This review is based on the hotels rating, purporting to be 5 star. Booked this resort for gf's birthday. Haven't been to the Costa Del Sol for about 15 years, was interested to see how it was looking. This resort has had an extensive refurbishment and change of ownership. As it's not a new build, you have limitations when it comes to adopting the latest design trends. The building itself still has a 'retro' feel to it. The bedrooms aren't quite to the standard of a 5 star but that of a good 4 in terms of layout, materials, and size. The pool makes for the centre of attention, with the building/rooms moulded around it. The location of the hotel means you should definitely hire a car if you want to see Marbella and even Estepona (although it's looking incredibly run down, so I'd suggest don't bother). You have easy access to the beach and a boardwalk to stretch the legs. There are a couple of onsite restaurants, although the Greek one was closed when we were there. We ate at the Italian a couple of times (one more than we wanted but didn't want to drive to Marbella again). Food was 6/10 for a 5 star, the service was decent, and the wine was ok. Breakfast, weirdly, everyone seems to rave about this, but we found it to be uninspiring and, tbh a very basic buffet. There are items that you can order from the menu, but once again, the quality was poor. Service at breakfast was very attentive, and the ambience was pleasant. Food around the pool area was ok, service at this area is below standard so they need to improve this, we had to go look for a waiter a couple of times. The hotel at night is nicely illuminated and is welcoming. Music and vibe - generally quite classy, but one day it went a bit 'Ocean Beach' vibe, music too loud, and the wrong type for their intended clientele. They need to focus on appealing to one demographic instead of trying to appease everyone. If they could improve the areas which are possible such as food, service, and vibe, then I'd move it to a 4 rating.
