Hotel Cortijo La Reina (Málaga, Spain)

If you love nature, this place will be your dream accommodation. The surroundings are wild with beautiful trees of varying types and different species of birds. It's right in the centre of the national park. It's away from the Costa strip, so you will have all the peace and relaxation you need. The setting is lovely in the hills above Malaga.

The décor is not spectacular, but it does have a theme. The flowery themed rooms are traditional and have a rich Spanish flair. The hotel is made-up of a number of buildings and each room has its own décor. The furnishings are traditional and constructed from forged iron and refurbished wood. The bathrooms are beautiful with exquisite tiles and fixtures.

Breakfast is a feast. You can eat all you want and the additional cost you pay for the breakfast is reasonably cheap. You have a choice of fruit, cheese, bread, rolls, cereal, meats, coffee, juice, and more. You can help yourself to as much as your heart desires.

Though the themed rooms are lovely, the hotel should pay more attention to small details. For example, you may encounter thread bare sheets, ill-fitted toilet seats, or a defective shower hose. These things are important as the hotel is deemed a four-star establishment.

It seems there is a shortage of staff, especially in the eating area. There aren't enough people and the wait time is too long.

If you have any hint of motion sickness, you're not going to have fun getting to this facility. The hotel is located up a winding mountain road. Therefore, it's not easily accessible.
