Great apartment-style rooms? Check. On-location dining that captures the spirit of the locals (and not just tourist-trappy eats)? Check. It's just over an hour drive to get to Gibraltar and about a 35 minute drive from the airport. Highly recommended!!!!! Con: No A/C in the rooms, which was slightly surprising. Bottom Line: A marvelous lodging option in southern Spain. Enjoy!

Distinctive pink architecture and wide outdoor spaces are perfect for conference or leisure groups. A fairly recent EUR7 million refurbishment of all 148 rooms and suites has revitalized the distinctively Spanish decors with all modern amenities. The aspirational Imperial Suite is a marvel. Split-level with the top floor a glass box on top of the hotel, the entertainment areas have a private bar, leather sofa suites and a telescope to survey the entire coastline. The Beachfront too has been redone for the summer season with landscaping and furniture. The health club is small but perfect for basic workouts, but my favourite place was the swim-up bar in the lovely lagoons and whiling away the day in the sunny gardens.

They pride themselves on their anonymity (no Facebook, Insta or TripA) and request you call them to book. We stayed at the hostel next door but will absolutely stay here next summer. They sell out rapidly as room rates Are only $200 eu. I don't work for them. But work in the hotel industry and feel a little Kindred spirit with this lovely spot.

Almost feels like a cruise ship with all the amenities and British guests but this hotel has a nice pool, beach club, gym, beautiful rooftop bar and great breakfast buffet. Rooms are nicely appointed; my "Keep the Secret" room had a patio/balcony with side view to the sea. Short 5-10 minute stroll to Old Town and good value for the money. I did wander over to Puente Romano and Marbella Club for an even more upscale vibe that was only a 10-12 minute taxi ride away. Puerto Banus is another 5-10 minutes and you can catch a ferry boat to there from a marina promenade that is just a 5 minute walk from the hotel.

The hotel is right by the ocean, and our room opened to a balcony overseeing the beach. So needless to say, the view was AMAZING. The balcony is awesome to sit and relax and enjoy a drink. And the room is so comfortable and has very good amenities. The room features are controlled via a smartphone that can also be taken out and used for internet and navigation if needed. That was a pretty nifty thing to have around, so I thought it was cool. The shower is awesome and the water pressure is great. The toiletries are good and that's all I need to say about that. I also experienced the SPA. I had a deep tissue massage, and although it wasn't that deep, it was so relaxing and refreshing. You also get a pass to use the SPA facilities for the day, but I ended up not using that... since I wanted to be by the beach instead. There's hotel-only beach seating area with service staff available for food and drinks. We tried some appetizers and they were awesome. We also ate at the hotel restaurant on beach level. There was live music, which was awesome... although the sound wasn't really balanced, so we could barely hear the singer while we were able to hear the music just fine. The staff are super friendly. Happy to help, take pictures, provide service, whatever you need. The hotel also has bicycles available for use for the day which is great for riding along the beach. We'll definitely come back to this place when we revisit.

Opening in 1926 as a luxury hotel, this property has served several functions over the years but was restored to its original grandeur in 2017. From the moment you pull up to the grand front entrance, service and attentiveness is off the charts! I was warmly greeted, assisted with my bag, shown to my room and told about the range of amenities at the hotel.Every staff member here is nice and speaks several languages which is nice. There is a full spa and my massage there was terrific. The breakfast restaurant has everything you could ever want available and the room looks out to the water. There is a rooftop bar that is classy and pours a great drink along with views of the water and city. The casual lunch restaurant, Botanicals, is also quite good with impeccable service. My room was one of the sea view suites, a splurge but worth the extra cost to have a large outdoor patio, views of the pool and sea as well as plenty of room to relax. Malaga is just coming into it's own as a vacation destination in Spain thanks to the Picasso museum, large port and plenty of restaurants.

We were only able to stay one night and by the end we wished we booked longer (Ronda and this hotel are amazing). It is in a great location. The back side of the hotel bumps up against the valley and the front has great views of Ronda. The place is quirky. The registration desk is an old Seat car. There are random sitting areas all throughout the place and words cannot describe them. There are a couple of outdoor seating areas and a fun pool. The photos on the website do a better job. The room was comfortable and provided what we needed. The self serve bar was open all day and night. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Spain. Enfrente is not a plush, party hotel.
