We really enjoyed our time, minus a few things.
Pluses- great staff, especially at the front desk. The staff is warm, welcoming, and very helpful. The hotel is located right on the beach and the promenade. The rooms are spacious and clean (splurge for oceanfront- excellent view of the sea).The breakfast is outstanding. The Port is a short 5-10 minute walk. Benalmedina Pueblo is an inexpensive bus ride with a stop across the street, where you can go to have an amazing view of much of Costa del Sol. The pool area is small but nice as well.
Minuses- the website states free umbrellas and chairs- but there's only 30 for a large hotel, and you have to sign up for them at 8 am, first come first served, no guarantees. And you can only use them for 4 hours. We decided to go to the next beach block where for €14 you can have an umbrella and two chairs plus wifi for the whole day without having to be up at the crack of dawn to reserve. Also, there's many steps down to get to the beach (and back up), no elevator if you have walking troubles. And on those steps is a stink of sewage at all times. Also, if you enter the property from the promenade after 10 pm, you must walk many flights to reach the entrance to the front of the property.
One last note, if you have a room on the 7th floor, beware- there will be lots of noise over your head until the bar on the 8th floor closes after 1 pm (although the noise continued until like 2). Better to have a lower floor if you like sleep.
