The experience started incredibly well with such a slick arrival at the front door with cases taken and the porter takes you to a dedicated reception- in this case Marco - who gave a warm and genuine introduction with flawless booking in accompanied by a glass of cava and sweet treats.
The polished explanation of the hotel
And facilities was excellent.
The hotel has a varied amount of places to lounge. Cleverly separated and accommodated differ lent needs.
The room we had- 1905 - has a fantastic sea view - and is clearly recently refurbished to a high standard.
There are a number of eating and drinking places within the hotel.
Marco restraunt is beautiful in the evening with fabulous lighting and bespoke dining arrangements making it feel very special.
There is a healthy eating place within honestly the best menu for quilt free eating.
Lucia is the inclusive beach club with chill vibes and lots of sunbed options. It opening at 11am and a queue can easily form so I recommend getting there for 10.45am and waiting.
There is a club next door called Nikki’s. It costs in excess of £300 which gives you around d £250 bar credit. It just doesn’t make sense in my view.
There is a brilliant gym and tennis centre.
Don’t use uber. Just go the the outside porter and ask for
A taxi which will be with you in seconds and will take you to Marbella in about 15 minutes for £20. Or Puerto Banus in 25 mins for about £28.
I would come back for sure.
The staff are excellent. Truly deserved mention to Marco who was our first and lasting impression and is an ambassador for the hotel.
And finally. Don’t be fooled by the concrete 1970s architecture at the frontage. It hides a gem of luxurious interior.

Amazing 5* experience
This hotel is absolutely amazing! The staff are incredible and make you feel extra special! Luz at breakfast is the best, she makes sure you have everything you need & gluten free porridge with lots of berries! Estella made our birthdays very special, she really goes above & beyond with every detail to make our celebrations amazing & hopefully next time we visit she has a promotion she really deserves it! Daniella at concierge makes sure we have everything we need, she has every contact to book any experiences she’s amazing! Patricia & Angel on arrival are fantastic, and always smiling making sure we have the best time. Finally the kids club is incredible, our daughter loves it! Miriam is fantastic, always smiling! Thank you for a 5* stay as always, we love to visit the hotel & thank you again to the staff for making it an amazing holiday.
Gem!
This hotel is simply amazing! We spent a long weekend in the hotel and we did not want to leave. All is just perfect. Excellent setting, right on the beach, a beautiful garden and a nice beach club Lucia. Nice restaurants, bar. The hotel is very nicely reconstructed, with super design. What makes the hotel to stand out though is the service. All staff, be it at the vallet parking, reception, restaurants, beach bar, all, are extremely professional, helpful and friendly.

Priceless
Maggy at reception recognised me and my Dad as we have played at the club many years ago (20+). I wanted to play again at a club where my Dad, who is 86 now, played tournaments in the past and I had coaching lessons. We had a wonderful time playing as a family with my wife and my dad with my mum watching from the balcony. The clay courts are very well kept and the environment is beautiful and the staff was very kind to us all. It is not cheap but the souvenirs are priceless.

If you're considering booking this hotel, BOOK IT !!!!
As someone who has stayed in multiple 5 star hotels, any expectations i had for this hotel, they were exceeded. From the beginning of walking into the hotel we were met with such friendliness and kindness. Libby gave us a tour of the hotel and she was very helpful. All of the reception staff were extremely helpful. Keep up the good work. The breakfast was exquisite, the staff were attentive and food was impeccable. Manero restaurant was also amazing. The hostess at the front (the woman with the blonde hair sorry I don't know her name) was super friendly and always had a chat with us. I will definitely be back.
