We knew it was a bit outside ( 3 km ) of the Estepona city centre, but we we chose for peace and quiet and definitely got it. Plus : Spontaneous upgrading from superior room to a junior suite without asking. Huge dressing/bath room. Most probably due to low occupancy because of the start of the touristic season. No buffets.... More

Stayed for three nights the last weekend in April and not even the rain could spoil our stay in this lovely hotel. Beautiful room overlooking the gardens and the sea beyond and a fabulous bathroom, with plenty of storage space in the dressing area. Big, big balcony which unfortunately we could never use even when the rain stopped because due... More

Spent five days here in May. What a great hotel. The facilities were excellent with spotless swimming pools and the huge spa. The food was really good but what really impressed us was the friendliness of all of the staff. We ate in three of the five restaurants and had delightful meals in each only being defeated by the size... More

We spent a lovely few days at the Elba, using it as a base to explore the coast and the hills between Estepona and Gibralter. Although the Hotel was much further out of Estepona than we thought, the walk along the beach (about half an hour) was lovely and ended with the best avacado and prawns I have ever tasted... More

Great-sized junior sea view suite for our family - sound of the sea was amazing. Huge bathroom and well-kitted. Pools and spa were enjoyable, though the outdoor pool would have been best with heating for our April visit. Downsides - restaurant ambiance and overall tired decor - but not too bad! More

We visited for just a weekend and found the hotel clean and well maintained (they were repairing the outside pool during our stay). we were able to use the indoor pool which was warm & pleasant and also had access to the spa pool. Thr room was large, clean and beds were comfortable. Bathrobes and slippers were also available. Breakfast... More

We have stayed at this hotel a few times and have always enjoyed it. The rooms are very spacious and all have views of the Mediterranean. What we enjoy most is the stretch of beach in front of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff, especially Ana in the restaurant and Pepa in reception. More

Had this hotel paid for by brother as wedding anniversary present. There was no buffet restaurant as advertised. You only had the a la carte menu. After a long day we needed more to eat than a plate of meat or sea food with a 1/4 of a piece of veg and cold potato.Neither of us eat much meat or... More

We were on our way to Gibraltar and originally planned to stay a bit closer, but as we drove along the strip of hotel after hotel in Estepona (and area), we thought we would just try a random one that looked beautiful to see how much it would run us for a night. I believe we paid in the area... More

I have given two stars to this hotel but I think I am being very generous. First of all, note this hotel is advertised as 5 stars Grand Luxe. Considering service standards and facilities, this hotel should be given 3+ stars at the most. On my arrival hotel was under reparation. Service is literally at 3 stars standards or lower:... More
