Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Andalusia

Genuinely can’t rate this hotel highly enough. The value was excellent, rooms were lovely, so smart and so clean. We had Deluxe Rooms. Beds were huge and so comfy, complete black out too for sleep. Bathroom was fabulous, shower was great. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and nice. Valet parking, they offered to store our luggage while we went site seeing after we had checked out. The roof top pool is amazing, jacuzzi and bar service to the sun loungers, looking out over the bullring and Ronda countryside from the pool was incredible. Restaurant also has incredible views and great staff. Food was so good too. Perfect central position to stay at too for the local sites.

It is as advertised. Amazing view from pool, and outside bar area. The breakfast buffet is so good. The pool/sun deck is a great place to hang out. The rooms were so well done and comfortable. It is a large place, but feels so comfortable. Location is perfect. It was easy to park our car for unloading and loading across the street, then park in a lot close. Staff is great.

Lovely hotel. Unable to use outdoor pool as it was raining. No indoor pool, only jacuzzi, and there was no availability for us to use that whilst we were there.

We had an amazing two night stay at the Catalonia in the beautiful city of Ronda! Very friendly staff, spotlessly clean, best location. We were bumped up to a superior room which was very nice and very spacious. Only problem was a wall view but we weren't spending much time in the room. We ate in the roof top restaurant on one night overlooking the bull ring and watching the sun go down. The food and service were second to none ... a real treat! The infinity pool and hot tub, again overlooking the bull ring, was amazing with full waiter service to your sunbed! Breakfast on the roof terrace was excellent. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

The location is exceptional, the hotel was beautiful and clean, the bar and rooftop pool super nice. What we appreciated the most was the warm welcome from Inès at the reception...she gave us a beautiful room for my birthday and made sure l had a cake with a candle waiting for me upon arrival ! Then when we left, the adorable Antonio went to get our car from the nearby parking and helped us carrying our luggage to the car...all these little attentions made a huge difference and we were very touched by it. And what a city, what a view...spectacular !!

Location is perfect, just walking distance from centre. Roof pool area and room terrace with personal pool were fantastic. 5 star experience from 3 star hotel. Strongly recommend!

Great location, friendly helpful staff, free coffee and mini bar real good touch. Food and drinks by roof top dipping pool ( a bit bigger than a plunge pool, not quite big enough to actually swim in).

It was close to everything. Really nice place. We had the room with private pool. Really nice.

The location was excellent - near to Plaza El Merced and a short walk from other restaurants/attractions such as El Pimpi, the cathedral, Roman Ruins, Alcazaba and the castle. Bedroom was lovely and maintained every day. The pool was a real saviour after a busy day in Malaga and our day trips. The cabanas, sun beds, the pool itself and bar service was just what was needed. The hotel also provide fresh pool towels every day. We had breakfast when we did our day trips as we needed to be up early. Great value for 12 euros each and with a good selection. In terms of day trips, we recommend the Caminito del Rey, especially if you like hiking and adventure. Free tea and coffee throughout the day as well as a free mini bar that is replenished every day. Staff were very friendly and accommodating from the requested bottle of wine in the room on arrival to allowing us a free late checkout. Fabulous stay overall!!

Spotless clean. Great pool and pool towels. Fantastic central location. We stayed for 2 nights , had a late flight back .Stored luggage and staff could not be more accomodating , late check out and use of pool until departure. Also free mini bar in room .Tea and coffee available 24hrs. Great value for money . Would highly recommend .

breakfat and the pool bar food was excellent. The swim up room was excellent.

Location fantasic. Breakfast was excellent. The swim up rooms were amazing. Staff were excellent.

This hotel is amazing!! The attention to detail on the decor is incredible. They had beautiful state of the art pieces of art and furniture. The rooms are very big and beautifully designed with lovely sea views. They provide a free mini bar with water and soft drinks. They provide lovely toiletries, whatever conditioner they use my hair felt amazing after it! The pool is beautiful, calm and has an amazing view of the sea from the infinity pool. The bar offers lovely drinks. Breakfast was amazing, with so much choice and attention to detail. Lovely roof top bar! The staff were super friendly and provide us with towels so we could use the pool while we waited for our room to be ready. The location is just across the road from a beautiful beach with lots of restaurants near by too. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Cadiz! Out of the 6 hotels I stayed in on my trip this was by far the best!

