Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a side view overlooking apartments and a swimming pool, which can be noisy due to its proximity to the road. The service was fantastic, from knowledgeable staff to attentive waiters. While the location allows for long walks and has a great view, it can be noisy at times. The dining options were good but could be improved in terms of timing and variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service.
The hotel provided a mix of experiences. The rooms were a bit tired but overall clean and well-designed, offering a spacious layout and a large balcony with mountain views. The location was convenient for excursions to Nerja or Frigiliana by a quick taxi ride, although the hotel itself seemed a bit run down. The facilities were decent but could benefit from some refurbishment.
The hotel is in a great location just steps away from a lovely beach. The rooms, although lacking a handrail near the shower, are the right size for a good night's rest. The hot and stuffy atmosphere slightly affected the overall experience, even for the 3 euro per day rate. The friendly service compensates for the minor inconveniences.
