Staying in the El Palo district is great. Everything on your doorstep, the beach within minutes and easy access to the heart of Malaga via bus or taxi - walking along the coast is also great. We went there as a family of 2 adults and 2 children (3 and 5) and loved having a downstairs and upstairs lounge. The terrace is awesome. As mentioned in some other reviews the hot water is a little limited and there’s some traffic noise but that doesn’t distract from a great stay!
