This is a review specifically about the bar and not intended to be a reflection of the hotel or the place generally. I live in El Palo and it is my bar of choice. I make an effort to visit. Most of the staff are friendly but not all! However, there are real issues that need to be addressed immediately. One of the urinals has remained unfixed now for weeks if not months. The other is now beginning to block up. The burners are broken and are waiting to be fixed. Therefore it is no longer a pleasant experience in the evening because it is cold. If it takes as long to fix the burners as it does the toilets it will be a very long time before it will be warm, comfortable and return to being a nice place to go in the evening. My advice is to stay away at the moment. Management what are you going to do about it? Because at the moment it is unacceptable and clearly a management and/ or financial issue.

Reviewing the restaurant only. The menu is not extensive, but there are plenty of options for most people -- and everything I've tried is quite good! Hard to beat the location along the beach in Pedregalejo

All very good the only negative was no drink making facilities in room or in the hotel

Et lite , men helt utrolig sjarmerende hotel (6-7 rom). Her får du mye for pengene. Fantastisk beliggenhet , meget god service , rene og fine rom med god størrelse, men ikke minst med nydelig utsikt ut til middelhavet. Den utsikten får du også om du prøver deg i boblebadet på takterrassen noe jeg naturligvis tok meg tid til. Godt varmt vann og med mulighet for å ligge å sole seg i solsenger. Meget god frokost med strandpromenaden rett på utsiden. Her kan du innta god mat , god kaffe , juice m.m og se på folk som tusler forbi. Hotellet har også ved hver frokost leid inn en person som spiller et instrument , synger eller gjør begge deler , som gjør at man skaper en litt ekstra god atmosfære rundt frokosten.Fra lunsj tid og ut kvelden fungerer det samme lokalet som en restaurant som serverer noen helt nydelige spanske retter.De er kjent for sin mat kunnskaper og stedet var ofte fullt av både lokale og tilreisende. Vil du ta deg en tur inn til Malaga for litt mer pulserende byliv (absolutt å anbefale) så tar det ca 15 min inn med taxi (10-12 euro) og 25-30 min med buss (3-4euro). Stoppestedene er rett i nærheten (2-3 min å gå). For den fotball elskende (som jeg selv er) er det 2 populære sportsbarer 3-4 min unna. En innertier av et hotell etter hva jeg var ute etter i min jobbreise.Kan varmt anbefales.

The staff service was outstanding prior and during my stay. They were all very friendly, kind, and attentive to my needs. The location to my liking was perfect!! Sadly my stay was too short, but I will definitely come back in the near future.

Must park 4-6 blocks away so pack minimally. Hot tub cold :( we didn’t get an ocean view room, so felt a bit tucked away. It was quiet, clean, and staff was friendly.

Excellent location. Neautufuo view from hotel room. Clean and comfortable.

Amazing spot. Comfortable beds, beautiful view. A bit noisy at night with the window open (air conditioning un rooms so technically you dont need to open your window....) but the sound of the sea makes up for the party sounds which pretty much quiets down by 1am. Excellent breakfast. Staff is very friendly and sweet. Dont expect to be rushed, but why would you when you have live music playing in the morning and comfortable seats to sit and watch the world go by! Such a cool place to stay in a very hip local area of Málaga. Would return 💯

We were drawn here because of the chap playing Spanish guitar in the entrance area. We had a couple of nice coffees here with a pretty outlook to the sea. We arrived early so did not need food, but what we saw food eise lookd nince and was being well received. The seats are comfortable, locals drop in- its just a great little stop off.

Served chicken tenders that were raw in the centre! No apology or removal of that from the bill - they were just reheated until slightly more burnt and tough. So disappointed by the rest of the food too (like the flavourless and soft patatas bravas). Drinks are very good though and waiting staff lovely!
