Lovely place
Reviewed By Goldencouple66We visited Playa Granada for 22 days, it was a very nice stay at this hotel. Most important were the adjustments made for people with a disability, wheelchair friendly with access to all parts of the resort including the room a large bathroom with toilet with armrests. Special thanks to the lady of guest relation, Maribel. Most adorable and helpful in any way! Food is good, with variety. Maybe onely minus is just the one poolbar, can get busy and you have to wait in line for a drink. All inclusive concept is good! Not much to do around if you dont have car. Overall a lovely place to stay, most friendly staff!

Granada's Costa Tropical is characterised by having a warm climate all year round, abundant natural resources, kind, friendly locals and excellent connections with the rest of Andalusia and the Peninsula.
Would return; nice relaxing break
Reviewed By JoannedriverSolo trip for 5 nights. Large hotel with simple but comfy quiet room (high floor - maybe noisier lower down). Maid service daily. Buffet food very nice with adequate choices and freshly cooked. Nice outdoor terrace bar and indoor evening entertainment. Staff friendly and highlight is the outdoor infinity pool which is huge and gorgeous with lovely view. Also a separate lazy river and slides for the kids. The shop is not nearby so advise getting anything needed before arriving or pay 10 euro round trip in local taxi. It is walkable but up and down vertical hills.

Lovely boutique hotel on the beach of a cool resort town.
Reviewed By KarenElaineandJohnSuper boutique hotel on the shore front of a laid back resort town. Nice touches like the complementary water, juice and wine add those finishing touches. Helpful staff, comfy bed and, in our case, a great balcony to watch the worlds pass by or better still, the sun go down .

