Overall we had a very pleasant stay and enjoyed our time at the hotel.
Pros:

Excellent location, very spacious building with beautiful green areas, lovely spa with great massages, and great breakfast buffet

Cons:

The property itself feels quite worn out. Much of the room furniture is outdated, and several facilities, such as the pool showers and the pool toilet door, were broken during our stay. Overall, the hotel would benefit from a proper refresh and better maintenance.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Very comfortable hotel with lovely indoor and outdoor pools. Beautiful views of coast. The food selection at breakfast and dinner was excellent.

Cons:

There is nothing else much near the hotel and about a 30 minute walk into Estepona along the coast.

overall a very good stay with excellent staff throughout who look after you.
Pros:

room was excellent size for 2 people and hotel had a brilliant outdoor pool. Food was good if a little expensive.

Cons:

We found that the indoor buffet restaurant was good with a good selection of food, but found the constant flying around of the local sparrows (or similar) inside the restaurant was annoying not to mention from the health point of view.

Grosses Hotel direkt am Strand mit freundlichen Personal.
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Strand ist top. Das Personal super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Speziell die Mitarbeiter der Reception (inklusive Auto Service und Gepäck).

Cons:

Die Anlage hat schon diverse Jahre hinter sich. Sehr umfangreiches Frühstück, qualitativ aber nicht unbedingt 5 Sterne würdig.
