This hotel definitely a 4 star, offered a great value; we took the half board over the Christmas vacation for convienence. Also our three daughers are picky eaters so the buffet offered a variey of foods. The hotel is in a town that is only 1 hr by car to Granada, the Alhambra, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and Malaga( a town that should not be missed). We prefered staying here instead of Granada which you only need one long day to see. We only had 5 days but got in the car each day and due to the great highway system it was a piece of cake getting around. Almunecar has a paved walk way that hugs the sea. You must take it in both directions; one will take you into town from there you can walk up to OLD ALMUNECAR. A must do, there you wil fnd tight streets with typical housing. There is a cute craft section near a public park where local artisians sell their wares.