Rooms good but style over function obvious in places. e.g. phone next to bidet, no soap. Bed comfortable, private patio with loungers with our sea view room. Cleanliness and obliging staff. Location on sea front. The pool bar was pleasant and food was good. The pool area was opened at a certain time by a staff member and this prevented the blocking of beds. Also during our stay there was more than enough loungers around the pool.

Loved the overall decoration and the art work throughout the hotel. Breakfast was good, pool area good and pool bar very good. Hotel was close to beach , bars and resteraunts. Good access to public transport (ride the number 7 to the old town and back along the sea front). Staff very friendly and helpful. Car parking facilities were OK (public parking below the hotel). Probably one of the best 4 stars you will encounter.

general all rounder. very nice hotel, friendly staff and amazing location . swim up was awesome.

The hotel is beautiful right on the beach which was great. We loved the pool area with a great pool. The rooms were spotless and were large and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner was delicious with lots of choice. Also the staff were friendly and professional. There are a couple of golf courses very nearby. A supermarket, shops and little restaurants 5 mins walk away. We were able to park our car in the hotel car park, maybe as low season. More parking in the shops opposite though. Nice indoor pool and jacuzzi too.

Check in with a complimentary glass of bubbles. Direct access to the beach, reasonable bar prices, great selection for the buffet breakfast, indoor heated pool as well as an outdoor pool.

Room : spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage space. The bathroom with bathtube was amazing. The AC didnt respond on controller commands, but we didnt suffer. The big balcony with rack and chairs were a great addition. Breakfast and Dinner : great selection of delicious food. Each time we ate so much we were on edge to explode. On tuesday there was some celebration, they gave a glass of nice wine to every buffet visitor and the food went extra with lobsters, caviar and oysters. Beach: great beach with marvelous sunsets. The path to the beach is unbelievable. The sand is full of shells which makes it a bit uncomfortable. In April the water was decent enough to swim. Pools and sauna: great big outside pool with plenty of space to lay and enjoy the sun. The sauna is small but amazing.

Amazing staff, good food and lovely pool in the room. Free spa facilities is another plus, however, there’s only one indoor pool and jacuzzi.

Everything. Excellent location, sparkling clean, prompt in answering all my queries. We stayed at the penthouse with private pool. It was so nice to have own little pool with private terrace. We absolutely loved our stay here.

Location very central. Staff very helpful. Very clean, big apartment, huge bed. Kitchen had all equipment if you wanted to cook. Terrace looked nice with plunge pool but we didn't use this. Lovely good size apartment with sofa bed.

Very clean and comfortable, the private pool was definitely a plus!!

Location was excellent. Private pool and terrace were very good

Location was exceptional. Communication with the hosts was via what's app and answered almost immediately. Airco was perfect, pool nice size ( penthouse private pool) and a huge terrace with lounges, sit areas and and stools. Teabags, coffee pod, oil and sugar, salt, dishwasher tabs provided. Good showers, small shop with everything on the corner. Storage lockers for arrival. €1 and you get it back

Friendly staff, comfortable room (especially bed) with everything you could need, great location and excellent breakfast. Great roof top, with a plunge pool to cool off.

The plunge pool was amazing after a hot day for a pre-dinner drink! Location is excellent for walking distance to everything.

Staff delightful, location superb and our room - with large terrace and plunge pool - was exceptional. We absolutely loved the hotel. Thank you 🙏

This was a beautiful hotel. My mum and I stayed here for 3 nights. The room was nice and big with kettle and a small fridge. Bed is comfortable and has a great location, easy walking distance from many sites. The staff were friendly. There is a very small pool in the roof, more a plunge pool. Could do with more shade up there by the plunge pool. Loved the artwork in the receptions, cool vibe, and works out to be a great price. Would recommend this lovely place.

