This evening is the last night of our holiday, my husband and I booked this hotel based on the write up in various brochures and the fact it was a small luxury hotel of the world. I can honestly say its neither a five star and as for luxury absolutely not. The first day we arrived we had lunch at... more

We stayed at the hotel 2 years ago and since then, it has changed of the worst. The setting is fabulous, the rooms are first class and the potential is huge! The staff are poorly trained and service is very disappointing. Drinks were forgotten, wrong orders sent, lack of attentiveness to our needs. The hotel would not switch on the... more

This hotel is a 5stars, classy and business hotel. Everything was very fine. We found the restaurants to expensive for what you get! 18€ for a club sandwich without french fries and litlle bit of salad... The swimming pool was very cold in october, so you could'nt swim. A litlle beach in front of the hotel. Central to estepona village... more

Location is awful. Motorway directly in front. Nudist camp to one side, very small unattractive beach area with hotel pumping human waste there which flows back. The only remaining side has a pavement which runs out after 2 minutes walk. Gin and Tonic 11.40EUROS. Bored stupid, Estepona is not pretty, just a normal Spanish town with not much to offer... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Elba for a week at the end of October to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The hotel itself is superb. We stayed in a junior suite that was spacious with a wonderful bathroom- including jacuzzi shower and bath! Towels and bedding were changed daily and bedroom toileteries were replenished frequently. We really enjoyed... more

This hotel has the bricks and morter needed for a 5 star rating. Unfortunately it has been let down by a lack of care for its customers. Upon arrival we were told that there was no record of our booking (two rooms, 3 adults and two young children) Despite showing the reception staff evidence of a confirmed booking we were... more

We have just returned from a fantastic week in Estepona. We hired a car at Malaga airport and the hotel is about an hour's drive along the coastal road - lovely. The hotel is on the main road but all of the rooms overlook the sea so you can't hear any traffic noise. You do need a car, though, unless... more

I would advise against anyone visiting this area. We were terribly disappointed in the Costa Del Sol. There is nothing there but ugly, half built condos and dirty beaches. This hotel was only marginally OK. The spa is not professional to American standards at all - my practitioner kept blowing her nose and didn't wash her hands. I practially ran... more

We have just returned from a 6 night break at the Elba Estepona and frankly were a little disappointed. Upon arrival all seemed to be in order, the room we booked (junior suite) to accomodate 4 of us (2 adults, 1 teenager + 1 infant) was roomy, with a seperate lounge area with a rollaway bed for our 13yr old... more
