Hotel Antequera Hills

Big rooms, very clean and super friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Excellent location in Antequera and for tourism in Andalucia. Nearby to beautiful golf course.

A good hotel for visiting places such as El Torcal and Caminito del Rey. We stayed there for two nights. The hotel is within walking distance of the centre of Antequera, in a quiet location. There is a paid underground car park, which we used. The rooms are good: well-kept bedrooms and bathrooms. We had booked two rooms with direct access to the swimming pool, which is a real bonus. It was a bit of a shock when we arrived in the rooms and opened the curtains to find that a large family had taken over our two terraces and were smoking and eating there; they made no effort to move. It was very rude and unfortunate that the lifeguard on duty did not intervene. He could at least have notified someone from the hotel staff to ask this family to move. We received a very friendly welcome at the reception and also in the restaurant. The breakfast and dinner (buffet) were very well prepared.

A good Spanish Hotel. It's not like a British chain hotel, and my wife & I found the Hotel Antequera met our needs. Our room, overlooking the pool area, was very clean and was serviced daily; beds were very comfortable, the bathroom had a good shower and in true Spanish style a bidet! Food was served by way of a buffet, with loads of choice. There is a bar area opening after breakfast until late. We found the staff and service to be excellent. The hotel is located away from the town centre, but we found the La Veronica shopping centre, with a large Carrefour supermarket and around 15 smaller shops, to be around a 15 minute stroll away.

We stayed at the Antequera Hills Hotel as part of our holiday package deal. The reception area is large and comfortable but lacked atmosphere. Our room was large and had comfortable beds a good shower and bathroom and a balcony, but was in need of updating. There were no tea / coffee making facilities, just 2 bottles of water you had to pay for. No information sheets were present in the room so you have to work things out for yourself. There is a nice cold pool but no other facilities. We were told they used to have a spa and steam room but that these had been shut down. The food was fine with a good choice but the evening meals were a bit repetitive. The main downside to the hotel is the staff. With a few exceptions most of the staff were rude arrogant and very inattentive. At times we got the impression they don't like the English and we were an inconvenience. Typical example was when I went to the bar for drinks for our group. The barman with a pony tail was serving some Spanish guests. He served the their drinks and took a food order. I was his next customer with nobody else present. Instead of serving me next, he chose to go into the kitchen and slowly collect placemats for the Spanish guests and take them to their table and chat to them. He then returned but instead of serving me, he returned to the kitchen where I watched him slowly select cutlery, wrap each set in a serviette, then taken them to the Spanish guests table. He finally returned but instead of serving me he again went into the kitchen where he disappeared for several minutes before eventually returning to the bar to serve me. I contemplated going to the reception desk to voice my displeasure with the service, but didn't see the point as in all my dealings with them I had received the same impression (that I was an inconvenience) . I had heard reports that the English were not welcome any more in Spain and this definitely was the impression I got at this hotel. If I had a choice I would not chose this hotel to stay at given our experience. I also consider that the 4 star rating is over generous, a feeling shared by others in our group.

We were booked to stay at this hotel half board for 10 nights at the beginning of September. The hotel itself was lovely but unfortunately the food wasn't. The dining area was more like a school canteen. Dull and uninteresting food that really was done on the cheap. To be fair it did improve after a few days when more people arrived at the hotel. The bar and restaurant staff could do with retraining, they were surly and seemed to be on a mission to dish up short measures of alcoholic drinks. All in all a beautiful hotel let down by the staff.

It was very nice. Looked brand new. Rugs were the only thing I wasn’t sure. They looked ok but can never tell if they were weekly cleaned or lightly vacuumed.
