La Zambra Resort Mijas - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

One of the best hotels I ever stayed in!! Super friendly & skilled staff. Excellent breakfast and 2 nice dinner resto’s. Cosy bar. Top hotel in every aspect! Valet parking service. Next to Mijas Golf and very quiet at night. A little pricey is the only setback I could think of.

Great location for a stay. The hotel is in fantastic condition with great views. Stuff was very friendly and welcoming and did the best to help make the stay pleasant. The hotel is still convenient to reach most of the destinations, yet they're away from the crowd. Two interesting courses are right next door to the hotel, a 2-minute drive and 10-minute walk. If you are looking for a premium golf experience, La Cala Gulf resort is 15-minute drive away.

Second stay at La Zambra, beautiful hotel, understated luxury overlooking the golf course. Staff all very helpful and courteous and really comfortable beds and linen. I really enjoyed the morning Pilates and Yoga sessions. Breakfast nice selection of buffet plus Al la carte.

Fully refurbished hotel with historic past, beautiful decor throughout. Staff were friendly and attentive. (Special mention to the Spa therapists, who were fabulous). Good location within easy access to Mijas and/or the beach, and golf available on the door step. Definitely worth a visit, could not fault this hotel.

We had an amazing time. The hotel is well run with professional staff. The hotel itself is beautiful and very relaxing. We loved the Spa and if you do need to pay, it’s definitely worth it. I also enjoy doing yoga in the morning. Breakfast was delightful with a good quality selection. Antonio was particularly helpful when we checked in after a delayed flight, made us feel so welcome and relaxed straight away. The hotel ias mentioned is very well run and with all the little details covered to make your stay even more wonderful. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. The hotel puts other so-called five star luxury hotels to shame as this is what we should expect. Thank you.

La Zambra presents itself as a luxury retreat, but beneath the polished exterior lies a poorly managed operation that fails to meet five-star expectations. Understaffing leads to slow, inconsistent service, making even basic requests a challenge. Breakfast, while decent, is overshadowed by frantic staff more focused on flipping tables than providing attentive service. The issue isn’t the employees—they’re clearly overworked—but the lack of strong leadership and organization. Nowhere is this mismanagement more obvious than in the hotel’s handling of private events. Large portions of the property are reserved for exclusive groups, leaving paying guests sidelined. Meanwhile, details that should reflect a luxury experience fall short—hasty repairs, subpar upkeep, and a general lack of refinement. Rather than a seamless five-star escape, La Zambra operates with the disorganization of a struggling hotel. During my stay, I interacted with a manager, Félix Córdoba, whose approach perfectly reflected the hotel’s larger issues. His handling of concerns was dismissive and unprofessional, adding to an already frustrating experience. His attitude was just another example of the broader culture of mismanagement at La Zambra—where expectations are set high but rarely met. For those looking for a true five-star stay in Málaga, look elsewhere—La Zambra simply doesn’t deliver.
