Ideally placed hotel in the centre of playas, good food, friendly staff,free wi fi ,very comfortable sitting areas and piano bar.Pool is cold at this time of year but nice to swim in with a waterfall at one end.Can't comment on the availability of sun beds as we always go to the beach. incidentally ,if you like a nice beach and or sea swimming it's a pleasant 15 minutes walk to the beach with the fountain adjacent to Christianos.We have just returned from our third stay in this hotel which we really enjoyed and will certainly be going again.We've always gone all inclusive and on its current pricing the Best is very good value indeed.We particularly like the 'atmosphere and the relaxed feel .Have stayed in a couple of other Hotels in central playas and visited the rest and whilst they are all of a good standard one or two tend to be priced rather highly .As things stand at the moment we will be favouring the Best for some time to come.

Preface to comments .Stayed 24 Jan to 8th Feb 2012
There seems to be a Sickness and Diarrhea bug on the island at present 60% of the people we met (15) had had it.With us it lasted 24 hrs.We have friends living on the main land Malaga and they have had it, so take something with you .Be prepared.
The hotel staff are great & helpful ,no trouble with sun beds,Wine recommended by waiter, good and not expensive.Pool area good with warmed area.Rooms cleaned well daily. Enough choice of food to suit most people.
