I stayed here for a week in August with my family (partner and 2 children, 10 and 13).

A 20-minute drive from the airport, it's positioned a little way out of the city but taking a taxi into the city centre is not more 6 euros.

The hotel is modern-looking and spotlessly clean. The hotel didn't feel like it was fully occupied maybe that contributed to the slightly impersonal 'shopping mall' vibe though this is a small minus point.

The buffet breakfasts are good but I would have liked to see Bucks Fizz on the buffet menu (hey I am on holiday!). We had a lunch at the bar/cafe a couple of times and they were tasty enough. We didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening. Think the bar closes quite early around midnight.

Bedrooms are an OK size, the beds are fantastically comfortable and the cleaning ladies do a great job. The 2 English speaking channels on the tv are CNN and BBC World. Unusually there is no tourist information on Granada in the rooms.

Outside pool is medium-sized and, as pointed out by my kids, is in the shape of a pair of knickers. We spent lots of time poolside. In addition to the wooden loungers there were also double mattresses which were great for dozing on. They do have an indoor pool but this is part of the spa and so costs 15 euros a day to use. I didn't realise this when I booked.

There's a handy Lidl supermarket next door and a garage next to that should you need Maxibon ice-creams to eat by the pool.

Great!

I was reluctanant to stay in this hotel when i saw the photos of it (i thought it lacked charm) and read some of the reviews however we booked it because it had a pool and we were traveling to granada in august. we only paid e60 for the room on booking.com and it was the best value ever. the pool was beautiful and so was the hotel. the breakfast was plentiful (fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, croissants, pastries..etc), an extra e10 each, and the staff were most helpful. it is a bit out of town but taxis in are only e4 to the centre and theres also a regular local bus. this hotel allows you to have a combination of a sun holiday and a city break which suited us perfectly. the gym and spa areas looked great but i didn't use them. it was unbelievable value.
