Absolutely delighted with the truse 5 star experience at this hotel for 4 star prices. I do not understand how they ca charge comparitively so little for such a comprehensive offering. This was probably the first time I have never had to complain about anything at a 5 star resort. Believe the hype it is all true I promise. We are in a deluxe suits (room 201) that is about 800 sq ft of clean, quality opulence plus our own private 400 sq ft sun terrace. All this for E270 ! Totally impressed and will be back. Book through AMEX Centurion for free room upgrade,late check out,free lunch at La Loggia,free spa voucher,free breakfast and a fabulous extravagant time in the clasiest joint in Marbella. Padierna eats the Marbella Beach Club and the Punte Romano for breakfast - price and value cannot be beaten anywhere in Europe. The nearest I got to the luxury shown hee was at The Wynn Las Vegas,(that didn't have nearly as much charm as this Southern Spanish gem). Highly recommended you will not be disappointed whatever yoiu are used to I assure you! Well done Villa Padierna and many thanks for an incredibly good time!

This hotel is like my dream Spanish villa, but better since everything is done for you. The location is a little hard to find but once there the views and the surrounding area is some of the prettiest in all of southern Spain. You can pull up right outside of the main entrance and two ushers immediately start to help you with your luggage. The staff here are all extremely friendly and the hotel room (even in standard format) was superb - perhaps the best I have ever stayed in.

I would never even consider booking a different hotel if I was staying near Puerto Banus ever again, this hotel is simply superb! Also for this level of luxury and a stunning hotel the price can only be described as cheap as chips!!!

This hotel has everything and more. Beautfully laid out in Italian Villa Style with calming fountains and statues amongst the hotels corridors and patios. Overlooking the golft course and distant sea view the hotel is situated at the back of the resort with a 17 euro taxi ride into Puerto Banus. Our room was huge with a large bathroom which we did find out had been upgraded for us as the hotel was relatively quiet. We were extremely luck to have wonderful weather and able to lounge around the pool in the sun which was a bonus. The spa pool is lovely and warm and is complimented by a room to sit and relax in further down the corridor which as there are no loungers around the pool area were welcome. Staff are helpful and the restaurant although five star prices offers lovely views over the golf course. All in all this is a tranquil retreat well worth the forty minute taxi drive.

Beautiful hotel, perfect service. Lovely spa.

I booked transport from airport on hotel website - but be wary they will charge you more for a 'private car' unless you specify the 23 euros cheaper taxi. (I queried this and the front desk duly reduced the rate for me.)

Food for vegetarians is limited. And as others have noted the hotel is not within walking distance of anywhere.

Sat TV includes BBC 1 & BBC 2.
