i visited this hotel a few years back when it operated under the name, fuerte estepona so we decided to return. we stayed a night, sat to sat and having returned a few days ago, i wish to point out that it was below my expectation. this hotel has so much potential. when we checked in i asked for private parking which costs €20 which i understand but the offer you a package for €30 which also includes kids club, padel tennis amongst other things. i had never heard than an hotel charges you extra for kids club or padel tennis. on the topic of kids club, there were no announcements of activities taking part. we were not informed of where the restaurants where or what time the breakfasts was. after a windy day on saturday, we ate on our sunbed which is quite nice. however, prices are a bit expensive. there is an extra charge as they take the food to you. however, once you are done, they won't come to clear up. after 2 hours i decided to take it back to the bar as the wind was blowing everything away and they were aware but decided not to do anything about it. staff is walking around sunbeds waiting for you to place orders but that is it. there was only 1 lift operating which can be quite annoying. the staff was either new or way under-trained. i dont think i will be returning to this hotel for the rate you pay.
