We used the quiet pool daily no rush to get a sun bed early it got more busy towards late afternoon at happy hour 4 till 6. We got food from pool bar which was excellent and staff are very friendly. We hired a car as very remote area. No problem getting our deposit back on leaving. Will be returning again.

“Great……but just be aware of negatives!”

Lovely townhouse with roof top terrace and jacuzzi. Jacuzzi was clean and was filtered after 5 days. Never went to the pools, as pool bar was not open. Apartment clean with table and chairs on ground floor terrace, nothing on first floor terrace……could have done it a couple of chairs. Roof top terr… more

Lovely townhouse with roof top terrace and jacuzzi. Jacuzzi was clean and was filtered after 5 days. Never went to the pools, as pool bar was not open. Apartment clean with table and chairs on ground floor terrace, nothing on first floor terrace……could have done it a couple of chairs. Roof top terrace with jacuzzi, great. Enjoyed our stay here but would not stay again. There is NOTHING within walking distance, not even a shop. There is a bar and restaurant on site but I found it expensive and uninspiring (it is independent of the hotel). We took taxis to the local supermarket to get supplies in and although we would have liked to eat out the cost of taxis to Benahavís, which I had been led to believe was only 1.5km away was €20 one way and the same for Estepona, which was further. We considered hiring a car but they were expensive unless we picked up from Gibraltar or Malaga airport and decided it wasn’t worth it for our needs. Something to consider, if you stay here is……there is nothing in the kitchen cupboards……when I have stayed at apartments before, people leave basic stuff they have not used, as we did. Such as salt, pepper, oil, cleaning stuff and lavatory rolls……..NOTHING…..you need to bring your own cleaning stuff or pay for a cleaning package! Don’t be put off….. just be prepared!

“Restful and relaxing stay”

Just home from a lovely week stay at Colina Del Paraiso. We decided not to hire a car - mainly due to us not being 💯 comfortable with driving on the other side of the road. It is doable but in hindsight a car would have probably enhanced the holiday for us (we will do this next time). But we made … more

Just home from a lovely week stay at Colina Del Paraiso. We decided not to hire a car - mainly due to us not being 💯 comfortable with driving on the other side of the road. It is doable but in hindsight a car would have probably enhanced the holiday for us (we will do this next time). But we made do with a few taxi’s here and there. All cabs were on a meter and only one driver took us on a ‘scenic route’. The accommodation is dated but at the price point we paid - I wasn’t too disappointed. The town house was huge! So much space inside and outside and a lovely Jacuzzi on the roof. We had house 15 which was close to the first pool and was very handy for popping back to have lunch or grab an ice cream. The stairs inside the house could have been a problem if the children were younger, but there was a banister to hold onto when coming down (being organised with towels and drying off etc is a must). They had the potential to be very slippy. Air con was absolutely freezing, being able to close the vents on certain rooms was great as one of the rooms got too cold in the nighttime, as soon as we closed the vent it was perfect! The staff were super helpful - when extra pillows were requested it was no problem, ordering taxi’s for us from and to the complex. We ate in the restaurant twice food was lovely. The fish at bbq night was fab and again the staff were attentive and friendly. Our towels were changed half way through our stay, along with fresh bed linen, bins emptied which we weren’t expecting, so that was a nice surprise. The cleaner kindly took all our recycling away with her too. No problems with the deposit which we were cautious of after reading the reviews. The room was checked when we handed the keys back and the £200 hold on my card was cancelled and a receipt was given to me there and then. I would be happy to recommend to my friends and return again (with a car).
