The hotel is in a great location for the marina, beach, shops, bars, bus stops etc. The aircon in the room was fantastic. Room was spacious for the 3 of us. The pool bar and snacks were great with reasonable prices. Hotel and room were clean.
However.....the listing does not reflect reality and the price was far too high for what the hotel offers. There is no cafe, arcades or billiards room. Apart from location, the offer of the arcade and cafe onside was the attraction for us as we were travelling with a teenager. The rooms are dated with dated, damaged furniture. The kitchen needed replacing, the cupboards and drawers were wonky and wouldn't close fully. The bathroom was full of mouldy grout and mould all down the shower pipe. The bathroom was laid out very awkwardly. The pool area is spacious and clean, however, the pool itself needs a good clean as there is scum all around the tiles with lots of broken/chipped tiles. The listing says sunbeds available but doesn't explain that they are €2 a day (not much but wasn't advertised). Overall an OK hotel for convenience and for a few nights but was disappointing as its advertised and priced much differently.

We had a lovely stay, the accommodation was perfect for me and my daughter. The staff were so helpful and really friendly. The apartment was close to the marina which was great for a walk in the evening. The pool was fantastic and the €2 for a sun-bed is definitely worth it as they were super comfy. The pool bar had perfect snacks and drinks. I would highly recommend and will definitely come back.

The property is a bit dated but its in a very clear condition. The pool area is good, there is the 2euto charge per day for sunbeds but the mattresses are comfortable and there was plenty of space while we were there. Building work goes on next door but Pepitas can't be blamed for that. I'd definitely stay there again.

The room was good size with good air con however in our particular room there was a smell of drainage.
We were there for 6 nights so this did not provide us with a clean this was disappointing.
Had to pay 6 euro when we asked for an additional towel.
This 6 euro gave us a complete set of towels and bedding ( that we did not need as only wanted additional towels).
Did not provide change of bin bags and said we needed to purchase these from shop and take to bin in street to dispose.
The pool area was very basic. Pool was a little dirty and dated. The sun beds were however very comfortable because pads for beds were available.
The pool bar was excellent with great food at good prices.
2 euro charge per day for sun beds, this is not a lot but due to poor condition of pool area i wonder how this is warranted.
We had no issues with getting beds during our stay and thankfully no one reserved at stupid o clock !!
Was noisy at night particularly at weekends when night clubs end.
The noise is not a reflection on accommodation as it is just due to location.
That said the location was perfect as very central.
I would not recommend or return however none of the above made for a bed experience.

Hotel in great location, Apartment was basic but spacious. No towel changes in the 5 nights we stayed was a strange one.

5 mins walk down to the marina and some bars at the square lto the rear which went on late into the evening.

A new hotel is being built right next door and whilst i appreciate the M.S Pepita cant do much about that, i felt still charging for sunbeds was not ideal.

The construction noise goes on all day with 2 large cranes sometimes swinging around in the vicinity. banging, drilling, disc cutter noise etc.

Fortunatley not on the weekend so enjoyed 2 quiet days by the pool.

Rcepetion staff were great, the lady assisted me with some useful bus times and the gentleman allowed us to have our room for an extra 25 euro on our final day to avoid early check out.

Well presented with a microwave, kettle, aircon, toaster etc, and a washing up kit which was thoughtful & the staff were really friendly though the bed was quite firm even for us, oh and the towels were only changed once a wk...

Great value for money, apartments are well equipped, in a great location and handy for restaurants, supermarkets and local bus service. You do need to pay for WiFi, safety deposit box, extra cleaning and sunbeds at the pool, so bear this in mind if you are on a budget. The rooms on the roadside get sun for most of the day during winter time and there is no road noise, I even had a sea view.

Lovely, comfortable weeks stay.

Hotel room was beautiful with lovely air conditioning. Beds were changed every other day mostly and towels changed regularly. When checking out we were allowed to leave our luggage down in a secure room aswell as being told we could still use the games room with air conditioning, and charging ports aswell as the pool girls shower and public shower until we left the building. The receptionists were most helpful and very kind to all three of us. The hotel is pretty central to everything on the marina, shopping centre is close, aquarium, restaurants, stalls, marina, bars, clubs aswell as offering help with taxi services and WiFi. WiFi was not free but also was not too expensive either.

Great value for money for a three star Apartment

Great value for money even though a 3 star. Very central to the Marina where you will find many restaurants and bar, close to La Carieula beach. Transportation only three mins walk. Nice pool but shared with two residential blocks, there is a pool bar, nice snacks and best Sangria. Staff are amazing especially the staff on the Reception desk who go above and beyond. Small charge to use wifi although free in Reception area. Great value for money and I would return. Only one disappointment in that they were roadworks on one side of the hotel, but that should be finished by the end of May it’s all go to plan. Five stars for the staff.

We were not happy to pay 4 euros each a day for a sun bed! 2 euros for a bed and 2 euros for a padding. This is the first time I have been asked this and I felt sorry for young families with children as this cost would add up in a 2 week holiday.

Rude staff and poor maintenance

My trip was ruined because my key for the main door would not open the door. I was only there for one night and had planned to be picked up by friends at the Marina to join the rest of my friends in Mijas on the afternoon I arrived. I was unable to get to the Marina on time as I spent so long persuading the caretaker to do something about my defective key or the defective lock. He was rude and dismisive and wandered off leaving me in the lobby not knowing what to do. After about an hour of waiting and three calls to the telephone number they leave at reception the caretaker finally sorts the lock. To join my friends in Mijas I pay for a taxi at a cost of 28euros. The next morning I express my wish for a partial refund for the disruption, extra expense and unacceptable handling of the matter by the caretaker. I am told this will not be possible. For this reason I would not recommend the Ms Alay apartments.

A nasty break

I spent pretty much the whole of my stay in my room as I slipped on the disabled ramp outside the hotel on my way out on the first day. The guy on reception helped me up and got me back to my room however in hindsight he should have rang me an ambulance as I had a double fracture of the fibea. I know why they have these ramps but they really have to make the safer I am currently in hospital in England facing a long rehabilitation which could have been prevented if they just had some grips put over the tiles. Apart from this I would certainly stay at this hotel again great location good size rooms and very clean. Pool area surprisingly nice as well

grand job

went there on a stag weekend, we read a few bad reviews of the hotel and were a bit hesitant to book it due to these reviews,
as it was a stags and the price was very reasonable we booked it anyway,
when we got there we were greatly surprised, the location beside the 24 hour square was ideal, the hotel lobby was spotless and the staff were friendly, when we got to the room I was even more surprised!! I booked a room for 2 and it was very big, self contained kitchen, toilets were pristine etc,
I would have no hesitation in going to stay there again, it ticked all the boxes, the only down side was that the pool was out of action due to maintenance, but given the fact that we went before the season started then we have to make allowances that maintenance has to take place and it was unfortunate that it was happening during our stay, but that couldn't be helped at the end of the day, overall very happy with the accommodation and would happily recommend.
oh the housekeeping could have been better, but that's all :)
