Great tennis experience
Great experience! I recommend this for anyone who is trying to improve their game. I travelled solo from Canada and had a great time with the instructors. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, especially Maggi at reception. Carolina, Yohan and Leandro were great coaches!
Couples Getaway
Stayed here in September on a 3 night break without children. Wow! What a fantastic hotel with such a cool vibe. It is beautifully decorated, has a great feel to it, excellent service and great food. It is better than it looks in the photos. The beach club was a favourite of ours for the daytime We had an initial issue with our room but the team went above and beyond to rectify this for us. Patrica in particular was fantastic. The only thing that disappointed was that we booked an Oasis room with a pool as it was a very special occasion and the pool - well isn’t really a pool! If we had known how small/narrow it was we wouldn’t have bothered with the extra cost of this room. The outside area of the room also did not match the standards of the hotel elsewhere. However this would not put us off returning in the future and would recommend to others.
Great Experience
Excellent hotel and facilities, great service. The hotel rectified an issue with our buggy in a very satisaftory way. Magy at the tennis centre was super friendly and helpful, always trying to find a way to make things work. Unfortunately, the bonus round in the tournament was cancelled due to lack of courts so didn't get to play as much tennis as we would have wanted. Overall, a great experience.
Fully recommend
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.
