Beautiful views in all areas of the hotel. Stylish and modern decor, very relaxed. It is split across numerous levels so need to use lifts to access different parts. We were all inclusive and it wasn’t clear at the adults only pool what snacks were included. Pools open at 10am which is very helpful to stop sun lounger hogging. Cocktails not included in the all inclusive, but still a good selection of drinks with generous measures. The restaurant is well set out and good offer was good. The roof top area with jacuzzis and cocktail bar on an evening is stunning.

It was nice and scenic, however i don't feel like the things you get for all inclusive was enough. The Thai restaurant was only open on Fridays and Saturdays, the spa is over priced. The cocktails at the bar are not tasty or made as they should be, i almost feel cheated for the price I paid.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. It is clean. It is a stunning viewpoint every window overlooks a beautiful view. The only downside is that the swimming pool is outside of the hotel complex so you have to walk outside of the hotel along the beachfront and then into a gate using your key card to access the entrance. The pool is only open from 10 am so you end up sitting in a queue full of people to get in. The poolside is not very well maintained and is dirty. The pool bar only serves minimal food, pizza, chips or hotdog only. The hotel itself is fantastic. The children’s Club is fantastic. The rooms are large and new and clean with everything that you need. The food is exceptional having stayed in other hotels like Club med and five star hotels in the Caribbean the food is on part of this. The only thing that lets it down is the pool access and the poolside floor which is filthy.

We received a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite which was very much appreciated. We enjoyed beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea from our balcony.

The property was pleasant but it’s hard to consider it four stars. The two restaurants are open once or twice a week which is frustrating and perhaps reflects their demand. The bars close on the stroke of midnight and not a second longer. The staff, though plentiful, couldn’t convey less enthusiasm or care if they tried. The beach is pleasant but the hotel has no sun beds or umbrellas. Instead, you pay €8 per day/ per person. There are SO many alternatives at this price point. We won’t be returning.

Great staff, clean and lovely hotel. We enjoyed the pools, the spa and the bars and restaurants. The food options were great and they catered well for one of us who was gluten free. Location is a bit away from the lively areas but easily accessible by a quick taxi ride. We took a taxi to the Benalmadena marina for a boat trip. Was 11 euros each way.

Great hotel with a fairly large beach that you could snorkel off. Pool was a little busier than I would’ve liked and we had difficulty finding chairs first. Great food at the buffets. Would definitely stay here again.

Dirty, careless staff. I’ve never felt THIS detached and unwanted in any hotel in my life before. They don’t even have sheets that COMPLETELY cover the mattress, I was waking up touching the dirty matttess every morning, because I had moved in my sleep. I do NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

Loved having a balcany overlooking the water. Lots of different activities available as well as restaurants and bars. Some of the pool hours were a little limited and the dinner buffet wasn't worth the price but there are many local restaurants near by

The only good thing about this hotel was the beautiful sea view. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. The room was not clean, and there were tiny insects in the room. Although we booked the room for two adults and one child, it was only prepared for two guests. There were not enough towels, and housekeeping did not clean the room on time. Overall, our experience did not meet our expectations, and I would not choose to stay here again.

The most basic hotel with zero amenities including lighting in the room. All lights are controlled with one switch, no other option. This is a motel with a hotel name. The bed, pillows, lack of towels, not one tissue, dirty floors, smelly hallways, dirty swimming pool area, roof top filled with bugs. You pay for beach towels, you get one set for you entire stay and have to pay to get a change of pool towels. We paid for breakfast and never ate it once. You could hear people talking, babies crying in your room. Unfriendly staff, both room cleaners and front desk. Quite unhappy customer and we had 3 rooms.

Lovely hotel, right on the beach. Different layout to normal hotels as in you don’t access the pool directly from the hotel but that’s not a problem at all. The family pool is bigger and has more sun beds than the adult pool but we had no trouble getting sun beds at either. We were lucky enough to hire the belinese beds by the adults pool which looked straight over the pool and included a bottle of cava, 4 bottles of water and some food at lunchtime, which was perfect for us as we were B&B only (rather than all inclusive). The hot tubs on the roof were a real treat too, again with amazing views. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance but we took a taxi up to the Old Village a couple of times (ask the hotel to order a taxi rather than an Uber as a lot cheaper), and the restaurants and views from there are beautiful, worth the 5/10 minutes it takes to get there (depending on where you ask to be dropped off). The view from the hotel is stunning, we paid a little more and had a higher room with uninterrupted views, waking up to the sound of the waves was so relaxing. Good choice for breakfast as well, again with amazing views.

We had an ocean view room, really nice. We only had the breakfast buffet, excellent. We went down to the beach just to look, but didn't use the pool.

Perfect hotel location, stunning sea views everywhere from the hotel. Close to benalmadema and fuengirola. The hotel is so beautiful, we loved the solarium at the top floor. We enjoyed a memorable holiday.
