Pool

We stayed here early Oct 2024, two couples in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit 12C located directly over the office. We had a large balcony with an amazing view overlooking the property and sea. The units were well equipped, bedrooms a little small, but fine. One bedroom faced the highway side so there was some traffic noise at night. But not too bad. We probably could have drowned it out if we ran the AC but we didn’t. The front desk staff were wonderful and very helpful all week. With check in, check out, and anything we needed. Pool was heated and nice. Not crowded. Spent most of our time on beach. You can rent a tiki umbrella and 2 lounge chairs for 14 euros for the day from the restaurant next door. We loved the boardwalk! You can walk to restaurants in either direction. Be sure to take a flashlight, it’s dark on the way back at night. They leave you one in your unit. It’s nice having a grocery store right across the street you can walk to. Great central location to stay in. We rented a car for the week 320 euros. Explored Malaga, Old Town Marbella, Ronda, Estepona. Even took the ferry over to Morocco for the day. Great trip!

Wonderful stay at Leila Playa!

Just stayed here for 8 nights, in a three bedroom apartment that was amazing! Well equipped, clean and even a washing machine! Beautiful sea view too… Jose was always on reception and was such a pleasure to deal with! We will sure be returning 😃

Beautiful place!

We arrived home yesterday after a three week stay at Leila Playa.
It's wonderful. The views from our apartment were stunning. We had two terraces. The apartment was sparkling clean. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly. 
The facilities on the small resort are great with a gym, sauna, steam room and a heated outdoor pool.
The restaurant on site has a good menu again with lovely staff.
Happy Hour every evening from 6 to 7 pm. 
We have booked for next year.

Lovely resort. Excellent!

Friendly, welcoming staff across the resort. Spotlessly clean and well equipped apartments. Lovely heated pool with plenty of sun beds. Have been coming to this resort for 20 years and it never disappoints. Will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff.

Fabulous

Positive Aspects:

The reception staff were friendly and accommodating at check-in, which created a welcoming first impression.

Our apartment was spacious, well-equipped with a fully functioning kitchen, and offered stunning sea views.

The location was convenient, with a supermarket nearby.

Areas for Improvement:

Air-conditioning/heating issues: The unit in the master bedroom was not operational. Despite two visits from an engineer, the issue remained unresolved, and we were provided with a portable heater as a temporary solution.

Water quality concerns: The water in all upstairs bathrooms was brown. Although reported to reception, the issue persisted until a second follow-up. 

Pool heating: The pool was advertised as heated, yet it was too cold to use during our stay.

Early morning noise disturbances: On our fourth night, we were woken at 6 AM by cleaners in the adjacent apartment, with noise continuing for over an hour.

Check-out policy: The 10 AM check-out time is unusually early compared to other hotels. Given the issues we faced, it was disappointing to be charged an additional 40 Euros to extend our stay until 1 PM. 

On-site restaurant: The restaurant was rarely open, lacked ambiance, and did not offer much appeal.
We waited 90 minutes for food despite approx only 10 other people being in the restaurant at the time. It seems to be closed every Thursday.

OK. Could be 5 stars in the future.

Leila Playa is a secluded resort, surrounded by palm trees and with seaside views of the Mediterranean. The resort has an outdoor swimming pool, rock pools, terraces and waterfalls. The Clubhouse offers a restaurant with a bar. Dine in the restaurant or enjoy your meal alfresco on the terrace over-looking the pool. Regular evening entertainment is offered. On-site you will also find a sauna, steam room and gym, snooker and pool tables and more.
