Hotels on first line in Andalusia

Decided to book this hotel for my wife and I for a few days away while over seeing her family the room we had was a pool view very easily accessible from the lifts

Huge hotel with huge pool, but it gets super busy in summer. A hotel for family, no for romantic stay.

Very good hotel. Best breakfast buffet ever. Sooo much to choose from and fresh! Comfortable beds and pillows. Very friendly personell. Price very reasonable. 10 out of 10.

The great things about the hotel are its really close to shops, bars, restaurants and the beach. It's around 2 hours from Malaga and 30 mins from Almeria. The pool is great and people genuinely don't reserva loungers

They come, use the pool and then take their stuff away. Its made it really easy to get loungers throughout the day. They go off for lunch and siesta and then come back until about 7pm

Booked this hotel through Love Holidays for a week in August school holiday. It was appealing because we could get a spacious 2 bedroom apartment for one week for £1000

Good location with the beach If you like not leaving a complex this is the place for you, if you like to go out and about I wouldn’t recommend Rooms clean and tidy loads a space could do with a refurb Wouldn’t say it is a 4 star resort more a 3 star

Pool areas are nice and clean however there is no food aloud around the pool and as ti be eaten at the pool bar are restaurant nothing major though

Just came back from Estival Islantilla. This is amazing hotel, right on the beach. Staff all with hands free radio communicating in Busy time in raestaurant make sure you been seated

Pretty hotel, swimming pools and sun beds are many, Food is nice different each evening with a theme. Pool bar burgers are a big dodgy and under cooked

The beach is accessible from a gate at the back of the hotel and you need your room pass to exit and enter which is a great idea

Firstly every member of staff here need all the praise in the world [minus the useless lifeguards who spent all day blowinf whistling at absolutely nothing are too busy chatting amongst them self] however all others work so extremely hard and for long period of times super helpful and so friendly

We stayed here at the end of July for 10 days (2 adults and a 12 year old boy). The one bedroom apartments are as the photos show and are kept spotlessly clean

Pool area was really fab! Bar for snacks and drinks also handy and cheap enough. We didnt avail of food in the restaurant in the complex at all as we tend to like to eat out and try the restaurants around

Location was great, the back gate gave a short cut to the local Spar and busy area/small ***** of restaurants, bars and shops etc

The location is typical in tourist developments next to the sea (about 150 or 200 m from the hotel, the distance indicated by Google Maps is greater because it does not take into account the rear exit of the hotel, which avoids a long detour)

Nice clean and friendly place, a bit further than advertised to the beach!! Also small buffet - not a huge choice. But just enough... For the price we would go again. But don't expect much...

Very Spanish complex and I think we were the only English speaking people at the pool (Irish) :) but that did not bother us whatsoever! Lovely place!

The bathtub was a great plus for me, and the building itself along with its huge pool area creates a special, almost resort-like vibe. Wi-Fi was stable in the room and only slightly weaker by the pool

Sunbeds are constantly “reserved” with towels for hours, making it nearly impossible to find a free one. Most concerning, my hotel door was left open after cleaning - a serious safety red flag

The pool area often turns into a kindergarten - kids running, screaming, splashing, and using water guns despite the posted rules, with parents encouraging it

Busy hotel the restaurant is very busy self service with queues at peak times, big open room really noisey and not relaxing atall , on the other hand there was a veranda adjacent to the main dining room which we thought was amazing, relaxing and more to our taste, the food was tasty with a large choice of everything, themed nights tasty treats and SWEETS! We all loved the sweets 😍

Basic enough room in saying that everything we needed was there , very very clean, housekeeping were excellent, the best we have encountered

On the positive side, the staff were friendly enough and helpful when approached. However, overall the hotel didn’t quite live up to expectations and could do with some updating and better management of its facilities

Great hotel for families with plenty of pools, dining options and access to the beach. I would say quality of food is just average and desserts in particular are limited variety. But all in all we had an excellent stay

I stayed at this hotel for two weeks in August. Check in was good apart from them forgetting to give us a room key which they rectified and later rectified to work at the beach door to come in and out

The pools are great all 4 main ones are the same 1. 2m and there was no fighting over pool loungers. The swim up bar being adults only is a great place to get away from children and it was 0

Good: Great for kids, decent food, mostly well kept grounds, comfortable rooms Bad: Noisy at night, particularly on Friday night when the party happens. Pools aren't heated like advertised

It is a very big hotel. With a tone of sun loungers. But none on the beach. The beach itselfe is nice though!

