We have all absolutely loved our stay here so much. So many of the staff go the extra mile. Our daughter loved the kids club, which is amazing and the staff there are all so lovely. Children cannot be bored here. The reception manager was very helpful and one of the chefs went out of his way to make us a vegan pasta dish with vegan pesto which was delicious. The hotel is beautiful with excellent facilities. The bar and restaurant staff are fab too. Loved the lady in the snack/gift shop too, who was so sweet with our daughter. We would definitely come back here again in a heart beat and can't wait to do so. 😀 😊

If you want to feel like pigs in a pigsty. I recommend you choose this hotel. Expect to be trapped. Paid parking. There was no mention of any fees when booking on the hotel's official website. Our room was directly above the kitchen hood outlet. A really disgusting experience and we paid extra for a view of the ,,garden". The staff at the front desk were rather rude. Next time we'd rather go to the homeless on the beach. The hotel is very shabby and deserves more investment. The Parole dining room is a pigsty. The rating does not correspond to reality.

An incredible weekend getaway with my entire family in the hotel. From housekeeping to the restaurants, everything was absolutely impeccable. The animation staff made it an experience even more memorable. Big shoutout to Raul, Sara, Jaime, Antonio and Sergio from the animation department. Thank you for a job well done 😊

They charged 7 euros for a bucket of ice. (????) The sliding door to the veranda was always getting stuck. My youngest got food poisoning. The hotel was invaded by squeely girls' sports teams. Like, a lot of them. The parking was 11 euros a day. Parked outside. The beach was mediocre at best. No spa. No indoor pool. The staff was very friendly (except for one lady in the restaurant who seemed to have a vendetta against us). The room was clean (except for the sliding door/french windows) There was a lot of variety in the food (although some was clearly reheated and soaked in oil or some other kind of fat). Don't recommend full board. The hotel was close to Estepona and Marbella.

Very disappointed stay. After having a long drive from Malaga airport, we reached the hotel, only to find out that even though we had booked a XTRA Sol Suite Sea View, we had been allocated in a room on the 3rd floor where you could see more of the parking view and less of the sea. We stayed for Semana Santa , to experience the Spanish Easter and relax. We had to complain only to find out that there was another room on the 6th floor. They told us that in two days they can have another alternative for us. When we went to reception after two days, they told us that they have gave this room to someone else. Terrible service. There where a school or athletic club staying at the hotel, and they were screaming and running in the corridors. When you wanted to use the lifts, you couldn't because the kids were pressing all of the buttons of the elevator. When housekeeping attended the room, she left the bottle of waters at the table. There was actually no water left and neither she replaced it nor through them. When we were going at the breakfast area, the first two days, none asked for our room number and we are wondering why we paid to have breakfast inclusive if none is checking that. We order at the lobby bar, and the food took 25 minutes to arrive. It was already prepared meals, from the fridge which were just heated up. Very disappointed taste. In general this hotel is either for school trips or for people who don't care how much money they spend and what service they get in return. We don't recommended for couples. Reception team needs more training for sure.

This hotel didn't do it for my wife and myself I'm afraid. Certainly clean and tidy. Our room was perfectly acceptable but our bathroom was outdated. The shower / bath was dangerously slippery and although we asked for a bath mat on two occasions we didn't get one. What was really annoying were the drinks and snacks. We arrived mid-afternoon after a long days travel. With that we went to the bar (after sitting for close to 15 minutes) and ordered two toasted sandwiches. BOTH came out stone cold yet burnt to a crisp and you could see where they'd scraped the toast to try and clean up the appearance. As we'd only been in the hotel 30 minutes we were reluctant to complain already! Also, really, REALLY annoying that you can't buy a bottle of water. Ask for water in the restaurant and you get server an open top glass bottle and charged €2.75 - even if you only want a drop. I'd be sure any you don't drink is topped up and sold to the next person! Also, we were told by the barman (Jesus) that the ONLY gin and tonic costs €10.5 "Whatever the size" he said! Contrary to what the Spanish believe about us Brits we don't ALL want huge drinks - a normal G&T at a reasonable price would have been fine. On the more positive side the pool was good with plenty of sunbeds.

We had left a disastrous villa and were saved by Diego(reception) and his team. They couldn’t have been more welcoming. The hotel was wonderful, the kids loved the pool and the buffet breakfast/evening meal. We will return.