Superb boutique hotel. Great location with some lively bars nearby. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived at 2pm so we went out sightseeing. When we got back our luggage was in our room along with a complimentary bottle of fizz in an ice bucket. Excellent air conditioner in room, comfy beds, but we were on the front of the hotel so we did get woken by noisy passers by on our second night around 3am. Fabulous rooftop bar, waiter remembered our drinks on our second visit. Great views from the upper terrace and there’s also a little plunge pool up there.

This was a really great hotel, opened only two years ago so everything felt pretty new. Staff were amazing, especially the beach bar and restaurant teams. Super friendly, appreciated my attempts at speaking Spanish and really added to make a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Two pools that we had access to, one big one and a smaller pool on a higher level. Both really good. Breakfast was solid, lots of options but liked that it wasn't piles of food that would go to waste. Overall I would give this hotel 5/5.

Beautiful hotel for rest and relaxation. A few restaurants a walk away and more in the older town area. Beds were a great size and very comfortable, also had a small fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. The pool is large and was very clean. The atmosphere around the pool was calm and relaxing. Good selection for breakfast.

Location, buffet, the smell, watering station, the view from pool, the pool area.

Staff was amazing very friendly and polite. Just couldn't do enough for you! We were allocated a room with a veranda with sun loungers just across from one of the pools. Enjoyed the privacy and the easy access to the pool. Brilliant! We also had lunch and dinner throughout our stay in the various restaurants and the food was incredible.

Loved the location with the garden and pool, and then the beach a short walk away. Was great for running / gym in the morning and then lounging by the pool for the day.

Our room was spacious and quiet with a really nice view overlooking the swimming pools and gardens. There was no crowd at the hotel, due to late September, and it was always very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed spending time by the pools and going for walks around. The sea is a bit further away (10 mins on foot) and, perhaps only at this time of the year, it was not very nice, with only one open restaurant in the walking distance. Maybe it is different when the main season is on. Altogether; we had a few great days at the hotel, the breakfast was also excellent, the staff was really kind. The weather was bright, sunny and still quite hot, though the water of the pools is chilly...

Our stay was fantastic!! The hotel is small-ish compared to other resorts we've stayed at but it was perfect. Comfortable beds, brilliant blackout curtains, quiet rooms, easy to get to by cab from Estepona or Marbella. The sun beds were super comfy - and there were fresh towels on each sun bed every morning! The pool was exceptionally clean and well tended to. The thing that made the hotel 5* really was the quality of the service. The staff were attentive, helpful, friendly and just wonderful. The Spa is a must-go to! The saltwater pool was amazing. Again, wonderful staff! My only feedback is that the spa should be open past 7pm. We were perhaps fortunate that we got to spa during a rainy day, but it feels a shame to go to the spa when it's so sunny, but an evening spa would be lovely. The restaurant is great too. Breakfast was fab - but €22pp per day, so not one for every day. Dinner didn't have an amazing variety, we didn't go there every evening but the paella and wine was great for a relaxing easy dinner in the hotel. The nearest beach isn't the prettiest or sandiest. Our recco would be to get a 15-20 min cab to Saladillo beach and stop by Pepe's beach chiringuito for a drink/food. Or Sonora Beach a little way off.

Spent a week at the Senator Banus & overall can find very little fault with it. The deluxe room, which I think is the hotels standard room, was spacious, clean (maids attended daily) & had a large balcony. The outdoor pool & its surrounding area was, again, clean, well maintained with adequate sun loungers a fact that was somewhat skewed by people who’d place towels on a bed in the morning & then not show for hours, if at all (this practice was being better policed by the hotel as our stay went on). The pool bar is a bit overpriced especially for cocktails but the service from staff is excellent, friendly & attentive. Had dinner in the hotel restaurant once & snack food at other times & the food was always very nice. The hotel itself is rather strangely located next to a very busy main road with clear sight of a number of restaurants & supermarkets across the way but, as you can’t (& wouldn’t) cross this road directly you need to walk maybe 10 mins up the road to use a pedestrian bridge. A strange set up & one which may cause issues for those with mobility problems. Overall I enjoyed my relaxing stay at the Senator Banus very much and would definitely consider returning in the future.

