The view is amazing, food and service are superb. Chefs in the kitchen, who prepare dishes with pleasure. And you can taste it. Thank you Richard and your team for the warm welcome.

A quick taxi ride up from Fuengirola, English breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked. Son and partner walked up. Lovely area, pool area was clean and looked very inviting

Always such a great time here. A little further out but 100% worth it. The food is super tasty, the cocktails are on another level (seriously) and the service is always really friendly! Take a trip here, you won’t regret it!

For once goggle did not lead us astray! Beautiful location, professional service and quality food. Stunning views. New on menu was a curry chicken and Jollof rice! Asked for veg version and they made on the spot Richard was a great host and we booked to try an evening meal in a few days.

An excellent hidden gem... Food and service amazing.. Gluten free options too... I had the burger with gluten free bun.. and the chips were gluten free too.. Amazing views and a heated pool and sunbeds on site too... A must visit..

What a great restaurant and amazing people! Richard, Mark, Juan, Emanuel and dear colleagues, you all know what high class service is. What a perfect experience and definitely a recommendation to go here for lunch, drinks, cocktails (by MC!) and dinner.

Last Friday I had a great lunch at Vista Lagp. It is in a beautiful parc callled Hacienda Sueño. My poker bowl was delicious. My friends were having Tunefish tataki and a feta salad. Both very good as well. The service and ambience were perfect. I’ll be back!

We had a lovely day here. The breakfasts were amazing and very reasonably priced. The free use of the heated swimming pool and luxury sunbeds added to our great experience. Lunch looked fantastic but we were unable to sample it as the restaurant was fully booked, which goes to show just how popular this place is. I highly recommend you try it for yourself.
