We knew this hotel under previous ownership (RIU) and was pleasantly surprised to see the standard had been maintained. We stayed for 3 nights in a lovely corner room overlooking the sea. The pool looks brilliant as always ( too cold for us in March) and the hotel is bang on the beach. Most of the guests were Spanish. The... More

Beautiful place! Most workers friendly, however...the hotel is a rip-off. You have to pay 1.50 per 10 mins of internet use just to use their wi-fi. We paid for half-board, which says it includes breakfast and dinner. Problem is that drinks are not free. I understand the alchololic drinks shouldnt be free unless you pay for all inclusive...but the waiter... More

As said earlier the hotel could not be faulted the food was good, facilities pool and grounds in a good clean condition. Shame about the location as its miles from anywhere, if you want a decent night out you have to travel to Nerja. I had a good holiday although if I have to be honest having a teenage son... More

As a Travel agent we have sent many clients to this hotel when a RIU. We e.mailed the hotel some weeks ago regards a client arriving for the new year. NO reply ever received.

I've benn in the Hotell of Malaga Playa in july and really liked it. stayed with my family for 10 days. the most iliked is SPA and girls there are just great!!! One spanish and the other girl is not. so I and my wife spend in the lovely SPA a lot of time. Thanks !!!

After reading reviews I booked with some caution. However, the hotel is excellent, the staff do speak English, the food was very very good and the drinks list on the all inclusive was excellent. The location however may not be to everyone's taste particularly I suspect if choosing half board or room and breakfast. The beach in this area is... More

I have stayed at this hotel at least twice a year for the last 7 years, how disappointing to see that the Riu Standards had gone down since being takenover by Iberostar. The food was nice typical buffet sytle but ok, however if you chose not to have all inclusive you were left with no eating options during the day.... More

The Malaga Playa Iberostar is about 65 km from the train station in Malaga. There is a shuttle from the City to the hotel for about 20 euros per person if you have 4 or more people. The Buffet Breakfast was excellent and had a huge selection. On our last morning we had to leave before breakfast was served, but... More

We stayed here back in July for 2 nights after spending a few days in Nerja as Torrox looked beautiful. We found it very hard to actually find a hotel when we arrived in Torrox but we spotted this one which was absolutely huge and we were very glad we found it! The hotel is massive and located right on... More
