Beautiful, clean hotel and fantastic friendly and helpful staff. Perfect place to stay for a holiday. Food and drinks good and very well priced. Old Town Estepona has lovely traditional streets. Taxis fair prices too. Good food and very polite staff at restaurants

Big Mistake as this is not a 5 star hotel at best it’s a 3 star hotel from the 1980/90’s that you would have found in package deals to Benidorm . The hotel is tired,drab and in need of refurbishment, the food offer is dreadful because anything that should be hot is at best warm and served on cold plates so by the time you have queued to get the rest of your meal it’s stone cold. The cooked meats are tough and chewy and at €30 for the buffet it’s a ripoff. With temperatures in the high 20’s you can’t even buy a ice cream! Our room is £200 sterling a night and the floor covering is scratched and worn with the wall paper peeling off, the AC is only on when the hotel feels it’s hot enough, the only thing 5 star about this hotel is the price for everything including the drinks every night we see delivery companies delivering pizzas and take aways to guests that come down to the lobby to collect this speaks volumes about the food at the hotel.The swimming pool has big patches of black mildew as does the shower cubicle in our room If you are looking at this hotel keep on looking for something else, I have stayed at The Senator Benaus Spa on the new golden mile over 10 times and that’s a beautiful 5 star hotel. This place is a complete disgrace .…

Dear RangeRover2007, First of all we would like to thank you for your visit and for taking the time to review our hotel. All comments are important to us, but it is also important to clarify your allegations in order to avoid any sort of misrepresentation of our company, therefore we would like to take the opportunity to analyse and comment some of the issues you raised. Perhaps on your future trips instead of taking advantage of public forums to slam businesses you could first speak to the personnel to address your issues and if you then find the results unacceptable you can still leave a comment here. Since opening our hotel, we have received numerous honours and awards that recognize the value and professionalism of our staff that is always attentive to our guests, having become one of the best hotels in Málaga. We suggest the readers to consider also other reviews to have a balanced view of our service standards, in fact if there is something we stand out for it is the friendliness of our staff, as well as their constant motivation, passion and sincere endeavour to help guests whereas possible. However it is difficult if not impossible to please costumers who have a very negative perception of everything. In any case we humbly like to apologize if there has been any sort of shortcomings we were not aware of, as we reckon there is always room for improvement in every company. We would be glad if you leave Málaga on a positive note, as that's all we want for all travellers. Good luck on your future travels and please try to be more upfront about any issues that arise in the moment. Personal interactions shouldn't be completely lost in this digital age. Friendly regards, Juan Manuel Galán General Manager Elba Estepona Gran Hotel & Thalasso Spa*****

Hotel interiors were tired and dated including a battered lampshade on the bedside table. Not enough sockets and kettle did not work. There was no door in the bathroom but instead a glass door separating the bath from the toilet once inside the room - no privacy if you want to have a bath. Staff were lovely, helpful and the service was good, however rates reflect that of a five star and this hotel due to its tired and impractical interiors and amenities were a three star at best.

We just spent 4 nights at the hotel for a weekend break on the Costa del Sol, sadly we seemed to pick the one of the worst weeks for weather in many years and there was a distinct absence of the Sol. The hotel was very good, comfortable, clean and the food to a very good standard with plenty of choice for even the fussiest eater. We made use of the spa facilities during the poor weather and these were also very good. The only downside for us is the location on the outskirts of Estepona and a taxi ride was required every time that we wanted to go into town and it wasnt possible to walk into town due to the very busy main road outside the hotel. Would recommend the hotel and would like to return one day when the weather is more favourable.

Stayed a week, excellent hotel, great choice of food in various restaurants and buffet, staff are efficient and friendly. Coffee at breakfast is very strong but that is probably how the locals like it. The hotel is situated between Estepona and Minilva on the main road, nowhere is really walkable so a car is a must, obviously there are taxis and Mayr busses. Overall an excellent hotel and a great place to stay

We enjoyed a wonderful stay here. The family room was a lot bigger than many hotels of similar quality that we have stayed in and the terrace overlooking the med was a nice size too. The staff were great, breakfast was good standard but the real treat for a winter stay is the indoor pool. Very clean, comfortable loungers around it and perfect for all ages to enjoy. Would definitely stay here again.

We had booked through an Easyjet package and were most impressed by the hotel and its facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a lovely room on the 6th floor overlooking the sea and gardens. it was a great time of year to visit as not many tourists and yet lovely sunshine. In high season I think the corridors could be noisy as everywhere has tiled floors.

Rather disappointing for a 5 star hotel! Beautiful weather but pool was being worked on so empty and lots of noise from building contractors. It’s location is very cut off you definitely need a car or keep using cans as no bars or restaurants within. Easy walking distance. The hotel do not advertise that’s it is located right nect door fo a nudist camp and as this is a hotel for families it’s quite off putting seeing naked. Men wandering up and down the beach outside. The indoor pool was open but very run down inside with mod around the inside of the pool. Only one bar open with no way of getting drinks outside On a positive note the rooms are clean and spacious and the food is excellent. Staff are really helpful
