Lovely hotel right across from the Marina.
Free upgrade on arrival to front view balcony on 10th floor which had amazing views. Very comfortable bed and clean spacious room.
Two lovely pools and plenty of sun beds to choose from. Dates end of May to 4 June not sure how busy it would be in high season. Weather was also very hot. Would stay again.

Disappointing stay. We booked this hotel for a much-needed couples trip and unfortunately came away frustrated on two counts.
First, our room was directly next to the bar. The noise carried straight through the walls and kept us awake until around 1am — not what you want when you’ve travelled for a quiet break. There was no warning at check-in that we’d been put in this room, and no offer to move us when we mentioned it.
Second, the air conditioning in the room didn’t work. On the Costa del Sol that’s not a minor issue — it made the room genuinely uncomfortable, especially trying to sleep.
For the price, we expected better. Two basic things — a quiet room and working AC — and neither was delivered. Would not stay again and wouldn’t recommend to anyone hoping for a relaxing break.

The hot food in the restaurant was never hot enough though there is a microwave oven. The restaurant staff worked very hard clearing and re-setting tables quickly.
The cafe snacks were OK. The coffee was nice and tasty - not bitter.
Bar / lounge area pleasant.
The walls of the large shower had pink mould in the grouting.
The double room we had was large with a separate lounge area with settee, table and a large window.
We overlooked a new hotel being built but it was not noisy.

We had an excellent first stay this week for my wife’s birthday, and we came away absolutely impressed with the whole experience.
Location overlooking the marina is amazing.
The food is really good, well presented, a broad selection of buffet self serve, and the restaurant staff are first class !
Reception staff were also really friendly.
Will definitely come again.
