The hotel offers spacious rooms with excellent sea views, ideal for families, although they could benefit from a refurbishment. The wall-unit air conditioning helped to make the room more tolerable as it was initially too hot. The service was prompt and accommodating, especially in resolving issues quickly. The location is central and perfect for easy access to Malaga, with a lovely beach area that is not crowded due to the lack of surrounding hotels. The dining experience provided a good selection, although some items tended to be cold. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly and helpful staff.

The hotel is conveniently located on the west side of Malaga, right on Guadalmar beach, offering a quiet retreat by the sea. The rooms provide a lovely upgrade with sea views from the balcony, although the bathroom stands out as the only area needing improvement. The service is a mix, with some super welcoming staff but also encounters with rude personnel. Dining options vary from impressive fruit assortments to basic and sometimes disappointing dishes.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were a bit shabby for a supposed star hotel, especially at the beginning of the season, with a disappointing view over the car park. On the bright side, the service was quite friendly despite some language barriers. The location was peaceful and close to the airport, but not very convenient for a quick beach trip. Dining was hit or miss, with cold dishes and limited variety. Overall, it was an average experience with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were a bit outdated and there was an incident at 2 am where someone was mistakenly given a card to my room, which was concerning. On the bright side, the sea views from the room were lovely. The service was a bit hit or miss as the staff were generally pleasant but didn't address all my concerns. The location was great, especially for easy access to the airport. The dining options were fantastic with a wide variety of choices but some dishes needed improvement.

Waking up in the night in pain was a downside, but the lovely, cozy, and comfy beds and pillows made up for it. However, the standard room lacked a kettle. The service was quick and efficient in fixing issues, but at times, the staff seemed uninterested. The location was excellent, close to amenities and a short ride from the airport. The dining options were good, but with limited choices for dinner. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained.

The hotel has a convenient location just 3 minutes from Malaga airport and right on the beach with lovely pool and gardens. The rooms were not silent due to a connecting door to a neighboring apartment, which can be a downside for noise-sensitive guests. The service, although swift at producing bills, seemed uninterested and not very helpful with complaints. The dining experience offered a good variety of freshly cut fruit, juices, and pastries but was not exceptional. The hotel's facilities are basic yet functional.

The hotel is conveniently located, not too far from the airport, making it easy to catch a bus into Malaga. The rooms were cleaned every day with fresh towels, but they could be more soundproof and lacked modern amenities. The service was fantastic with staff being extremely helpful, though they could have been a bit friendlier. The location is handy, especially for beachgoers, and the facilities offer car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and tours/ticket assistance. The dining experience could have been better value for the money, with some delays in topping up dishes after large groups.