Just back from 10 days in this hotel. Stayed previously in 2019. Lovely to see some of the staff still working there. Stay was booked through On The Beach £2800 with flights/transfer. We upgraded to a Duplex penthouse suite for an amazing extra €1000 (saving €6000!). Fabulous views, two huge terraces, jacuzzi etc etc. We walked 60miles in our time there. Local bus to Estepona €2.10. The noise of the motorway is what it is but can’t be heard from the hotel rooms or pools. 3 foot bridges over it, loads of good places to eat. Hotel does food too and a lovely poolside bar. Breakfasts have so much choice. Staff are absolutely fabulous. It’s a shame it closes November because weather remains warm (we had 25-30C no rain or wind) - I suspect it’s a Company decision to save money, which is a shame for the staff.

We are currently on our 3rd day stay here and all I can say is I highly recommend this hotel. The staff are fantastic, so helpful and will do anything they can to accommodate all our needs. Sun beds super comfy and towels left freshly ready for use, pool attendants constantly taking away used towels and replacing them. Two lovely pools and the breakfast is amazing every dietary requirement catered for. We are staying in a suite and it’s lovely to have two rooms and a huge balcony with loungers and table and chairs. We are travelling with our adult daughter and she has a comfy pull out double sofa. The little touches are great, iced water and sparkling wine in the reception area, little treats in our room. We will definitely be back. 5 stars to the amazing staff

Just 250m down the street from the cathedral, a spacious newly renovated all bright apartment. The rooms are very cosy - in white and wood. There's even parquet flooring, which is kind of special in this part of the world. It has a large, shared terrace with a beautiful view onto Iglesia de Santa Cruz. (However, might be hot in summer.) And even though Calle Mateo Gago turns into a tourist hotspot around the corner, it is quiet up there. The kitchen is well equipped - providing also salt, pepper, oil, etc. So even cooking was a breeze!

I've rented a whole floor apartments in Lisbon, but this one is next level (note: you will probably get assigned a random apartment though, so don't rely on my review). The location is perfect, the apartment is huge (the kitchen is literally bigger than some apartments) and it has a bath tube to cool down after a day of hiking. I was going to subtract one point for missing wine glasses, which would make it 10, but they supplied new glasses, so it's still 11. I'd move there if I could.

Family apartment at mateo gago is beautiful, very spacious and location is perfect, right by the cathedral!! It is a bit noisy at night especially on Saturday because of the restaurant downstairs, but it didn't bother us :). Floor in my specific unit was not completely cleaned on check-in, so I just re-vacuum with the vacuum inside the room. Overall, it's a great value for a big unit in a perfect location!

The apartment is perfect! To begin with the reception clerk was beyond friendly, the apartment was ready even before check in time. The apartment super clean, has two air conditioning, the bed is extremely comfortable, the bathroom is huge, the kitchen and living room area super comfortable and the location even better, just Approx 5 min to the setas and bus stop everywhere. I love it!! Super Recommended!

I had a great stay at Boutike Apartments in Sevilla. The apartment is very modern, clean and comfortable. The location is perfect. Its really central. You can almost do everything by foot. Communication with the owners of the apartment was really good. When I had a question, they replied within a couple of minutes. One of my best bookings so far.

Loved the ground floor as plunge pool was in the sun all day and very comfy beds , great views

We loved our apartment it had its own plunge pool modern and fantastic location close to the safari restaurant

Nice property but plunge pool totally useless as was freezing. Should be heated. Felt like wasted money.

Very modern apartment and very spacious, the plunge pool was great but very cold.

The condo was fabulous, comfortable beds, beautiful terrace, beautifully decorated, and somewhat well equipped kitchen (no spatula, nor thongs), no free coffee pods, sugar, creamer, provided with room, therefore planning ahead. Would also be useful if hotel could provide a small pool net for each of personnal plunge pool. We were at the condo for 6 nights and our plunge pool was quite dirty (bugs, palm tree flower petals). Given no cleaning service of our plunge pool was offered during our stay, having a small pool cleaning net would have been useful.

