Playa Costa del Sol, Cala Del Moral Overview
Playa Costa del Sol is located in Cala Del Moral, Spain. Rated 3.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
Playa Costa del Sol in Cala del Moral, Spain, is a small, straightforward stay for travellers who want the coast close at hand rather than a packed schedule of on-site activities. The address is Calle Vendaval 2, and the area’s main draw is time outdoors by the sea, with the beach stretch around Playa de la Cala del Moral within easy reach. Because the guest rating is 3/10 based on a single review, it’s best approached with realistic expectations and a focus on location and practical needs. One reviewer’s experience suggests the property may not suit everyone, so it’s wise to check details carefully before committing.
For families and groups travelling with children, the hotel allows children and also welcomes pets, which can matter if you’re trying to keep everyone together on a road trip. Practical touches include air conditioning for warmer days, non-smoking rooms, and wheelchair accessibility with facilities for disabled guests. If you’re sensitive to hygiene, note that guest rooms are disinfected between stays, and the property lists fire extinguishers as part of its safety measures.
In the wider area, you can pair beach time with city sightseeing in Málaga, where Málaga Cathedral is roughly 18 km away and Calle Larios is about the same distance. For a change of pace, Castillo de Gibralfaro is around 19 km from the hotel, giving you a higher vantage point over the coastline. Overall, Playa Costa del Sol is best for families, pet-friendly travellers, and motorists who prioritise nearby coastal access and simple, functional lodging over high-end comfort.

What to Expect
You arrive at a small, straightforward property on Calle Vendaval 2, with the main appeal being time outdoors by the sea in Cala del Moral.
