Managed to get a great deal at the hotel during the Easter holiday. The room and bathroom were top quality and the balcony with its partial sea view was so relaxing. The breakfasts were unforgettable - I can't imagine that any other hotel can match the splendid variety and quality served here! I can't wait until there's another deal available... more

My husband and I had our 2nd 2 night break at the Kempinski this year. It was excellent. It's a very comfortable and beautiful hotel - elegant but understated. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous at all times. Yes, the drinks are expensive, but if you choose 5 star then that is to be expected. At least you get... more

We stayed at the Kempinski Estepona as part of an incentive trip, so were traveling with a group of nearly 200 people. It is well suited for a group like this as there are several areas for group activities on site as well as places to gather in smaller groups for meals or cocktails. Our room was fabulous - spacious... more

Worst hotel I ever stayed in. The hotel is next to a motorway so all you hear is traffic day and night. Service was bad, the food in all the restaurantsI tried was ok at best and some cases bad I sent food back on two occassions. When I requested to see the manager I was fobbed off with excuses... more

We had a slight problem with a dog barking in the room next door and this was resolved by being upgraded to a... more

After reading the negative comments from contributors I was going to cancel my booking. My travel agent talked me round. "The hotel has a refurb...we have placed many guests there recently and all have come back with very positive feedback". Sorry to say he was wrong and most of trip adviser contributors were right. First the good things. We were... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for our 26th wedding anniversary. It was about our 15th stay there over the past few years, and we were not dissapointed. Our flight into Malaga was delayed and we didn't arrive at the hotel until 2am, but were delighted to find we had been upgraded from a Diamond room to the... more

In Spain, there is a standard system of hotel rating, where the number of stars depends on mainly formal parameters – like presence of elevators, swimming pools, size of rooms etc. Kempinski is the perfect example of such technically 5-star hotel where management just don’t care about anything else. Upon arrival, we were given a room which was big enough... more