Margaret Noon

We have now spent three holidays here knowing the high quality of service and care we receive from all the staff. Only having to walk down the hotel steps onto the beach, access to nearby bus stop, underground car park and within walking distance of a lovely market makes it an ideal location.

Anne Davies

Lovely well presented hotel. Friendly helpful staff. High level of cleanliness. Nice outside areas. Room spacious with amazing sea view. Food good quality and good variety.

Nicolas Leal

A very nice big front sea hotel & Spa , well located near Estepona. We had a charming stay beg. of April, which was not too crowded. Not sure if we would have had such calm in high season given its size. A special MERCI to Angélique at the Reception desk who gave us many tips to explore the area and eat with the locals. Many activities for families and large spacious room for meals ( the same for breakfasts and dinners), nice Spa area with massages, haircutter, fitness. Parking spots not so numerous in the hotel, careful in high season. Very nice location to navigate to Gibraltar, Tarifa or Ronda.

Fiona Howells

Lovely place great for children but could with more entertainment for the adults and activities for adults like pool aerobics and more entertainment at night for adults. Great food plenty of choice. The only downfall is that the towns are not walk away you have to get a bus which was about an hour and half away. But would come again maybe with Grandchildren.

Gemma Bignell

Very nice hotel very clean. Very safe for children to go round lots to do there. Staff very helpful and friendly, service was very good. Location could maybe a it better more to do at night time after the hotel entertainment. Maybe more toilet cubical but not to bad. Animation. Team were very helpful and kind. Especially Adrian, Pablo, Maria and Pela.

Nathanael and Anna Ayling

The waitresses, kitchen staff, reception staff, cleaners, entertainment team, bartenders, shopkeepers… All the staff are very friendly, laidback, and give you a genuine smile. The food is good, lots of variety. We enjoyed the themed dinners at the beach restaurant. The kids love the splash park and water slides! We had fun doing archery, tennis, football, arcade games, pool table, trampolining, using the gym, the kids disco … as well as, of course, lounging by the pool with cocktails! There is a beach but it’s not as nice as you might expect for the Med.

Morgan Bonney

Lovely hotel. Very clean and incredibly well maintained. Staff are a cut above, nothing is too much trouble and so friendly. Food is great, something for everyone and great mix of cuisines. Only issue was location as it is a bus ride to the nearest town. However there are supermarkets and several restaurants within a short walk.

We stayed at the Globales Playa Estepona the first week in October for 8 nights. We stayed in a high room in a quiet part of the hotel (as requested), The reception staff were fabulous, they were very happy to help. The room was a good size and clean . The food was plentiful and good , especially the outside barbecue. The location is a little out of the way, but the bus stop was just up the road . There were buses going into Estepona and Marbella . We will definitely be going back to this hotel.

Pauline Martin

Stayed here for a 3 night break Beautiful location 50 minute walk away from Estepona Town . Hotel was good. Had a garden suite which was really nice and clean and the bathroom was amazing. Buffet Breakfast very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will come back hopefully later this year

Manveer Panesar

Enjoyed our stay, staff were lovely and spa was fabulous. Paid for all inclusive so was a little annoyed that only the drinks in the mini bar are included, not snacks. Not enough veg options for food but the chef went out of her way to make sure there were special options available to us each night which was greatly appreciated!!!

Graham

Wow what a beautiful place and we're still here April 15th 2024. Staff amazing and friendly from toni & Gloria on reception to Maria & elena & Karen in the restaurant, food is top quality and beautifully presented each time, loads of places to be private and quiet if you wish, this is NOT though a adults only. Rooms immaculate and cleaned daily, all rooms are sea view only so that's good. We hired a car from marbosol and plenty of free space here to park it no charge, straight up the Ap7 road about 85km from malaga airport. Lovely spa area, you will not be disappointed. Some live music on some evenings.

Irina Sonich

Nice hotel by the sea. Friendly service. We stayed in the sea front room, which was large with the sofa and a terrace. The hotel is slightly dated and there was no body lotion in the rooms. Breakfast was good and had a variety of choices.

