This is a lovely area to explore if you have a car and within walking distance of Antequera. The golf course is a drive away but we are not golfers, the hotel has nice sized rooms and food was good as we were on half board. The only negative was the cost of the New Years Eve Gala Dinner which we assumed would be included as we had booked and paid for the week in advance and the leisure facilities which were extra and you only find out when you get there. Eventually we did pay what we considered to be a significant sum compared to what the hotel had cost for the week and had a super night spanish style. We were sat with English speaking people which made life easier and the New Year Dinner was an experience - not the best meal as they were catering for such a lot - but made up for by the atmosphere.

We stayed for a week at the begining of October. The hotel is located on the edge of a development on the edge of town. It may be me, but the website seems to give the impression that the hotel is on a golf course. This is not the case, the golf course is about 4 kilometers away. The hotel is airy and well presented. Our room overlooking the front of the hotel was a good size and comfortable. The food was average and the staff were unfriendly. They very rarely greeted anyone even if you spoke Spanish. I don't think we would stay there again.

We arrived at this hotel as part of a fly-drive package around Andalucia. It's a short drive from Malaga and is well based as a location for exploring this area. We had a spacious room facing onto the pool and felt very comfortable. We weren't aware of any noise from any people staying up late.

As befits a golf hotel there are a few golfers present, but don't let that put you off!

We stayed overnight one Saturday in December. Upon arrival, a very large wedding reception had gathered in reception which added to the ambiance.

PLUS POINTS - The rooms were acceptable and clean. Heating acceptable and most agreeable in the cool December evening. The reception was welcoming and the coffee bar excellent. The buffet evening meal was most affordable at approx 17 euro each - with much to choose from, very good quality and very filling - to be recommended. The inclusive breakfast was acceptable only, with a reasonable choice of hot and cold food. Only a few minutes drive to the golf course.

MINUS POINTS - A reasonable walk into town but too far for a return walk after an evening meal late at night. The main concern was that our room was directly at the front of the hotel overlooking a public car park and as the hotel has a discoteque which is frequented by what appeared to be 90% of the youth of Antequera we were kept awake until at least 5 am on the Sunday morning. The youths screeched into the car park at 'break-neck' speed whilst sporting the thump thump of local music at an unacceptable noise level. Furthermore, conversations were undertaken noisily with youths shouting at each other to make themselves heard above the noise of the music.

In a nutshell, ensure that your room is not located at the front of the hotel and you'll probably have an acceptable stay.
