't great fans of background music, which plays in the reception area and bar. The light system in the bedroom, as so often in hotels, was somewhat confusing but this was a minor issue. The bathroom was small in comparison with the size of the room, but the showers were good, both hand-held and overhead.

    The seafront location is beautiful, with lovely gardens, all of which we enjoyed from our balcony. We took taxis into town, although one could walk there along the seafront which offers plenty of restaurants and cafés. To the left of the hotel as you approach there's a walkable slope down to a stunning garden and brook which descend to the seafront at a lower level. The sea front is accessed down a set of steps; they are lit at night, with a cafe immediately at the foot of the steps. The hotel is luxurious, and there's a good bar/cafe with plenty of seating areas. The staff are very personable and helpful. We loved the indoor pool, which is invitingly warm, and has a jacuzzi. The room was large, with a comfortable sofa, safe, mini-fridge, and some cabled UK channels as well as the usual news channels. Bottled water was provided every day. We liked the bathroom products, and the bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of hanging and drawer space. Breakfast was terrific, everything one could ask for, cooked or fresh. I especially appreciated the wholemeal croissants! It's a good location for visits to San Pedro, Fuengirola, Ronda, Estepona, all of which we enjoyed, and there are plenty of excellent restaurants to be found in Marbella, especially in the old town and on Avenida de Miguel Cano which leads down to the sea front. As one would expect, the restaus along the beach front are more expensive.
