H10 エステポナ パレス(H10 Estepona Palace)

Beautiful surroundings, architecture, and rooms with friendly service. I love the comfortable, white-washed room with a balcony and sea view. My only complaint is that there are no authentic Spanish restaurants in the vicinity; the 25€ buffet dinner will become monotonous if I have to eat it every day. The “heated” swimming pool was also too cold for my liking, but sunbathing in the lush pool garden was still worth it.

First time in the area, amazing infrastructure close to the highway. In summer probably is something close to the paradise.

Dated property. Rooms had no coffee machine, would have to rent for 18€a day if wanted. To use an iron or steamer you had to pay a deposit. At the restaurant they charge you for a glass of water. Dinner only option is a less than mediocre buffet. Lunch was sit down and fairly good. There is absolutely nothing around the hotel so to get any good food you need a car or to use taxi.

Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Food good. Great facilities. Really friendly and helpful staff

Hotel is old and tatty, no complimentary water in room. No iron, only steamers that you can use. Basically they want to force you to use the ironing service which is expensive. Certainly not a good four star hotel. More like 3 star plus. Paid over the odds for this hotel in October. Won’t be coming back.

The hotel is on the water and it has easy access also to AU7. Breakfast is excellent and I highly recommend taking this option as there is no coffee maker in the room. I was surprised that they charged me for using the safe box. This is a 4star hotel and you would expect that it be included in the price. Parking was €15 a day and there were some empty spots to park outside. However, the street is super narrow.

Where to start? About $400/night in little Estepona, certainly not Marbella. We arrived in room, no coffee maker, no water…ok, can live with that. But theft-proof fifty cent hangers?!? Painted shrubs? Ca. 1975 scratched-up furniture? No. Also, in fifty years of world travel, I’ve never seen a daily charge for the use of the room safe! Wife went on terrace to relax and closed door behind her and was LOCKED OUT! If she had no phone, she would have had to scream for help. Just imagine. Hotel’s entry driveway choked with cars and we were trapped behind these selfish slobs for 20 minutes. Management response? “Family checking in - no problem, senor.” No bellman, no one controlling this parking disaster. Food was just ok, buffet style, corporate cafe ambience. Ugggh. When we tried to eat in the separate table-served dining room, we were very, very rudely told “NO TABLES!” Same surly attitude from most of the staff. Tried to get a bucket of ice at the bar to chill a bottle wine: “NO BUCKET!” Only a plastic glass of ice at a time! And though I love children, organized kids’ activities go on at all hours, even dinner, at ear-splitting volume. An absolutely hopeless hotel not worth $200/night. Entire staff and management should be summarily fired and the hotel sold to someone who knows what they’re doing. Please! Meantime, pay whatever you have to but DON’T stay at this disaster

This is a great hotel in a fantastic location. It is a 20 min walk to the Marina and a 40 min walk to the centre of Estepona & Taxis were easily got through reception and cost ~€7 to get into town. The all-inclusive drinks selection was top class- we loved that we there was a gluten free beer included in this selection. The room was lovely, bed was very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic- it was an over bath shower but that was fine for us. Others have mentioned the sun lounger situation, Yes, people go down early and pick their spots, but there are always plenty of beds for everyone. The pool attendants bring more out as they are required. There is also the option of using the beds on the beach which was only a few meters away. Having a water dispenser and encouraging people to use re-fillable water bottles & also giving re-usable plastic beakers for poolside drinks rather than disposable cups/glasses were great example of the Hotels "Green" initiatives. Some areas for improvement- The pool bar was chaotic at times. While everyone was working very hard (shout out to Alejandro) you always had to wait an extremely long time to get served for food or drink. The buffet restaurant had a great selection but no allergens identified. They were more than happy to walk us through the Gluten free oevery meal (Thanks Mabel) & the options were plentiful once pointed out. For breakfast there really should be a selection of Gluten free items available to choose

Good location and nice view. Simple breakfast buffe compared to other hotels I stay at in Spain.. Not really impressed. Staff was friendly.
