The outdoor pool is heated and we were allowed to use it at night and very early morning which was brilliant. Staff were very helpful and friendly and go out of their way to resolve any issues. Breakfast was very fulfilling and the fruit so fresh and sweet. Hot options and bakery food were substantial. Rooms are spacious and everything is thought of; from extra toothbrushes and paste, vanity kits and chocs by the bedside. So many restaurants within a stone throwaway and just off the Promenade and beach. Perfect location. We went to another city and came back just to spend some time at this hotel. The train station is 15 minutes walk away and from there 20 minutes into Malaga itself.
