Kempinski Hotel Bahía

Wonderful stay at this exceptionally nice hotel. beautifully decorated rooms spotless and large, service is outstanding and nothing too much trouble. plenty of food at restaurants to choose and well situated on the coast. bikes available to use on site

We booked last minute as Puente Romano was not available. As we have a big family we had 2 rooms with an average room rate of £700 per night. We had visited the hotel previously and liked it. Unfortunately it has gone downhill significantly. Only the small childrens swimming pool was open (the larger one had been renovated but not signed off) and due to a large convention this meant it was ridiculously crowded. On the first day it took over 1.5 hours to get a drink and some lunch. I complained to the duty manager Gerard whose response was simply "would you like to check out early". Fortunately a senior member of staff Angel intervened and assisted in improving our experience as best he could. One further note about the childrens pool is that the hotel claim it is 26 degrees and this is blatantly not the case as it was baltic. There are now only 2 restaurants open. The breakfast buffet is completely substandard meaning we chose to eat elsewhere. We had a pleasant lunch at the Spiler Beach club but a very average Evening meal at Balthazar (2 hours to wait for our main). This meant we were forced to dine out of the hotel for the remaining days of our stay. It is clear that a contributory factor to the demise of the hotel is its imminent rebranding to become a Gran Melia (happening in Dec 2025) albeit this was strenuously denied by the management. We decided to check out a day early and go to Puente Romano for our last night. The manager offered a good will gesture of 100 euros off our stay of over 7000 euros which was derisory. If you are thinking of staying here before the changeover to Gran Melia I would think again

Nice hotel, room interior needs some renovation, but generally high standard

What a great stay!

Zeer goed hotel. Mooie goed onderhouden kamers. Uitstekend en zeer uitgebreid ontbijt. Restaurant Balthasar heeft zeer lekkere gerechten. Zeer vriendelijk en attent personeel. Het was reeds de 8e keer dat wij in het hotel verbleven en we komen zeker terug. Je kan gemakkelijk te voet wandelen via het strandpad naar Estepona of met een korte taxi rit. Een absolute aanrader.

We had an infant with us, they were able to supply bottle sanitiser, milk bottle warmer. Gave us fresh milk for tea. Breakfast was excellent. We did encounter a few ants in the room, we requested a move and got another excellent sea front view room.
