Exe Estepona Thalasso & Spa- Adults only Recommended
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Exe Estepona Thalasso & Spa is worth booking if you want a 4-star stay with a spa and a large saltwater pool at less than half the local median price, and you have a car. Skip it if you want to walk to restaurants and sights, because it sits by the A-7 motorway and its location score is only 7.9.

Adult couples looking for a pool-and-spa break on a budget are the clearest fit. The hotel name says adults only recommended, so confirm the child policy with the hotel if you travel with children.
Guests praise the large, clean saltwater pool, with plenty of sunbeds and a bar. A spa, gym and restaurant are also listed.
It suits people less if they want to stroll out to a town centre. The address is on the A-7 motorway, at the exit signed “Cancelada”, so plan on driving or taking taxis.
Location and getting around Estepona
The address is A-7 Autovía del Mediterráneo, Km. 165 ( Salida “Cancelada”). The location score is 7.9 out of 10, the lowest number on this page.
We do not have measured walking times to any sights or to the beach for this hotel. Given the motorway address, assume you will need a car, public transport or a taxi for most outings, and check distances on a map.
Parking is not among the confirmed facilities, so ask the hotel about it if you are driving.
What guests say
The score is 8.5 out of 10 from 1,669 guest reviews. That placed it joint 7th of 10 eligible hotels on review score, below our other two Estepona picks.
Staff get good comments, described as friendly and professional at both reception and the bar. The saltwater pool is the other highlight.
Breakfast is the main complaint. The buffet is varied, but guests say hot dishes are sometimes cold or not replenished.
Price compared with our other Estepona picks
The reference price was €99 per night, about €198 for two nights, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November) for 2 adults in one room. That was 54% below the sample median of €216.50 per night. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel El Pilar Andalucia, is 4 stars with 9.3, at about €259.25 per night. Our Luxury pick, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort - A Leading Hotel of the World, is 5 stars with 9.1, at about €349.50 per night.
The gap is large. You save about €160 per night against the Best Value pick and about €250 against the Luxury pick, in exchange for a lower guest score and a motorway location.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible hotels in Estepona. This one had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, which is how our Budget slot is filled.
Being a 4-star hotel with a spa and pool at that price is unusual, and 1,669 reviews make the 8.5 a reliable figure.
