Exe Estepona Thalasso Hotel is a tranquil adults-only retreat located on the Costa del Sol, between the coastal towns of Estepona and Marbella.

Each modern, air-conditioned room is bright and comfortably furnished, featuring a balcony or terrace, satellite TV, minibar, safe, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Bathrooms include a hairdryer and amenities, and upgraded rooms offer additional space or pool views for an enhanced stay.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
This rating is for TUI holidays not the hotel itself. Awful location, inaccurate description from TUI, like staying at an M1 services.
TUI rating and promotion of this hotel is false, please do not be taken in by it. The hotel is a business or one night stop over not a holiday destination.
Half board is the same set menu every night in an empty restaurant. No salad bar, no specials, tepid food. No point in changing for dinner or sitting in the deserted bar, ambience nil.
No where to walk to, traffic noise drowns out sitting on your balcony. Buses either do not turn up or are very late due to traffic on the motorway just outside the hotel.
Hotel staff did try hard to help but TUI customer services whilst we were on holiday and when returned were brusque, dismissive and unhelpful.
We will not be booking again with Tui, this holiday did not deliver, was not value for money and was deeply disappointing on every level.
A trusted brand? No where near Tui!
Poor location great complex your research before going is expesive
People who stay there banging their doors long way from estepona nice beech 5 inmates down the road wish the hotel was in a different location

Staff very friendly all over hotel Spa facilities excellent
Pool very clean and spacious Rooms dated problem with piping dripping continuous noise very clean room but the electrics and amenities in room need updating. Noise from road was constant 24 hrs a day Location far out no amenities close by you need a car Half board option very repetitive menu with few choices Only drinks were wine or water not much choice We enjoyed our stay as relaxing but rooms need an update
Tired hotel, terrible location next to the motorway. Closest beach only accessible by walking across the motorway and walking through an estate. Spa costs extra.
By the side of a 4 lane motorway . In the middle of no where. Atmosphere none .The bar inside of the hotel was not open at all , while we were there. Staff very helpful .Pool bar , light music , daytime food as long as there was enough staff the kitchen. Half board , breakfast , hot food luke warm, evening meal set menu Same all week except for soup , if you could call it that , pea soup , mushy peas. Most of the menu uneatable ,mush . dessert 2 cheese with ice cream was ok .could go on but I'll leave it t that . Good thing there was a Idli close by . Room was a good size ,clean , sheets and towels were changed every day. Adult only ,no we had 3 babies, during our stay . This is a good hotel for a one night stay , or a few nights to attend a wedding close by . That's what most people did . But not for an holiday, like what it was sold to us, by TUI .