Very helpful reception staff. Beautiful old building very secure. We had a room with a plunge pool. Roof top plunge pool.

The location was fantastic in Santa Catalina near the Setas. The room and facilities were just what we needed. There is a lovely roof terrace with a plunge pool. Gema, who manages the place, is fantastic to deal with and made arrangements for us and was just really helpful.

Perfect location, within 10-15 minutes of all the places of interest. The hotel is beautifully decorated and recently renovated. We had the Penthouse room with a private pool which was amazing to cool off after a few hours in the heat. The staff is amazing and super responsive.

Beautifully decorated apartment . Would recommend to friends . Gema was excellent with communication and helping with plans . Outdoor area lovely with the small plunge pool refreshing

Beautiful hotel / apartment. Super organised, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff (Gema especially). Lovely terrace with plunge pool (lovely cold water) and soft cushions. Great location.

the staff was exceptional and the food amazing. we had a room with private pool and it was so nice. it was my husbands birthday and they gave us free champagne and chocolates with strawberries. one of the best 5 start hotels I’ve ever stayed in. very quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at Hipotels Barrosa! The beach and outdoor pool are absolutely amazing and the staff were more than accommodating! Rooms were bright, new, comfortable and clean. The spa was nice but had very limited hours (only 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon), the spa services were booked the entire weekend we stayed so we weren't able to get in for anything, and the pools in the indoor spa were extremely cold. The weather was pretty cold so we were hoping for a hot tub or at least somewhat warm pool indoors but there weren't any. We also came in the off-season (March) so most of the bars and restaurants out in town were closed... even on a Saturday night! Great little bar and breakfast buffet at the resort though! Other than that, it was a very enjoyable stay!

The staff were incredible, they upgraded us to the superior double room after finding out it was our honeymoon - we had a stunning view and amazingly huge room. The facilities and the buffet were incredible, as was the pool side bar. Fresh fruit was offered to us while at the pool, early morning. Super easy assess to La Barrosa beach.

Another wonderful stay and we love this hotel. Marvellous, efficient, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely pool and garden area to relax in and nice external pool bar / eating area. Beautiful beach very short walk away via boardwalk.

Beautiful pool and lovely beach on the doorstep. Having our own pool was delightful. Lovely outside space and staff were wonderfully helpful

From the moment we came, it was a satisfaction for us, large numbers, clean,with a view of the pool (the view from the room to the pool is a dream), semi-private pool, the view everywhere is extraordinary, the food-delicious, the staff very welcoming and always with a smile on my face. I recommend it to everyone who wants a amazing vacation,everything is extraordinary and we will definitely come back. Thank you all for the vacation that was more than perfect!

This hotel was fantastic! The room was a great size and kept very clean with daily servicing. The bed and couch were both very comfortable and lots of space for suitcases. Buffet dinners were delicious with a lot of variety. Every single staff member was very friendly and welcoming. Use of the semi private pool was the icing on the cake of this room!

Everything from arrival. The warm welcome. The hospitality. the help. The attention to details . The food- a lot to choose from. The integrity of the brand- I stayed in the same hotel in Mallorca twice and got engaged there. I would recommend this hotel. I booked the semi-private pool room, I would recommend

I liked the comfort of the poolside lounge chairs. I was surprised there weren't more options for lunch items by the poolside. We loved the room with comfy beds, with the balcony table and chairs. The shower was fantastic. It would be nice to see more flowers and trees in the pool area next to the fish and turtle pools. The hotel overall was beautiful especially at night lit up!

Our experience with the pool guard was horrible he wouldn't allow us to have drinks pool side or kids to play in the pool. We paid lots of money to be there but was over the top.

