Top Playa del Palo Hotel Reviews

Apartamentos Turisticos La Mundial

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was especially helpful, especially Alberto who helped us with our TV, and the girl at the front desk who was there on our first day. The amenities offered by the hotel are very nice and convenient, and it is so close to the beach, with many good restaurants nearby, we really liked that. Our first time in a capsule hotel. We would definitely stay there again."

Futurotel Malagueta Premium Beach

8/10 Good

"Un peu bruyant dans les cabine en plastic et la clim ne fonctionnait pas bien donc faisant parfois chaud dans la cabine"

El Nogal Home - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Propre et bien localisé"

Villas Pinares de San Antón, Saltwater pool, Sea, City, Mountain Views

10/10 Excellent

"great villa, great location and very nice host. we loved this property so much, you really didn't need to go anywhere since everything you needed was there. I suggest it to everyone."

Hotel La Chancla

10/10 Excellent

"We needed a hotel close to the airport and this was a great option. About a 20-30 minute drive to the airport. Direct beachfront, great views from most rooms. Parking is not on site, but a few blocks away on flat roads. Ask the hotel for help with arranging parking. We didn't think to do that and ended up paying more. All staff were very friendly and helpful in speaking English with us since our Spanish isn't very good."

Ronnies Beach House, nice 2 bedroom house with a big rooftop with great seaview

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely adored staying at Ronnie’s Beach House. Such a lovely and well equipped apartment. Amazing communication. We loved having coffees on the roof terrace every morning and pre dinner drinks every evening whilst taking in the views. Being so close to the beach and so many amazing restaurants made it a dream holiday!"

Apart. 4, Casa Málaga, sea views and balcony

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed, including both small and large appliances. The location was excellent — only about a 15-minute walk to the sea. The promenade has plenty of lovely seafood restaurants. It was also very convenient to get to Málaga city centre and the airport. Gordon was always available and very responsive. He quickly sorted out anything we needed during our stay. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this apartment."

La Moraga De Poniente Málaga Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a nice 3 night stay here in a private bedroom (room 1) with a cute little balcony. My room was clean & had plenty of space to put my belongings away & keep things organized. I utilized the kitchen (stove, fridge & freezer). They keep it well stocked with dishes & cooking supplies. The staff helped me with transportation (there's a bus stop about a minute away that is very helpful, especially when there are no Uber or Bolt drivers to be found). I also rented a bike one day & explored the city & along the coast, which was a nice bonus. There are a bunch of cute restaurants & bars right in the area & it feels safe to walk around solo at night. I would recommend this place to stay."

Scenic Flat in Malaga

10/10 Excellent

"The property was about two blocks from the beach area, which was very nice. It has a great view of the Mediterranean from the 8th floor. It was very clean and looked almost brand new. Very comfortable and had easy access to restaurants, markets, and anything else you might need.We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend this property. The beach area near this apartment is really great with lots of eating places serving fresh fish roasted on an open fire pit. Very delicious.Tony & Twila Pettina"
