TRH Paraiso Hotel Estepona

As a regular at the El Paraiso for over 25 years, I always enjoy my stays. Not a luxury hotel, but offers really good value for money, especially for this part of the coast. In a quiet location, 10-mins west of San Pedro & 15-mins from Puerto Banus, it is situated 1-mile up hill from the Crowne Plaza & Benavista and has great 180-degree views of the coast, all the way to Gibraltar. The outdoor pool & gardens are great for relaxation, plus indoor pool, sauna and hot-tub. Ask for a room on the 4th or 5th floor, overlooking the pool. It is not a 'lively' hotel and that is one of the reasons I return; it enables me to chill out and recharge my batteries in pleasant surroundings. A car is probably essential here. Also, there are some good restaurants at the bottom of the hill and the hill is rather steep (especially on the way up!). For a real treat, try the Ramos Restaurant, 5-mins walk from the hotel. EUR120 for two will give you a dinner to remember (3 courses, wine, aperitif & coffee).

we thought it was excellent, the only thing is i thought we were going to view the pool and gardens from our room but instead we were looking at the mountains. the food was good and the wonderful gardens roses leading to the pool was a delightful sight, there was a heated pool and jacuzzi. the weather was gorgous so we used the exterior large pool, good value recommended.

Reported room tv as out of order. Problem looked into same day, but tv still remained unwatchable due to poor reception.

We were very impressed with this hotel. The staff were always very friendly and helpful and available 24 hours. The hotel was very clean and the whole atmosphere was relaxed. The hotel had entertainment every evening although we never managed to experience it ourselves. There is a lovely cocktail bar on the top floor which opens late and givs excellent views. The hotel is set back form the main road and proved difficult to find (but that was our faught as we didnt plan well before hand and ask for directions). Overall we had a very pleasant stay - fantastic value for money and would recommend.

L'hotel necessita di ammodernamento, più che un 4* sarebbe un 3*sup. Ampio parcheggio gratuito, personale cordiale alla reception, stanze ampie ma in alcune mancava il frigo-bar e/o il telecomando della TV. Colazione piuttosto scadente. Ideale per giocatori di golf poichè l'hotel si affaccia direttamente su un campo, non è vicinissimo al mare.

Lo mejor de todo la amabilidad del personal del hotel. Es ideal para familias y enclavado en un entorno muy tranquilo y con unas vistas excelentes. Lo peor es la cama con un colchón mejorable y las almohadas que son de terror. En general, buena valoración.

Hôtel qui aurait besoin d'un gros raffraichissement. Tout date du début des années 80. Cependant, piscine agréable. Bon petit déjeuner. Le dîner était très décevant car 22€ / personne pour un buffet : les prix n'étaient pas indiqués et nous n'avons quasiment rien mangé.
