I went into my stay at Olive & Ivy with high expectations, having read so many glowing reviews beforehand. Happy to say: not only were those expectations met, they were completely surpassed.
This little hotel is a gem. The attention to detail everywhere – from the decor to the little thoughtful touches in the room – is absolutely amazing. You can feel the love and care that’s been poured into every corner.

Central hotel close to all central amenities and sights. This is my fourth time staying here and would fully recommend staying here. The room, staff and experience is very comfortable and professional. Top tip, the local train service provides a quick and cheap service to both the airport and Torrimonlious.

We stayed for 6 nights in April and it was our second visit in 4 years. We returned as we found the apartment complex nice and quiet , very clean and well maintained with all the facilities required for self catering. It is located right opposite Paloma Park which is a lovely place to take a stroll with lovely gardens and views. The beach is five minutes walk away and there is a bus stop right outside the entrance to the apartments with frequent buses to Mijas which cost just 1.65 euros each...

Super convenient to Malaga airport with a great room - bed, shower, toiletries all top quality and proved just want I needed to rest-up after a long, stressful journey. There’s a super nice little restaurant on site with friendly attentive staff and freshly prepared food. The reception team were exceptionally good when I needed help with sorting out new travel documents due to a missed flight. If you find yourself delayed or need somewhere to stay near the airport to rest-up while travelling,...

Physically attractive resort with a club-like atmosphere, partly because most stayers have permanent membership of the resort so are repeat visitors.
Staff were charming and helped with small requests.
These are real apartments with separate bedrooms and kitchens, not like a hotel.
Location is excellent; close walking distance to beach, many good restaurants, and short taxi ride to the Marina and its Aquarium, and Benalmadena town centre with its cablecar and Tivoli park, so an ideal...
