Sol Marbella Estepona Atalaya Park

Good room and room service but no kettle and drink facilities, no bottle of water in room and hotel shop was closed and this was in the afternoon.
Great breakfast Poor buffet dinner the hot food was mostly cold no supervision of hot food area unless it was to replace empty containers. Jazz Barr closed as were shops. Entertainment was a joke, I wish I could get a job for doing so little. Reception was helpful. Location was zilch small pebble beach a 15 mins walk to a bus stop or nearest cafe very bad to walk there at night and back on a narrow road. A couple of the cafes by the main road were really excellent thank god for that. Booked this hotel based on it was part of the Melia Hotel group, what a disappointment to the Melia name.
Never going back to this one again.

Very strange treatment by the managers. Not clear hotel rules and disinformation from workers caused that living near the hotel we sometimes spent time and money there, in their restaurants. As an educational (professional) center i even offered them cooperation. When i lost my phone in the area they (both managers) behaved themselves in front of me and my little son quite irrespectfully, i was informed that i can't be there (however other workers and restaurants said inverse and we never hided the fact that we are not from the hotel). My son asked me why those gentlemen are like that, and i thought that it was a very smart question. Even though i was "exceptionally" allowed to come to the area at the end, to do so i would have to make a phone call to the manager, i don't think i need any special treatment, respect and clear hotel rules are enough for us. How they allowed themselves talking to me was a strange observation, they (especially the local hotel manager giving me his phone number) did not forget to express a complete lack of respect. This is where you understand how much their nice treatment costs (equals to a hotel room) otherwise they won't consider you being worth it. It touched me because i work with families and also with tourists, i would not even think to treat anyone like that. I used to recommend the place because for a longer time my impression was good thanks to local workers. Well everyone makes mistakes.
