“Mostly an amazing hotel minor tweaks needed and poor check out experience hence the 4/5 rating”

Had a lovely week break here on a quiet girls trip. The hotel is beautiful and exceptional staff throughout. The bar and restaurant and pool teams work so hard to make sure everything goes smoothly. One buffet restaurant with a themed dinner every night so always something to eat. Snack bar serving fries burgers toasties from 3-6 Ice cream hut is divine with fresh cones and wafer bowls with ice creams / slushies / milkshakes all in your Al. Our coffee hit was met by the star cafe perfectly made hot and iced coffees. Spa beautiful a little expensive . The pool area is stunning and immaculate. Recommendations 1. please can have you non smoking spaces by the pool / star cafe and outdoor terraces to keep the space comfortable for all. The smell is intoxicating at times for non smokers.overall. I would recommend this hotel ( minus the choking cigarettes) 2. Please arrange to book the courtesy room rather than stand wait for it to be free 3. You are not allowed food after midday so if a late afternoon / evening flight stock up at breakfast . Not had this at an Iberostar before as you’ve always been welcome to eat and drink til you leave 4. On check out staff barely can be polite give eye contact or wish you well - disappointing Overall a great hotel but be mindful of above

“Wonderful hotel!”

The hotel was amazing and we had a great 4 nights. From the moment we arrived the lobby was stunning and check in was quick. We were given all inclusive bands which also have a fob for your room, so no carrying a card all week. The room had sea and pool view and a great balcony, which we watched the entertainment from some nights. The room was clean and large and faultless. The food was lovely, fresh and lots of choice in the main restaurant. There was also a coffee bar an ice cream stand and plenty of bars around the complex including a pool bar. The pool was large enough for a few lengths and had a nice relaxing vibe. Getting loungers was no issue and not having to go down early to get one. The hotel overlooks a stunning beach at the back and you can walk out the back gate and it is there. The gate is also fob protected so anyone cannot just walk in the hotel grounds. The sea waves were ace and there is a huge promenade filled with restaurants and bars and shops and you can walk right down to the stunning lighthouse. The staff were all very friendly and so helpful with anything we needed. One day they brought ice creams and lollies to everyone around the pool, which was a nice touch. This hotel was brilliant and the location is ace, it's easy to get a bus to Nerja which is 20 mins away and was also amazing.

“Great hotel and wonderful staff.”

We had a 1 bedroom apartment which is in a building separate from the hotel and therefore very peaceful. The apartment was spacious, very clean, a large modern bathroom with good quality toiletries. The kitchen is basic but a decent fridge for keeping drinks and light food options. There are water stations on every floor so you can refill your water bottle. Our terrace faced west and had sun all afternoon until sunset. The air con worked well and the bed was extremely comfortable. We took the half board option and the food choices were wonderful, lots of variety and platters replenished on a regular basis. My only suggestion would be an adults only area for people who wanted to have a quiet dinner without babies crying or toddlers running around, crying and unruly children aren't everyones cup of tea. The pool area is huge, lots of sunbeds but the usual problem of people putting towels on sunbeds but then disappearing for a long time and not using them. The pool is large and although lots of people swimming there was always space to swim. Perhaps a smoking area for smokers would be good, not everyone wants to breathe in tobacco or vape fumes. The staff are all lovely, very polite, friendly and welcolming and the housemaids do a wonderful job, the whole hotel is gleaming. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay and will definitely be back.
