Good …With a few tweaks could be great
4/5 • 22/3/2025The welcome and information at check in was bright, brief and relevant. Super actually and we were in our room in 10 minutes despite our early arrival. The resort comprises a big hotel ( a surprise to us) and various sporting arenas on the grounds. There are a number of smallish pools which would get a bit tight at the height of summer I imagine.
We arrived in bad weather so that put a dampener on things as it were particular our walking possibilities, which are many, once you navigate the very busy roads of Marbella to reach the prom via the old town. Took us about 30 hair raising
minutes to walk down.
There are hill walks just behind the hotel too. The room was lovely and modern and kept very clean. The separate loo had no ventilation and was a bit stale smelling. Also a towel in that loo would have been appreciated.
The hotel was at low capacity and it appeared the GOs were being bedded in for the season under the omnipresent Arturo, who was fantastic. Whilst there were plenty of GOs knocking about wait staff were thin on the ground. They worked hard and were both efficient and pleasant but at most meals and in the bar it was a struggle to source drinks.
On the drinks the wine was nice as were the spritzes but the cocktails were poor.
The food was mixed with breakfast poor of choice and quality. Lunch very good and dinner good. We went to the speciality restaurant and had mixed success. Starters were ok, fish was very good but the duck was dire. The meal was quickly and pleasantly served but it did not feel special.
We did some activities which were fine.
We have been to many club meds and on price ( its expensive) quality ratio it does not match up with others in Portugal, Turkey and Morocco particularly . Again to repeat the weather was poor during our visit and this would certainly have affected our perception to some degree.
