Sandy Beach

  • Drinks

  • Lolailo sits on the sand at Playa del Cristo, the sheltered cove on the western edge of Estepona, and has been run by the same family since 1998.

    Loungers and daybeds are set out in front, with waiters bringing food and drinks straight down to them. The kitchen leans on the sea: grilled squid, king prawns pil pil, paella and lamb chops off the grill. The mojitos have a following of their own.

    The cove faces the sunset and the evenings fill up fast, especially at weekends when there is live music. Open from ten in the morning until ten at night, so breakfast, lunch and dinner all happen on the same stretch of sand.

    We have been here a few times the past years and it just gets worse every time. This time the food was almost inedible. I had to send my mussels back as they did not taste fresh at all. Ceasar salad is very sad, tiny portion and old salad. Absolutely no love in these two dishes. Very expensive for what you get. At least they removed the mussels from the bill when I sent them back, but they didn’t say sorry or offered something else. Very poor, not coming back.

    I’ve visited this place in mid august, but yet felt to give the credit it deserves. I had a very pleasant dinner with friend. The steak with fries was amazing, the staff were very kind and helpful. Other than food, the place has a great ambient, a beach bar with a nice sunset spot and interesting decoration. Absolutely will come back.

    Lolailo used to be our favorite spot since 2020. Over the past five years, we spent many wonderful days on the “square sun bed,” always reserving our favorite one. During the last year, however, we’ve noticed a steady decline in the quality of service, which culminated during our most recent visit. Despite having made our reservation in person the day before, the staff allowed other guests to take our spot — apparently to make up for a mistake they had made with those guests the previous day. Our protests and disagreement made no difference. We received no apology, no sign of regret, and no compensation. The final straw was the owner’s so-called apology: “We’ll do better next time.” Well, no — there won’t be a next time. You don’t value your customers, and we’ll be voting with our wallets elsewhere. Fortunately, three promising new chiringuitos have opened on the main beach.

    Cocktails are extremely good !! The food is standard. I ordered a seafood pasta , which was tasty but nothing exceptional

    I pay €25 to use one (1) sunbed! The nice French couple (two adults and two children beside me pays in total Euro 30), i e a couple pays the equivalent of €15 per person for two sunbeds! According to the responsible, the reasoning is that some people may not want to share. My experience from sharing sunbeds at other chiringuitos is quite the opposite. People are nice to each other! Especially when you are alone and appreciate having someone beside you who can watch your belongings when you go for a swim.

    Playa del Cristo is a 680 metre cove on the western edge of Estepona, tucked in beside the port and sheltered from the wind.

    That shelter is what makes it different from the long beaches along this coast: the water stays calm and warm, there are no waves to speak of, and families with small children come here instead of la Rada.

    There are trees along the back of the sand for shade, showers, changing rooms and toilets, and the beach is set up for visitors with limited mobility, with amphibious wheelchairs and assisted bathing through the summer.

    The marina and the fishing port are about five hundred metres away.
