The Apartment style units have everything that you need for a small family to comfortably spend a holiday. Location is also very good. Property is clean. Only issue to deal is Parking however that is manageable.

Great place with the pool and the beach plus a good restaurant next door apartment was very spacious
a bit further from Marbella town than I thought but a managed getting an Uber
A few more sun beds around the pool may help
But overall enjoy it
2 bedroom apartment, while a bit dated, still lovely and spacious, comfortable beds, plenty of wardrobe and storage space, powerful showers, kitchen well equipped! Apartment had everything you could want. Car recommended for travelling around. Economical and well worth it, highly recommend!
The establishment was excellent. A few remarks. Most of the rooms have no view to the see. The parking space is very limited inside the premise of the hotel therefore most of the times I had to park outside of the hotel where you could find very easily a parking space hence the free parking feature is useless. Last, they are using keys for opening external doors after hours which can be an issue in case you forget to take them with you.

Appliances and kitchen were well supplied. The bed and sofa need to be replaced. Very uncomfortable. No staff between 6pm and 9am. Lots of people going in and out making noise at night. Doors were left open at times. Staff was aloof.
NO APTO PARA PERSONAS CON BEBÉ O MOVILIDAD REDUCIDA.
Sin duda ha sido la peor experiencia que he tenido en mi vida.
Establecimientos como este no deberían ni siquiera existir, además que la persona supuestamente responsable, no le importa nada la comodidad y satisfacción de sus clientes.
Es una vergüenza.
El ascensor lo cierran junto con la recepción y estás prácticamente en la calle hasta las 09h00 del día siguiente si pasa un problema. No dan indicaciones y cuando al final están, dicen que todo está enviado por mail. Cuando no informan de nada.
Muy muy mala experiencia.
Deberían quitarlo de Hotels.com

Le ventilo et la Clim ne marchaient pas très bien. En plein été ce n’est pas évident
Dans la cuisine, les plaques ne chauffaient pas assez. J’ai mis 10 minutes à cuire mon œuf
Sinon bien dans l’ensemble

Zicht over de weg
De lift werkte NIET na 18.00
Je moet de trap nemen en dan zie je midden in de nacht een rat over de gang lopen.
De dag dat je moet uitchecken moet je zelf de vuilniszak meenemen.

Stor og fin leilighet. 2 soverom og 2 bad. Bra renhold.
We stayed for 5 nights, they cleaned our room one time during our stay.
The bed was very hard and small, we couldn’t get an extra bed for the 3year old kid. The bed sofa was to small and hard to sleep in.
It’s not included breakfast, but we bought for our stay. Just croassiant, eggs and coffee, no fruit or fresh juice.
It’s connected to RCI/azure so they were a lots of “salesmen on the hotel trying to sell apartments.
Nice stuff and service, but the hotell is really 40 years old and you can tell..

PRO
Piscina, vicinanza al mare
CONTRO
Struttura datata.
Parcheggio praticamente inesistente. Se si pernotta in alta stagione diventa difficilissimo parcheggiare.
