Genil Vacations from ￥161,599

The apartment was very well located for the centre of Malaga, reception staff were very friendly and helpful, apartment was very spacious and comfortable

On arrival, airport conditioning and elevator were not working. As a 64 year old with arthritic ankles, I had to drag my heavy suitcase up 3 floors to my room. Air con was broken all night (as was elevator) so I sweated all night and got little sleep. Went out in morning (walking down and up stairs still to/from breakfast - great breakfast btw). Returned in the evening to be told it was fixed. But not in my room! Rude staff member insisted it was my fault for 'playing' with controls. It was eventually fixed but both AC and elevator were not working for short periods throughout my 7 day stay. In my room, one rail over the safe to hang clothes but NO cupboard space, so had to live out of a suitcase. Gap at bottom of bed so small it was necessary to climb over the bed to get to a mirror on the other side. Breakfast good. Most staff friendly except the guy I mentioned earlier. Clean and modern. Coffee in lobby from a machine but not in room. Fridge but full of stuff they want to sell you at high prices. Pool and solarium are great, despite what I have read in other reviews. Noise was not an issue for me, again despite other reviews, although I was at the back of the hotel - I can imagine that front of hotel is pretty noisy. Last moan - and I am disgusted by this: the first night, when I had to bake in the heat and couldn't use the elevator, I had a bottle of water from the fridge. They refused to let me have this for free as some sort of apology and charged me for it at the end!

The staff was extremely helpful. My flight was 26 hours delayed because of an engine problem and the hotel staff responded immediately to all ow my partner who arrived on a different flight to allow her instead of me to check in. They also allowed my son who arrived the next morning to take a shower. So helpful and generous

Due to a flight cancellation I needed to book a hotel a very short notice. The Ocean Dream was a fantastic uneventful find. Super location, lovely friendly staff and a wonderful self contained apartment. Would recommend it to anyone.
