Costa de la Luz, Spain hotel rooms at the Independent

When we booked this hotel, we somehow thought it was in Marbella and right on the beach...we were wrong on both counts. It is in Casares (near Marbella) and is about a 5-minute drive up the road from the beach. No matter, it has its own private Beach Club with prompt shuttle service. While the Beach Club is beautiful with a wonderful restaurant and spectacular pool, the beach itself is very uninspiring. As far as the hotel property, the grounds are stunning and the rooms are immaculate, with...

Wonderful boutique hotel with tasteful renovation, great amenities and top notch service. Attention to detail in every corner, utter comfort.

Great hotel, great location, great staff.

Gorgeous, romantic. Highly recommend staying in the wine countryside. Three course dinner was exceptional, best meal we had including the big cities.

Breakfast is delicious and location is superb!

We arrived early and were given the key to our room right away. They even helped with the luggage

Excellent location

I stayed at El Pilar last March and returned for one night because of the service, location and beautiful property. The front desk is always helpful and always wear a smile. The recognized I had been there in March, so check in was easy. The roof top bar is awesome as is a light breakfast downstairs.

Most wonderful stay we’ve ever been to. The space is unique and the hotel has great views and services. I loved our beautiful room, the incredible pool, the friendly staff. We’ll definitely come back next year. Muchas gracias.

Clean room.

Pool was not ready for the one night we satyed but the area was enjoyable and the views gorgeous.

The staff was amazing, they made me feel like family. the restaurant food and staff especially Elena we're outstanding. I stayed in room 208 with a balcony overlooking the water. And the heated pool on the rooftop Was a great place to relax.

Incredibly nice place Beachfront nice view to the pool, luxurious rooms, welcoming staff

This was a great stay. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was good, and the staff was super welcoming. The only improvement I would recommend is enhancing the internet coverage, as the signal was weaker than we expected.
