We had an excellent day. The apartment was very spacious, well equipped and clean. The facilities were excellent. We stayed in March and was a little wet so our teenagers enjoyed the indoor pool, paddle, crazy golf, table, tennis and gym. We used the on-site shop and restaurant for a pizza takeaway. we find it very handy to explore the local area. All the staff were particularly friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.

Property is ok , large rooms , furniture bit dated. Nice facilities but looking tired. Effectively in the middle of nowhere so taxis everywhere if you don’t have a car. If you do have a car it is extremely difficult to find. Even the second time and especially if you are trying to arrive or leave when the large school next door (which looks like a prison) is starting or finishing.

Beautiful apartment and resort. Friendly and helpful customer service. Only improvements could be heating one of the outdoor pools (indoor one is heated). Beach is ok, but rocky/seaweedy.

Overall the hotel was very good. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Warm and welcoming staff with some great activities for kids of all ages. The rooms are a touch dated and the Spa is too. Could do with some modernising. The sauna is not very big and was not working properly on my visit the steam room was very dated. The gym on the other hand was excellent. Would i stay here again? Yes i would.👍

The team at Playa Andaluza make the resort a wonderful place to go to. We felt at home. The only downside is that the bar/restaurant by the pool was ridiculously expensive.

Comfortable but too sedate for active teens
Comfortable and well maintained apartment. We were lucky to have a beautiful sea view BUT ground floor, so was a little close to poolside to use our balcony. Would have preferred at least one floor up for privacy. Staff very polite and helpful. Minor repairs,( towel ring fell off wall ), were fixed immediately and nothing was too much trouble. Enjoyed a lovely meal in on site Restaurant, Solero. Cocktails by the pool were a bit of fun at happy hour 17:00 , but after a few days this type of holiday not the best suited to our family-( and teenagers not interested in sitting by the pool or being in the pool after a few minutes). Lots of older people 60s, 70s and beyond. Felt safe but not activity based enough for us. However, the morning ‘stretch ‘ classes in the yoga studio were excellent and likewise, Pilates. Gym used by teenagers but they said equipment was limited. However, indoor plunge pool and whirlpool area was very pleasing.

Nice spacious apartments. Need of some updates. Great resort and facilities, a lot of activities for families. Not much in the area besides a supermarket and some average restaurants. The sea by the beach has a stoney seabed so not very useful.

10 am check out and expensive check in deposit
Checkout is at 10 AM and they charge a deposit to your credit card at check, almost twice as muchas the total value of your stay. At check out, you pay for the stay and your deposit will be refunded “a few days later.” Marriot doesn’t trust you and really likes keeping your money.
