Hotel terbaik di Manilva

We had a nice & relaxed family holiday here for 8 nights. The views were to die for, they were just exceptional. The apartment itself was very spacious & clean upon arrival. It consisted of two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one of which was an ensuite to one of the bedrooms), the kitchen/living room area was very big, as was the balcony area. The staff were very friendly, helpful & accommodating. The swimming pools were fantastic, and our kids really loved them. The bar generally closes by 23:00 every night after the entertainment finishes. The entertainers really do their best to ensure that fun is being had! As we are primarily English speakers, I found that most of the staff were not as bilingual as I initially thought, but this is only a minor issue, as they had the bare amount of English to get by & to help. We were fully aware of the €200 deposit before arriving, so this was no issue for us. There was a separate charge of €5 per night (€40 total for us) for parking. Having a car is essential for staying here, as it opens up where you can go every day, be it to the shops or going to another town for dinner. As we had a car, we travelled to Gibraltar (approx 30/40 mins away), and to the most of the towns/ports, it also allowed us to go to different areas to do some food shopping for our apartment. Taxis are readily available I believe on a call but I do not know the costings for them. The cleaning of the rooms was non existent, during our time there, no one came to change the bed sheets, and we went to reception to get some new/fresh towels. They really need to improve on this. The sunbeds by the pool was another issue that can be improved upon, the pool opens at 10:00, and there are generally queues of people waiting in line at the gate ready to pounce & claim a sunbed, then they disappear. This really needs to be watched by staff as it is leaving many families no where to go/sit. They could really do with more sunbeds also! Overall, we had a nice & relaxed family holiday, we knew what to expect with regards deposits, and the need of a car. Take heed to the Tripadvisor reviews as they are fairly accurate feel of the place as a whole.

We stayed here for one week in sep.22. The hotel has a large parking garage, payed, where you you will be assigned a certain place for your time here. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom. But there is a shower in a bath, which has a very high entry, so eldery or people with mobiliy problems might have troubles getting in. Large balcony, but also in need of TLC. The railing is loose and there is very little privacy, because of the obique layout you can see everyone else. The swimming pool is large enough, at least in sept that was the case, because it was very quiet in the hotel. They would be closing down after a week and refurbishe, we were told. And that is very necessary! The outside looks worn-out at some places, could do with some paint. The hotel had build a new and large fitness area, but that was not accessible for guest. There were a few fitness equipment outside. Too bad we could not use the one inside. Pools were very cold and the first day we were here it smelled bad. But other days that was not the case. The beach was a bit let down for us. Not clean, not appealing, bad odour. Could really use an upgrade! The other disappointment was dinner. We booked the hotel assuming there was a buffet, at breakfast and dinner. That is what the hotel claimed to provide. Breakfast was indeed a buffet, but at dinner there was a menu to choose from, but choices were very limited. After a week we were fed up with it. For desserts there was very few options and really small. And you could only get 1, but when there should have been a buffet, we could have had as many as we had wanted. That is a bit odd. And not what we wanted or booked. For a 4* hotel, they could have done better. But it was also not bad. Hopefully the renovations they say they were going to do, will upgrade the hotel to the 4* level they claim -＞But in the meantime, we have read that's not really the case :(

This is a difficult hotel to leave. It's very clean and comfortable, the staff are nice and the rooms are especially large for a hotel of this type. We had a sea-view double and a sea-view Junior suite. Both were very nice and very clean. Possibly a bit dated, but not to any great extent. The Elba Estapona is right by the beach but the pebbles and submerged rocks make getting into and out of the sea difficult. It's a ten minute cab ride or a 35 minute walk to Estapona; there's nothing else around excepting a supermarket, 10 minutes stroll away, across the dual carriageway and past an untidy set of commercial buildings. Estapona itself has both a charming old town and a much more modern and very vibrant part. The breakfasts are extensive and well presented with a station for eggs cooked to order. There is everything you would ever need for a full English, continental or fruit feast. Dinner is not so great. Lots of options, but lacking in variety, and whilst there is a good deal of seafood on offer, the crab and lobster pieces are the ones that most cooks would use for soups or sauces. Your only option for lunch - and for me this is a real oversight - is the restaurant. There is no lunchtime pool or bar food service; no pizza or burger or salad. Just the restaurant. Other contributors have mentioned that there are birds in the restaurant; and there are. They're also by the pool, the bar and sometimes in the hotel itself. But they're sparrows and they're entirely harmless and really quite endearing. Overall, a very satisfying stay. However, it cannot be a 5 star hotel when compared to Claridge's, Atlantis The Palm or the Waldorf Astoria. 4 star maybe, with 3 star food.

Appartement génial tout confort ainsi que la terrasse une vue superbe tout équipé climatisation fonctionne très bien. Points négatifs restaurant très bruyant le bruit des chaises au sol est insupportable le matin il faut faire la queue pour prendre son petit déjeuner. Bouteille d eau payante à 3 euros le soir de l arnaque à la fin nous prenions nos bouteilles. Secouriste de la piscine malpolie ne fait pas du tout son travail mis à part être au téléphone s est permise de jeter nos serviettes par terre. Les piscines sont top mais à peine 5 transats autour de la piscine très peu de places à l ombre les clients se mettaient sur les marches autour de la piscine donc nous avons arrêter d y aller. Personnel de l accueil qui s est permise de nous téléphone pour nous convoquer à 16 h sur un air très hautain lorsque nous nous sommes rendus il était 15 h celle ci a refusé de nous préciser quel était l objet de la ” convocation” et qu il fallait attendre sa manager qui n était pas disponible avant 16 h ceux à quoi j ai répondu qu il n etait pas question que je revienne dans une heure que j avais autre chose à faire et qu ils n avaient pas intérêt à me téléphoner de nouveau.. bref c était assez étrange Si non pour le reste l endroit était très agréable mais une voiture est nécessaire pour se déplacer les places de parking le long de la résidence est limité l hôtel propose un parking payant à 8 euros par jour bonjour les manœuvres pour y accéder...

Beautiful surroundings, architecture, and rooms with friendly service. I love the comfortable, white-washed room with a balcony and sea view. My only complaint is that there are no authentic Spanish restaurants in the vicinity; the 25€ buffet dinner will become monotonous if I have to eat it every day. The “heated” swimming pool was also too cold for my liking, but sunbathing in the lush pool garden was still worth it.
