"Los Arcos have a very poor impression on arrival. It's a shabby old fashioned terracotta frontage amongst white pristine buildings. Parking is very difficult & staff at reception not helpful. We arrived a few mins early & were made to feel a nuisance. A simple free drink at the bar would have helpful.
The receiption area is dingy, as is the breakfast area - cafe space. Bedroom had a large balcony & comfy huge bed, but again, dated. Bathroom small & towels seen better days. Plus side, lovely clean pool, down side, building works next door. Breakfast was basic - the cheapest sliced cheese & bread, over cooked eggs, lots of cakes. Altogether we used it as a base - it wasn't of the standard we expected for 3 nights - other locations were have been pleasantly surprised, so this wasn't a good comparison. Nerja old town & Frigliani both lovely."
