“Simply The Best on the Coast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011
9
people found this review helpful

This is a hidden diamond tucked away on the beach in Torrenueva. It is a family run hotel by John and Glenn, father in law and son in law. They have an excellent array of staff on hand to serve your every need. The resaurant and evening entertainment have got to be experienced at least once as it is the best on the coast by far. It is a 15 minute stroll into La Cala a lovely little Spanish town with lots of bars and restaurants. There are 2 beach bars that sit only a 5 minute walk away, both are also recommended and are easily accessable. They have a strict no under 14s rule which makes for peaceful sunbathing and swimming. The infinity pool is breathtaking with a swim up bar which has a vast vast choice odf your favourite cocktails and the staff will make you any of your choice also. The groundfloor sea view minisuites are the best rooms by far with a balcony that leads on to the pool deck. There is not enough room on this review to describe this hidden gem, just try it for yourself and you are sure to return as my wife and I did 8 times now. The sunday lunch and entertainment afterwards must not be missed also. Sound too good to be true well try it and see for yourself.

Room Tip: Mini suites with a sea view are a must.

“Another perfect stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

people found this review helpful

This is the 3rd time that we have stayed at El Oceano. This particular visit was a very special one as It was to decide whether or not we were going to use it as a venue for our wedding. Yet again we were blown away with the service, the fantastic food and the friendly staff. We haven't visited for 2 years and we were pleased to see the same members of staff working there, which obviously says something.
This was our first stay in one of the studio apartments and we were really impressed! There was no noise from the road at all and we can't understand how anyone could complain about it.
We have subsequently booked our wedding for September 2012 and we are really looking forward to a short stay in between whilst we go over to finalise everything!

Room Tip: Sea view on first floor - room 19

“fab meals”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

If you want to have a special sunday lunch this is the place, try to book out on the terr.( In the summer months) it it quite hard to get a table outside. the inside is great try to book a table ocean side as the view is fab. the price for food is ok but you can get carried away with the wine price's.....they have live music , the staff are good......its some where you can still get "dressed" up for dinar.......

“Holiday of Life Time!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Though we are frequent visitors to Malaga, but this was our first holiday in this Hotel. It turned out to be experience of life time. Staff was professional, and we found the ambient plus the entertainment in the hotel was second to none. Every hotel activity was being carried out to the very best under the watchful eye of the Owner. We found Management of the hotel very commendable.

We will recommend this Hotel to every one to share the experience of Life Time.

Room Tip: Corner Suites.

“Great hide away beach escape”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We had an excellent time at this property - lovely setting for breakfast with the surf right below the open windows and the sun - wonderful sunshine here. Staff was very helpful and we felt very comfortable there. The way off the motorway is easy to miss so keep an extra eye or two open for the turn off else you'll be doing a few extra turns until you learn the way in.