Excellent Hotel, Staff and Sea Front Location
Reviewed By anthony2015776We have just returned from a three night stay at this hotel. We loved everything about the hotel. The Moorish deco and design of the hotel are the same as on their website. The staff and service were excellent and the rooms were immaculate and clean. We felt very welcomed by the staff at this hotel and cared for - a sense we were personally looked after. And by the way, the food and restaurant was superb. A special visit and we shall return!
5. Best Alcazar
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 2073 reviews
El Hotel Best Alcazar se encuentra situado en el alto de la Urbanizacion Punta de la Mona con el puerto deportivo Punta de la Mona, antiguamente denominado Marina del Este. A unos 1.500m al oeste descendiendo la colina encontraran la localidad de La Herradura en una bahia que cuenta con una unica playa y que es la ultima zona urbana costera de la provincia de Granada hacia el poniente, limitando con la localidad de Maro, pedania de Nerja. La Herradura es el unico nucleo urbano costero granadino que mantiene una pequena zona de vegetacion y fauna virgen comprendida entre Cerro Gordo y Maro y que fue declarada Paraje Natural en los anos 80, tanto la superficie como el fondo marino, el cual conserva corales y especies en peligro de extincion. Son conocidos los centros de buceo de La Herradura, unos de los mas prestigiosos del sur peninsular. Al este y aproximadamente a unos 4 km encontraran el municipio de Almunecar, cuyo casco urbano esta asentado al final de los valles de los rios Seco (al oeste) y Verde (al este), los cuales estan repletos de campos de cultivo de frutas tropicales. Destacan en el paisaje los Penones de San Cristobal, asi como las cumbres de la Sierra de la Almijara. Al este encontraran las playas de Marina del Este, Los Berengueles y la naturista playa El Muerto lindando con el barranco de Cotobro. Al oeste estan las de La Herradura y Cerro Gordo, ademas de la naturista de Cantarrijan, lindando con la provincia de Malaga.
¿Hotel de 4 Estrellas? // 4 stars? I don’t think so
Reviewed By RagonescoTodas mis opiniones están basadas de mi propia experiencia. Cuando llegamos nos damos cuenta que el hotel está en una colina a 300 metros de la playa según ellos pero hay una carretera con curvas aunque hay servicio de traslado del hotel hay un horario de los buses. La plaza de garaje es de pago 10€ al día ya que es complicado aparcar en la calle al menos en temporada alta. La plaza tenía una gotera y pedimos que nos la cambiaran, al no tener nos ofrecieron una plaza de los empleados muy amplia por un día a la espera de que algún cliente dejara alguna plaza. En ese se todo estuvieron muy atentos. La habitación estaba en un edificio retirado, eso no me gustó y la habitación daba a un patio de empleados donde salían hablar y no era muy cómodo. Las de la limpieza no era muy atentas, un día no nos cambiaron las toallas, otro día no repusieron papel higiénico y el último día nos quitaron las toallas mientras desayunábamos y tuve que ir a buscarlas para que me dieran unas para ducharme antes de salir. La primera noche no tenía pilas el mando y al pedir que me subieran unas no querían y tuve que insistir. Tenía media pensión y era tipo buffet. Hay un servicio donde ellos te sientan y me parece bien, para que la gente no esté buscando y dando vueltas. En seguida te limpian y te quitan los platos sucios tanto que en dos ocasiones nos habían quitado hasta la bebida que era de pago dejando la mesa lista para otro cliente. La comida es bastante mala, insisto, es penosa y no hay variedad. Hay 5 islas donde una es de fruta y postres (fruta piña, melón y sandía y melocotón en almíbar) alguna vez había algo más como plátanos… y varios dulces, en realidad eran dos o tres postres adornados de varias formas. Otras dos isla era de ensaladas y las otras dos de variedades como carne y patatas y algún pescado dudoso. Tambien hay servicio de carne y pescado preparado al momento. En el desayuno lo mismo, apenas hay variedad y servicio de tortitas y huevos al momento. No me gustó nada que sobre las 10 o antes ya no reponían, si no hay algo te quedas sin el, y hasta recogían habiendo clientes en el salón. Eso es un hotel de 4 Estrellas. Hay dos piscinas donde una hace una pequeña cascada sobre la otra y una tercera más pequeña que en invierno es climatizada. Hay servicio de spa unos 38€ por 1 hora. Cancha de tenis, Ping pong, billar etc, tambien hay una salon con bar junto a las piscinas. English: All my opinions are based on my own experience. When we arrive we realize that the hotel is on a hill 300 meters from the beach according to them but there is a curvy road although there is a transfer service from the hotel there is a bus schedule. The parking space is charged € 10 per day since it is difficult to park on the street at least in high season. The square had a leak and we asked to change it, since they did not offer us a very wide employee position for one day, waiting for a client to leave a place. In that they were all very attentive. The room was in a secluded building, I did not like that and the room overlooked a courtyard where employees used to talk and it was not very comfortable. The cleaners were not very attentive, one day they did not change our towels, another day they did not replace toilet paper and on the last day they took our towels away while we had breakfast and I had to go find them so they could give me some to shower before leaving. The first night the remote had no batteries and when I asked for some to be uploaded, they didn't want to and I had to insist. I had half board and it was buffet style. There is a service where they make you feel good and it seems good to me, so that people are not looking and going around. Immediately they clean you and they take away your dirty dishes so much that on two occasions they had taken even the drink that was paid, leaving the table ready for another client. The food is quite bad, I insist, it is painful and there is no variety. There are 5 islands where one is for fruit and desserts (pineapple fruit, melon and watermelon and peach in syrup) once there was something more like bananas ... and several sweets, in fact there were two or three desserts decorated in various ways. Two other islands were for salads and the other two for varieties such as meat and potatoes and some questionable fish. There is also meat and fish service prepared at the moment. At breakfast the same, there is hardly a variety and service of pancakes and eggs at the moment. I did not like anything that around 10 o'clock or before they no longer replenished, if there is not something you run out of it, and they even picked up having customers in the room. That is a 4 star hotel. There are two pools where one makes a small waterfall over the other and a third smaller than in winter is heated. There is a spa service about € 38 for 1 hour. Tennis court, Ping pong, billiards etc, there is also a lounge with a bar next to the pools.

