Pros and Cons. but not a 5 star.
Pros -Lovely views and right on the beach -Great breakfast buffet -Rooms and public spaces were clean -Spa was very very nice, would recommend. -No problem with pool beds, always got beds each morning. No rushing or reserving needed. -Hotel was nicely buzzing but relaxed. Mix of families and couples etc. There wasn’t any loud crowds.
Cons -Hotel restaurant food was VERY expensive and NOT nice. We ate the first day, was shocked by the price and quality and didn’t eat there again. Drinks and pool drinks are VERY expensive. -10min taxi to Estepona centre, and taxis can be hard to get. So that could be €10-16 euro each way, each night! Just an FYI. -Staff could’ve been nicer, every morning at breakfast they didn’t even acknowledge us. -We would have liked music by the pool each day but there was any!
Overall, nothing REALLY bad to review other than it’s not a 5 star. Would recommend if you don’t mind being outside of the town centre.

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
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
