The Lodge Ronda

I booked this lodge for 2 night at the end of January 2024 for me and 4 of my girlfriends. Prior to our arrival, Alicia was very communicative and helpful with arranging our check in time, chef -prepared meals at the lodge, wine selections to have on hand, and massages in the massage studio there on the property. We drove straight to the lodge where Alicia met us to check us in and make sure everything was perfect for our stay. The lodge, itself, is so spacious and upon our arrival, the fireplace had a welcoming fire going. We each had our own rooms, with doors opening to the outside patio. The views were exceptional, and the weather was so nice, that we slept with doors open. Rooms are well-appointed and very comfortable. We told Alicia we were planning to meet a tour guide in Ronda city center. She gave us the name and number of a local taxi driver to call for a reliable, safe ride. He was fabulous and was at our door to pick us up within 15 minutes, then came back to town to drive us home when we were ready. Our chef-prepared meals were fabulous, and the chefs waited until we had all had our spa appoin**ents to prepare the meal and serve to us at the long table together. The masseuse did a phenomenal job, as well. I cannot recommend this property enough. A perfect spot to gather with friends, family, or colleagues. Be sure to make time to just spend on the property to enjoy all of its beauty and amenities!

We held a birthday party at the Lodge in September for around 30 people. Everyone stayed either at the Lodge or at the lovely hotel. The service was fantastic, relaxed and flexible. Nothing was too much bother, the team were clearly very experienced at running events and for the weekend set up tables and chairs in the garden for the larger meals, organised transport for the guests coming from the hotel, produced a delicious birthday cake ( with not much notice) and generally sorted out any minor glitches. All was done with great charm. We had the private chef for several nights again with fantastic food. One of the cleaners even offered to drive a guest to Ronda when his taxi was late so he wouldn't miss his train. All our guests had an amazing time so much so that some booked to stay extra days at the hotel! I would highly recommend the Lodge (and hotel) for events like this or for a family holiday or group of friends staying. The flexibility means you can self cater, have all meals provided or somewhere between the two. Plus it definitely looks better in real life than in the pictures! Thanks again to the great team.

We have stayed at the Lodge before - it is beautiful and gorgeous but I must advise all interested parties exhibit caution as this time The Lodge Ronda have cancelled our stay with with under a week until our flights (which are already booked). A computer glitch is being blamed for the double booking and we have been offered the affiliated hotel (for the same price although it is cheaper) or different dates in September neither of which work for us. Book with care - if we cancelled now we would have to have to pay the entire cost of the Villa, it is simply unacceptable for such short notice cancellations.
