Pool

We found this a very friendly hotel, the reception staff were great on arrival & very helpful throughout the holiday with trip guidance etc, in particular Diego.
The location of the hotel is slightly remote, (2hrs airport transfer) 20min beachfront walk to nearest bar & restaurants & a further 20mins to Estepona Old Town which is beautiful, plentiful of quaint bars & restaurants. Alternatively 5min taxi ride direct from hotel. Bicycles are also available from the hotel at a €19 per 24hrs.
Local bus service runs from close vicinity to the hotel, €1 to the Old Town & €7 to Marbella. We caught the bus to Puerto Banus, the millionaire boats in the harbour is worth a visit, we then walked along the beachfront to Marbella (2hrs) & got the bus back. Is a nice leisurely flat walk.

We also went on a prearranged tour to Gibraltar for €69 pp, was an hr coach distance away & would recommend, 09.30 pick up 17.00 return.

We had a superior sea view room on the 4th floor which was good. (Fridge, kettle, safe, king size bed, balcony) Was kept very clean on a daily basis.

Beach towels require a €15 deposit per towel which is refundable at end & can be exchanged on a daily basis. Chilled drinking water dispensers are available around the hotel for refilling which was useful.

There is one large pool & a kids pool & the sunbeds got quite full. The beach wasn’t the most picturesque in this location & most stayed around the pool.

We were half board & we thought the meals were excellent, chefs cooking on a large hot plate in full view, breakfast also excellent. Barbecue on Friday had to be booked but would recommend.

Entertainment is on each evening which was varied & ok. better than most similar hotels.

All in all we had a great holiday, the staff were all excellent.

Lovely, friendly hotel.

Love love love this hotel. The view as you walk in is spectacular. The lounge areas are super clean and comfy sofas/seats. Has a stunning decor, nice and modern. The lady on front desk so hood at het job. A happy lady always willing to help. She upgraded our room as it was my partners 60th. Stunning full sea view which ended up being a large family room, Bed I found too hard personally. All toiletries provided in bathroom. Don't be fooled thinking no fridge like us. Its disguised as a  fake chest of drawers lol. They left a bottle of fizz in our room on his bday as well as 2 free cocktails, lovely gesture. Entertainment was inside, only saw magic show, great tricks. Food is on a smaller choice scale but the quality was lush, i eat healthy and having a large serving of fresh chopped fruit was great, will miss those cherries lol. Did see some empty dishes but were refilled very promptly. Entertainment during the day very low key. Its very quiet, no music which would of been nice. Sunbed situation, could get a bed just about at 9am but was there just before high season when really busy. Shingle beach and not enough sun loungers. The beds are chained to the parasol so you can only move them so much. Sea not very clear. Wanted to do jetski but nearby on the beach from hotel. Nothing to do immediately outside hotel. 20 min walk along promonade to Estepona marina. Nice to look at but again reslly quiet even on Engkand euro night. Ended up in Healeys that had loads of tv screens. Went into Extepona old town but shops were shut as we arrived  too late. Didnt find many people watching places to sit. Also walked to the market, good 20 mins walk. Warning gotta walk up cardia hill. Its literally not for the light hearted, I even struggled getting up it as really steep. Normal market of bags, fashionable clothes, football shirts, belts, towels and jewellery. The looky looky market traiders are the only ones that will let you haggle. Locals won't budge on their trips.  Think I have covered it all, Enjoy if you want a chilled holiday. Btw defo recommend going on a boat trip seeing the dolphins, was amazing!

Fab mini break in Estepona

Some good and some not so good.   We stayed and paid for all inclusive privilege.  Positives are rooms are cleaned well and lovely turn down service where staff where lovely and friendly and brought lindor chocolates and changed our beach towels daily.

Privilege area for dining but tbh no special service or anything,   We could have same table every day with our room no on table.  

Bed is NOT comfortable too hard, but liked the options for pillow service so at least my head and neck was comfy!

Food, average AI, nothing special, fair food, nothing to big up tbh and wasn’t told we had to book for BBQ night!    

Drinks!  Yes and yes if you like all the premium drinks, me and hubby do, Jack Daniels all the gins you can think of and many more, so happy with this.

Pools okay, relatively ok activity daily, nothing exciting and same with night, it was average.  

Beach is shale ok for walking on, did have a dip on last day.  It was quiet and fairly private.

If you want bars and restaurants and shops don’t go here!  Had to get taxi into old town. although not expensive it was too busy and couldn’t get anywhere that we liked to eat out, went back to marina and had a lovely meal!

Wouldn’t personally return but worth it for the positives above for anyone looking for quiet and secluded hotel.

The Best

I can't rate this hotel high enough. The welcome on arriving was the best I've had in any hotel. Lajos, on reception, was so friendly and helpful. He seemed genuinely pleased to see us. The glass of fizz was most welcome after a long day of travelling.  The place was immaculately clean inside and out, rooms serviced every day to a high standard. All staff from reception to restaurant to  bar staff and cleaners, all so friendly and helpful. We were having such a lovely time we decided to extend our stay from 7 to 10 nights.
Quality and choice of food and drink both excellent. I would not hesitate to stay here again, and hopefully, I will soon
