8/10 Good
"Difficult to plan excursions from this location. Very cool stay but not convenient location. The hotel is planning to start helping guests book excursions directly with the hotel which is a great idea. During our stay, we were unable to do this unfortunately. We found the most cost-effective method to book things seemed to be taxi or bolt 45 minutes away just to start in Malaga where group tours pickup. We decided to pay extra to travel more directly to Ronda one day & taxi fares are very expensive. A hotel transfer to the airport was also expensive. The hotel offered to book for around 100 dollars. We saved a little just arranging our own taxi. (Still not cheap though)"
