Aloha Hill Club Golf & Spa Apartments

The property was nice a little outdated but it was nice. You need a car when going shopping but it was convenient with the nearby pool and has a restaurant as well.

The property is of a very good standard. The Self catering apartment was a good four star with flat screen TV, two bedrooms both with en suites and kitchen with all good amenities . It has an excellent spa and gym room and a pool area with good food served at the pool bar. There are no restaurants on site. Staff were friendly and helpful. Aloha Hill club was located in a really nice area at the top of a hill. it was too far away to walk to bars or restaurants. Having said that the closest restaurants and supermarket were a 5 min taxi ride away. Just too far to walk. Alternatively Puerto Banus was a 15 min taxi cab ride away. We used Uber which was available with no problems. 11 Euros cost to Puerto Banus. I would also recommend that staying here requires a car really. Parking is under the apartment and is free.We were able to drive easily from and to the airport about 45 mins each way and it enabled us to visit Puerto Banus, (15 mins away)Marbella old town ,(30 mins away) Mijas (30 mins away) (all recommended) and Gibraltar (not recommended) 1 hour 15 mins away. TIP: park your car at the big car park before you cross the border to Gibraltar or you will be in a queue for a very long time! Be warned. Take passports also.Mediterranean motorway has tolls but you can use uk credit cards or cash.

The apartment itself was as pictured and described. We were wanting to eat in suppers and breakfasts and the full kitchen was well appointed. It was very clean.The facilities - pool (we used the indoor lap pool) and gym - were great. Note: there is an extra charge to use the gym. Overall, stay was good but you’d definitely need a car to stay here as it’s quite a hilly area and pretty far from any shops. When we checked in, there were no toiletries, hand soap, etc provided for our week-long stay and as it was a Friday the concierge wasn’t able to help (apparently they are usually provided but this got missed) so we had to drive back to the store which was about a 20-30 min round trip drive at night in an unfamiliar area. Not ideal so perhaps check what is supplied before you drive up to Aloha Hill. It’s got “Hill” in the title for a reason…we counted 94 steps to get down (and back up!) to the pool. Okay for us but if you have any mobility challenges, this resort might not be for you.
