Colina del Paraíso

Clean, quiet, lovely place to stay

Fourth visit to Colina del Paraiso, flying into Malaga then renting a car to get to the property. Apartments are clean, large and well equipped and with good aircon. Three pools to choose from. Tennis courts, football pitch, pool tables, bar and restaurant with great view. We had a car (you really need one if staying here self catering) and love this place as a base. Perfect.

We stayed at Colina del Paraiso for 3 weeks May/June 25. The apartment was spacious enough, the bed comfortable, the terrace large & the kitchen was modern. My favorite was the principal bathroom which was a great size and had double sinks as well as a walk-in shower and separate bath. The kitchen had only the very basics and we would have liked more towels provided as well as coat hangers. The decor was a bit tired and sparce.

Excellent, far above my expectations. 360 degree views from apparent, mountains and sea. Hire a car to make the most of the location.

We thought the staff were helpful, friendly and professional. Very spacious accommodation. Although not the cleanest, particularly the balcony/terrace area. Restaurant food in the evening was of a good standard. Breakfast was poor, especially if you are English!!?

1- The stuff more than amazing. 2- The service was very bad. 3- The apartment with the furniture so dirty need to be changed.

Booked this hotel many times. Just love it.

Peaceful locations away from busy tourist beachfront. Beautiful well-kept apartment and friendly helpful staff.

Staff were extremely pleasant. Restaurant setting and food quality were outstanding. Wifi could be better

Nice restaurant, good little gym, plenty of activities, kids club. Apartments and Town houses are spacious and fully air conditioned although decor is a little tired. Staff are really nice and will quickly attend to any requests.

All in all this property is good all round 4 Star complex. The Appartment/Houses are massive in terms of sqft and modern furnishings. We had House 38 with ‘hot-tub’ and views down the valley where from the roof top on a clear day you can see Gibraltar. Your surroundings are facing the Golf Course and some ‘££££ Villa Properties’! Staff where friendly, attentive and efficient. We had a few niggles with the hot-tub but all sorted. 3 large pools, family orientated complex and you need a car to get ‘out and about’. The complex restaurant (club house) and bar was a nice setting and reasonably priced with all amenities catered for. Some apartments have roof top pools - nice touch although the pools are well kept and big enough with sun loungers. Air Con was epic!!! But Wi Fi is ‘hit & miss’ although the pool Wi-fi was better connected for the kids. Pool bar opened mid mornings till around 8pm - reasonable priced and quick snacks. For evening entertainment the club house has some themed nights - we did the BBQ evening with live music; good food but thought it was overpriced for what you got. Drinks, deserts, coffees etc all extra. The ‘Star’ of the show is a small hill top village called ‘Benahavís’; 10 mins in the car, what not to like! Apparently it’s the unknown ‘Gastro-Centre’ of Andalucia and it matched its reputation. Wide choice of restaurants and bars all side by side and very reasonable priced when comparing Beach/A7 establishments. Good, alround property and location

A+ facility. Clean, helpful staff. Very modern apartments. Will definitely comeback again.

First of all, you need a car to access this place so this is rule #1. Rule #2 is that its impossible to find, GPS and mapping technology will be fairly useless. Now, on to the property itself. It sits on a very steep hill with beautiful (distant) views of the sea and Gibraltar, and the rooms are staggered down the steep hill. We were there before the summer season and the property felt a bit tired but this may be due to it being off season. The rooms are spacious but lacking a good "flow" (the rooms are all broken apart versus an open floor plan). The terraces are quite large. If there are folks above you, you will hear every single noise (ex, chairs along the floors, walking, etc) making for some bad night's sleep. The breakfast is basic and the restaurant is OK, a very pleasant atmosphere with a great view. The property is probably a lot nicer in the summer.. Bottom line: if you can score a great deal like we did, AND need lots of space this place is worth staying at. OR if are an avid golfer, this property makes sense. If neither of those apply, you are probably better off in a less isolated location closer to the action.

Great,would recommend this place comfortable clean

We have stayed here about 6 times since it opened we find that the accommodation is of a high standard and the staff go out of their way to meet your every need. The facilities are excellent with 3 swimming pools and tennis courts, also golf courses are near by. The one draw back is that when staying at the Colina you do need a car as it is situated in the hills and there is no public transport but then being in the hills you have such wonderful views seeing as far as Gibraltar. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great low key apartments with good on site pool. Staff were lovely and accommodation was in great condition and spacious. We travelled with a toddler and was provided with a travel cot and high chair at no extra cost. On site pools were lovely, safe and low key. Short drive to benhavis and the coast but a car is needed here. Ideal family accommodation. On site restaurant served basic nice food in a nice setting but food won't win any awards.as most of it came from a freezer it seems. Would stay here again.

It's up on a hill and therefore a car is required to get to shops, restaurants or the beach, but the view was beautiful and the Jacuzzi on the roof was the highlight of every morning for the kids. We are looking forward to returning.

fabulous, we have stayed all over the world and I didn't realise that this was on our door stop, will be going back hopefully soon!

quiet location and great views. clean apartment with parking, pools, restuarant and bar. Car/taxi needed. Roof top terrace views and jacuzzi fantastic. Great views of Gibralta and north africa.

An April stay at these apartments was excellent value for money. The weather was super and all the guests sufficiently spaced apart to maintain some privacy. I can imagine it would get very crowded at the height of the season, but it was ideal for us in April. The staff were extremely helpful and two minor problesm with equipment were very quickly resolved. It felt very safe and secure. Location was good. It was well signposted.
