"Our stay was the third this year at an Ohtels hotel , it was overall a very enjoyable stay, the room was very spacious and the view was 1st class, my only criticism being the pool area not opening until 11am, also the dining room not opening until 8pm, other than that couldn't fault it, "

"Good location south of the town and port areas. Could walk along the promenade both directions, so visited the natural park area too. Great little Spar shop across the road and plenty of bars/restaurants within walking distance if required. Room clean and beds comfortable. Spacious lounge and kitchen area with plenty of facilities (although no kettle so boiled the water for a cuppa). Room temperature good. Guests generally not British. This didn’t matter to us, however it meant the entertainment...

"We booked a room with sea view and it was great, the room was spacious and just as pictured. The place is easy to find using a GPS but beware of the very steep uphill streets. There are about 5 parking spots on-site but 3 of them are covered and the street is so narrow, the person from the hostel recommended parking in the street to avoid risk of being blocked and not able to move our car. The check-in was not done on the hostel but at another hotel relatively far from here. Apparently they...

"We did only stay the 1 x night as we were en-route from Alicante Airport to Fuengirola. We didn’t arrive until 18:45 but had received, by WhatsApp, clear and precise instructions on how to gain access to our room. The room was comfortable with a very nice sea view terrace. The shower was hot with a steady flow of water. Overall the room was great and the staff, that we met, were very friendly. We will certainly stay here again"

"Great bungalow with essential air con. A few utensils had to be bought and kids bedroom was tiny. But otherwise a fun stay at a very Spanish campsite. Pool was perfect and the bar also great with ice cold beers & friendly staff. Evening entertainment is quite hit & miss but there’s a nice vibe about the place. You’re near to town of San José with nice family beach, also Los Genoveses beach is lovely if you get there in time as they close the road when the car park is full."

"We only stayed for one night as a stopover but the pool facilities were a great bonus for us, particularly with the children. A stones throw from the beach, plus restaurants, it felt like a nice resort close to, but away from the mania of the Costa Del Sol. "

"A beautiful hotel with fabulous views of the hills and the Alcazabar from the breakfast terrace. Right in the heart of the old town . There’s a beautiful square outside which is currently being renovated so best ask the hotel when works will finish if that is likely to disturb your stay "

5/5 Excellent

"My family has pretty high standards when it comes to hotels and I was afraid that this would be a little bit below them. But we absolutely loved it. Great hotel, great area great services we like to get out and explore and it was perfect for that, but it also seems to be an ideal place for people who just want to go on vacation and not even leave the hotel. We will definitely be going back."
