Value for money stop over.

A very basic clean hotel. We use it as a stop over so that we can spend a few days in La Cala before we start our holiday proper. Staff are brilliant. The small cafe at the front is typically Spanish full of locals and good value nice food. Outlook from street facing rooms does leave a lot to be desired. Easy access to all amenities.

This hotel is right on the coastal road between Malaga and Marbella. It is, however, quiet. Being in La Cala de Mijas it has loads of restaurants within a few minutes walk, and is a 5 minute walk to the very nice seafront.

The hotel is small & sits on the edge of La Cala, so everything is very accessible. The staff make this hotel too, they were so friendly. The hotel is very clean. I would say, it’s a very good place to stay as a base. We would definitely go back. Thank you for a lovely time.
