Hotel Salobreña Suites

Location of the hotel is mid way between salobreña and Almuñécar both towns are too far away to walk and the road is very busy . In first impressions the hotel looked and felt very clean , my room had a lovely sea view , the bar and pool area were very nice , tidy and quiet . The breakfast was very good and had almost everything you would want for breakfast.

Don't waste your money here! We booked thier best suite, water for the jacuzzi tub was tepid at best, the mechanism that emptied the tub was broken so we had to leave it full, shower water was equally unpleasant in temperature. The bathroom smelt so bad with a sewage aroma it woke us in the early hours and we had to open the bathroom window and our patio doors to rid the room of the awful stench. The reception staff did not seem surprised when we shared our concerns and offered nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders and a weak apology,we left early feeling dissapointed and nauseous from breathing in the sewage fumes from the bathroom.

The location of this hotel is amazing, overlooking the beautifully lighted fort of Salobrena on one side and the coast of Nerja on the other... however suite 201 wich we were in, and it is a nice very roomy suite, has the strangest separate toilet where your knees hit the door when you close the door!! Candela at the reception, who was most helpful and very nice, tried to give us room 103 which overlooked the top of the roof of the building, and another room in the tower, which had a bed that was not big enough for a mother daughter to sleep in comfortably. So we opted with the first choice. Once in the room we tried to turn on the heating as it was a cold and windy day and it was 18 degrees and damp inside the room, but we were told that they don't turn on the heating till later that night. But again, Candela told us that others had also complained and that the hotel would turn on the heating... ours was not working properly, but was fixed quick enough so we were able to take our showers and get dressed comfortably. They serve a good breakfast and the people serving are very nice. With its amazing location, vast areas with huge terraces overlooking the sea, the size of their rooms, this could become a fabulous 5 star resort.

Chain saw being used at 8.30 am in the morning. No English channel on the TV.

It was a very nice resort with gorgeous views of the sunset and sunrise. It caters to tour busses, so the meals are buffet style. We ate dinner, which was good for a buffet. It's is up on a cliff from the beach, so there's no easy beach access and it's a10 min drive from the town. Parts of the property and surroundings are falling into disrepair, but the parts where guests are staying are nice and clean.
