Kora Olea
10/10 Excellent
"I just spent a week at the hotel. It was excellent. I go to Malaga several times a year and I will definitely be returning. There is an Aldi next door to stock the fridge and use the kitchen in the mini-apartment. There is also a train station next 2 mins away. Gym was okay for me although probably not for a weightlifter. Only disappointment was that the pool was closed due to just being before ‘season’, although the weather was in the 20s."
Hotel Costa Málaga (Adults Recommended) by Pierre & Vacances
8/10 Good
"The hotel overall was fine—slightly worn, but still comfortable. The only frustrating part was on my last day: I went for breakfast at 10:15, but the staff had already started clearing the food away, even though breakfast is supposed to run until 10:30."
La Zambra Resort Mijas - Marbella The Unbound Collection By Hyatt
10/10 Excellent
"I'm trying to be as objective as I can.
Property was great. Views, great. Worth it.
Pools were closed, not good.
We ran out of water in the room, (Wife Pregnant) asked the front desk lady, we were told to wait until night time to get refills from the cleaning staff.
What is the world right? Weird.
There was a restaurant down stairs right by the stairs, 8 PM, we asked if we could stop by for some dessert or light snacks, we got told to go to the bar area instead.
We want to the bar area, bar area doesn't serve drinks after 6 they said.
So we just went inside our rooms and made tea there.
On another day, a gentleman working at night was able to offer us water though.
Later we found a loophole that if we want something to drink to go to the gym they have a water station there. It's easier than asking at the front desk because we would be told to wait for night time.
Juan working the valet was great. Compensated for the other (older gentlemen with smug face) who was not so great. Juan was helpful, would offer water. Would smile. (Not everyone does that here.)
I still chose to leave 5 starts because the property is great, and I would still say its worth to check it out, people like Juan do care and are the reason people should still come it regardless of the folks that work here who should not have a job in hospitality.
Besides that,
Juan is great. If you come here, if you need any help, talk to Juan.
Juan is friendly and likes to help people."
"The Hotel Reception Staff were Excellent very kind with smiles & helpful too. The room was as expected Large Double comfortable Bed We also liked the security aspect as the room had retractable shutters leading to our Balcony at the touch of a button Terrific. The Position of this Hotel was right in front of the Beach brilliant view. The Breakfast food was Excellent with plenty of choice .We would defo go back there again."
