The outdoor pool is heated and we were allowed to use it at night and very early morning which was brilliant. Staff were very helpful and friendly and go out of their way to resolve any issues. Breakfast was very fulfilling and the fruit so fresh and sweet. Hot options and bakery food were substantial. Rooms are spacious and everything is thought of; from extra toothbrushes and paste, vanity kits and chocs by the bedside. So many restaurants within a stone throwaway and just off the Promenade and beach. Perfect location. We went to another city and came back just to spend some time at this hotel. The train station is 15 minutes walk away and from there 20 minutes into Malaga itself.

Fantastic hotel!! Perfect location in the heart of Ronda. Across the street from the Bull ring, restaurants, shopping and of course the famous bridge. Staff was excellent and the spa and breakfast was a highlight.

The large bed and pillows were very comfortable and the shower was powerful and warm. The room was cleaned frequently. The breakfast was fine but all hot food got lukewarm warm quickly. The pool was nice but not enough beds. Usual towel wars in the morning. This is a spa hotel but you only get one hour between 4-5pm for free use of the steam room. Outwith that it’s €50 per hour!! The rooms have zero soundproofing and you can hear all traffic and people moving around, and snoring, above, below and to the side. There were road works going on directly outside the hotel hindering access but more importantly waking us up before 0800 each day (except Sunday). The hotel was asked about it but their response was to contact the government. It was as if the workers just turned up and they weren’t notified! They wanted nothing to do with it and certainly didn’t put anything out on their website as this would obviously cause a dip in bookings. Would I stay again? No!

We had a lovely stay in this hotel. We could not fault anything. Breakfast was great too. Great location. I would go back for sure. I would recommend this hotel to my family and friends . Thank you

Excellent stay. Good location, Outdoor warm pool, STAFF,

Great boutique hotel in a central location just a couple of minutes walk from the beach and about 10 minutes walk from the old town centre. Comfortable rooms, lovely staff, great breakfast and a lovely outside area with 3 jacuzzis and a heated pool.

The Essence is amazing. The staff, food, and property are excellent. The gym could use updating. This is our fourth stay and we'll be back.

Lovely hotel, enjoyed

Not quite the quality I would expect for this price point. 50€ deposit actually charged to credit card on registration. Twice housekeeping came in in the early morning. Breakfast was actually quite good except they had 3 types of margarine and no butter.

Good evreting
