отзыв review

Many complain that the hotel is not in the epicenter of tourist and party life, but if you know how to use the Internet, then it will not be difficult for you to find information about local attractions and how to get to them. My husband and I laid all the excursion routes ourselves, which, by the way, saved us a lot of money, plus we visited many interesting places that were not included in the excursion programs. The architecture of the hotel is such that absolutely all rooms have sea views. The beach is right under your nose. In September, the currents change, so the sea is very cold, the water in the pool too. But this absolutely does not prevent sunbathing (before lunch on the beach, then walk). There are very few Russians in the hotel, but there are more than enough noisy Spaniards who go there for the weekend with the whole family. During the week it is much quieter. WiFi at the reception is free. Do not leave food on the table (or even worse on the bed) in the room - ants will immediately come running. Nutrition. If you took breakfast-dinner, then it is possible to change dinner for lunch. No need to warn anyone about the replacement, just come when it's convenient for you. It is possible to buy "all inclusive" on the spot. At breakfast drinks are free, for lunch and dinner - for the money. I was pleasantly surprised by the constant presence of a dietary table (boiled or stewed vegetables, meat, cutlets, steamed and boiled fish). I think for people with stomach problems this is a huge plus. The rooms are not big, but quite comfortable. Huge closet space. 2 huge double beds. Safe, fan controlled from the room, air conditioning, hair dryer. Refrigerator will be included when you buy something in the bar through the reception. Upon arrival, we bought a couple of bottles of cola and then used a working refrigerator for the rest of our stay. The train station is ten minutes from the hotel. (The hotel is located in the center of the railway line, so the journey to the extreme points of this line will not take you more than half an hour) It is MANDATORY to ask the guide who picks you up from the airport how to buy a ticket, because there tickets are sold by machines in Spanish. (to get into the car you need to press the button on the door of the car))) 5 minutes from the body (went out, went left along the road, and on the right hand) there will be a Pepe Lopez store where you can buy bread, water, fruits, wine, etc. Just behind him, a little further there will be a station. Actually, here is the result of several hours of preparation on the Internet (we have a list of interesting places on hand, we buy a map in the nearest stall): Colomares castle (printed tour in Russian is issued at the entrance) 3rd day - Malaga. The Cathedral, the castillo de gibralfaro (an old castle-fortress), the Picasso Museum, Malaga's central park - these are the places where we managed to go. There are many interesting things in the city. Lots of cafes - you can dine without problems. On the way back to the station, we gladly got lost in the most beautiful pedestrian streets. 4th day - Fuengirola (Fenhirola). 2 fortresses - Suel and Swahil. On the way to one of them again wandered through the streets. Back to the station we returned along the beach, where there are many souvenir shops. Prices in them can vary greatly, it makes sense to look for where it is cheaper. All standard souvenirs can be bought here. 5th - the central part of Benalmadena - Benalmadena Park (chickens, rabbits, ducks, swans and other semi-tame living creatures live there), Marina Port (one of the most expensive places on the Costa del Sol both in terms of souvenirs and living space, many beautiful yachts) - take bread (in Pepe Lopez), you will feed the fish from the embankment6th - Torremolinos is a city that is one big shopping center. Here you can buy EVERYTHING. Starting from real Swiss watches and ending with handmade jewelry for a couple of euros. Here is exactly the whole flavor of the Spanish markets. 7th - and once again Torremolinos, only in the evening - because in the evening it is a city-holiday with performances of street artists. And definitely (!!!! ) you should visit the La Chacha cafe, especially if you are a seafood lover. Huge and fresh shrimps, crabs, squids, etc. will definitely please you. Just be careful - the last train from Torremolinos leaves at about ten in the evening, you have to take a taxi. Taxi drivers have a fixed fee, no one will charge you exorbitant prices, but you won’t be able to bargain with them either. And this is just what we managed to do, and there are still a lot of interesting places, and if you still rent a car…. ))))BUT! Here! Almost forgot! Siesta is not just some kind of custom, but a completely valid phenomenon. Be prepared that in the middle of the day, many cafes and shops can close for 3-4 hours.