Óskar Bragi Sigþórsson

Absolutely fantastic staff! Super friendly and helpful front desk. The rooms are a good size with a good size shower and bath. The view of the Mediterranean was breathtaking, I couldn't wait for sunrise. The beds in our room could see an upgrade, the mattresses were very "soft" in the middle. The location is next to the main road into Espinosa, next to a roundabout, so traffic is not noisy. But you need a car. The pool area is amazing, but getting a drink or food served was a hassle, or impossible actually, so we went and got our own. The access to the beach is right behind the hotel, but the beach is stony. You need a bit of a walk to get to the soft sandy are. The breakfast has a huge selection of foods and good egg / omelette station. I wouldn't recommend the hotel for families with children. It's more for adults.

Went for a Spa Day and had a fabulous Neck, Shoulders and Back massage. Probably the best one I have ever had! My friends and I enjoyed sitting outside near the pool and enjoyed a light lunch before the massage. Super day. Beautiful place inside and out.

George Bazlamit

We did not stay here, just visited for drinks and tapas. Service was wonderful and the drinks were nice. Food was just ok.. The lobby was incredible, set in an incredible art deco style with a large table to the left of reception, that was incredibly decorated. High glass ceiling, massive bookshelf and several independent artist showcasing their works. The lobby is a place to see, then a short few steps to an outdoor dining area overlooking the pool. All in all a wonderful experience.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kempinski Bahia Hotel in Estepona, and it truly exceeded all expectations. The breathtaking views from the hotel are absolutely stunning, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for an unforgettable stay. The level of service provided by the staff is exceptional, with a genuine commitment to ensuring every guest feels pampered and well-cared for. From the moment I arrived, the attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of my experience. The luxurious amenities, combined with the warm hospitality, make Kempinski Bahia a top-tier destination for those seeking an indulgent and memorable retreat. Overall, a five-star experience that I highly recommend to anyone seeking a truly exceptional hotel stay.

Spent our Christmas Day here having booked the Buffet Christmas Lunch and so glad we did. It was excellent, tremendous choice of food. We were so well looked after, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back. Thankyou for making our Christmas Day so good.

Yasmin Chalmers

We held a company trip here for 75 people and the hotel were amazing from start to finish. They were really organised and catered to our specific requests. The food was great, meeting spaces were to our needs and the beach/poll area was lovely! Big thanks to all of the team that looked after us during our visit :)

Beautiful modern bohemian style, the hotel offers a luxurious service, all the staff are very friendly. The rooms very comfortable we slept like babies 😊 special recommendation to the MOI SPA, Medine took extra care of me with a warm friendly smile and Ludi worked magic on my body! I had an amazing time with the signature massage to make my stay even more enjoyable. Very happy guests from France and Mexico. Bisous

Lizeth Martinez

The hotel was very nice. The location was on a steep hill, further away from every other hotel besides the holiday inn. My husband and I ordered room service for breakfast twice and it was delicious. The room service food we got for dinner was good but breakfast was definitely better.

Patricia Tripp

I cannot fault this hotel at all. Its a really beautiful hotel. The rooms are spotlessly clean and are well equipped. The staff are amazing and cant do enough for you. The food is delicious and is fresh. The whole place is well looked after and beautifully decorated. I will not go anywhere else after staying here. Cant wait to come back soon 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice and new. They have some beautiful villas. Very close to main Bodrum about £3 taxi fare so if fancy nightlife then great. Good views over the bay. Not much beach, but can't have everything

Nilufar Zardova

We stay in Mett hotel for 4 days and it was great choose my Farst time experience with my husband in Bodrum so much beautiful view from our room and fresh water, and the breakfast was super delicious 😋 as well I want say thank you so much Barfin for your hospitality your very kindness I appreciate.

Christophe Giot

Fantastic staff and service! The food options are great and very tasty. There are a lots of activities for all the family. The pools were heated in October and that was very good. The only thing is about food and drinks wastage, there should introduce some sort of control to help improving the quality of some food ingredients.

