Medplaya Hotel Pez Espada  

The location of this hotel is beachfront and is ideal for all age groups,particularly those who enjoy walking along the prom.There are great strolls in either direction.The public spaces and rooms are also impressive.We were lucky enough to be offered an upgrade to a penthouse suite so our accommodation was very spacious and comfortable.The bathroom was fantastic!

For a four star hotel a minibar and safe should be available in the room and not require discussion with reception.Similarly,air conditioning should be at the guests' disposal all the year round ,not just from May to September.It can be very hot at different times of the year in Spain not just in the months highlighted.We were disappointed in this aspect and it does not seem to be mentioned on any of the websites,just in the information in the room.

The food was great and resaurant staff were excellent.

On arrival the receptionist wasnt partcularly interested in us,he was more interested in looking at holidays on the intrnet. The room we were allocated was on the ground floor , we requested a high room. It was ok but thats all,we requested to change rooms and were offered annother it was worse than the first with paint peeling off the walls .The leg on one of the beds was broken we reported it but they did nothing. We couldnt sit on the balcony at night as the sprinklers came on and we got soaked, we were then infested by flying ants we sprayed them .Next day the cleaner came and went but didnt seem to notice the dead ants and hoovered and left.

This was our second stay at the Pez Espada and was equally as enjoyable as our first visit. The Pez Espada rooms are large and comfortable (and this time benefitted from magnificent sea views from our balcony). Our family group were allocated rooms within close proximity to one another and we were also able to enjoy group meals together in the hotel restaurant. The buffet style meals (breakfasts and dinners in our case) were well cooked, well presented, generous and varied, and the restaurant staff were efficient, friendly, attentive and discrete. We also made use of the hotel pools and garden - and the comfortable cafe and bar. The Pez Espada has a fine location overlooking the sea and is close to the beach, cafes, bars and shops. We enjoyed a wonderful, if brief, stay and will very likely return in the future. Thanks to all for a great holiday.

Fantastic for watching the world go by on the beach front and soaking up the sun! Miguel on the front desk was so helpful.

Strong smell of furniture polish in the rooms

The location is superb, at the quieter end of La Carihuela. It is convenient for travelling to Malaga or Fuengirola. The dining area is light & airy & the waiting staff & maitre most accommodating.

The evening music entertainment is definitely geared towards the older guest & so my 22 year old daughter & I spent the evenings outside of the hotel, which was a pity. By 8.30 A.m one morning every single sun lounger had already been reserved by guests placing their towels on them. I noticed that several of them were not occupied for the majority of the day. The management should really not allow this to take place.

We enjoyed the location,the comfort and cleanliness,was also impressed with the food and the choices available.

Only small gripe is that we would have liked a kettle in the room.

lots, no hot water, asked for room with internet it didnt work they moved me to another room it still didnt work.

Se intuye que en el pasado fue un gran hotel a pesar de que la ampliación de los años '90 estropeó el conjunto

El personal es antipático y no se esfuerza en solucionar las necesidades de los clientes. Las instalaciones son viejas y han estropeado todo el encanto que hotel tenía en los años '60. El servicio de limpieza de habitaciones sólo funciona a las 13 h, después de esa hora no se realizan servicios. Por cada toalla de la piscina hay que dejar 20 € de depósito y no se pueden sacar del hotel (el hotel está delante de la playa). Cuando solicité que me gurdasen mis maletas depués del check-out me dieron una llave del cuarto de maletas para que yo mismo las colocase donde pudiese.

Ubicación excelente, personal atento por los años de experiencia (son trabajadores de muchos años),

Al reservar media pensión no te dejan elegir entre almuerzo o cena, es cena obligatoria

Het is een keurig schoon hotel, het eten is ook voor ieder wat wils. Personeel is heel beleefd tegen de gasten. Het is goed vertoeven in medplaya hotel pez espada.

Ubicación en primera linea de playa. Salones muy amplios piscinas estupendas.

Mobiliario antiguo y en mal estado. Frigorifico viejo, vacío y cerrado con llave. Cuando pidé la llave me dijeron que era de pago, pero que a mi no me cobrarian. El primer día no limpiaron la habitación hasta que se lo pedí a las 7 de la tarde. En definitiva una vieja gloria venida a menos

Aspecto anticuado

La relación calidad-precio es excesivo, ya que el hotel es antiquísimo (casi de la época de manolo escobar), con todos los respetos hacia éste gran artista y no está para nada acorde con lo que es la Hostelería Española. La Costa del Sol o se renueva en Hostelería, o se verá sólamente con los guiris, y que aprendan de los Hoteles de las costas de Cádiz ó Huelva.
