Cortijo Del Mar Resort

Apartment was firstly spacious The biggest issue is that we paid for a private collection apartment and a private pool. We were told the pool would be open on Tuesday - fine as it’s April but with warm weather! Then we were told that it won’t be open - so we have paid extra for a private pool we can’t use! The hotel reception are so unhelpful and really just didn’t care. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such awful and u welcoming customer service

This area is very good for staying for the long vacation. It is easy to access any destination of Andalucía

We visited as a family staying in a 2 bed apartment. We knew it was a residential area as we had friends staying at their family villa 5 mins up the road so they were able to direct us to the local restaurants. The apartment we stayed in was well equipped with great air conditioning, we rented it privately so didn’t have cleaners for the week. The pool itself is a good size, but could do with more sun-beds & umbrellas for the amount of properties on the sight. Also, as there is grass around the pool it could get quite muddy. Something we observed was the lifeguards taking peoples sun-beds & giving them to those without a bed if you left it too long. You might think this a good thing, but you should be able to go for lunch or a swim in the pool & come back to your sun-bed! Twice I saw a family of 4 came back to 1 bed. We ate several times at the pool cafe/bar Kambalaya & the food was always delicious. The staff are very friendly there too. We did hire a car. There are plenty of supermarkets close by. We drove into Estepona port one night & Puerto Banus, both not too far. We did try to walk to the closest beach, but it’s over the main road walkway & it’s a bit of a building sight at the moment so you need to drive to find a better one. About 10mins walk down the road there are lots of lovely local restaurants. We ate in Cabana, Lola’s, Sushi House & la Grappa & would recommend them all. We also had drinks in The Victoria & Albert pub, which had a pool table & kept our teens happy. Overall a relaxing stay.

Spotless apartment that catered for our every needs. Perfect and super comfortable.

Thankful for a lovely stay at Corjito Del Mar! Ellie at the snack bar made our poolside experience particularly exceptional. Very thankful to have found this gem, will definitely be back 😊

We recently stayed at Cortijo del Mar Resort, and it was a complete disaster. I highly recommend avoiding this place, especially during the summer season. Here's why: 1. Lack of Beach Umbrellas: For an entire resort, they only have nine beach umbrellas by the pool. Nine! With 9 of us in two families, we had to camp out at the pool from 9 AM just to secure one measly umbrella. This is unacceptable for any resort, especially one claiming to be a "luxury" destination. 2. Rude Residents: On our last day, despite being at the pool since early morning, a resident showed up at 5 PM and decided to invade our space. When we politely approached her, she became incredibly rude, and her family joined in, creating an uncomfortable and hostile environment. It was absolutely shocking and made us feel unwelcome. 3. Hygiene Issues: The pool was CLOSED on our second day because someone had defecated in it. Yes, you read that right. 4. Tired Apartments: The apartment we stayed in looked nothing like the photos advertised online. It was tired and lacked the "luxury" we were promised. It was a major let down and not worth the money at all. 5. Unhelpful Management: When we raised our concerns with the manager, he was completely indifferent and basically said there was nothing he could do. Customer service was non-existent. Overall, this was one of the worst holiday experiences we've ever had. Save yourself the disappointment and stay somewhere else. We will never be returning to Cortijo del Mar Resort.
