We were invited to a birthday party at a relatives house in Competa. Most of the attending guests stayed at this Hotel and we rented one of the bungalows which was clean, comfortable and adequate for our needs. It was close to the pool and we had our own balcony with a splendid view. The only downside were the steps... more

What a find! A friend and I were invited to a wedding at this hotel so decided to book in for three nights. We had such a wonderful time and came away feeling relaxed and totally cared for by the lovely family that run this hotel. The room was spotlessly clean (a must in my book), view from the balcony... more

A lovely grown-up hotel with no pretensions to being a boutique hotel. We used this as a walking base in the region and it was perfect as a place to come back to. There are beautiful views from the balcony and the rooms are large and restful. The restaurant was a little hit and miss, better for a light lunch... more

The village is a typical whitwashed andalucian village that is large enough to wander and have some interesting look around, a few bars and restaurants and some interesting shops. Far from the chaos of the coast, but near enough for day trips to Nerja, Torre Del Mar and other pretty villages. The hotel is independent, friendly and does its job... more

A delightful hotel in a picturesque mountain village. The staff could not have been more helpful and the room was good sized, nicely appointed and had a balcony overlooking the superb outdoor pool. We only stayed one night and can highly recommend this hotel and area, checkout the Cortyo Paco for dinner and Los Cabollas de Mosquin for horse riding... more

Stayed for 5 nights B&B - much too long. Rooms were clean and staff were friendly. Very limited choice for continental breakfast only, they don't seem to cater for people staying more than a couple of nights. Restaurant is never open, meals are taken in Bar/Cafeteria which is open to general public. Choice of Dinner if required very limited and... more

We loved this Hotel, it has a really friendly atmosphere, it's clean, got a great pool and pool area, fantastic wines by the glass, really good well priced tasty food and the staff are 2nd to none, I have payed much more to stay in 5* Hotels and not met staff as cheerful and competent as the staff here. We... more

This is the 5th time I've stayed at the Balcon. The staff is WONDERFUL! Anything you need, they will steer you in the right direction. You'll see some of the employees as you happen around the village and they are just as glad to see you as when you're in the hotel. Spotlessly clean, good restaurant,friendly bar.The ammenities are beautiful... more

Very enjoyable 2 night stay. Traditional type of Spanish hotel. Friendly helpful staff - sorted a minor problem with the heating quickly. Staff speak English but were happy to listen to my attempts at Spanish. Didn't use the pool as it was Nov but it looked lovely. Would certainly stay again. more