We loved that there was so much to do for kids and the staff were all so friendly and welcoming.

Rooms were fine, food was good and the pool was really nice. From a service standpoint there were some flaws mainly due to the staff not being the quickest but overall it was fine. Far from perfect but still quite good

Great hotel and experience! We had a suite and we really enjoyed ourselves at this hotel. Highly recommended! Clean, relaxing and friendly atmosphere.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The hotel and extensive grounds are immaculate. There are 2 large pools and one has a path to the beautiful Barrosa beach, where there are also restaurants

This is a most beautiful beachfront hotel with every facility you could imagine, yet it's the staff that make it really special. I was there for a week, the only English person in the hotel, and everyone was so friendly

I would have liked to have gone to Jerez , Cádiz and Seville but wasn’t able to. Hotel Valentin in Novo Sancti was fantastic just two minutes from the beautiful beach. The hotel had a beach bar / restaurant and sun beds

Large spacious hotel which I loved Food was fantastic I was on half board so breakfast and evening meal. Couple of area where snacks were available and 2 pool bars

Lovely​ apartment complex, clean and bright. However there are a lot of stairs and no lifts. If you have walking difficulties you would be better on the ground floor. Good pools which were very clean, plenty of sunbeds

It had lovely large swimming pools with beautifuly kept gardens . The view we had was amazing

For a short stay had everything we needed.

The apartment was nice, clean, and check in was easy. The breakfast was good and near to town. My only one minor complaint was there was not any wifi in the apartment

I only stayed for one night, but this would have been a problem if the stay had been longer. Overall would recommend this hotel

weather was goog, location perfect

The hotel was clean and modern. Got a room on the ground floor with the pool view. Didn't get much sunshine inside the room or on the terrace. The food was delicious, really enjoyed the variety, especially ice cream

The pool was a little bit cold both outside and inside and the sauna smelled a bit poorly

Spacious apartment with sea views. Very well located and well decorated.

The hotel is very good, good location, comfort, views and everything perfect. But what is really REMARKABLE is the staff, they are very nice, friendly at all times, very efficient

Since we walked through the door at reception they have explained everything to us wonderfully and all the employees are lovely. Thank you very much for everything ❤️

What a beautiful hotel, with amazing Staff! We only came for the weekend, but the staff couldn't do enough. We will definitely be back. Thank you. 😎

anyway it has a nice sea view with nice walking area at the beach

Everything was top-notch, from the cleaning to the room service. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and you can get the best views of the sandy beach from your room.

( and I mean the whole night, every 120 seconds you could feel the vibration of whatever that is making the noise. When I raised this with the staff, I was simply told there’s nothing they could do about it

The hotel had lots of facilities, breakfast was good and the staff went above and beyond for entertainment

The bed was terrible, creaked and rocked. The restaurant menus and prices were nowhere to be seen.

Sadly, instead of a restful stay, I’ve left more exhausted than when I arrived The staff, restaurant and such were really good! I hope the hotel management do something about that as I am sure I am not the first one bringing this up and for future guests

High quality hotel, amemities, and great location. 2 pools, rooftop bar. Nice rooms, most with sea view! Note: Lots of older tour groups here and in area fyi if seeking younger crowd.

The room was clean and the view of the beach was gorgeous. The only thing I would mention is that it is an older crowd and the staff seemed to cater to them. They weren’t as friendly or receptive when we asked questions

Buffet was included and it was great with a lot of choices. Pool area was large, clean and not short of loungers. Pool was not heated so water was cold this time of year

The cleaning staff was super friendly. Otherwise I would highly recommend this hotel. Room was comfortable and very clean. We had a car and parking was not included but you could park on the street for free

Very nice hotel, good breakfast included in price. Option for lunch and dinner. Food is good and reasonable price with many choice options

The staff send us three times away while we wanted to check in because it wasn’t 02:00 P. even though we wrote them two weeks in advance that we will arrive earlier than expected and they said it would be okay

At the main kids pool at the back there were quite a few broken tiles and sharp edges at one of the showers. The kids loved the splash pad and the mini golf. The kids club staff were great fun at the evening disco’s

