Not much happening in the area, but it’s perfect for a calm, peaceful, and quiet getaway for a couple of days. Fantastic rooftop bar, and the beach outside isn’t exactly 'private', but it’s not busy either, so it was still enjoyable. I would have preferred if sunbeds and umbrellas were offered for free, since we paid a lady for some.

El hotel estaba en frente de la playa, pero es muy pequeña y estaba llena de algas. El hotel estaba muy bien, para disfrutar dentro de él y no de la playa. Bonito, elegante y con muchas actividades. Cada día variado en gastronomía. Igualmente al tener coche se puede uno manejar por la zona y conocer lugares como Torremolinos o Fuengirola que están cerca.

Paid on site parking. Very busy tourist hotel. Totally understaffed in the main bar and the bar by the adult swimming pool on beach front. Check in slow and check out even slower as we needed a Factura which was a major challenge. Receptionist at check in and checl out was the same and she did not fully understand the system. Alas. We booked 3 rooms for 1 night.
