We stayed here for 3 nights on a road trip around Spain. Roads to the hotel/reception are narrow and crowded, and it was impossible to park in the hotel car park - my advice is to park on one of the nearby side roads and then walk back to the hotel reception to check in. Excellent, friendly and helpful check-in and staff. The self catering villa apartments are actually 5 minutes walk from the hotel reception and are within a walled complex. Parking for the apartments is on road outside the complex. The apartment was fabulous - everything working, clean, roomy. Bathrooms large and clean and everything working! Well equipped kitchen! Good wifi! Quality of sleep excellent, no noise. Points deducted for some of the furniture smelling musty, and for a minor ant infestation in the kitchen - we applied salt to the ant runs and that sorted it. There is a small but fabulous supermarket 5 minutes walk from the apartment, well priced and helpful, and we bought all our food and any cleaning goods from there, rooms, everything clean and working. Outdoor pool was excellent, clean, mostly suitable for younger children. Plenty of sunbeds. It is a 200m walk from the apartment to the beach, which is is lovely clean ands - however, points deducted for the large number rocks immediately beneath the sea, which made wading out to deeper water difficult and occasionally painful :( Once past them, the sea was clean and clear and you can see fish :) Several bars along the beach within walking distance. Outside Marbella city centre - you will need a car to drive in, but the local shop provides everything you can think of. I would recommend this hotel! PROS Excellent and friendly checkin and staff. Good quality self catering villa apartments - everything works, clean and roomy. Excellent outdoor pool. Very close to the good beach. Excellent local shop within 5mins walk. Quiet! CONS Parking for actual hotel/reception not great so park on a side road and walk to the reception when you check-in. Not central for Marbella. Car parking on the road (but was safe, no issues of you keep valuables locked away in the boot). Lots of rocks in the shallows by the beach :(
