TripAdvisor Review
Not a five star hotel

Hotel states it’s five star but I can say it’s far from that. Staff hardly speak English, breakfast very average dried looking pines and flies. Bins in the ladies toilets are all rusty and the knobs on door hanging off. This is no way a 5* hotel peeling old wallpaper in halls dark and dingy. Needs a proper refurb

TripAdvisor Review
Great visit and great staff!

The hotel, service and staff are brilliant from start to finish. Cannot recommend it highly enough. A special mention to Arvelo, Jucelia, Danny G and Abraham who provided exceptional service during our full stay.

This is our third trip here and we will definitely be back!

Birds in dining room

Nice hotel with very helpful staff. Pool area great with good sun loungers. Only downside was birds in the dining room and were pecking at buffet food which was off putting. Not enough done to deter this happening

Lovely Holiday

Just come back from a weeks holiday. Rooms are lovely. Very spacious and well equipped. Rooms cleaned daily and very friendly cleaners. Staff in the hotel are super friendly and go out of their way for you. Location is quite remote there are no bars or restaurants in walking distance but a taxi into Estepona old town doesnt cost too much. We were all inclusive and the Breakfast and Buffet were always topped up and nice. The best thing is that all the meat is cooked to order :) The Spanish Al a Carte restaurant is amazing and again the service was spot on. I would recommend going there if you want a lovely, peaceful relaxing holiday with great service.

Great weekend - but keep valuables locked away

Hotel was nice, a bit dated but clean and rooms were big. Food was pretty good, nice selection of meats cooked fresh to order.

We had a great stay until the last afternoon when, mine and two other friends had iPhones stolen. We had left them next to our sun lounger at the pool, under a t shirt. When we went to leave the pool all 3 phones had gone along with the t shirt. Also my friend’s wallet had been swiped as well.

The staff at reception seemed quite concerned and asked the manager to come to see us. She seemed very uninterested but said she would check the cctv and she would let us know. Later that night my friend received a letter through the door saying that they seen no ‘suspicious activity’. I asked if I could see the cctv for myself as our benches were near a locked gate to the beech, so I would have thought CCTV would have been on the gate. My request was refused. It wasn’t the fact I thought I’d get my phone back, that was long gone. I had suspicions it was the staff as the pool was so quiet, I wouldn’t want it to happen to anyone else. The managers response was underwhelming to say the least.

Anyway a disappointing end to what was a fantastic weekend.
