Everything was good, except for the food options. I have allergies to some foods and I think the chefs could have made more of an effort to accommodate my needs. I was eating the same meals over and over. The chefs should have used alternative ingredients to cater for me but they didnt.

Lovely hotel

The hotel was immaculate throughout. The room was very comfortable. I needed an iron and ironing board and it was delivered to the room within minutes All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful Facilities were good. Lovely balcony with sea view. Just a short drive from the busier part but we really liked this hotel and would stay there again.

I am a senior and found the lack of a rubber shower mat problematic. I had to step into a bathtub with no grab bars and although I didn’t slip, I was concerned I might rubber bath mats are not expensive and I would recommend they be obtained. We did ask for one but were told to use towels.

Good value

My expectations were pretty low as it is a Costa del Sol front line hotel! We visited in March at the start of an Andalucian tour. But it is actually pretty good for the money!
