This hotel is like my dream Spanish villa, but better since everything is done for you. The location is a little hard to find but once there the views and the surrounding area is some of the prettiest in all of southern Spain. You can pull up right outside of the main entrance and two ushers immediately start to help... more

This hotel has everything and more. Beautfully laid out in Italian Villa Style with calming fountains and statues amongst the hotels corridors and patios. Overlooking the golft course and distant sea view the hotel is situated at the back of the resort with a 17 euro taxi ride into Puerto Banus. Our room was huge with a large bathroom which... more

Beautiful hotel, perfect service. Lovely spa. I booked transport from airport on hotel website - but be wary they will charge you more for a 'private car' unless you specify the 23 euros cheaper taxi. (I queried this and the front desk duly reduced the rate for me.) Food for vegetarians is limited. And as others have noted the hotel... more

o.k. so most people that have stayed in this hotel have had a good expierience but let me tell you mine. from entering the hotel we were greeted with an ice cold mint water then escorted around the hotel facilities whilst our luggage was taken to the room. We perched ourselves on the veranda with a drink and took in... more

Moderate sized hotel, but a small hotel feel. I had a beautiful courtyard facing room. The balcony was a lovely touch - large enough to soak in the sun and comfortable to linger all morning. The room was so well furnished that it felt like my own bedroom. The grounds and common areas are incredibly elegant and well appointed including... more

This is a beautiful hotel with friendly, helpful yet unobtrusive staff. Service really was first class. The food was excellent in both restaurants. I didn't leave the hotel as was too taken by the spa and the grounds. Perfect for a girlie weekend or for couples:) more

We stayed at the Villa Padierna (Operated by the Ritz) from January 2nd thru January 7th. The place is beautiful. Our room had a direct view to the Med. sea -- stunning sun rises etc. There is lots of construction going on in this area of Southern Spain. It's actually scary to imagine the amount of traffic this will cause... more

I stayed at Villa Padierna for 2 nights in November 2007. Ave temp then was around 17-20 deg C I had a superior room, which was superb. The room (211) was in the main Villa - some other rooms are in the adjoining block which also houses the ballroom/conference facility and spa. The room was tastefully decorated, with 2 single... more

We travel a lot. This is truly 5* luxury as it should be. Deserving of the the name Ritz, there is nothing that is not the best of the best. Of course, this comes at a price don't expect any special offers, discounted drinks, or meals under 30 Euros for a main course but the service, quality of ingredients and... more
