“Beautiful setting and facilities. Practise your French!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

person found this review helpful

A friend and I spent just five days for a peaceful Easter break here and found it to be absolutely beautiful. It has a small Andalusian village feel about it's two story winding pathway "hotel". The all inclusive food was impressive and varied, (check out the speciality dish each evening). The pool was large (too cold) and had good child facilities at one end and a great bar/ entertainment area at the other.
Reception staff were very helpful and friendly although English was not their strength.
There were lots of French tourists and French reps everywhere and I spent more time speaking French than Spanish!, but this only really affected us adversely for the evening entertainment.
The pool was too close to the main road ( I believe they are landscaping to fix this now) and on our last night there was a serious fire in the bar. Check to see if this has been fixed.

“AVOID IF NOT FRENCH!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

Have just returned from this hotel after staying here for 10 days. Me & my partner are both 22. Very few English at this hotel..! All entertainment is in French (and awful!!!) and they do not speak a word of English and will not even attempt to talk to you unless you speak French! very very VERY rude! One Spanish lady (Carmen) was very helpful and made us feel welcome. All hotel and restaurant staff very friendly & polite. Maid service was very good & hotel very clean & tidy. No inflatables allowed in the pool..?!! Would not recommend this hotel to anyone who is English as you will be ignored for your whole stay here.. unless you speak french!

“Was okay but probably won't go back again.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2011

I came here with family; we hadn’t been on a family holiday for a few years as the kids do their own thing now. We usually go to Benalmadena and Torremolinos way, if we head to Spain.

This was the first time the family went on an All Inclusive holiday. On arrival the car park was full and it took us a while to find a space, there was not many parking spaces and we drove around in the day so coming back meant we had to squeeze on to the curb.

The reception staffs were friendly and once our keys were handed over, we received a map of the courtyard. I must say it is a pretty place to look at and the courtyard was beautiful. Our flats were next to each other, above a steep stair case. It’s not too bad but if you are at an all inclusive and tend to make the most of the facilities, it isn't fun tackling those stairs to your room drunk, but hey – self inflicted.

The hotel was very French orientated which it did not mention anywhere, they were rude – even to staff – but we didn’t cross paths with them and kept ourselves to ourselves. We did meet a couple in their mid twenties who we got on with, from England too, we often met up by the pool or during the evenings – so there were some nice people there.

*All inclusive restaurant*
The layout of the restaurant was nice and also part of it was slightly set out in some gardens. The food was alright for a buffet but we're not fussy eaters, we get fed! They also had a ‘snack period’ during the day, hot dogs and small random stuff. You could also eat in the sister hotel next door – but it was like a busy school canteen – although they did have more variety of food, but it was bigger.

*Facilities*
There was quite a few facilities, the swimming pool was big and well kept with plenty of sun beds but we went just before the busy period. Next to it was the bar with plenty of tables under shelter (big gazebo I think). The bar served drinks in small plastic cups, so you couldn’t get a pint; although they did serve San Miguel so that wasn’t too bad. The bar also had two table tennis tables and you could hire the ball and bat from reception for a deposit. We always got our deposit back because we returned everything back to them in good condition. Behind the pool was also a squash court, although I do not know what it was like as only my brother and father went. There was also mini shops in the complex where you can buy bits and pieces, munchies etc.

*Entertainment*
The entertainment in the hotel was terrible, it was again very French orientated and the majority of it was aimed at children. Hence why we ended up playing drinking games and getting drunk (bearing in mind some of my family are not big drinkers!) Which is why the steep stairs was not a bonus but that’s our own fault. Although it was quite entertaining seeing my little brother falling up them (as it was his first time drinking).

*Surroundings*
The beach was nearby but quite a bit of a walk as the back streets of the hotel were quite maze like – however we drove there. The beach wasn’t that amazing as it was very stony as oppose to sand. There isn’t really much to do outside of the hotel, there is a nearby supermarket. But we often drove out of the area to do stuff.

“Peace and quiet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011

I went here with my boyfriend in September, we are 19 and 22 and were the youngest at the hotel...by FAR! It was about 95% french, even the entertainment staff were french and do their best to ignore all english. The hotel staff were spanish and very polite so was easy to get served at the bar. Everyday, all of the French went off on day trips so we had the pool, which is huge, to ourselves in the day. It was always quiet in the day so was easy to relax and get on with what we wanted to do. The food wasn't too bad although very french based, apart from one day where they made spanish food which was AMAZING! That same night they had also got in some flamenco dancers for the nightime entertainment which was great.
The main problem was that the street is too thin for the airport transfer bus to get down so we had to walk the last 200m to the hotel without much direction which was slightly annoying. Also, we expected a double bed, but got two singles.
The French were all very arrogant and rude, especially at meal times, but we just ignored them and kept to ourselves and had a great time. Being so much younger than everyone else there also meant we got stared at a lot when walking around, but we soon got used to this.
There was a fairly wide range of day trips to go on, although we decided to save our money and stay in the hotel. There's a great Irish bar around the corner where we spent all of our evenings after the hotel bar closed (we were all inclusive so drinks at the hotel were free), and a great pizza place on the corner (eat in or take away) if you fancy something else to eat one night.
