End of summer week in the sun

Unheard of for us, but we decided to come back to this hotel after a week holiday last year. Everything about this hotel is superb. Reception staff, restaurant staff, bar staff, cleaning staff. My only gripe is that we asked for a room upgrade (as an Expedia platinum member) but were told that all the higher grade rooms were full. This wasn’t the case as we could clearly see that the suite we had last year was unoccupied for the duration of our stay.

Staff make this hotel

We spent a week as a family of 4. While I’m not sure this is truly a 5*, a bit dated overall. However the food was excellent quality, the restaurants were never too busy & the quality of food was very good, in particular at the buffet. It got busier around the pool during the week but was comfortable. The staff were a key highlight, very helpful and always a smile, everyone really, but shout out to Cristina who always had a smile & remembered everyone.

The hotel was the best choice for our family vacation. Staff was very friendly,very helpful,food amazing and very nice. Location of the hotel was amazing,right by the beach, waking up every morning to the sound of the waves and birds singing. Definitely the best choice for a family vacation.

I really appreciate the hotel's warm and welcoming atmosphere, and its convenient location is a definite advantage for guests. However, I understand the current decor might not meet everyone's expectations. A minor refurbishment and updating the furniture could elevate the experience for future visitors.

The hotel is in a lovely location right beside a nice sandy beach. The hotel staff were really friendly and were able to point me in the right direction when I needed to buy a plug to charge UK devices. Not so great for public transport although a taxi to Estepona is €10

Don’t be fooled this is not 5 stars

The Ringwood and ms were good, but do not be fooled this is not a 5 star hotel by any means, 4 star at best

Pool needs maintenance- black mould Beach loungers shabby old and very uncomfortable Breakfast buffet very poor, fruit choice very limited, busy, no table service for drinks, crowded area round coffee machine, toaster juice machine Evening buffet not very good Crockery etc very shabby Room very nice, great cleaning staff, fab view and beach access very convenient but this is NOT a 5 star hotel by any means and that should be changed on your website. This is a 4 star hotel and we would not have stayed here if we’d known that beforehand. Mis- advertising which is unusual for hotel.com

Nice 5 star hotel

Long time ago it was new fresch hotel, impresive 5 star, big and with lot of interior details. To keep that high standard management should invest in renoveration, and they did just partly, at least in our room. Some of furniture is to be updated. Main problem we got was bad smell in the room (actually we got big apartment-suite). Huge bedroom with big bed, table to work, living room, separate room as garderobe and sink, bathroom with shower, bath, bide and wc, each of that in own space with door. All other was good, new fresch towells and bathrobe, spaceuse room, nice pool area, lot of green area…. Own beach area.

Not 5*. But very friendly staff

Typical turistic hotel. Not 5* Very helpful staff, fine and clean rooms. The food here is another store. Recommend to enjoy all meals outside. Breakfast buffet is a mess, food quality suffering and the noiselevel is dramatically high, said by a father to 4 kids! We tried the Italian/French restaurant and send all food back to the kitchen! Meat not fresh(my first grey carpaccio), salmon defenately not fresh or freshly from the freezer(very fishi’ taste) as. Omoensation we got a plate with truffle ravioli….with black hair in, so back again. Staff was proffessional and excused by Giving us free drinks and the we wnt hungry to bed - But again friendly staff - Chef has defenately something to catch up with. SPA is okay, pool needs renovation(green and black alcks). Not 5* but a typical turist hotel at Costa del sol. Nice people.

Stort fint rum, utsikten svårslagen. Hotellet slitet, behöver en ganska omfattande renovering för att kallas femstjärnigt. Frukosten var kaosartad och att få sig en kopp kaffe var en kamp.

Charme der untergehenden Bourgeoise

Ein in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel. Kein Stuhl der nicht wackelte. Liegen für ein 5 Sterne Hotel total inadäquat. Frühstück mit Vielfalt allerdings auf Discounter Niveau. Sehr freundliches Personal.
