We will return
Pros:

Staff are excellent, friendly and attentive. Very clean , lovely rooms, views etc. Excellent breakfast. Lovvely beach promenade that you can walk along to a nice beach further east or for a pleasant 1 hour walk to main Estepona for lovely choice of evening dining. Just 10-13 euros by public taxi to get to the town from hotel. This our 3rd visit and we intend on returning. This is a luxury hotel experience which reflects the higher than average cost but well worth it. Huge rooms and bathrooms - we had junior suite.

Cons:

Shower head was a little low for my 6ft 3 inch husband. Minor issue.

Está bem longe de ser um 5 estrelas.
Pros:

Simpatia dos colaboradores

Cons:

Qualidade geral do edifício e desgaste.
Não é de todo uma propriedade 5 estrelas, nem em produto nem serviço.

Eine wunderschöne Zeit an der Costa del Sol
Pros:

Traumhafte Lage am Meer

Cons:

Frühstücksbereich ohne Meerblick, trotz eigentlich hervorragender Lage; Frühstück gut, aber Brot-/Brötchenqualität könnte besser sein.

Einmal ist genug
Pros:

Lage optimal.

Cons:

5 Sterne Hotel und kein Wasser auf dem Zimmer. Kaffee am Frühstück ist eine Plöre! Alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen!!! Die Preise auch an der Bar sind auch nicht dem was man dafür bekommt angemessen!

worst stay with my girlfriend ever. And it was my 50th birthday. Dont go there thinking sex is allowed.
Pros:

Was a nice suite till we were thrown out for having sex at 2am when police showed up. The jacuzzi we were in when they came was kind of nice.

Cons:

Being thrown out for having sex at 2am in a suite at an "Adults" hotel. On Booking this hotels literally says "Adults preferred"

Der Aufenthalt war insgesamt in Ordnung, mit gutem Essen und freundlichem Service.
Pros:

Das Frühstück und Abendessen bieten eine gute Auswahl und angenehme Variation. Die Qualität der Speisen ist durchgehend überzeugend. Dennoch fehlt es etwas an der Präsentation – sie schafft es nicht ganz, die eigentlich starke Leistung des Restaurants sichtbar zu machen und Gäste dazu einzuladen, dieses Haus entsprechend hervorragend zu bewerten.

Cons:

Das Mobiliar und die Einrichtung erinnern an einen Stil aus den 90er‑Jahren – solide, schwer und mit einem leicht britischen Charakter. Dieser traditionelle Ansatz hat durchaus Charme, doch insgesamt wirkt das Ambiente etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Ein Hauch von Frische und Modernität würde dem Raum gut stehen und das Wohlgefühl der Gäste zusätzlich stärken.
