We were only here for a short time but we enjoyed it. ( January 2025 ) The hotel has a great location right on the beach. We easily parked in the hotel parking lot. We had an incredibly spacious room (Junior suite) with a beautiful view of the sunrise. Very friendly staff ready to help all the time.Delicious food with large selection. Yes the hotel and the equipment are a bit dated and some parts could need some renovation but we were very satisfied and we definitely recommend it. Thank you . 👍👍👍

We booked a double room with sea view. Rafael at the reception gave us a very good room on the 4th floor (we will definitely come back to stay again) with a view of the pool and the beach. Breakfast was awesome with a lot of variety and the staff was warm and friendly. We used the spa facilities and this was also good. They have a nice boardwalk on the beach which is a wonderful walk to Estepona town. Overall a fantastic experience and we will definitely come again for a relaxing holiday!

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.

I used the spa. And booked 2 amazing treatments Javier was my masseuse He was fabulous I would definitely recommend him Lovely quite Rooms to relax
