The people make this Kempinski hotel special. Great attention to detail, they make you feel good and comfortable. The gastronomic restaurant is outstanding, but all the others serve very good food, too. Do not stay on the East side, the highway is noisy. We were assigned a room there, immediately asked for a change and were very happy with the new room.

I recently spent a long weekend with my girlfriend in the Kempinski, the hotel and it's grounds are stunning, rooms are large and spacious with a particularly big bath room. Even though we didn't opt for a sea view, the basic rooms face down the beach so you can still see the sea from the balcony. Staff are all very polite and willing to go the extra mile to fulfill any requests which we had.

Only negatives are the price (not cheap), rooms don't have their own ironing boards and we found the walls fairly thin (we could hear the neighbouring room's guests when they laughed or spoke loudly).

We have been to this hotel a few times before and would gladly go again. It is wonderful, with fantastic architecture and sublime views out over the med. The gardens are a delight and the rooms spacious and luxurious. In the main the staff are curteous though at the bar it can be a bit slow and once they were a little rude, though they apologied later. A little tip is to use the upper outside swimming pool as this is heated whilst the inside pool is freezing.

Excellent views and great service are definite features... However, the off-motorway location that's slightly harder to turn into than its competition in Marbella and somewhat average food detract from the overall experience. Estepona itself is also a little removed from all the action
