Solid Choice for Adults

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.
