When we booked this hotel, we somehow thought it was in Marbella and right on the beach...we were wrong on both counts. It is in Casares (near Marbella) and is about a 5-minute drive up the road from the beach. No matter, it has its own private Beach Club with prompt shuttle service. While the Beach Club is beautiful with a wonderful restaurant and spectacular pool, the beach itself is very uninspiring. As far as the hotel property, the grounds are stunning and the rooms are immaculate, with...

6 day relaxing and casual vacay and it was wonderful. The Vincci staff were fantastic - everyone was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The hotel is modern, outside areas are great with service and nice amenities. Gym and spa facilities are pretty basic but well maintained. Breakfast was fabulous and being able to sit outside under umbrellas overlooking the ocean was a major plus. Location is about 45 min taxi to Marbella, less to the center of Malaga. Old Town Benalmadena is 15 mins away with...

This is a wonderful place for a dream vacation. Unfortunately, we messed up our dinner choices for New Years and a few other nights. We didn’t realize that the Hotel had a sister property with more restaurants. We stayed at the better property but I wish that we had known about the sister property for New Years and more restaurant choices

Highest level of excellence across every category. Staff is not just friendly but very well trained and you can tell the extra care taken in recruiting the best staff. The quality of the rooms and the facilities were top notch. Excellent food in the restaurants on the facility, pools, spa and gym all brand new post the 45 mil euro rennovation. Highly recommend.

Property is absolutely beautiful and service is very good. Staff assisted us on many matters. Even after we checked out and ran into some issues with local rental car company, due to language barriers, we reached out to La Zambra for help and they tried their best. It is conveniently located in the middle, Malaga to the east, Marbella to the west and Ronda to the North. Mijas is 20 minutes drive up the hills.

I stayed at El Pilar last March and returned for one night because of the service, location and beautiful property. The front desk is always helpful and always wear a smile. The recognized I had been there in March, so check in was easy. The roof top bar is awesome as is a light breakfast downstairs.

Hotel was elegant with extremely attentive, friendly, helpful staff. We felt very welcome. Room was spectacular with ocean view and balcony. Grounds were spacious and welcoming with palm trees and beautiful foliage. Huge indoor pool and huge outdoor pool plus its own beach. Plenty of room for everyone to swim, sunbathe, sit and relax with food and drink inside and out. Bar area inside and out was huge and they have entertainment every night. We saw a flamenco show one night, next night was live...

Clean friendly staff amazing atmosphere the staff were exceptional very friendly. The rooms were always clean. The place is amazing, the old town is one of spain's marbles and the port is just a 10 min walk close to the hotel are exceptional restaurants, the beach is very close as well. It's just a 10 euros taxi to puerto banos or to funky Buddha. Certainly going there again and again and again. Thank you la villa marbella team.
