Hotel Angela

My mother and I (56 years old and 26 years old) stayed at this resort for a week at the end of July. We have been to Costa Del Sol many times but normally stay in Calahonda, this is the first time we stayed at this hotel. Our room was on the 7th Floor (room 730) on the road side. Lovely view from the balcony of the beach. Yes the room was a little tired, light switches/ plugs coming of the wall. There is limited plugs. We took a 4 plug extension wire with us to plug more than one device in, which was really helpful. The electrics only work when you plug in your key card into the box and you are only given one. Room was a good size for us and the bath room was in good condition, water pressure in the shower was amazing. The maids that cleaned the rooms were very good. Food was lovely, we are both picky eaters but found more than one thing thing everyday. We ate most things including salad, no problems. We always found a sun bed even going down at 11/11:30. The pool was nice, beautiful pool overlooking the sea, could be a bit windy. The indoor pool was nice but does need a bit of a do up. The spa lady that worked down there didn’t seem impressed that people were using the pool and not paying her for spa treatments (pool is free). Beach is a nice sandy beach, the waves can be big but right by the lifeguards if you go in front of the hotel. We didn’t rent a sun bed but they were on 5€ a day. The Beach gets very busy at the weekends with Spanish family’s coming to sit at the front with their chairs and umbrellas but we didn’t have a problems with sitting with them. Entertain was your usual singers, yes they did sing a lot of older songs but they do ask for requests. Mary was very good, worth a listen to. We went on a trip to the zoo, it’s about a 20/30 minute walk. And a trip to Mijas, a village up in the hills. If you buy through TUI it’s about £25/30 per person. Because we know the area well, we walked to the bus stop (about a 10 minute walk) and got on the bus (M122) which cost 1.55€ per person per way and takes about 15 minutes to get to Mijas. Overall, we would definitely come back to this hotel and enjoyed our time here!

Review from May 2019. Because I visited in February Tripadvisor prevents you from writing another in a short time scale. Couldn’t fault any specific area with the hotel. We stayed in a refurbished room for the first time which was modern and brighter. The ceiling fan was a bonus because that’s all you needed whilst you were sleeping. Not sure about the wardrobe having no doors. The shower tray tends to overflow. Tip, make sure the bath mat doesn’t cover the drain hole. My only negative observation was that big George customer service was poor, very blunt and intermittent. ( also his singing is interesting). Miguel and the other bar staff were great.. I’ll be back again but hope George is not on the entertainment program.
