Excellent facility for kids to play and enjoy pool time. Busy as expected, lot food options but may rather find balance between quality and quantity. Staff accommodating but also busy. Pool floor quality slippery so maybe some warning for young kid and elderly may help prevent unfortunate falls. Overall excellent for pool, beach time and reasonable price.

The staff were all great, including waiting, cleaning and reception staff. Shame there’s no sun loungers at the beach, given it’s a beachside property. Towel system a bit annoying. Pools not being heated was an issue for October holiday but can imagine summer it’s ok. The one main issue we found was the allergy labelling on food was inconsistent and not clear at all. The staff were also not reassuring, telling us one thing had something in one night and then the next night not. Would be very worrying for serious allergies.

We loved our time at Iberostar Waves Málaga Playa. It was beautiful in every way. The beach only steps away from the pool. The grounds are gorgeous and the staff fun and helpful. The food was delicious with so many options. We had breakfast plan so we went to restaurants for dinner which was great being 10 minutes walk to many options.

Very well organised and well appointed family hotel. We had an apartment with half board but all inclusive is available. The apartment had a basic kitchen and there’s a supermarket almost opposite. There’s direct access to the beach from the swimming pool area. Travelling with a coeliac and Spain, and this hotel in particular, seems very well set up for gluten-free eating.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We came for the first time to this hotel. When we arrived the person at the reception was friendly but just checked in without explaining the accomodations. Where we have to go for breakfast or how to go to the beach. That was a pitty. The food at the hotel is really nice and you have a lot of choice. Every evening there is a theme for dinner. The personal in the restaurant and at the pool are really friendly and nice to kids. Everything in the hotel was very clean. Every day they came with fresh food or ice cream at the pool for free for everyone. In the pool the kids cannot use a floatable toy although it's a family hotel and the pool is really big. Overall it was a nice holiday and we had a lot of fun.

The property or clean and very nice. However: The pictures show a beach but this is not part of the hotel and need to pay for beach chair and umbrella Restaurants in the area are average and limited options for nice dining No touristic attractions nearby Uber is only transportation and very expensive Most tourist attractions leave from Malaga which is around 45 minutes away. There is an all inclusive option but if you don’t chose that, a meal would pay €35 per person You have to pay €3 per day for the in room safe The airport is around an hour away.

Nous avons passé de très bons moments de détente. Nous n'aimons guère les animations, elles étaient discrètes (on peut facilement les éviter si on le souhaite) et de qualité. Le personnel est très agréable. Et nous avons TRES BIEN mangé avec un thème central différent chaque soir. Les apéritifs ou cocktails, vins et digestifs du "all inclusive" étaient corrects. Aucun intérêt par contre d'être dans un grand appart avec cuisine en "all inclusive'. Des WC séparés de la salle de bains seraient plus judicieux.

En avslappnande vistelse med fantastisk service

Vi bodde på hotellet i 7 nätter och är väldigt nöjda med upplevelsen. Servicen var verkligen i toppklass – personalen var hjälpsam, vänlig och genuint mån om att vi skulle trivas. Rummen var rymliga. Hotellet ligger precis vid stranden. Frukost och middag höll bra kvalitet med bra variation. Det enda vi saknade var närheten till stadens mer livliga områden. Hotellet ligger en bit från restauranger, shopping och annat utbud – perfekt om man söker lugn och ro, men lite opraktiskt om man vill ha mer puls eller variation på kvällarna. Taxi eller hyrbil rekommenderas.

Un bel emplacement sur le front de mer. Un parking couvert. Le petit déjeuner complet et varié. Le repas du soir très bien.
