Lovely grounds that need a bit more care and attention.
Guests that vape and/or smoke as they please.

Overall, I recommend this property however, bear in mind that groups of guys on golfing trips can be a little rowdy. The staff are all top class and very helpful. It does feel like the management need to allow for a larger budget to spruce up the grounds and maintain the rooms and bathrooms to enhance what has been a well designed property.

Beautiful hotel with view on the sea, big clean comfortable rooms, nice terraces, beautiful inside garden; food was good, the service was great. This place is perfect for summits because it has a nice big conference room. I would not choose it for a summer vacation because the beach is far. But it's the perfect place to play golf and to rest.

Wonderful location everywhere opportunity for golfing, service was perfect and very friendly employees food was good, beds were also good rooms they need some upgrade but there were comfortable and everything was very clean! Should I go back to this resort? Yess I will I was very satisfied 👌😊

Stunning hotel with lovely staff. Reception staff were warm and welcoming, housekeeping staff were lovely and greeted me every time in the corridors, Daniel at the bar made us feel at home and makes great cocktails. I had fun playing golf, had a relaxing time at the gorgeous spa, and then enjoyed the views of Marbella from the hotel. Breakfast was delicious, and eating outside with the view of the pool and mountains is a must!

We stayed here for a few nights during the summer. The property itself is very beautiful and relaxing, very quiet. Gorgeous pool and plenty of chairs to find a place to lay out. The room was a great size with a large bathroom. We had a great balcony and was a great space to have drinks in the evening but a bit odd since you can see your neighbors. No privacy wall.

Location is okay if you don't mind not having anywhere to go walking distance. You'll have to take a taxi to go anywhere or the shuttle service the hotel provides for free which you need to secure a time slot for departure but they make stops in different areas and the driver was very kind. You can order ubereats if you don't feel like eating at the hotel or leaving but the options are very limited since the hotel is pretty isolated.

Overall, great hotel if you want to relax. We did have one issue where the reception staff was making rude comments in Spanish as the staff assumed my husband didn't understand the language. But the issue was only with one staff member.
