Pleasantly surprised
After we booked we read some past reviews and felt apprehensive. The way into the Hotel by car from Malaga is difficult to find. We found the room to be clean and comfortable, the food was OK but limited on choice sometimes, could have done with the inside bar open - but there were quite a few bars and restaurants within walking distance. The beach at Elviria (20 min walk) is excellent but you really need a car to fully enjoy this area. The hotel is situated in lovely gardens with pine trees which are kept very nice as is the swimming pool. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. After reading reviews from earlier years we can only assume hotel has different owners as we think we had value for money.

Clean, comfortable accommodation
Good value, clean, quiet, comfortable room. Accommodation is in rooms set around superb gardens. The main reception rooms are lovely and varied so you can be quiet or play games, watch t.v. etc. as you wish. Although the hotel is set at the side of a busy dual carriageway there was no road noise evident in the room we had. Staff were polite and friendly; please note that typically, Spanish people appear more reserved but reciprocate when you treat them with respect/friendliness etc. Food is again typically Spanish so do not expect 'English' bacon and eggs! Breakfast consists of hot Spanish bacon and a choice of eggs (scrambled, boiled, fried or poached) with a different addition each day e.g.sausage, together with a selection of cold meats, cheese, fruit, yoghurt, croissant, sweet bread rolls, plain brown and white bread, butter and jams and cakes. Evening dinner a chef cooked a meat and a fish choice at a griddle in the dining room plus there was always a further choices on the buff...Read more

LAS CRAPAS
The location was horrible...in the middle of no where, along the motorway! would not recommend this hotel to anyone. We went all inclusive which was a joke. Could not eat food and if you were lucky they might serve you at the bar! The bedrooms were clean BUT the rest of the hotel left a lot to be desired. The staff had very little English and this made things even more difficult. I have to say it was one of the worst places I have ever stayed. I would not even give it one star maybe they have received their 3 stars for their lovely gardens but DONT GO HERE FOR YOUR FAMILY HOLIDAY
