Great property! Location, room, pool, breakfast, front desk, all were excellent. The only minor complaint is the line for breakfast after about 8am. There are always empty tables, it could be organized better, then the hotel would be perfect!

Great location and this Hilton’s was lovely, although the room was a tad dated, much like other Hilton’s we’ve stayed in round the world. Staff were very helpful. Only one disappointment is that this hotel was consistent in the fact that the AC was terrible. Again, the same as other Hiltons we have stayed in. Malaga, Spain being a prime example.