Lovely hotel, well kept and clean. Check in experience could be better but overall we had a brilliant time and would return

Beautiful sea view, clean pool, staff all helpful and friendly, can't ask for much more. Some of the room maintenance could have been better but it was only minor things, nothing to spoil a holiday

A perfect place for families with children. Kids' pool area with water slides was great. Activities and program for both adults and children were well planned - especially Barcy was a huge hit for kids

Direct access to the promenade and beach. Would definitely recommend this hotel

I loved the place, but do not take the exit Torremolinos take exit Los Alamos to go to the Hotel, no much good restaurants around unless you’re going to Malaga to eat lunch or dinner, best Breakfast Buffet ever, and I fell in love with those coffee machines: loved the coffee in a few words … you’ll love it!

A lovely week at a great hotel, bedroom very comfortable with a balcony a partial sea view, Restaurant always something different every day and of a good standard

All inclusive good a bottle of wine or glass which ever you want. Location good straight on the sandy beach

There is just one small thing I would like to mention: instead of serving cocktails and coffee in cardboard cups, which tend to break at the bottom, it would be great to find a better alternative

Lovely hotel and staff. Situated in a great spot right on the beach, rooms immaculate and included safe and aircon in price

The animation team was very active and friendly, especially with the guests and children, creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the stay

I would especially like to mention Lenuta, who provided us with helpful information about the restaurant and made our experience even better

Lobby, Rooms and Restaurant renovated and in good shape. Pool Area not very good. Very old tiles with water puddles everywhere, loose puts, dirty puts, loose handrails,.... needs to be renovated ASAP

Room has an amazing view! Non of the pools were open. You have to pay for everything on top including the safe! Not coffee machines or kettles in room. Kids club 1 person for 15/20 kids

Fantastic hotel, very friendly staff, beautiful beach. Only problem was no amenities open in the area. We did have a great night in the bar though.

Amazing place for holidays!! Perfectly located in front of one of the best beaches in south of Spain, with direct access to it

Our daughter went for a couple of hours every morning and loved it. Evening entertainment also great. Accommodation very nice and location gorgeous as on the beach

Very nice decorated, following the concept of “less is more” which helped create a spacious place for the four of us. And the views from the room… simply stunning (see picture)

There are lots of places to relax, plenty of sun loungers, and the sea and beaches are right outside. Shops and bars are nearby too. The view of the sunrises and sunsets are amazing too

Just back from a fantastic week with my husband and our friends,first time at this lovely hotel And won’t be our last we all loved it x staff are all so hardworking and friendly special shout out to Noella at the main bar she was always so lovely and always smiling x also the restaurant staff they were always so nice despite some rudeness we seen from other guests ( not good tbh),food was also really...

Reception staff are also grumpy, this service would not be tolerated in Ireland. Food menus need to be more tasty, a lot of evenings we just had salad as the hot food was not very nice

All inclusive for 10 days, the food was great and a huge variety, though after 7 days did become a little repetitive, but what place wouldn’t. The hotel was clean and the staff amazing

We stayed at the hotel to attend a truly memorable event. The ocean views were absolutely breathtaking and simply one of the highlights of the hotel

You could see the ocean from a variety of spots within the property and it took my breath away! The hotel is approximately a 25-minute walk to the Marina, which offers a variety of restaurants and shops

The pool and sun-lounger area was absolutely fantastic with no problems at all — just be prepared for a very ice-cold pool! All in all, we absolutely loved our stay at the Best Sabinal and would definitely recommend it

Lunch and dinner had live stir fry cooking and that was a particular hit. Normally on all inclusive holidays I eat out every 2/3 nights as I get sick of the food. We didn't go out at all here, which tells its own story

Sea views are incredible and very peaceful. We had many a night sitting on the balcony with a bottle of all inclusive red wine. I almost dropped a star on account of a few rude staff members in the restaurant

The spa facilities themselves were fantastic, and the staff at the bars were very generous with the drinks (so much so that we even had to ask for *less* alcohol!). Our room was stunning, with a beautiful view

The food was good, although a little repetitive at times, so we did choose to eat out on a few occasions despite being all-inclusive. One of the chefs especially deserves excellent credit for his hard work

I don't give many hotels 5 stars so it goes to show how good this place is The food, as some mentioned was quite samey at times, but there were that many options overall, it didn't bother us

Breakfast complete but I missed some more fruit variety! Might return for the marvellous beach and sea!!!

