Not exactly a 4* hotel
The stay was uneventful however the hotel does need a overhaul the 4* must be very outdated there are cracks in the bathroom, very limited amenities not exactly what I would expect from a 4* hotel in it's current form would rate it 3*

Perfect Playa
Staff was very accommodating & friendly. Very close to the beach. Nice little town. My only complaint is about the underground garage. It was very tight and the access problem caused delays both going in and out.

Just north of Malaga
Located near beach and beach community. It was off season so not crowded but not beach weather either. Nice hotel, helpful staff.

Overall experience was very good. A couple of small issues in the room but other wise facilities were excellent. 10 Euro charge for using the pool separately was a bit on the high side. Local facilities were very good and the biggest plus was close to beach, barely a 5 minute walk

Disappointing
Fabulous little village with an Amazing beach. Hotel was let down by the terrace which was a basic balcony and the glass was broken and some weeds on the cracks of the paving. Breakfast was really a continental without the salad bits and served in a strange room with no view. Not quite what you would expect from a 4star hotel at the price we paid.

Close to the beach and big rooms.
The rooms were certainly big enough and they were cleaned regularly. Unfortunate though we chose the hotel for the roof terrace pool and bar to be told they were closed until the summer. Additionally the ensuite regularly smelled of drains and the shower ran on the same setting between glacial and boiling. The bath had jets in it which didn't work and we were told we had to pay extra for that. A good holiday was had but sadly it was not what we thought we were getting and poor communication from the hotel didn't help.

Value for money
Arrived around 01:00 because our flight into Malaga airport was delayed. The front desk managed to get our party some milk and bread rolls. The room was large, clean and comfortable. The restaurant in the basement was rather on the small size but the breakfast had variety and adequate. The hotel is situated right in the middle of residential blocks. Parking outside the hotel is limited due to the flats around near hotel. The hotel does have parking, in the basement, at a cost. There is also a rooftop bar and swimming pool where you can enjoy views of the beach and the sea. Value for money hotel.

Nice hotel close to the beach
Ok, maybe not really a 4 star hotel, but clean with large rooms. Would be nice to have real mattresses rather than just some water proof cover. Rather good breakfast, lacking vegetables though. Parking was more expensive than stated. We reported the light by the bathroom mirror was out after the first night, but it didn't get fixed during the week we stayed. Even though there are shops and restaurants in the area, the best thing is the beach. Quality of restaurants are ok, but much better in Rincón de la Victoria close by.

Nice Hotel with Great Terrace Pool but Lacking Little Comforts
Overall we had a decent experience at the Cala Bahia hotel. The hotel itself is very nice and the rooftop pool is absolutely amazing with a great view of the beach and surrounding city! Our biggest complaints are with some things in the room. The shower was always an adventure. The water constantly rotated between cold and scalding hot (literally you can't even keep your hand in it!). We stayed for four days and never once had a normal temperature, so it seems this is the norm. There was also only a single towel hook in the bathroom and this fell off the wall! Normally this isn't such a problem but when you have many wet things from the pool and beach, there is literally nowhere to hang them. Finally, the wifi only works in the lobby. You can get a cable for the room so it will work there with your laptop but that's obviously not helpful if you often use your smartphone. The neighborhood is nice; definitely all locals and very few tourists, which we enjoyed. If you need to get to Malaga there is good bus service between Cala Moral (the closest stop) and the city, but it takes about a half hour. We didn't mind this since we were mostly there to enjoy the beautiful beach which is only a 2 minute walk from the hotel.

Unpleasant attitude from Reception Staff
The hotel is fine, the reception staff were not. They are focused on charging the hidden extras (car parking, hiring an internet cable etc) and have no idea about giving customers a good experience. I was given a room where the temperature (sunny day) was massively hot. The air con did not work and the receptionist literally screamed at me that it was because I had opened the window. Of course I opened the window because the room was too hot to even breathe in. Overall very bad attitude and not interested in giving a suitable room and I was told that the only way to get the room to a good temperature is to close the window and STAY in the room until the small air con unit cools the space. Can I leave the room in this time ? NO, again shouted. If you leave the room the air-con goes OFF. So what do I do ? No response from staff... The hidden cost of hotel parking is not mentioned (€10 a day) and nor is the forced rental of an internet cable. Hotel generally OK, staff on reception have zero customer awareness at all.

Nice hotel, not good location
This hotel has very friendly and supportive staff and is located fairly close to the beach. The spa is great and relaxing. The bad thing is that it is located in a small town with not too much to do around, it was hard to find a place to eat around. It may be because of the season, we were there in the beginning of July.

Marta was delightful and extremely helpful.
The hotel was exquisite. Breakfast was extra special serving just about anything you want. The receptionists were cordial and very helpful. All spoke English. We arrived a day late because we got lost. We called several times to report where we were and Marta each time tried to talk us in. When we arrived in the village she even stood on the porch to watch for us. She served us coffee after we were checked in and again when we were in the long using WiFi. She is a delightful person with a caring attitude. We would certainly stay there again. Malaya is only a 20 min. bus ride from there. There are many places to eat and shop and a nice long walk on the spotless malegon is not to be missed.

I would go back in a heartbeat! We felt welcome from the minute we arrived - everything was neat and tidy and comfortable. The hotel was quite close to the beach - we had fantastic weather and from the pool on the roof you are surrounded by views of the Med!! Absolutely amazing.

Not the best
We booked at a bargain rate but the hotel wasn't worth much more really. If I had paid the full rate I would have been very disappointed. Breakfast was poor, hot items were a bit dried up. I would have expected better for four stars. The room was a good size and very clean although the bath tap didn't work, only the shower.

Nice Hotel
The location of the hotel is a little north of Malaga. A nice little village and the hotel is queezed in between other buildings. Reception spoke english very well and was very friendly. Rooms are large and clean and bed comfortable. A package was mailed to me to the hotel but the reception refused it and it is lost forever. I even had asked them first if it is OK to have a package mailed to me there. But the hotel was great otherwise and would stay there again. I prefer staying there much more than at locations like Terremolinos. There is free Internet in the room, but you need a cable for it. No free wireless.

Quando fiz a escolha do hotel, um dos motivos da decisão foi por ser de frente para o mar com uma piscina no terraço. Para a nossa surpresa, no final de semana, a piscina estava proibida aos hóspedes, porque o hotel a reservou para um evento privado. Lamentável! A piscina faz parte da hospedagem, inclusive a foto propaganda do hotel é a piscina no terraço
