OleHolidays 344 Romana Playa con vistas al mar Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to OleHolidays 344 Romana Playa con vistas al mar, I’ll be honest — the name’s a bit of a mouthful, but the location immediately made sense. This four-star property sits right in the Coto los Dolores urbanization, and you can actually see the Mediterranean from the upper floors. The building itself has that typical Costa del Sol apartment-style architecture, nothing too flashy, but it’s well-maintained and the sea views are genuinely impressive. What struck me most was how quiet it felt despite being so close to Marbella‘s action.

Location & Getting Around

The Coto los Dolores area is honestly one of those spots that locals know but tourists often miss. You’re about a 10-minute drive from Marbella’s old town, but far enough away to escape the summer crowds that can make the city center feel overwhelming. The beach access is what really sells this place — there’s a decent stretch of sand just a short walk down the hill, and it’s way less packed than the beaches closer to Puerto Banús. Having free parking on-site is actually a huge deal here, because finding a spot anywhere along this coast during peak season can be a real headache.

The Accommodation

The apartment-style setup works really well for couples, which explains why so many pairs end up rating this place highly. My unit had a proper kitchen with everything you’d need for simple meals, though honestly, with all the great tapas places nearby, I didn’t cook much. The sea-view balcony is where you’ll spend most of your time — there’s something about having your morning coffee while watching the boats drift by that just hits different. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with decent air conditioning that actually worked properly (not always a given in Spanish coastal properties).

The Experience

What I appreciated most was how this place attracts a good mix of travelers without feeling touristy. You’ll hear Spanish, German, and English in the hallways, but it never feels chaotic or party-focused like some of the places closer to the marina. The property management is pretty responsive — when I had a minor issue with the Wi-Fi, someone was up to fix it within a couple hours. The 8.7 rating honestly feels about right; it’s not trying to be something it’s not, just a solid base for exploring this part of the coast.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

The combination of those genuine sea views, reliable amenities, and that sweet spot location really works. You’re close enough to walk to some excellent local restaurants (there’s a fantastic chiringuito about 15 minutes down the beach), but you can also easily drive to Marbella, Estepona, or even Gibraltar for day trips. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own space with a kitchenette and balcony rather than just a hotel room. It’s the kind of place where you can actually settle in for a week and feel like you’re living on the Costa del Sol, not just visiting it.
