HOTEL Y BUNGALOWS BALCON DE CÓMPETA

A quiet, family-run hotel with friendly staff and amazing views. So handy to the town and all amenities and great value for money. It does require a fair bit of TLC, especially in the pool area but nonetheless we really enjoyed our holiday.

From the minute, we checked in we were given a warm welcome by all the staff. We stayed for the week with our friends and couldn’t fault our experience. Lovely continental breakfast but with the added bonus of bacon and eggs if wanted. The hotel was spotless, with amazing housekeeping staff. The hotel pool was a bonus with a brilliant bar and fantastic G&Ts! We didn’t make use of the tennis court but it’s free for hotel guests. The central location for the village is great and the views from the balcony and terrace are stunning. Will definitely be back!

It is getting very tired. Surprised to find the restaurant was closed in the evening as was the bar when we returned at 10pm. The room was large with lovely views but the towels were threadbare and generally the atmosphere was past its sell by date. The staff were very welcoming and it was a good value stay with a continental breakfast but would need modernising before we would revisit

Comfortable hotel just off the centre of town. Nice rooms with strong shower. Very comfortable bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Would certainly stay again.

What a wonderfull place. Forget any bad reviews about the pool. We stayed 5 nights and noticed it being tested daily. Just a fabulous holiday and thanks to everyone .||We used to go to Competa 30 + years ago and remember Franquelos bar in town. He set up this hotel . Hope they can keep the tradition going

Stayed here for 5 nights with our family in 4 rooms .All were superb with balconies.one was a bit dated but clean and functional with working air con. Dont know where the malicious reviews about the pool came from. It was perfect. Noticed they tested and cleaned it daily and filtered. The grandkids adored it. Breakfast good. Proper coffee fresh bread. Lunchtime again perfect fresh and amazing value. One of the best holidays weve had. Thank you Balcon especially Maria and Jude

The lady at the reception desk was very warm and welcoming. The hotel sits on the top of a mountain and overlooks the valley, offering breathtaking views. That said, this is a remote location so plan accordingly. Expect an hour of driving to/from the airport, and at least a half-hour to the coast The food was great, but the service is just okay. Light breakfast fare, but of good quality. Nice spread of cheeses, breads, and juices. Coffee served at the bar. The patio is very nice to sit on to have dinner, especially when the weather is nice Parking is a bit of a hassle, but the lady at the reception desk did a very good job of explaining where to park/where not to park I cannot emphasize how friendly the lady was (I didn't think to ask her name).

I send a complaint regarding the pool, no reaction: July 4th, 2026 We came for swimming today. We paid € 30,00 for sunbeds and entrance. The pool did not look clear at all today. I wore a brand new white bikini today. As I came home I noticed my bikini had a yellowish creme colour. I do not think this should be the case. What solution can you give me?

I want to point out that I've never stayed here but use the restaurant/terrace regularly. As its namesake suggests, this hotel is situated overlooking the mountains and valleys of Axarquia that graduate down to the coast and sea that stretches across to Morocco. It's south facing so very sunny and a great place to spend the evening to have dinner and drinks as the sun sets, whilst looking out over sea where you can see, on a clear day, the north African mountain range. - Very peaceful. Well it should be. Regularly, there were quite raucous local children kicking footballs, cycling and screaming all ignored by their parents. Kids will be kids but a restaurant/terrace is not the place. Not where you want to spend the evening literally dodging footballs. It's a real shame. Nice friendly staff. Good food and tapas with your drinks but sadly not a place that I can spend even 5 minutes!
