Where to start? About $400/night in little Estepona, certainly not Marbella.
We arrived in room, no coffee maker, no water…ok, can live with that. But theft-proof fifty cent hangers?!? Painted shrubs? Ca. 1975 scratched-up furniture? No. Also, in fifty years of world travel, I’ve never seen a daily charge for the use of the room safe! Wife went on terrace to relax and closed door behind her and was LOCKED OUT! If she had no phone, she would have had to scream for help. Just imagine.
Hotel’s entry driveway choked with cars and we were trapped behind these selfish slobs for 20 minutes. Management response? “Family checking in - no problem, senor.” No bellman, no one controlling this parking disaster.
Food was just ok, buffet style, corporate cafe ambience. Ugggh. When we tried to eat in the separate table-served dining room, we were very, very rudely told “NO TABLES!” Same surly attitude from most of the staff. Tried to get a bucket of ice at the bar to chill a bottle wine: “NO BUCKET!” Only a plastic glass of ice at a time!
And though I love children, organized kids’ activities go on at all hours, even dinner, at ear-splitting volume.
An absolutely hopeless hotel not worth $200/night. Entire staff and management should be summarily fired and the hotel sold to someone who knows what they’re doing. Please! Meantime, pay whatever you have to but DON’T stay at this disaster
