Room- Room and view was spectacular. Comfortable and spacious, loved the balcony to watch the sunset. Breakfast- there was so much option you couldn't fault it. The breakfast options had literally everything you could ever want freshly made omelets, pancakes and a huge breakfast bar, delicious. You could even make yourself a mimosa if you wanted. Fabian the barman made the best Pina colada's we ever had. Staff- The staff were incredible, we had great chats with them everyday and were super helpful anytime we had a question. A big shoutout to Alva, Laura, Victor, Gonzalo and the barman Fabian. Location- Location was excellent, right at the promenade and a short walk to the town center. We will be back!

Nothing, it was great!

The quality and variety of the buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner was impressive. Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful, quiet area. Free parking right outside the hotel. Our room was on the 9th floor with great views, and we enjoyed our big balcony with sunbeds.

The pool area was small and crowded. It was allowed to reserve sun beds with your towel, which we didn't like. Some people did this for hours while they were having lunch, going for a walk etc. The 10th floor bar opened on our last night, and we were very happy about it having been closed all the other nights, because we could hear the music in our room and people talking in the hallway until 2 am.

where to even begin, the staff were absolutely phenomenal, super friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. im so happy i opted for the half board because the dinner was superb with the best paella i had in Spain so far and great variety of food, i usually have limited options because i dont eat pork or eggs, but with their variety of food that was no problem at all. i loved the option of swimming in the pool and beach because the water at the beach was freezing. there is also a wellness spa at the 10th floor that had good massages for great prices as well as a souvenir shop next to the hotel that was very reasonable priced compared to the rest called lidia . overall, i will 100% be coming back and including dinner

i wish breakfast time was until 11 instead of 10 to give me more time to sleep

The staff and it's a very nice hotel and for a 3 star it's really superb.

Night time music entertainment a bit disappointing.

Incredibly bright and clean room, with a fabulous balcony and sea view. Bottle of cava and plate of macarons welcome very nice touch. Great shower and very comfortable bed. Super friendly and helpful staff.

For the price I think breakfast should have been included, or offered at a bigger discount. €15 each was far too much. At €7-10 we would have thought about it. Also, the elevators require replacement. Finally, in a room our size, for two people, a second armchair would have been nice.

Very clean, nice rooms, good food, very polite personnel, parking available on site, pools. Beach on the opposite side of the road (not the best of the coast but it has nothing to do with the hotel). Supermarket and bars in the immediate neighborhood. 10-15' Walking distance from the center of Almuñecar.

Everything was fine. Maybe not really sound proof but most guests are very quiet. Something to hang dry clothes and towels on the balcony would be appreciated.

We loved our stay! We had a beautiful room with an amazing view. All the staff were extremely friendly and very happy to help out in any way possible. We reserved with half-board and the food was excellent. A special thank you to Alba (hostess) and Juan (cook) who went our of there way to make us happy. Almunecar is very quiet and not crowded which was perfect for us as we wanted to rest and relax. I highly definitely recommend this hotel.

The music/entertainment in the bar catered to the elderly. In fact, we were surprised at the number of elderly people at the hotel. This isn't really a negative point because everyone was kind and respectful (we were just surprised!). It has an effect on the hotel atmosphere in general.

Gorgeous hotel. The views from my room were stunning. The hotel cleaners did a perfect job every single day and were so friendly. In fact every staff member I came into contact with was kind, friendly, helpful and just utterly delightful. I booked with breakfast included but upgraded to dinner too on arrival as it looked lovely and it was. A great selection every day and very varied. The lunch bar menu was delicious! The whole vibe was just really chilled and was exactly what I needed on my first solo travel.

We booked a superior room, it was very spacious, beautiful decor, the bed was very comfortable, only downside the bathroom was a little on the small side. The staff were so friendly, and eager to please. The food was excellent, good choices available. Entertainment and bar areas comfortable and spacious. The Hotel is on the sea front in a perfect position, in a quiet area, just a few minutes walk from the beautiful quaint old town. Visiting the Castle and the Church is a definite recommendation. This Hotel is a wonderful Hotel for older couples, who would like a quiet relaxing holiday, the outdoor facilities are not suitable for young children, they are not catered for.

The seating in the dining room was a little tight many tables we reserved for a tourist company and not fully occupied. The evening meal time, we thought could be planned a little earlier, 7.45pm is too late.

The hotel is located on the sea front and is only a 15 minute walk to the old town. There are restaurants and bars close by. We were able to park right outside the hotel in free public parking. The receptionist, Gabriella, made us feel very welcome and gave us excellent service. Our room was very clean and very comfortable. There was a lot of choice at breakfast with hot and cold food as well as an omelette/pancake station. The view from the rooftop bar was amazing. The pool area looked very nice and sheltered. We will definitely stay here again.

A kettle in our room for making tea/coffee first thing in the morning would be good. We didn’t watch tv but it was rather small .
