Whilst we had a very nice holiday here we were disappointed to find that there was no communal bar/lounge area nor a permanently established indoor restaurant (the indoor part was the breakfast room; the dining restaurant was entirely outdoor either in gardens or by the pool with no option to dine inside). On the one cool and cloudy day - too chilly to be outside - there was nowhere warm and communal to lounge around or get drinks. You had to be either outside by the pool or in your room. Although described as a "hotel" it doesn't seem to offer the full suite of services I would typically expect because it lacks that communal area.
Secondly, we were visiting end of season about 3 weeks prior to seasonal close and they seemed to be getting low in stock of our chosen wines at dinner eg we were selecting the last bottle or the wine was no longer available.
However, the staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The pool is lovely - as a keen swimmer I enjoyed doing daily laps because it offers a good length of at least c. 25m in the longest stretch. The gym has good cardio equipment although it was annoying to find there was no water available to gym users.
Regarding location: it is a short 10 min taxi ride outside of Estepon. Taxis could be called very quickly. Nearest grocery store is almost literally across the road but on foot is via a circuitous walk in order to cross a very busy dual carriageway.
