Reviews of Hotel Apartamentos Manilva Sun 3 stars

The location, friendly staff and facilities were all 100%

The Kitchens could have been better equipped, there were no lifeguards at the swimming pool.

The apartment was very spacious, great aircon and it was quiet. I had a room overlooking the swimming pool and a nice balcony.

There was no soap, shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom, which is a given in most hotels and apartments. The shower was so poor, no water pressure whatsoever. The space around the pool is quite small, I didn't like the artificial grass and the wonky old loungers. It would be nice to have some oil, salt and basic condiments in the kitchen.

Thank you for such an amazing week and accommodating such a large group of us (13 on family holiday). It was clean, comfortable and a great atmosphere. We were made to feel really welcome. The pool was great, relaxing and lots of quiet periods. Never too crowded. The little shop on site had everything u need. We have a group with all ages. Young kids. Teenagers, young adults . Older adults. This suited all ages.

Have been coming to this part of Spain for around 20 years and staying at Manilva Sun (previously El Goleto) for 15 of them. All rooms are comfortable and cleaned several times during a stay. Good kitchen facilities for self catering and lots of places to eat in Duquesa, Sabinillas or Estepona (or Marlows at the bottom of the road). Plenty of chairs around the pool if you don't want to go to the beach.

As i keep coming back each year, nothing i don't really like other than my holiday never being long enough.

Very good location & clean

all of it

Some of the best staff we have ever come across very helpful and would try to fulfil your every need

Place need a bit of tlc but for what we payed we can't complain

Nice apartment and very good size for 5 of us 13+ years old. Friendly staff Clean environment. Fair location took 2 Mins to drive to the beach front. Underground parking was useful. Had all you needed in the apartment to cook etc if you wanted The balcony was an ok size Aircon was good. Everything was clean even inside fridge.

The opening time for the pool was late from 10am. The bar/restaurant could have done with being more welcoming as it looked a little empty and hard to tell that was what it was for. They have a small shop inside by reception but everything we looked to use it, it seemed closed. Don't think enough floor staff were around. Had mini golf onsite but only knew by walking around that this was here. Seemed wasted. The pool is extremely deep even in the shallow end for kids.

It was a good small apartment for the week. The air conditioning worked well, the room was comfortable and met our needs. There was also free onsite parking in a garage.

It would be nice to have had some basic items like more dish soap (we got a very tiny tiny container). A hair dryer would have also been REALLY nice - there was not one provided.

Friendly staff, spacious and clean apartment, nice balcony, quiet

One chair on balcony was broken, toilet seat needed fixing - so just tiny things easily fixed but the worst thing for me was, despite signs around the pool area saying “no smoking” there were cigarette ends around and every Sun lounger had ash on the sides where people had put out their cigarettes. Attention to this and cleaning of the chairs and pool area would have made our stay almost perfect!

Staff was always helpful and polite. The room has everything you need. The kitchen is complete. Indoor parking was super for not getting the car too warm and making it easier to get with the luggage into the room.

The biggest problem is guests who do not follow the rules and the hotel does not do anything about it. I have read in other reviews and experienced it myself. The pool closes at 22 and more than once I heard people diving after that time. Also people drinking and talking very loud after 23 and people smoking where there are clear signs that forbids it. That is very common. The weekly cleaning could be more clear. You never know which day your room will be cleaned. Also, the weekly cleaning should include more than just changing sheets, wiping the floor and bathroom. The kitchen and the furniture were not touched, all the dust accumulating.

Great location. Online check-in and 24-hour service was perfect. The place looked wonderful - it’s a shame we were only there for such a short time!

Great apartments in a great location. Easy to walk to the beach and marina in about 20 minutes. Although uphill on the way back, so may not be doable for all. Apartments had everything you need and any problems were overcome straight away. For example our toaster didn’t work and within 5 minutes we had a replacement. Pool is great also.

Just a little dated, but very typical Spanish apartment.

Location and pool

Smoking policy ..immediately on entering hotel smelt of smoke Unable to sit in bar areas for whole of stay due to this

I've been coming here for around 14 years, so that says a lot about the location and apartments. Always a pleasure, i tend to use the local beaches, but there is a pool on site with plenty of seating. Small shop on site and not far to several local shops for self catering, although food is available on site. You can walk down to the nearest beach, although it is uphill on the way back, which may be harder after a day in the sun. Close to Gibraltar for those that want to go, Marlow fish and chip (for those missing home) and a gym down by the main road.

Nothing i don't like, hence have returned here for many years.

The staff couldn't do enough to help you and the complex was spotless at all times. Being high up on th hill meant the views were stunning. Just also meant it was a little breezier than anticipated.

My only minor complaint was that the towels could have been changed part way through the week. It was quite a distance from the main resort and beach but having a shop with essentials on site was fab. I

Everything was like expected : the appartment is quite big (from a Parisian perspective) and pretty well equipped, the balcony is not big but enough still. It's really not far from the seaside and all commodities (shopping, restaurants, etc). The pool is open 10-22h, and a set of utilities is provided (1 sponge, a small manual dishwashing soap bottle for 1 or 2 days, a tabletop mop, 1 pod for laundry, one for dishwasher)

For a region with SO MUCH DELICIOUS oranges, this place, like every other we visited lacked a manual citrus fruits juicer!

NO pressure with the hot water in the shower... then when I went to run a hot bath the hot water ran out in 5 minutes..

the shower, no water pressure. and the Massive pot hole in the middle of the road in front of reception..every body was banging into it.
