Gold by Marina

Hotel avec une vibe rétro modern type palm Springs genial. Chambre grande et propre, personnel adorable. Petit déjeuner correct. Seul petit bémol: la literie, des lits individuels qui bougent un peu mais matelas un peu dur qui donne mal au dos . Mais au vu du rapport qualité prix de l'hôtel, je recommande vraiment.

1st October 2025 (2 Weeks) Arrival Experience On arrival the hotel looked clean, welcoming and we were greeted by really friendly reception staff. Jose made us feel welcome and a wealth of information about our stay and room. The room was available straight away (ahead of time). We asked about upgrading to a different room which Jose was able to do and also allowed us to see the room first before we processed it. Information on the hotel, safe, rooms and lifts were told to us. Welcome drinks were offered. Staff All staff throughout our stay were always friendly, professional and a warm smile. From the start of our 2 weeks right through to checking out Pool staff were always friendly at the poolside bar, and food area. Non alcoholic shots came around the pool some days. There were different vibes with DJ, Singers on different days always relaxed. House keeping came in during the day, at times we had the do not disturb on the door they would come later when sign was removed by us. Rooms The room had all amenities, Kitchenette, 2 beds put together. They offered pillow selection menu with pillows that could cater for different people. The long basic ones in the room we were happy with. The TV had a selection of channels and you could change the audio to some languages if available. The view was nice with a partial view of the sea, looking over the roof area that had a hot tub and sun loungers in a quieter area. The room itself had Toaster, 2 cooker hob, coffee maker, pot and pans, with cutlery and plating for 2 people, with a fridge in the room also. Safe available (ask at reception). One thing for the ladies or long haired men to know is that the hair dryer does have an extendable cable (we only realized on the 2nd last day). You just need to pull it, its retractable. Facilities We only tried the food twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch. The food was ok, but we went with visiting the local centre’s Yumbo , Cita and also the beach front area, all within 5-10 mins walk. The location is ideal. There is a gym available, it looked small but had plenty of equipment. Massages were available when booked, There is a Hiper Dino shop with 100m from the hotel with an abundance of everything you need, pastries, right up to fillers you may want in your room and some home comforts and toiletries. Pools 2 pools , the long one is no more than waist height but with a seat along the wall, with cabanas beside it, there was never a rush for loungers as there was always some free at both pools, depending on the time of day and sun area. A bonus was it is an adults only hotel. Environment and Surroundings The hotel had a chilled Miami vibe throughout, décor, staff appearance. The hotel was clean throughout with not much noise level, during the day there was normal noise but not loud and definitely not stopping any siestas. The beach and 2 local shopping centres were 5-10 walk. Just 3 mins walk from the hotel is also a 24hr auto pizza maker

Revisited here for the past week with my partner after our first visit in May 2023. We decided to return to this hotel as we had enjoyed it so much the first time. This time, the hotel was still very good and we had a good time, but it was like a tale of two halves. There were a lot of great point to our stay but unfortunately also many bad points too. On arrival, we were once again greeted with a glass of cava each and because we arrived just before noon, we were told our room wasn’t ready. The very friendly receptionist told us we were free to use the pool and hotel amenities until our room was ready. She informed us that she would try and have the room ready within the hour but couldn’t guarantee. We sat outside and enjoyed our cava in the sunshine, getting changed into shorts and flip flops before taking a casual five minute walk down to Yumbo to grab a bite to eat. We must have been left the hotel about 20 minutes when reception called to say the room was ready. This was really quick and we weren’t expecting it. Amazing service and very welcomed after a long day of travelling. We returned to the hotel and unpacked. We had once again opted for a Junior Suite as we had last time. This time we were on the end, just below the hot tub and this was a much quieter room as we didn’t hear any noise at all from the scraping of sun loungers above, or the poolside bar below. The odd noise from next door was heard, but nothing major from inside the room. The rooms are exactly as shown in the photos online and every detail is taken into account. The air-con is also amazing and much needed after a relaxing day around the pool, or hot tub/sauna area on the roof. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen area well equipped, even with a coffee pod machine. There was also a complimentary bottle of red wine and a pack of sweets to enjoy. A nice touch. The staff members we encountered were all extremely friendly and helpful, especially the whole of the Reception Team and Marta at the restaurant/bar. The pools are a good size and there are a good number of beds but too many people reserve their beds with towels and bags when they aren’t even using the pool. Some days we observed towels and bags on beds and for the few hours we were there and after, not one person visited the beds to use them. For the first 5 days of our holiday, there was a female lifeguard on duty who didn’t seem to care that beds were reserved. She did very little to combat this, unlike the lifeguard on our previous stay who would remove towels from unused beds. Towels being left on beds often meant people could be seen on a hunt for beds and on one day housekeeping had to bring beds down from the roof for people to use. The female lifeguard also let dirty towels build up in the towel basket so that that they were flowing over onto the floor and over the towel ‘fridge’. This particular lifeguard was quite rude one day; we had returned from the beach at 5pm and went to get towels to sit aroun
