Best Hotels near Río Totalán, Totalan

Pongo una estrella porque no se puede poner ninguna. Tema habitaciones muy mal, camas horribles almohadas extra finas, si quieres contracturarte todo el cuerpo son geniales para eso. Habitaciones dobles significa 2 camas (novedad porque nunca lo he visto asi) las cortinas de las ventanas no tapan nada la luz. La cisterna del wc no funciona, y bajas a recepcion (porque no hay telefono) y te miran con mala cara... El hotel, bueno, alojamiento porque esto de hotel tiene bien poco, esta lleno de carteles de respetar el descanso de los demas, pero ellos se ponen a hacer obras a las 8 de la mañana... cosa genial! El desayuno es mediocre poca cantidad tratandose de un ”buffet libre” y cuidado no cojas cosas repetidas porque encima te dicen que ”barbaridad como comes”, a la hora de reponer. Como que se quejan por todo! Luego vas a ducharte y te encuentras con pelos en las toallas que no son tuyos y toallas supuestamente limpias!! Una asquerosidad!!!! Muy mal, muy nefasto, muy antiguo, personal nada amable y encima se quejan si ”pides” cosas! No volvere JAMAS.

First and foremost this was a very nice place. I was alone and spent three nights before heading to Nerja to take Spanish lessons. Rincón is a very nice small town. It is about a 20 (ish) minute bus trip to Malaga. The bus takes cash (€1.7) ish. As a well travelled American I am very flexible accommodating to different cultures. So here are some thoughts to be prepared for American travelers: - The water is shut off at night ( approx 11 pm to 7:30 am) . This is, I believe, due to the severe drought. Coming from CA- not a problem. We know droughts. - Toilet paper DOES NOT go in the toilet- it’s a hard habit to break. Pipes are old. Paper clogs the drains- so get used to reaching around to the bin. Yep- even THAT paper. - Breakfast is minimal- this isn’t America people- bread, cheese, yoghurt, jam and some hard boiled eggs. - I didn’t have a car so I walked everywhere. Marcella will tell you a nifty shortcut to get to the bottom of the hill. All in all a nice place to stay. Very quiet- I wish the pool/jacuzzi had been heated - that’s my only negative- just too chilly for 70 degree weather.

The hotel has a great location, excellent service, pleasant and courteous service, our only downside is that the pillows are a bit hard and the smell of pipes in the bathroom, but you can't stand it. In general, we will repeat it again because we returned with a satisfactory price and a satisfactory price.

Booked a trip with friends, returning yesterday. Staff were very pleasant but the rooms we were allocated varied massively. Friends were on 6th floor and we were on 4th floor (401). It was like we were staying in different hotels. Our room was very, very shabby. Air conditioning unit leaked so much that one side table was flooded with water unless we put a bin underneath. There was a space that should have had a fridge but it was just a mouldy empty cupboard. Bathroom was tiny with a cheap plastic wall mounted hair dryer that was useless. Toilet made trickling noise all night. Very old rickety wooden chair that we had to put outside of room otherwise we would have tripped over it because room was so small. Had we not been with friends we would have moved hotels. I would say the difference in room quality is circa 1970's Butlins and 6th floor present day Premier Inn. We were on 3 night mini ”moon” after getting married. We asked to change rooms but they said they were full. All that said staff were pleasant when approached but couldn't do anything. This end of the resort is undergoing renovation. It is a mainly Spanish holiday resort which was refreshing. Very little English spoken in bars and restaurants which led to a few meal surprises. Breakfast was adequate but repetitive and restaurant area was hot and stuffy. We tried eating outside but were told not too which was a shame. Coffee machine queue very tedious so gave up. Best bit was the beach bar opposite the hotel. Comfy sun beds, music and table service for 15 euros a day, one free cocktail included. Would consider trying again for a long weekend in couple of years when all rooms have been completely renovated and the promenade works have finished.
