the lift gives direct access to the beach, and i thought it was very handy. staff are polite and helpful at all times. the food was good, and i found there was a good variety.
my room was right near the road, and it was unbearably noisy, i had to sleep with the door closed. water cost 3 euros a bottle, and i suspects it is tap water. i also felt, the area around the pool has bird poo droppings that weren't cleaned .

Solid Choice for Adults

direct lift ample food friendly staff easy access
The hotel has a direct lift to the promenade, convenient. Food options are ample. Even picky eaters can find something. The staff were friendly and helpful all the time. Bus stops nearby provide easy access to Malaga and other places.
The air conditioning wasn't working . They said it was because of the room's south-facing orientation. This was a problem, especially on the last day when there was no sun.