The best swimming pool is unavailable and without water (imagine someone, in a restaurant, shows you a dish of lobster and tells you that you can't eat it because the local government doesn't allow it)

Very difficult to go to the beach, which as I said is dirty, in the town its different and clean. the hotel should have a space for the guests, you have sit on the sand and take your own chair

Grande Hotel in the middle of nothing. The beach is dirty and far from hotel, no attractions, the town is far. Near the hotel nothing to see

Make the big swimming pool available again and bring an all inclusive option, and I will change my vote to 5*****

MUY AGRADABLE EN TODOS LOS ASPECTOS, LIMPIO, CON MUCHAS ACTIVIDADES, BUENA COMIDA, BAÑOS LIMPIOS, HABITACIONES AMPLIAS, HA UN PASO DE LA PLAYA, BIEN ATENDIDO POR EL PERSONAL, CON POBLACIONES BONITAS CERCANAS.

Pool was fantastic for kids an the hotel was spotless.

Having stayed in many 4* hotels I would say that this is more 3 star. We booked a double sea view room

The sunbeds however need replacing, they are not cleaned or tidied at night and the pool area could do with more attention on the cleanliness

The room was massive with a walk in wardrobe which was great. There was a large bath in the room which the kids loved. The pool was excellent, plenty of area to enjoy and a great area for the kids

We used the pool bar mainly as it was close to the room and this was good. The entertainment was ok but as this is mainly a Spanish resort it's mainly aimed for locals which we enjoyed

We have just come back from a 9 night stay here. We had a great time and really enjoyed staying at this hotel. We booked a beach suite which made life alot better as a family of four

With children, I booked a family suite, which is a duplex room. 8-meter double bed, and downstairs is a sofa bed. After the sofa is opened by the staff, it is also a large bed. The room can see the sunset, which is great

I've been staying at this hotel most of the times I visit Costa del Sol. Very nice concept, and helpfull staff. Needs a bit of fresh spirit

Wonderful and top location my compliments to all employees. Wonderful place feels like coming home with all the luxury.

The hotel is amazing and ideal for relaxing for a weekend.

Excellent！ No more other words except Muy Bien!

Everything was very clean and nice, but the air conditioning in the room didn't work, the dinner was too exotic and we didn't like it, they tried to charge us for parking when it was included in the price and we had to leave a €100 deposit to pay for the drinks and when we left they told us it would take 48 hours to return the remaining amount

I had two bookings and only stayed one night before going to another hotel for two nights, then returned for three more nights under the other booking

This one night stay was fine, but I have some complaints about the all inclusive upgrade on my second booking, but that is for that review

We arrived and the porter and staff we all so helpful and explained everything to us. They upgraded us for free as we had a baby. Loved every second of our stay. The grounds are Hugh and they have a beautiful pool

great location, friendly staff, good value for money but needs some renovations soon!

There are 3-4 pools , golf court,tennis courts, children rooms for entertainment, bars and so on. The room we were in was relatively clean and spacious and had almost everything (but not bedstands) you'll need

Please place more sand in the beach volleyball court

The view was far beyond “partial”: they could admire the sea, lush gardens, outdoor pool, and all the hotel terraces all at once. As for me, I made two separate bookings for a three-night stay

The outdoor pool is impressively large, with plenty of sunbeds available. The entire property was immaculately clean, and the green spaces were greatly maintained

From fresh seafood to superfoods like chia seeds, the buffet offered something for every taste. This hotel truly stands out among the 4* properties we've been to across Europe and the world

The pool is absolutely huge, and that was a big plus for us, as the kids spent most of the day at the pool area and enjoyed the kids splash park during its opening hours

I booked a side sea view room for my parents, and they were given probably the best possible one: located on the 5th floor at the far end of the hotel

They are working hard, but it seemed like the staff at Royal Andaluz was enjoying their work more :) Pool area: - the aqua fun pool for kids is located at a place that stays in the shadow in the morning and the water is super cold - it's only allowed for height between 80 and 150 cm, so parents with toddlers are not invited, which is a bummer for toddlers who most probably won't go on a ride by themselves...
