8.3 James Travelled with family July 2026
Very friendly and accommodating staff, food quality and choice was better than expected (dinner was especially good), the location is excellent.
The hotel is a bit dated and could benefit from some updates, the rooms are adequate but more 3* rather than 4* standard, room ventilation was poor.

8.3 Steve G. Travelled with couple June 2025
Great location. Fairly spacious room. Friendly staff. Nice decor. Plenty of sunbeds and nice pool areas. Good value for money.
Cooked food quality not great. Mostly overcooked. Rooftop pool was too shallow to swim in.

We would come again only stayed one night this trip.
I think you should include parking or charge a more reasonable price. Euro 10 would be enough

10 Jose Antonio Travelled with couple August 2026 The girl from Córdoba at reception was very kind — she offered us a room to shower in after we checked out at 12 and we were able to enjoy the pool all day. It was wonderful.
Muy amable la chica de Cordoba en la recesión nos ofreció ducharnos en una habitación después de dejar el hotel a las 12 del dia y todo el dia disfrutar de la piscina una maravilla.

10 Maria Cruz Illescas Travelled with family August 2026 As always, the staff—both at reception and the team of waiters and entertainers—were exceptional. Thanks José, Oscar, Misha, Laura and the big-hearted dancer who can’t bear to see a lady dancing alone.
Como siempre, el personal, tanto en recepción como el equipo de camareros y animación, excepcionales, gracias José, Oscar, Misha, Laura el bailarín de gran corazón que no puede ver a una señora bailar sola 😉
Well, this time, of all the occasions I've stayed here they gave me one of the few rooms that still hasn't had the bathroom renovated, and it had a very high bathtub that was difficult to access for someone my age… otherwise everything was fantastic.
Pues la verdad es que en esta ocasión de todas las que me he alojado me dieron una habitación de las pocas que tienen que quedar sin reformar el baño, y tenía una bañera muy alta de difícil acceso para una persona ya mayorcita… por lo demás todo fantástico.

8.3 Patricia Travelled with family August 2026 I stayed five days with my daughter and found the hotel excellent. The location is perfect and you can get around without a car; the beach is very close. The breakfast buffet was very tasty and the evening meals aren’t hugely varied but are fine for a week.
He estado 5 días con mi hija y me ha parecido un hotel estupendo, la ubicación perfecta y puedes moverte sin necesidad de coche, la playa está cerquísima, el bufet del desayuno muy rico y las cenas no son super variadas pero para un semana están estupendos.
In my case I would perhaps improve the bathrooms in the rooms.
En mi caso mejoraría quizá los baños de las habitaciones

9.1 Francisco Travelled with couple August 2026 We stayed for a week in the last week of August and it was wonderful in every way — the superb location next to Puerto Marina, the excellent food, the great pools, the peace and quiet, the lovely evening atmosphere both outside and inside, and for sport lovers like us a fantastic gym. Everything was excellent and we will definitely come back.
Hemos estado una semana última de agosto y ha sido maravillosa en todos lo sentidos, por la magnifica ubicación junto a Puerto Marína, por la excelente comida, piscinas magnificas, tranquilidad, muy buen ambiente por las noches en el exterior e interior y para los amantes del deporte como nosotros un magnifico gimnasio. Todo excelente y volveremos a repetir.

7.7 Jose Luis Travelled with family August 2026 I would especially highlight the games area, with options such as billiards and table tennis, which is very pleasant for enjoying some leisure time during the stay. Without a doubt, one of the hotel’s greatest strengths is its location, which I found unbeatable and makes it very easy to enjoy the surroundings. As for the buffet, I think it is quite good for a hotel. The food is of fairly good quality and, overall, the selection seemed satisfactory. I also want to give a special mention to the restaurant staff. The waitress with glasses, I think her name was Laura, and the two young men, one with short blond hair and the other with a ponytail, were brilliant. Their service, friendliness and attitude make a difference and it is hugely appreciated to find people like that when you are enjoying your holiday.
Me gustaría destacar especialmente la zona de juegos, con opciones como billar y ping-pong, que resulta muy agradable para disfrutar de algunos momentos de ocio durante la estancia. Sin duda, uno de los mayores puntos fuertes del hotel es su ubicación, que me pareció inmejorable y facilita muchísimo poder disfrutar del entorno. En cuanto al buffet, considero que está bastante bien para tratarse de un hotel. La comida tiene una calidad bastante buena y, en general, la oferta me pareció satisfactoria. También quiero hacer una mención especial al personal del restaurante. La camarera de gafas, Laura creo recordar, y los dos chicos, uno con el pelo rubio y corto y otro con coleta, fueron geniales. Su trato, simpatía y actitud marcan la diferencia y se agradece muchísimo encontrar personas así cuando estás disfrutando de tus vacaciones.
I found the entertainment programme quite basic. For roughly half of my stay there were hardly any shows or activities, and the entertainment was concentrated mainly in the last three days, often in rather short time slots. The pools could also be improved, both in some aspects of the facilities and in the overall experience. The towel lending service could be made more efficient as well, since at times it wasn’t as comfortable or quick as you would expect. Finally, I would particularly highlight the reception area as one of the main points for improvement. Overall, I think some of the staff in this area should work on customer service skills, especially interpersonal warmth, approachability and friendliness. A kinder, more willing attitude would noticeably improve the guest experience.
La parte de animación me pareció bastante básica. Durante aproximadamente la mitad de mi estancia apenas hubo shows o actividades, y la animación se concentró principalmente en los tres últimos días, además durante periodos de tiempo bastante cortos. Las piscinas también podrían mejorarse, tanto en algunos aspectos de las instalaciones como en la experiencia general. El servicio de préstamo de toallas también podría optimizarse, ya que en algunos momentos no resultó todo lo cómodo y ágil que cabría esperar. Por último, destacaría especialmente el área de recepción como uno de los principales puntos de mejora. En general, considero que parte del personal de esta zona debería trabajar más aspectos relacionados con el trato al cliente, especialmente el don de gentes, la cercanía y la simpatía. Una atención más amable y predispuesta contribuiría notablemente a mejorar la experiencia global del huésped.

