La Zambra Resort Mijas - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

The spa was superb - luxurious and relaxing. The service was excellent and my treatment - Mediterranean bliss face/body - was the best I’ve ever had. Rosa, the therapist, was amazing - friendly and she made me feel at ease.

Having been to La Zambra previously, my wife and I already had high expectations. Our experience this time (7 nights) was as good if not better than before. The style and setting of the hotel is very relaxing, the food is extraordinary and the rooms are very clean and well-equipped (with huge luxurious bed). The stand-out feature at La Zambra is the incredible team of people who work in all departments. Without exception, they provide an extremely efficient and friendly service, always with a smile. With two lovely pools, a spa and golf courses on the doorstep, there is something for everyone here. I highly recommend La Zambra and look forward to our next visit.

Not the first stay there and still one of the best hôtel in the area. Clean , up to date facilities and Friendly staff… with a special mention to Mirella and Marta from restaurant for having always smile from breakfast to afternoon service around the pool. And also a big thank you to Lyanne guest relation for her quick follow up of our extra request about the bedding. We will be back again ;)

The good - Rooms are nice, aircon is cold, showers are nice, bed is okay, , staff are excellent but overworked to the point the management seem like slave drivers rather than fixing the root cause, which is understaffing. I thought I was writing about the good stuff.. Oh boy. The bad - For the same price the same week I could have stayed in the waldorf astoria in Rome which is an actual 5 star, this is merely a 3 star pretending to be a 5 star hotel, literally nothing about this hotel is 5 stars. Lounging by the pool? Be prepared for the novice golfers lob a few golf balls your way, and if you don't have a parasol up, be prepared to take one in the nuts. The restaurants are atrocious. I got a cod main that wasn't even filleted properly (full of bones), and it was so undercooked that it could have been thrown back into the ocean and would have swam away. I started vomiting violently after one bite, could have been the prawn starter as well I don't know. Anyway the restaurant still had the cheek to charge me full price of the meal.

Wonderful stay at La Zambra, the facilities for children were amazing, great kids club and the kids pool was perfect for my 1 year old as he could just sit in the shallow end and have a splash about. The restaurants were great with beautiful views, would have preferred some healthier options on the kids menu but that’s minor. Cocktails were delicious. Room was impeccable. Overall a 10/10 stay. I would definitely return.

Great.. But Quiet Stayed here with my Wife at the beginning of May. Just wanted a little time away in the sun. All the reviews mention the service that you can expect, and to be fair the service was very good. All the staff are eagre to help and it does have a good laid back vibe We ate half board in the hotel, I would say that the food is of a very high standared, and we enjoyed ir, however the half board menu is a little limited and there will not be much scope after 5 or so days Breakfast was lovely and laid back. There were numerous sun beds around the pools and gardens, and as the hotel did not appear to be busy a majority of them went unused all day Be aware that the horel is a little isolated, there isnt really anywhere you can walk to, so either hire a car or be prepared to stay at the hotel. We did get a taxi to Mirjas - 14 euros - for one morning when the sun was hiding We had a lovely room overlooking the golf course, spacious and cleaned everyday, a huge very comfortable bed, and one of the best showers i have ever encountered. One thing i would say is that the spa is an extra cost, i was alittle suprised at this, and its not cheap to use. They are currently having some work done to it - we werent told in advance - and some elements were not available, so a little bit annoying All in all we wanted a good experience in a great enviroment, and i think the hotel provded this for us - Would we return, Maybe !
