This hotel cannot be beaten for value. We first discovered El Paraiso in 1981; we enjoyed it then and have recently re -discovered this gem. For us this hotel ticks all the boxes: lovely location, beautiful surroundings, comfortable accomodation and great food.... lovely breakfast with all you could wish to eat. We always go half board and have not been... More

This hotel is on top of a big hill in a very quiet location. The views of the sea from many of the balconies are excellent as is the large outdoor pool which is open at certain times of year. If you enjoy long walks you can get to a very limited range of shops in about 15-20 minutes but... More

This was a terrific hotel. First of all, the view from my balcony was of the gigantic pool AND the Mediterranean Sea. Spectacular. The room was clean, the pool was refreshing, and the students I was traveling with loved the buffet breakfast and dinner. So much to choose from, AND kid friendly. They had something for everyone. We were staying... More

I did read some of the reviews before I stayed here, but once I arrived, I understood why some reviews were bad. This is a hotel catered for the Spanish, so some facilities aren't what you would expect (English TV channels, Tea/Coffee facilities). On the whole the room was nice, lovely views from the 5th floor and friendly staff. Breakfast... More

This was my fourth visit, on a short 4 night break and the hotel certainly ticked all the boxes again for us but I can understand the frustrations of other reviewers. The classic building is 70’s architecture and is in an enviable position on a hillside overlooking the golf course and the Med. The freeform swimming pool is in large... More
