Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms with large balconies and sea views, but there were ant issues and a premium charge for an extra bed. The service was friendly overall but some language barriers were encountered. The dining options lacked Spanish cuisine and were expensive. The facilities were decent but not luxurious.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although with a huge bathroom and balcony, were not as impressive as shown in the photos after a few visits. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff friendly but others arrogant and unhelpful. The location, on a remote rocky outcropping in Almunecar, was peaceful but had its limitations. The dining options were subpar, mainly in the buffet restaurant. However, the facilities were decent overall.
