The hotel has 189 spacious rooms that cover the basics well for a golf week. Expect a full bathroom, air conditioning and heating, satellite TV, a safe, hairdryer, telephone, a small fridge, free Wi-Fi and, importantly, a generous balcony. If you're travelling with clubs and the usual golf-week luggage, the rooms have the space to feel comfortable rather than cramped. The balconies are a nice touch, particularly if you're looking out towards the sea or pool, and they give you somewhere to sit with a beer after 18 holes without having to head straight back down to the bar.
The social heart of the hotel is the lounge bar in the main public area. It opens out to a terrace overlooking the pool, and it's an easy place to regroup after a round, compare scorecards and settle in for a drink. There's also a dance floor and stage, so you can expect evening entertainment on some nights, which suits groups who want atmosphere without having to head out every evening. If you're the sort who likes a bit of live music or a quiz night after dinner, it's all there without any fuss.
Food is buffet-style, with sea views and show cooking, so you can keep it simple after a round. The main benefit here is convenience: you can eat when you're hungry, keep things casual and get back to the terrace. The variety is good, covering national and international dishes, and the setting, with views over the water, makes it a pleasant place to eat rather than just functional.
When you're in full "holiday mode", the pool bar by the upper pool is on hand for drinks, snacks and quick bites, so you don't have to keep trekking back inside. It's the sort of setup that lets you stay put by the pool for a few hours without feeling like you're missing out on anything.
Overall, it's a comfortable, no-drama base geared towards golfers who want good facilities, a sociable set-up and an easy rhythm: play, relax, eat, repeat. The hotel isn't trying to be something it's not, and that's often exactly what you want from a Costa del Sol golf base. You can come back from a round, grab a drink by the pool, have a decent meal and still have the option to head out into Fuengirola if you want more variety. The facilities are solid, the location is practical and the overall feel is relaxed and welcoming, which ticks the boxes for most golf groups looking to keep things straightforward.
