Hotel Cortijo del Arte - Caminito del Rey

Amazing classic country-style Spanish hotel and restaurant. Beautiful property on the edge of town. Hotel owner and staff were super friendly and helpful. Indoor/outdoor restaurant served delicious food. Owner even arranged nearby horseback riding for my daughter (which she loved). Quiet/tranquil setting. Highly recommend!

Our recent stay at Hotel Cortejo del Arte was truly delightful! Santiago, the owner, warmly welcomed us and ensured our experience was exceptional. The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay. The hotel itself was charming, providing a comfortable atmosphere for relaxation with fireplaces on around (as it was December) The hotel provided a comfortable retreat for our days of exploration. Its convenient location allowed us to easily visit Marbella, Malaga, Ronda, and Cadiz in the afternoons after our morning horse rides. One of the highlights was Santiago’s involvement in co-owning a horse riding facility. The horse riding experience was a highlight of our trip. He effortlessly arranged lessons for us, allowing us to have an incredible time exploring this fantastic activity. The dedication he showed in organizing everything for us was simply outstanding. Not only they provided riding lessons but also allowed us to assist with basic care for the horses, and learn more about horsemanship which added a special touch to our stay. Additionally, the restaurant's delicious meals and the attentive staff contributed to our overall enjoyment. Santiago's dedication to ensuring a pleasant stay was evident throughout. Overall, Hotel Cortejo del Arte provided a lovely retreat. It's a place I'd recommend for a relaxing getaway.

I booked half board in a double room. On arrival on a very hot day the reception was empty and I spent around 20 minutes trying to find someone to check in who eventually appeared. The room was average. However this was not my main issue. Having already paid £113 for half board I arrived at their restaurant to be told by the waiting staff that as part of the half board deal I could have a starter, main & dessert (which my wife had). However at the end of the meal I was presented with a bill for €96!! The manager stated that I would be given an allowance back the following morning at breakfast. Sure enough the following morning I was presented with €36!!! For the two of us which didn’t even cover the starters. I feel conned very misleading, nothing was made clear & I urge future guests to book room only so that you then know what your paying for. WONT BE RETURNING

Great little hotel . Very relaxing , staff excellent and very helpful and accommodating . We were very relaxed and comfortable there and enjoyed afew drinks in the restaurant which is alongside the hotel . The pool is great and there are Sunbeds to relax on .

This place comes with white table cloth and nice glasses, which creates expectations, of course. The menu adds to this, lots of promising dishes on offer, fish and meat. We went with croquetas as a starter and Pork and beef as mains. Quality was good, but all was served on ice-cold plates in a rather cool room at this time of the year, which cools down the meal really quick. Service was friendly but rather rushed. It felt tome that the potential was not used up.

The hotel is comfortable but there are a few shortcomings like the shower which is barely more than a dribble! Breakfast is poor - they offer you eggs but with nothing! The coffee needs to be upgraded and a decaf option added. There is plenty of parking and it's easy to find. I will review the restaurant separately and this will get a better rating.

Do not book this hotel if there is a risk that you will arrive later than 22:00. You will probably have to stay in another hotel and still pay for the night. Even if you have a late arrival agreement with the hotel. They can not be reached after 22:00