Five Nights in Almunecar
Reviewed By mcgill73I've been coming to Almunecar for nearly 20 years as my parents used to own an apartment in the area. I can remember when this hotel was being built, and when it was the Playa Cotobro Hotel always thought it would be a good place to stay. Fast forward a few years and with COVID (hopefully) on the way out, my partner and I decided to spend five nights here at the end of May 2022. We flew into Granada Airport, and an hour's drive later we were at the hotel. Since being rebranded as the ON Aleta the hotel has been extensively refurbished, and has a contemporary feel, with lots of Chinese/Thai-style furniture. We arrived at around 10pm and were checked into our room within 5 minutes- we had originally booked a non-sea facing room but were pleased to be upgraded to a room on the side of the building that gave a view of the beach. The room was well decorated and spacious. It had a large double bed, extensive wardrobe space and a minibar with complimentary drinks refreshed daily. Unfortunately it does not offer tea & coffee making facilities, which for some reason is very common in hotels in Spain. There was also a balcony with two chairs, and this gave a good view of the beach across the road from the hotel. The bathroom was also of a good size and was clean and modern. Good quality shampoo, shower gel and body lotion were provided, and the shower was one of the best we have used in a hotel. Complimentary beach towels were provided, and these proved very useful. The room had a good sized TV, but only Spanish language channels were offered, which did surprise us given the international nature of the other guests we saw in the hotel. We had breakfast each morning and were impressed with the range and quality on offer. There was a good choice of cold and hot buffet options available, and a chef was on duty to make omelettes, pancakes and other items. Breakfast could be eaten inside or outside on the terrace, though this area does not get much sun in the mornings. Prior to its refurbishment the terrace area contained a swimming pool, and we were slightly disappointed this was no longer there. However there is a smaller pool available on the roof terrace on 5th floor, together with a sun loungers and parasols. The terrace has great views over Cotobro beach, though during our stay it was quite windy so not practical to spend too much time there- however you can imagine it would be a great sun trap in the height of summer. The hotel is a 20-minute walk into Almunecar, where tere are a good range of shops, bars and restaurants available. There is a also a bus stop outside with regular services into the town centre. We hired a car for our stay and there is a car park located under the hotel, though we used the widely available on street parking nearby. We enjoyed our time ON Aleta and would recommend it as a relaxed place to stay when visiting Almunecar.

Hotel in Almuñecar, Costa Tropical, Granada. Family hotel close to the beach. The Hotel Suites Albayzin del Mar in Almuñécar finds itself absorbed in the gardens of the Isla del Ocio declared as a “tourist interest site” with the dream made forms and structures influenced from the Arabic-Andalusian culture. Caribbean huts and cabins between ledges, lattice-windows, domes and a square fountain complex.
Unfriendly waitress, rubbish breakfast
Reviewed By richardX3428SWWe were 2 families of 4, paying 440 euros per night for 2 nights. Having checked in we thought we would eat at the hotel. The restaurant was empty but were told firmly that it was fully booked for dinner. We ordered cocktails and soft drinks, and before we were half way throigh them were approached by the snotty waitress and asked simply ‘cash or card?’. In other words, they wanted us to pay and leave. We were all in a bit of shock. The breakfast was really low quality, especially the dishwater coffee from a 1980’s coffee machine. The only good thing about the place is the pool. Wont be going back!

Lovely boutique hotel
Reviewed By Jrosebu25We booked this hotel for ourselves and our wedding guests and we had the best stay! The staff; Diana and the team, the two guys whose names I can't remember (sorry!) were sooo kind and helpful and always friendly... they were always smiling and nothing was too much trouble. We loved the hotel and the location was perfect, so close to the beach and restaurants! We hosted some drinks and tapas on the rooftop of the hotel, which was stunning! The views were great - the sunset drinks and food was delicious! Highly recommend! We staying in a sea view room with a terrace, which was great. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

Reviewed By Amparo AWe only stay in one of the apartments, it was very clean and the staff very friendly but the apartment was for four people and was only coffee for two, no sugar , the bedding was clean but needed an update same for the pillows, our room was overlooking a petrol satiation and was noisy. The room needed a blackout curtains , we couldn’t sleep us was a lot of light in the room and very noisy, the parking was free, in general good value for money ?

Loved it: ideal small, discreetly stylish hotel
Reviewed By RoadboyAs much a restaurant with rooms as a hotel - just four spacious rooms on each of two floors, above and below the bar / restaurant level. We were lucky to be at the top (although unlucky to hit cool, damp weather), with a large terrace with wonderful view of the castle (floodlit at night), some small-scale farming, and the coast. A spacious, comfortable room, although needing a little attention so some wear and tear. Dinner, on a good-value half-pension package, was excellent, with a lively atmosphere in the restaurant with its open-plan kitchen. Good breakfast too, with exceptionally friendly service. 20 minutes walk down to the beach strip of Salobrena, and no noise nuisance from the main road at the back of the hotel.
