Hotel Vincci Selección Aleysa

Benalmádena Costa

10/10 Excellent

6 day relaxing and casual vacay and it was wonderful. The Vincci staff were fantastic - everyone was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The hotel is modern, outside areas are great with service and nice amenities. Gym and spa facilities are pretty basic but well maintained. Breakfast was fabulous and being able to sit outside under umbrellas overlooking the ocean was a major plus. Location is about 45 min taxi to Marbella, less to the center of Malaga. Old Town Benalmadena is 15 mins away with...

Finca Cortesin Hotel Golf & Spa

Casares

10/10 Excellent

When we booked this hotel, we somehow thought it was in Marbella and right on the beach...we were wrong on both counts. It is in Casares (near Marbella) and is about a 5-minute drive up the road from the beach. No matter, it has its own private Beach Club with prompt shuttle service. While the Beach Club is beautiful with a wonderful restaurant and spectacular pool, the beach itself is very uninspiring. As far as the hotel property, the grounds are stunning and the rooms are immaculate, with...

Gran Hotel Miramar GL

Málaga Centro

10/10 Excellent

This was the most beautiful place I have ever stayed in in my entire life! It was a palace. It had beautiful history. It had a saltwater pool! The staff was absolutely impeccable. Beyond friendly, they made me feel like I was genuinely appreciated and the breakfast was something to behold. The next time I visit Malaga I will only stay at the Miramar. I literally miss the staff already! I could not recommend it more. Luxurious. Bvlgari products in the rooms! I felt like the darn queen of England....

Palacio Solecio, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World

Málaga Centro

10/10 Excellent

The hotel staff was by far the most professional and attentive out of the six hotels we stayed at during our trip to Spain. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Carmen, who not only gave us a quick tour of the hotel, highlighting its historical features, but also helped us choose some fantastic local restaurants. She even assisted us in planning a memorable day trip to the beach in Marbella. Alexandro and Daniel were equally outstanding, helping us with parking, carrying our heavy luggage,...

La Zambra Resort Mijas - Marbella The Unbound Collection By Hyatt

Mijas

10/10 Excellent

Property is absolutely beautiful and service is very good. Staff assisted us on many matters. Even after we checked out and ran into some issues with local rental car company, due to language barriers, we reached out to La Zambra for help and they tried their best. It is conveniently located in the middle, Malaga to the east, Marbella to the west and Ronda to the North. Mijas is 20 minutes drive up the hills.
