We booked this hotel as it was apparently only a few minutes drive from Marbella - more like a thirty minute drive. We felt we had been lied to about its location, upon arrival we were also very dissapointed to find out that there was no food available as it was 10pm at night. We went to our room and... More

Arrived late Thursday evening to find the hotel was at least a 20 minute taxi journey from Marbella itself (Thomas Cook website says a 'few' minutes) then to find the room for THREE people turned out to be two single beds pushed together with...

Another enjoyable stay at the Paraiso. Whilst the hotel is not deluxe, it offers a great location with fabulous views and a lovely garden and pool. The hotel staff are friendly and the bar prices are reasonable (on a par with UK pub prices but with more generous measures!). The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the maid-service efficient. Want... More
