Estepona Holiday Hills

Second time at the Estepona Holiday Hills. Both times we took top floor apartments with views over the sea. They are beautiful, well designed, all white clean lines and super clean. Town is close use Uber and they come to your apt within 5 mins. The pool bar staff are great and a big asset to the resort. My only criticism this year is that the management have made a really strange call. They have wrapped a fence around the pool, not opening it until 11am. The chat is that it is due to Spanish laws. Absolute nonsense. Kind of spoils it for me. Used to have some super cool little seats, still in their website bio by the way. Would I come back next year…Yes…But if the management team listen then they need to sort it out.

Holiday Hills in Estepona offers a vacation stay that is both super complex and incredibly relaxing, bringing care and high standards with stunning natural beauty. Situated no more than 3km from the beach in the Andalusian landscape, this is a luxurious experience featuring beautiful designed villas and apartments, each boasting modern amenities and elegant interiors that fit with the surrounding scenery. We truly enjoyed personalized service that was always so friendly. The expansive grounds offer lush gardens, serene pools, and panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, creating a tranquil atmosphere perfect for relaxing. With its sophisticated comfort, great service, and beautiful surroundings, it stands out as a premier destination for an unforgettable vacation experience. 10/10..... definitely worth a visit.

Firstly it was very disappointing to receive a text before arriving saying that the authorities had given permission to re-open the pools but that the “community” had not yet done so. In fact it was suggested the “community” may in fact be about to restrict opening hours when eventually reopened. In our final days they started offering complimentary transfers to beach or into town to make up for the pool issue. This is a secure complex in the hills with a 5-10 minute taxi ride down to Estepona. Welcome by reception was warm and helpful. The apartments are modern (mainly privately owned?) and to a very good standard . Some views are great. Powerful shower (despite the drought) and modern facilities for self catering and a huge balcony. Shame that not a single thing is provided to start the self catering experience (drinking water? Salt? Pepper? Cooking oil?). As it happens we weee too busy to cook. On the downside they seemed to have a bit of an ant problem. On site there was what seemed a popular and well equipped fitness area with outside courts and a cafe, a small pricey shop, and beside the main pool a bar that served decent drinks and food at reasonable prices (sadly quiet due to the pool being closed). Other than that it’s probably more “community” than holidaymaker focused. Nice but probably would stay in the Town if back in the area.

The apartment is great! The pool is fantastic. The level of quality is above average. But there is a big BUT: the apartments are extremely noisy. Especially if people are sitting on the balcony. You hear every door and toilet flush. The neighbors were talking and laughing out loud and it felt they were in the public hallway in front of our door. But they weren’t. They were in their apartment. Sliding chairs, walking or kids running above you… you hear it all until early in the morning. The location is beautiful. Very good gym (although you have to pay for it.) And you have to pay for cleaning which you have to book early as it is too busy. The other guests are a bit more civilized than where we were last year in Estepona. It has a higher standard. It is such a pity that it is so noisy. If you book this be sure you are in one of the top apartments. You might suffer less of the noise.

We stayed here in sep.22 for one week. We absolutely loved it! The appartement is new, modern, spacious. The view from our appartement was towards Estepona and the small pool, which was very nice. The kitchen provided everything you need to make your own meals. Supermarket is a 5 minute drive from Holiday Hills. There was one restaurant opened during our stay, but there was plenty of choice and prices were reasonable. Towel and linen change was 1x per week, which was enough. No need for cleaning after checking out, that is provided for. Make sure to bring kitchen towels etc, they are not included. Reception staff very nice and willing to help. You can also buy tickets to use the very large fitness area at the terrain (€5,- p.p. per visit). There is a washer / dryer combinaton in the pantry behind the kitchen. Also iron and iron board are covered! Enough swimming pools for your entertainment. Location very good for exploring the surroundings of Andalusia. We will definitely come back here!

A very special weekend, spent in a spacious apartment with superb sea views. Modern and comfortable rooms, spacious and well-decorated common rooms with access to a communal lawn. Very quiet location, extremely helpful and friendly staff. An experience to be repeated, especially in the off-season.
