    Full breakfast was cold, we advised staff and were given complimentary coffees, staff very helpful and took on feedback. Service in bar area very slow, day and night

    Loved evening meal, comfort of room and bed, pool area, location, extra complimentary cava in room

    Gorgeous hotel and spacious comfortable room. Wonderful views from the balcony. We had a complimentary bottle of cava in an ice bucket on our arrival which was very nice and unexpected. Thank you.

    We had only booked one night and wished we had booked more!

    Fantastic location yards from the sea front. The room had a balcony overlooking the sea front. Very modern hotel which was very clean. We did not expect a bottle of prosecco cava and macaroons waiting for us in the room with a welcome note from the manager. We had evening meal and breakfast at the hotel and both were excellent with a comprehensive range of options.

    The airconditioner made a lot of noise. The floor of our showertub was really slippery.

    We had a room with sea view. It was beautiful. The staff is so very friendly and helpfull. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was delicious. The choice of food is amazing. The breakfast room is so large that there is always enough space for the guests. The rooms are cleaned very well every day. In the bar you can get some nice cocktails with a beautiful seaside view. I think this hotel deserves more than 3 stars.

    Nothing was wrong.

    We liked everything. Thanks to the kindness and happiness of Tatiana, who left a lovely surprise, (Champagne and macarons in the room with a welcome note), and also thanks to Raul, Gabriela and Gonzalo at the reception desk who provided us with information to get the most out of our experience in Almuñecar. The staff at the restaurant was marvellous and friendly as well as the staff in the bar as well as the cleaning ladies who were quite supportive. Thanks to them all that made possible we enjoyed our stay in the Hotel and Almuñecar. The room, the views and the bed were those we asked for. Thank you, it was a wonderful experience.

    the room was very poorly sound proofed and it was quite uncomfotable hearing neighbouring rooms as if they were in the same room!

    Lovely spot overlooking the beach and a short walk into the centre of Almunecar. Very comfortable in all respects except one - see below. Lovely balcony and huge comfortable bed overlooking the sea. Good safe parking for the m/c and a lovely series of pools and lounger areas that were very welcoming and even for so early in the season fully up and running and warm

    Slight smell of drains on and off but this was prevalent throughout the resort. Probably due to the previous heavy rain

    Spotlessly clean and modern

    A little detail: the shower gel dispensers do not work well.

    The room - and indeed the hotel - was spotless and comfortable. The balcony with side-view of the sea was very welcome. Excellent choice at breakfast including cava. Warm plates available in the restaurant - a big plus! A heated outdoor pool. All staff super friendly, courteous and helpful - without exception.

    It's an exceptionally good hotel, fantastic value for money. Food really good and an excellent choice. All staff incredibly friendly, and I think her name was Alicia, the receptionist at the arrival desk, was absolutely brilliant, welcoming and helpful.

    Excellent hotel. The room was lovely with an amazing beach view. We were surprised with bubbles and macrooms in our room on arrival. Evening entertainment in hotel and quite a buzz about the place. Heated pool too. Overall an excellent stay. Wished i was staying longer.

    The location on the promenade; the friendly and helpful staff and hotel facilities. Alecia on reception and Elena in the dining room, were especially helpful.

    The buffet lacked Vegetarian and vegan options. Also no signs on the food saying what it contains.

    Very beautiful balcony and nice room. The buffet had a very good selection of food and tasted great. The hotel has a bike room with all needed tools and pumps where you can safely store your bike. Even a cleaning bay for the bikes. Staff were very friendly and helped us with everything we needed. Definitely would recommend!

    The seafront lounge was poorly ventilated and stuffy, especially in the mornings. I appreciate that the outside air is cool in winter but the doors or windows could have been opened at the start of the day to freshen the room.

    Staff pleasant and helpful, especially the kitchen staff when advising what dishes were suitable for someone with garlic intolerance. We also very much enjoyed the music in the evenings.

    Nothing everything was Perfect

    I Loved that a bottle of cava and chocolates with a note from the Hotel in our room because it was our wedding anniversary, l loved the staff interaction with the hotel customers, the staff were so friendly and helpful, l was impressed with the attention to spills and the topping up of dishes on the buffet, also of the prompt removal of used dishes from tables at meal times. Definitely one of my best hotel stays. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
