Overall pleasent stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/9/05
Stayed in Puerto Banus (10 minutes by car from Marbella) at the Andalucia Plaza for a week with wife and 2 kids during July 05. The hotel is very clean, looks attractive from the outside and is spacious from the inside. The rooms are comfortable and as expected... nothing overly luxurious.
Most rooms have small balconies and will have street views, others will be overlooking the pool... only a few to the south side would be facing the sea.. from a distance.
Pool is decent, with some greenery around it. The main restaurant has a terrace overlooking the pool, kind of a nice place for breakfast.
The hotel is not immediately on the beach, but rather a 10 minute walk away... an additional 5 minutes would take you to the Marina or the center of Puerto Banus where lots of shops, restaurants and other entertainment are available.
The Gym and other entertainment / game room facility are very modest.
With regards to food, only had breakfast at the hotel, a rich open buffet is provided in addition to a variety of fresh juices... in addition to made to order omlettes and pan cakes.
Easy parking around the hotel.
While the hotel overlooks the highway, once you close the windows you do not suffer from any unwanted noise.
In summary, a pleasent stay... while I would rather be staying at a hotel nearer to the beach, I would not mind being at the Andalucia Plaza on a future visit.
