A very pleasant Hotel, in a very pleasant location, with very pleasant staff. I have just returned from 6 days there, and overall I was pleased with the experience. The Hotel is in a fantastic location atop a hill, about 1 mile inland from the N340, and slightly more from the sea. Be aware, this is a gruelling walk, and... more

I really can't see how there are so many positive reviews for this hotel. This was our fifth year staying here but we only booked it again because we got a really good price including 3 games of golf. Maybe we should have been worried! This was definitely the last time we will stay here. The standards of the hotel... more

Arrived at the El Paraiso after flying from the UK on Hurricane Monday,no problems but im glad we were not landing in the UK ! Hotel is isolated so a car is essential and beware on the main coastal road as its a death trap,only one speed and thats FAST. Awkward roads where you have to go out of your... more

I stayed at the Hotel el Paraiso for 4 nights at the end of April 2007. We arrived on a monday and left on a friday. Although the hotel is a good bit of a drive away from the airport in Malaga, the drive isnt too bad at all. The hotel seems to be set in a quiet area and... more

I thought this hotel was excellent, although you definitely need a car if you intend to venture out. The resort of Estepona is a 20 minute bus ride away, and the bus stop is a 15 minute walk away... more

I have recently returned from a 5 night stay here, having booked a half-board deal on the internet as we knew it was fairly isolated, but completely fail to see why this hotel has had rave reviews. Whilst rooms were reasonable, our fridge did not work upon arrival, and after a short wait, a "technician" arrived, who inspected the fridge,... more

Have just returned from a week staying at the El Paraiso. We read some of the revues before booking some were good and others not so good, in my opinion the not so good's were wrong and maybe the expectation was too high. When we arrived the hotel, which was a bit of a find, the directions were not very... more

Amazing hotel in the hills of Paraiso, a village outside Estepona. Lovely and clean swimming pool; indoor pool & Jacuzzi. Dated exterior but rooms clean and roomy. Balcony facing the sea with amazing views of Gibraltar and Africa on a clear day. Breakfast buffet included. Need a car as a bit isolated and the signs are for El Paraiso Hotel,... more

.... since the last time we stayed when it was owned by Stakis, in the 1980s. Possibly a little more 'up market' then and it attracted several well known personalities, probably due to it being at the time, one of the few hotels associated with a golf course. However, lack of any redevelopment in no way diminished our enjoyment of... more
