Thank you for your feedback. Almost all of our amenities are open, except for the Bthai Restaurant, which will open during the high season. But the Bonita Beach Restaurant and also our great rooftop Bar Nix are already available.We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back soon for a complete experience.

Great hotel with fantastic views
This is our second visit. The staff are excellent and the room was very comfortable with everything we needed. The staff responded quickly to any request we made. We opted for half board and the food was very good with plenty of variety to choose from. The main swimming pool was closed at this time so we tended to stay around the bar area by the smaller pool. Both the sea and the swimming pool were very cold but it was still possible to have a quick dip.

The property is absolutely astonishing. Being right on the water with the mountains behind us was a dream come true. The staff provided top notch customer service and I never encountered anyone who was unwilling to help or offer tourist tips! The food in the all-inclusive buffet was way above expectations and we very much appreciated that the menu rotated daily. We had a small issue with the air conditioning after checking in, and it was resolved the same morning. The hotel and surrounding area is so clean it’s shocking. The only disappointing aspects we faced was that the fitness/sauna rooms were closed on our last day; we only had one dining option even though we paid for all-inclusive and expected both restaurants to be open; the hot tubs on the rooftop were colder than the pools; and the big pool was closed one day which severely limited space to lay out as chairs on the beach had to be purchased. All in all, we will definitely come back, hopefully when everything is fully functioning! Thank you to the staff and everyone who played a part in making this trip unforgettable!

Can’t rate this hotel high enough, we went as a group of 12 family and friends and from start to finish the hotel exceeded every thing from sorting 1 of our group that needed gluten free to the room for 1 room for a 92 gentleman who needed a walk in shower and near to the lifts This was all sorted before we arrived, once we arrived at downtown Nero time we always had a group table for 12 and the food was always excellent The staff can’t do enough for you in the hotel from the bar staff at the pool to the service in the restaurants to the staff at the nex rooftop cocktail bar We all will be going back even though you are a fair way from benamadena you have everything you need at the hotel as we were on the all inclusive deal

Great place for a short group break!
A group of 7 guys staying for 3 nights Sep 2023. Having read mixed reviews I went with an open mind. This is a great hotel, we were placed on the top floor in rooms next to each other, the views were fantastic, a bottle of bubbles to welcome us, and the room was modern, spacious, clean. The beds and pillows were really comfy. The beach and pool areas were great. And the service at the beach bar was fun and friendly with a great selection of beers, wine, spirits and cocktails and snacks included in our All Inclusive package. The other bars at the hotel were also nice areas to hang out. The buffet restaurant provided a great breakfast range, including made to order omelettes. The only downside was the coffee! We only ate once at the hotel buffet in the evenings, as we wanted to get out and about and enjoy local restaurants too, the buffet was fine. Big thanks to all the staff across the whole hotel from reception, cleaning team, catering and bar.

* Great beachside location. * All rooms with full sea view, rather than the usual only if you crick your neck at an awkward angle. * Fab rooftop solarium with hot tubs. * No shortage of sunbeds so no daily race to bag yours. * Very helpful staff. * We went the full inclusive option and found the food choice both plentiful and variable All round great venue for a break.

The location and all rooms facing the sea is a great plus. Elevator use might’ve been more efficient and the buffet food selection could’ve been better. The a la cart restaurant was not open for dinner, so it is beneficial to have a car and dine around. Parking is readily available on the property
