Good alround property!
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

Its OK
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.

Lovely place, great views
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.

Nice out of town hotel
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.

Clean, friendly and safe.
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.

Nice apartments in good location
A nice apartment and townhouse complex in Benahavis. This is the second time we have stayed at the Colina del Paraiso because of the value, the size, and the location of the apartments. Only 10 minutes drive from Puerto Banus and Marbella it is ideally located. It is also convenient for the local supermarket. The apartments are nice and airy and have very good sized balconies (which are safe). We stayed in a 3 bed apartment with our 3 children (aged 1,8 and 11) and had plenty of room. We will definitely be returning.

comfortable townhouse but hire a car
Townhouse was nice, downstairs there's a sitting room with flat screen tv with good selection of uk channels such as bbc, utv, channel 4 etc, dining area and terrace, kitchen was equipped with good quality appliances (have to close the kitchen door to open dishwasher though) and a downstairs loo. Upstairs the master bedroom has a comfortable good sized bed, decent storage space and nice bathroom with jacuzzi bath, theres also a small terrace through patio doors. The other two bedrooms were twins and definitely a bit on the small size, fine if smaller children are using them but cramped with teenagers. Roof terrace is well equipped with 6 sunloungers, table and chairs and a lovely jacuzzi, we found the water temperature a bit too hot and someone came straight over to lower it for us. We found the staff pleasant and any queries were dealt with promptly and efficiently. Surrounding scenery is lovely and the golf course looks well maintained, there are tennis and padel courts but the driving range has been replaced with a basketball court. Having read other reviews we knew a car was a must and it most definitely is as the area is hilly and in a more residential setting. All in all a pleasant place to stay.

The perfect family Break!
We just had the best 8 days at Colina del Paraiso! We stayed there 5 years ago and I can say the Town Houses have not changed and are as bright and clean as they were when it first opened! The new club house is great and the food and service is second to none! Sebastian could not do enough for us! The grounds have matured and are maintained every day! We now have a newly surfaced road up to the development! Would certainly recommend this place to anyone! There is no fault to the place and as a hotelier myself can guarantee that! We will certainly go back and we think sooner than later! Well, done to all the staff!!!

Colina Del Paradiso
It's not the easiest place to find (easiest route is to take the turn-off for Cancelada, about 5mins after Puerto Banus, and work back. It's about an hour from Malaga airport). You'll need a car to get around, but Colina Del Paraiso is a fantastic place to get away from it all. I recommend a townhouse or penthouse apartment, but even the normal apartments are huge and superbly equipped. Any issues (e.g. when you'd like your private rooftop jacuzzi cleaned), staff are at your door within 5 minutes. You get so much more for your money than east of Marbella, and the beaches are nicer and less crowded. The restaurant on-site is a little pricey but absolutely superb food and views so it's not a rip-off - it's one of the best on the Costa. Benahavis is only 10 minutes away, with its big choice of bars & restaurants. Make sure you take a trip up to Rhonda, a beautiful old Spanish town with some must-see attractions, and the mountain road offers some absolutely breathtaking scenery. Colina Del Paraiso is by far the best place I've ever stayed on the Costa, just back from my second trip there and already looking forward to returning next year. Book and enjoy, save some room for me though...

Not an easy place to find but after asking a couple locals they pointed us to it. You exit the A7 at the Benahavis exit and it's not too far from there --go north and turn left at the end of the golf course on your left and go up the hill. There was a supermarket very near. We had a unit overlooking a golf course and facing the mountains. We could also see the Mediterranean and the rock of Gibraltar. The weather mid October was beautiful-- mid 70"s everyday. The staff were friendly. There is no maid service. They have beautiful pools, tennis courts, and even golf nets. A little bit noisy at times with lots of children about -- but not a problem for us. The TV had only a few english channels but there was a DVD player for PAL format DVDs. May not be great for 1 night stay because it's hard to find--but once you know where it is it's great.

Great luxury getaway
Great place to get away from it all, it's a rich neighborhood and not very built-up yet, unlike a lot of the Costa Del Sol. Best for couples / families / those needing a quieter holiday as there's not a lot of local night life - Puerto Banus is at least €30 each way in a taxi. Great beaches. Accommodation is really superb, genuine 4*. The best restaurant in the area is on site, pricey but not ridiculous. Rhonda is well worth a day out. Car is a must.

Apartment & Hotel top, aber Pool leider unbeheizt
Wir hatten ein Apartment mit traumhaftem Meerblick, der bei optimaler Sicht neben dem Felsen von Gibraltar auch die Berge Nordafrikas erkennen läßt. Das Apartment ist sehr groß und komplett mit neuwertigen Geräten ausgestattet: Waschtrockner, Herd, Backofen, Kaffeemaschine, Bügeleisen, Geschirr, Töpfe.. nur Salz&Pfeffer haben uns am ersten Abend beim Kochen gefehlt, weil wir die im Supermarkt im Tal vergessen haben zu kaufen. Parken kann man bequem direkt davor, zu den schönen Pools sind es nur wenige Schritte. Das Personal versteht sehr gut englisch, ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles ist picobello sauber, es gibt auch keinerlei störende Insekten -offensichtlich sind die Spanier nicht so zimperlich bei deren Bekämpfung.. (Urlaub völlig ohne Mücken und -stiche!) Unsere Dachterasse haben wir (2 Erwachsene mit 3 Kindern) nie genutzt, ebenso wenig den (eiskalten) eigenen Pool, der eher nutzlos erscheint. Und das ist unser EINZIGES Problem mit der Anlage: Die unbeheizten Pools! Das Wasser ist dermaßen eiskalt, dass nur Hartgesottene sich hereinwagten -und natürlich auch nie lange drin blieben. Für unsere Jungs <3 Jahre war das sehr ärgerlich, da sie sich -anstatt den ganzen Tag im Pool zu verbringen- eher langweilten. Zum Vergleich: In Miami ein Jahr zuvor waren unsere Kinder ganztägig nicht aus dem Pool zu bekommen, weil dessen Wasser einfach angenehm warm war und man es auch, ohne sich zu bewegen, dort den ganzen Tag aushielt. Wichtig: Auto ist Pflicht, da abgelegen.
