Hoteles Elba

Elba Estepona Gran Hotel & Thalasso Spa is an incredible destination that really stands out on the Costa del Sol. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with an inviting atmosphere and amazing views. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, combining modern luxury with a relaxed Mediterranean vibe. The Thalasso Spa is a real highlight, offering a variety of treatments that use seawater for relaxation and rejuvenation. Dining at the hotel is a treat. The breakfast buffet is amazing, with everything from fresh fruits to delicious pastries. For dinner, the themed restaurants offer a range of cuisines that highlight local ingredients and flavors. The outdoor spaces are just as wonderful. There are lovely pools surrounded by gardens and easy access to the beach. A standout aspect of my experience was the service, especially from Clara, the assistant manager. She was always approachable and ready to assist, making sure every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude really enhanced the overall experience.

The kids’ club staff suggested we leave a review which I am happy to do as they were great - very friendly and always full of enthusiasm and fun. My kids loved it each day - games in the spacious play room or the pool. Really impressed by it. Generally the hotel was very nice, breakfast buffet was good, staff decent and friendly, nice room with a great view, relaxed ambience. Only issue is the hotel is a solid 40min walk to town and you won’t be doing that in 30+ temp so taxis everywhere as there is no public transport at all.

This was such a nice stay after a long trip. The resort is so calm and peaceful despite being busy. We had a lovely check-in. The room was beautiful, we enjoyed the style. The balcony was a nice addition with a beautiful view. There were different pools. One pool was covered, but during summertime, they opened the roof, and this pool is only for adults. Also 2 options for breakfast, one on the first floor and one on the second floor which was also for adults only. Both places served a nice breakfast and beautiful views. All so peaceful and calm. You get a card for towels, which can be used for the pool or beach. You can have a nice long walk on the coast, which you can reach by using the door next to the beach while using your room card to exit and enter.

Great hotel with an incredible staff. Unbeatable sea views and rooms. Great buffet. Unbeatable value for money. If you want to enjoy the quieter side of Costa del Sol, this is the place for you!

Really lovely hotel, didn't feel run down, everything was clean. The pool is cleaned daily and staff all friendly. We did struggle with mozzies so bring lots of repellant! There is a supermarket and Burger King over the road. We used Uber to get around. Estapona Old Town is lovely. The only negatives was the issue with hundreds of sparrows allowed into the restaurant. They pick at the food and there was droppings over the tables and chairs. We were put off from the pastries as they were all nibbled. It's a Spa hotel but the spa is extra unless you book it with the room. Most of the channels on the TV didn't work. But we were out every day so wasn't a problem. Lovely room.