Recently stayed for two nights. Our second floor unit was facing the sea and, while a bit small, was clean and comfortable with gleaming marble floors throughout and all necessary amenities. There is a scenic roof deck with a plunge pool with lots of seating areas. As the hotel is very close to the waterfront in the centre of town it is best to arrive before evening, when the hotel's front street is part of a pedestrian-only zone, requiring one to park in a nearby public garage. Tons of beaches, restaurants and bars within a five minute walk.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Nerja. We travelled as a family (parents and two small children) and booked the quadruple room. We requested two double beds but since that wasn't available they put two sets of twin beds together and they were very comfortable and lovely. The rooms were spic and span and the breakfast was delicious and filling. The staff was phenomenal and everything was in walking distance. It rained a bit during our stay and we found the pool to be quite cold and the pool area to be a bit small for children. That said, the rooftop pool would be ideal for sunbathing in sunny weather. Thank you Hotel Cavana, we hope to return some day!

I couldn't fault this hotel. It had the best location. Very quiet, very clean, staff were soo helpful. Pool was perfect and the poolside food was gorgeous. Beds were soo comfortable. We had a wonderful time and if I was ever to go to Nerja again, I would def stay there. I'll be back someday

Lovely hotel very central, pool on rooftop lovely but lots of pigeons by the pool area and limited sun loungers for all the guests. nowhere to shower when checking out if you have a late flight but there is storage for luggage. Staff lovely and friendly. Would return.

Lovely location and very pleasant hotel, clean rooms, tastefully decorated with exceptionally comfortable beds. The rooms with terraces are fantastic, and you get a great view. Had it been warmer I might have used the roof top pool, which looks ok for a dip, and is surrounded with around 15 or so sun loungers. The hotel itself is a short walk from the bus station, and within 5 mins walk to the Balcon de Europa + many cafes, bars and souvenirs. Well thought out details: a 'closet' with actual coat hangers, which rarely occurs in many hotels I have stayed, good coffee/tea making facilities and water + extra blankets and pillows, and towels for pool. everything looked brand new, perhaps it was.

Neatly thought out apartment with all the facilities you need, with a plunge pool on the roof top, a excellent location and size for two couples to stay over in Seville

Extremely well located !Now going stay only at this area , 10 min walk to historic centre , same street as Triana bridge . self check in , very comfortable beds and apartment, only pool only for summer months

Excellent location! My kids love the little pool at the apartment ! There is a public parking just one minute walking distance. The historic building is beautiful and modern inside.

Location excellent , kids loved the pool .

Comfortable beds, great location, rooftop pool.

The location was 10 minutes from the city centre, 10 euro’s in a taxi. The hotel is set in extensive grounds with a large swimming pool and rooftop terrace. The breakfast selection was plentiful with huge variety. We used the Italian restaurant on a number of evenings and the menu selection was excellent and the food delicious. I cannot thank the staff for their attention to detail and accommodating our requirements at short notice. They opened the rooftop terrace for our guests at short notice and they also assisted me with the organisation of tables for 35 guests in the Italian restaurant…..

We were some of the only people there, it was off season for this location so parking and the pool were no problem but you have to drive in order to get to any of the sites or attractions. Staff was friendly and room was big with plenty of space for a large family. A/C worked well.

Only stayed one night but this place had fabulous sized rooms and a great bathroom with jetted tub. We checked in Christmas Eve and their restaurant and pool area was not open but I guess that's to be expected. 10 minutes drive from Nevada shopping mall and 15 minutes from the city centre

All staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was superb. Beds comfortable. Pool beautifully clean. We ate out at Origin and Italo - both served fantastic food. Thank you! What a find. Perfect for exploring The Alhambra by day and night!

Best hotel I ever stayed in my life. Very big room and amazing pool. 15 minute taxi ride 20 euros to the center only downfall.

Perfect location for local bars and restaurants, short walk to the shopping district and very short taxi rides to tourist attractions. Lovely sized apartment for a couple and the cooling plunge pool was a lovely addition, considering the heat!

Ten minutes walk from the cathedral and Alcazar. Own private little plunge pool. Attentive and friendly staff.

The small private pool was amazing especially when we had over 40C temperatures

Great location, nice apartment, comfortable bed, good air con and the plunge pool good for cooling down. Lots of nice bats and restaurants nearby and if visiting Isla Magica it’s very nearby!

New, clean, private, quiet, private pool suite and kitchen space. Electronic entry code.
