Overpriced

Unfortunately I found this hotel to be lacking in value compared to what you pay. The breakfast selection was very sparse and the coffee was undrinkable. Unlike other hotels we stayed in in Spain, children are charged full price for the buffet. On the first day they give you two free waters but do not replenish. For the price I had higher expectations for the food. The room was nice and clean.

Not for this price

The location is very convenient, the staff is friendly and helpful. There was a smell of sewage in the bathroom at times. The hotel is fine but not on par with the hefty price. You’d expect luxury and it is not.

The Malibar took a payment of over £1000 off our credit card even although we had paid Expedia prior to the holiday. It then took a long time to get the money back . They never refunded us fully as they claimed exchange rates. This cost us a further £100. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL

Well located hotel

Icon is a lovely hotel. I would stay again as the room was smart, clean and had a super comfortable bed with a pillow menu! All the staff were friendly and helpful and the location is spot on. Not noisy, but minutes from the main town. Cafes and restaurants were fabulous and we frequented many in soho. The cathedral was within easy walking distance as were the beaches. Super easy to find from airport. Train was €1.80 to the station, which 10mins away. We ate out so didnt have breakfast. Recommend the local market and Mamuchis

Regular visitors to the Icon Malabar

This was our third year visiting the Icon Malabar. We like the location, the helpful and friendly staff, the lovely rooms and buffet breakfast. The only downside was the outside noise from local bars and early morning refuse collectors but that’s something that is beyond the hotel’s control.
