Melia Granada Hotel
This hotel is in a fantastic location and has the bones and decor to create a wonderful experience. Sadly, the cold and stiff staff at reception brought the experience down quite a bit. The receptionist did the bare minimum and was generally uninterested in helping us when we asked about local sites ...

Hotel Anacapri
Location was super close to Alhambra. Breakfast was as expected and delicious. Only complaint is walls are thin and neighbours kept us up all night.
