“Did not quite make the grade!”
When we booked this hotel it was part of the Ritz Carlton group then 2 weeks before our booking date it dissapeared off their website. Despite many calls to the hotel and the Ritz we could noit find out what was happening. We decided to go on the trip anyway and chance it. The hotel has got everything you need and the room was large, clean and well furnished, just about a 5* I would say. We enjoyed our stay but having stayed in Ritz Carlton hotels all over the world, this hotel did not come near that standard. There was no bar open in the hotel and as it's in a remote location with nothing in walking distance, not what we expected. In fact apart from the reception staff the hotel was like anquiet apartment block.. zero atmosphere . The breakfast buffet we tried on Sunday morning for brunch was very dissapointing, and absolutelty not up to 5* standard, I have seen better in a UK Premier Inn ! If you just want a great room without the experience of a 5* hotel, then you will be ok..
“Simply sublime!”
The hotel is described as being half-way between Marbella and Estepona which makes it sound a little remote - as do the pictures of rolling countryside on the hotel website. However, it's actually just 15 mins in a cab to Marbella old town and Puerte Banus but it has the added bonus of being situated on a stunning golf course (the womens championship was taking place during our stay). The hotel is simply stunning, very large pool with an incredible spa (lots of different steam rooms and saunas). The fitness room is surprisingly good with 2 treadmills, cross trainer, 2 bikes etc. The bedrooms and bathrooms are absolutely enormous in the most basic category of room so I can't even imagine how good the suites are. Only negative was that the restaurant/bar service was a bit slow (exacerbated by the fact they had 2 weddings and a golf championship going on during our stay) and the casual dining was very limited in scope.
“"over the top"”
the hotel villa padierna was terrific. would highly recommend it. service was over the top. grounds were impeccably maintained. rooms were immaculate. i would certainly return to this wonderful hotel. the stafff was extremely accommodating.
“Great hotel, few niggles”
It is hard to be critical of the hotel. Overall it was excellent. With a 5* hotel you expect everything to be perfect, sadly they just missed the mark. The biggest complaint is the air conditioning only managed to drop the temperature of the room a couple of degrees. We had maintenance come up and they explained it just didn't work very well. Also, being charged EUR20 a day for internet was simply unbelievable considering how much we spent to stay there! 2 big fails. Other than that though, the experience was fantastic - the hotel is immaculate and the staff are very helpful.
“Fantastic chilled out time - I recommend it”
Brilliant hotel - very plush but not stuffy. Made to feel very welcome. Definitely recommend it. Chilling out by the pool with a glass of wine is a must. Make sure you hire a car though...
“Impressive property with professional, courteous staff.”
Beautiful property set inland a short distance from Estapona. Ideal location for exploring Andalucia. Unless coming to enjoy the superb golf courses, you should have a car so you can explore the surroundings and get to stores. Rooms well appointed. Day drives to Seville, Granada, the beaches, Los Pueblos Blancos, Gibraltar, Jerez de la Frontera, and other popular destinations are all practical from this location.
“excellent hotel”
Good quality hotel with excellent staff and good food . Hotel pool a little small but beach club very good as an alternative . Food in both resraurants was very good with reasonable service . Pool bar was adequate .
“Lovely hotel, very friendly staff”
I just returned from a short break, having booked this as last a minute holiday to get away into the sun. The hotel is definately 5 star, with lovely views over the golf course, the pool is very picturesque and the restuarant food is very good indeed. The prices are a bit expensive and made worse with the current exchange rates but to be expected with a 5 star resort so not surprising. On the day of departure, the hotel was fully booked so I couldn't extend the checkout time however I was offered the use of the spar to shower and change before departing, everything was very organised, fluffy towels, dressing gown and slippers, the spar is large and I only wished that I had more time so that I could have experienced the spar treatments.
“Great 5-star hotel”
If you are looking for a place to relax, this is the hotel. Truly 5-star experience.
“Beautiful Hotel! Can't wait to go back”
Very lovely hotel and impeccable customer service. Be sure to inquire about the day trips, and don't forget to get a tour of the entire hotel- its like staying at a museum. One of the best parts was the pool area, absolutely delightful. The only thing I would change is the location, you need a car to get around and it is a good distance from the airport.