We’re a recurring Ikos guest - which says a lot. 2018 @ Oceania, 2019 @ Aria, 2020/21 Covid stopped us, 2022 @ Aria and now 2023 @ Andalusia. And we were not once disappointed. If you look for a real luxury AI experience in Europe, for families, without being a (loud and overcrowded) family hotel, the this group is your choice. Full stop. We likes that at Andalusia everything is closer together than in the other resorts, making the ways shorter. But at the same time, even though the hotel was full, it was never crowded. An unbelievable number of great pool, bars and restaurants did ease it. There’s a few we want to mention particularly, although EVERYONE was great! Fefi @ Provence, extremely friendly, helpful, very caring about my allergies and as well funny; Celeste @ Checkin, making this a great start and taking care of us; Mihailo @ Fresco, very caring, practicing his German and accommodating; Vasilis and George @ Adult Cocktail Bar, they’re not just making awesome drinks, but are very social and nice to chat with; Konstantina @ Beach Club, making us feel really beloved guests; Konstantinos @ Anaya, at our daughters birthday party, making sure she feels like a little princess; Rodrigo @ Pool bar, had a cocktail learning lesson with our daughter and she loved it; Sophia @ Olivia, making sure there was no wish left open, even organized cinnamon for the churros; Maria (Supervisor) @ Fresco, fixing the forgotten birthday party for our daughter, making sure it felt like planned; The Whole water sports team on the beach, where we did a 1h jetski tour; we felt safe and they really accommodated us very well And big thanks as well to Timoleon the general manager. He recognized something small went wrong and took care himself to fix it. Thank you. We will be back!

Came here on a family holiday at the end of July. Best holiday I’ve been on yet, it was just unreal. So much to do, so many restaurants, so many events and just unreal views. Highlight had to be the Micheal Jackson tribute and the pool days. The main bar at this hotel is out of this world, and the service was unreal. Big shoutout to Petra, one of the waitresses at the main bar, she was great. Can’t wait to come back soon.

Alexander Penk

Fantastic luxurious family hotel with very high standards, great food, amazing kind service. A very beautiful hotel complex with different pools for kids but also adults only. Very nice range of different restaurants. Very good food selection for everyone. Beach just ok, as swimmings becomes hard due to the rocks. Still good enough to build sand castles with the kids. We had a great time as a family and will come again

Dr Khalid

This hotel is incredible!!. It is the best hotel we ever stayed at and the staff are at your service every minute. They were always friendly and went well and beyond to make our stay perfect. I stayed with my wife and 4 month old baby and the creche and babysitting staff looked after the little one so well. They had everything arranged for the baby including baby food, baths, cot selections etc. They also have an amazing selection of brilliant food. Ouza was the best restaurant. The food was even prepared with Halal meat specifically for us! They have a great Whatsapp service that reply almost instantly with restaurant bookings and any queries. The hotel is beach side and they also have an amazing scented pool and spa facilities.

Duncan McDonald

My wife and I are currently staying in this hotel and if you are contemplating a visit there are a few things you should be aware of. Miles from anywhere and if you are unlucky you may have a forty minute wait for the Estapona bus. If you don't speak Spanish forget the TV. If using the shower you take your life in your hands as once wet the shower base and tiled bathroom floor become skating rinks, bath mats are provided but anyone with common sense would have stipulated a textured base and floor tiles. We would come back as the staff are great and the hotel is very clean but bring plenty bandages.

Paula

Very unprofessional and rude old guy at the reception. Made us a way higher price then on booking (+20€) and when we said something he told us to leave and book through booking directly if we weren’t satisfied 😂 we have a really nice hotel now so thanks for that my friend

Sónia Rodrigues

It's an ok apartment hotel with a good size room and bathroom. The ground floor is very noisy when the suitcases wheels pass by.

Lynne Galloghly

Hotel was very clean, on the smaller side. The staff very good overall mostly cheerful and helpfull. We had the room with breakfast, breakfast was basic. Plenty of juice and coffee from the machine, in the breakfast room. The swimming pool very inviting and kept very clean and well maintained to high standard. If you want a quiet break you can do that in this hotel. If you are a light sleeper it may not be for you (loud traffic near by) Nice restaurants near by can really recommend the Steak out the staff so helpful food delicious. There's about 6 our 7 restaurants there, and little one tucked away in a walk through Tara makes a mean 🍸 cocktail and good coffee, also such a helpful Lady x

Michael Uwechie

Great location for it's purpose. The breakfast is definitely worth it and completes the package. The pool is amazing as well. Parking was right in front of the hotel. The only problem we had was the shower. As much as the bathroom is nice and new, there is nothing stopping the water from the shower flooding the entire bathroom, and if care wasn't taken the bedroom as well. Nice experience overall.