Very good
9.7 Esmeralda Travelled with couple August 2026 Great location; limited variety of food but very good. I was pleasantly surprised by the room views — I thought I'd have a view of construction, but that wasn't the case. The views were beautiful, especially at night.
Ubicación genial,comida poca variedad pero muy buena,me lleve un sorpresa con las vistas de la habitación pensando que me tocaría las obras y no fue así, había unas vistas preciosas y sobre todo de noche
Car Park in the area is very difficult and the hotel car park is expensive; the prices at the pool bar are high.
Se aparca muy mal por la zona y el parkin del hotel es caro,los precios del bar de la piscina son elevados

9.7 Natalia Travelled with family August 2026 The service from the kitchen staff, waiters and hotel reception. Especially the waiter Miguel — thank you very, very much; always with a smile and a cheerfulness that he passes on to all the guests, making the stay happier and much more pleasant. A huge round of applause for the staff.
El servicio del personal de cocina, camareros y de atención del hotel. En especial el camarero Miguel, muchas muchas gracias, siempre con una sonrisa y una alegría que transmite a todos los huéspedes hace más feliz la estancia y mucho más agradable. Un aplauso enorme al personal.
The cleaning service didn’t sweep during our stay, which I understand — there are many guests and a lot to cover, and the poor staff can’t do more. But there should be an option for us to sweep or be offered a way to tidy our own area, or some other viable alternative.
El servicio de limpieza en barrer por ejemplo en el transcurso de la estancia, entiendo que son muchos huéspedes y hay mucho que abarcar… y no pueden llegar a más los pobres. Pero, alguna opción para barrer nosotros o pasar para tener nuestra zona más recogida, o alguna otra alternativa viable.

4.9 Ana Travelled with couple August 2026 The best thing about the hotel is the very friendly staff and the location right on Puerto Marina and next to the beach.
Lo mejor del hotel es personal muy agradable y la ubicación justo en puerto marina y al lado de la playa
I don’t think it’s a 4-star hotel; it would be more like a 3-star and a bit below. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll return. The room was very good, but the bathroom urgently needs refurbishing — it has a bath and is awkward to get into. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. On the first day they only made the bed and didn’t change the towels. On the other days they didn’t clean the bathroom; we mentioned it at reception because of hygiene, but nothing was done. The food was very average and weak, not what you’d expect from a 4-star hotel — a disappointment. Many times there was nothing available because there was only one person to restock. The cloths they used to clean the tables smelled awful; they didn’t rinse them and they smelled like feet. The pool is very small and needs cleaning even though the water was clear. The other pool is very nice but the water only reaches waist height or less. A bit of a disappointment. The best thing was the staff, without a doubt.
Creo que no es un hotel de 4 estrellas, sería como un 3 estrellas y un poco justo,.la verdad que no creo que vuelva. La habitación muy bien, el baño necesita una reforma urgente, es bañera y complicado para entrar. La limpieza deja mucho que desear. El primer día solo la cama y no cambiaron las toallas. El resto de días el baño no lo hacían, lo comentamos en recepción ya que quemenos por higiene pero nada. La comida muy regular y floja, no de un hotel de 4 estrellas una decepción. Muchas veces no había nada, porque solo habia una persona para reponer. La balletas con la que limpiaban las mesas olía muy mal, no la aclaraban y olía a pies. La piscina es muy pequeña y falta que la limpien aunque el agua estaba limpia. La otra piscina es muy chula pero el agua solo llega por la cintura o menos. Un poco decepción. Lo mejor el personal sin dudarlo

8.6 Irene Travelled with couple August 2026 We would highlight the hotel's positive aspects as its location (just a 2-minute walk from Santa Ana beach and 10 minutes from Carihuela). The buffet was also good, with plenty of food options and good quality. We also want to mention the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms.
Destacamos como aspectos positivos del hotel la ubicación (a 2 minutos andando de la playa de Santa Ana y a 10 minutos de la Carihuela). También el buffet, había bastantes opciones de comidas y de buena calidad, así como destacar la limpieza y comodidad de las habitaciones.
It would be helpful if the restaurant staff improved their customer service and attention. Some of the waiters do not show a good attitude or act professionally in their manner and service. Another aspect that could be improved would be offering the option to choose between lunch or dinner with Half Board
Sería conveniente que el personal del restaurante mejorase su atención y servicio al cliente. Algunos camareros no muestran buena actitud y profesionalidad en el trato y servicio. Otro aspecto a mejorar podría ser que diesen opción a elegir comida o cena con la media pensión.
