We booked this hotel at short notice, very good price, bed & breakfast only. On arrival the entrance seems quite plain but inside it is lovely, elegant & very clean. Walk through the lobby, piano bar & into beautifully maintained gardens & swimming pool overlooking a stunning beach, security card access to beach promenade & walks to many restaurants, Benalmadena...

I have to say that this is not the sort of hotel I normally stay at, but I was there for work. The hotel is located right next to the beach and has a pool and excellent access to lots of restaurants. I would suggest getting a room on the west side if possible. We were in a room on... More

I loved the location because it had very easy access to the boardwalk, which is really concrete not wood. The boardwalk was touristry, but at the time we were enjoying this type of activity. We were with a group so our meals were included. But I would not advise eating there, unless you check out the price first. Also, they... More

Sayed in Amaragua for 3 weeks in januari. The good things: very clean hotel, good breakfast, indoor en outdoor swimming pool, sauna and steambath for free, and free wifi in the rooms. Now the minor things: canned vegetables, no animation, only a piano-bar in the evening.

Stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in December 26/12 to 30/12 as a treat for Christmas as we notmally stay at Barraccuda this time of year and El Tiburon in summer. The hotel is fabulous in the main reception, rooms, bar, public rooms, indoor pool etc but the food is terrible and not what you would expect from a... More

The grounds outside the hotel and the lobby area are beautifully maintained. Unfortunately, the weather was too cool for us to take advantage of the outdoor swimming pools but... More

Stayed at the Amaragua for a week in November with my husband. As a regular visitor to this area we were happy to stay in this beachfront property right next toLa Carihuela. We were allocated aroom in the main buiding it was a bit dated with a very small balcony with table and 2 chairs but view dissappointing not great... More

Everyone's expectations are different. A bedroom is a bedroom, but the difference between a 2 star and 4 star should be obvious. The Amaragua definately has 2 star bedrooms. Firstly if you think, as I did, you are going to get any of the rooms shown on websites, forget it. There excuse is that the modern part of the hotel... More

I organised accommodation on a half-board basis for 56 set dancers from Ireland and Belgium at the end of February 2012. The location, close to Malaga airport and on the seafront, was breathtaking. The accommodation, meals, level of service and attention to our specific requirements were superb. Well done to Pablo and his team - we are already looking forward... More
