beaach great just across road most gripes from people who where all inclusive found self catering better option as you could come and go as you please also trips great we went to aqua park, tivoli world day trip to gibralta remember passport needed will be bak next year

Bad down side is the food main courses was not not eaten once by me and my partner ! who instead went for the option of pasta fried fish, chips or pizza everyday for the duration of ten days! even though i could get chips back in London.Safe bet is salad desserts, fruit.Pool side bar wasn't any better only chicken kebabs are pre cooked and the fryed on a grill for less than 3 mins same with burgers and hotdogs nothings fresh!
Drinks are the only best thing large portions and the frozens pizza you can order.Rooms are great size and view also room kept clean at all times.but would never return to hotel but loved costa del sol!!

This hotel has strong good and bad points.
The good; it's clean and our room was cleaned everyday. The staff are polite and happy (except Maria at the pool bar, very rude.) The pool is nice, and the poolside snackbar is handy between all inc meals. The proximity to the beach is fantastic. The alcoholic drinks are all brands like San Miguel and Malibu, and they're not shy on their measures! It's also 10 mintues walk from the train station which can take you to neighbouring resorts or Malaga airport. Or it's only 10 min drive from the airport.
The bad; I was in the toilets next to the guy serving food at the snackbar, and after doing his business he didn't wash his hands and went back to serving food.
The food in the food hall is mostly of terrible quality. There is a large variety but they just can't get the simple things right; orange juice full of sugar, cereal that was stale, chicken that couldn't have been chicken, beans that were odd tasting and cold. The bread, soup, hams and water melons were the safest bets.
Most of our fellow holidaygoers seemed to be miserable and wouldn't exchange a single sentence over dinner, but that's not the hotel's fault.
It's about a half hour walk to the resort centre but there's a sprinkling of bars about 10 mins walk away, or a bus stop outside the hotel.
On our last day we stored our luggage in the locked luggage room, but this room doubled up as the tv room where guests were sitting around watching movies right next to our left luggage! Perfect opportunity to steal. They also said we could use the shower room which turned out to be a random room at the hotel. It was a disgusting run down room with used tissues and towels lying around, and a manky shower. It gave my missus the creeps.
I usually don't complain about things and keep it bottled up, but despite being a large and mostly well run hotel, it has some key areas it needs to improve on.

this hotel was the best
i think that who ever went to this hotel and complained was a at another hotel.
the food was excellent and you had a wide range of it
the rooms were always being cleaned
the staff were friendly
the pool was always clean
i rate this hote as a 10/10
IT WAS THE BEST

We booked this holiday in the hope that spain's underrated hotels would catch us lucky. We were wrong. The food was abismal, the people were antisimpatico, and my mum fell down the stairs. i also couldnt get out the bath and found myself very wrinkly without the rail. I hope this review has helped anyone in doubt and i would like to see this hotel demolished, or improved. Boom boom, shake the hotel.

Ok for the price we paid. I would recomend going self catering, as the food was terrible!
I am 20 years old and i went with my boyfriend.
We paid for half board but ended up eating out most nights, and i had an orange for breakfast most days!There is plenty of restuarants to choose from, all of which serve excellent food.if you start to get home sick, visit the Tudor Rose, which serves excellent english grub!
There are some lovely irish and english bars.Molleys is a fantastic night out and about a 5 min. walk from the hotel.
The pool area is nice, but as with everywhere you have to get up at 6.30 to reserve a lounger.
Rooms, nice.Good size clean.The one thing i will say is the maid was a bit rude! She came in the afternoon whilst i was having a kip and shunned me out of the bed!
Entertainment is all for children, but for them is it good.Not much for adults,but the area around the hotel has loads to offer anyway.
I would go there again, but would definatly be self catering.

Lovely area, good room, food ok, do not go at this time of year full of ignorant Spanish holidaymakers, all inclusive finishes 31st Oct, limited service after this date, not foretold that this happens.

Just returned from this hotel after having a fab time with my 3 friends (all in our 40's). The hotel was great value for money. The food was excellent, always a good choice. The rooms were a good size and were clean and comfortable as was the rest of the hotel.
The location was excellent position in a quiet part of town on the beach. The town centre is up hill and about 1km away however there is a bus which stops outside the hotel which will take you there or a taxi costs just 7€.
Entertainment as with most of these hotels was a hit and a miss but if you have an open mind and free drinks you just make the most of it. I would be happy to return to this hotel.

Just got back from 2 great weeks at The Puente Real. Nice hotel, only downside was the food.
It was very basic in choice dining room was very busy at times, but it did not spoil our holiday. Rooms are nice and big and cleaned daily. Pool area and outside bar good with BBQ all very nice.
Staff friendly, entertainment average. Would we go back? Yes at the right price. You get what you pay for but all in all nice hotel.
