Hotel Amanhavis ★★★

"Have just enjoyed a wonderful overnight stay in this beautiful & charming hotel. The owners and staff have managed to create a peaceful & relaxing oasis in this busy area and their hospitality and attention to detail were exceptional. Dinner and breakfast by the pool were delicious and beautifully presented. There were extra touches of assorted dips & creamy oven baked garlic and personalised touches that added to the experience. We have promised ourselves to return and explore another of the individually designed rooms (this time we chose Sultan Boabdil’s Chamber) Until then we have a lovely ceramic purchased from the pottery display to remember them by."

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort ★★★★★

"Our room was in the main building, which has a classic palace-style interior. I heard the annex building offers larger, more modern rooms, so it really depends on personal preference – I thought the main building was great! The outdoors features a golf course. Unfortunately, I know nothing about golf, so I could only watch various 'old money' types playing. The hotel has a very intriguing spa that’s free for guests to use. It's quite dimly lit, with a style that feels like a blend of ancient Roman and Arabian influences. They have various scented steam rooms (salt, lemon, lavender, strawberry, etc.) and saunas at different temperatures. Tucked away at the very back is a super comfortable and relaxing lounge area. Spaniards are so punctual when it comes to knocking off! The spa closed at 8 PM, and they turned off all the lights while we were still showering. We had to change using our phone flashlights. A heads-up would have been nice! We drove here, and hotel parking costs about 20 euros a day, but there's free outdoor parking just 300 meters away, which everyone uses. Breakfast was entirely a 'white people' meal, with an à la carte menu mainly featuring various egg dishes."

Bakour Oh Nice Costa del Sol ★★★★

"The hotel was outdated and the bathroom in the room left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. It was close to where I needed to be, but I wouldn't stay there again."

Royal Marbella Golf Resort ★★★

"The staff were rude, ill-mannered, and resistant to foreigners. The reception staff didn't even try to help or answer any questions about the property, and the manager/person in charge was the rudest person I've seen in a long time. I wanted to do a late check-out and went down to reception to pay the extra fee, as the receptionist had instructed. When I got there, the manager was already there and immediately spoke rudely to me, saying I had to leave the department right away or she'd call the police. The receptionist entered the amount into the card reader so I could pay the extra fee and do a late check-out, but she snatched the card reader from his hands and told me it wasn't going to be done for me and that I had to move and leave immediately. She even followed me upstairs and said she was going to stay in the department until I left, all in a disrespectful and vulgar tone of voice, most likely because I'm not Spanish. I wanted to call the police, but they wouldn't let me. Even the security guard came up to the apartment and apologized on behalf of the manager for how unprofessional she had been with me. It was a very bad experience."

The Westin la Quinta Golf Resort & Spa, Benahavis, Marbella ★★★★★

"We have just returned from Westin La Quinta for a golf holiday and spa. I would agree with many others that there is nothing nearby, bar, shop, restaurant etc without paying for cabs. You are pretty much isolated. You are thus restricted eating at the hotel. Food was mostly nice and breakfast very good. But very little offered in the way of a snack like a sandwich or lighter bite. Prices are a bit high for drinks and dont dip into the mini bar or food in room! Kitkat €5 really! Room was very comfortable, big bed and yes a little dated but very clean. South facing room needed black curtains and not just shutters. Overlooked B and A first tees across the road which did give some noise from the flash motors from locals. Spa was really very good and excellent massages. Highly recommend one or two. Now the golf. We played four rounds here, C&B, every flaming round. Yes A was shut for maintenance Monday to Sunday, so really disappointing not to play the A course the whole week. Maybe shutting Weds to Tues would allow those coming for a week a chance to play all the course. Drinks on course! It was 37° for our 1st round and the 19th hole hut wasnt even opened and if you wanted extra water you paid for it. Never had to in Turkey or other courses in spain. C&B courses were in excellent condition and loved playing them. Staff are friendly and helpful in the main, just a frosty response from the female staff in the pro shop when I asked about playing the A course. Practice facilities need improving. Range but no driving. Putting good but no chipping area. Would we play La Quinta again, yes, would we stay at Westin, not likely as worked out too pricey. Hotel staff great."

Royal Marbella Golf Resort ★★★★

"Great Resort with friendly staff. A little off grid so driving is a must. Definitely recommend."

Colina del Paraiso ★★★★

"The good thing for the family is the large apartment with good response that opens all the time."

Mirador II ★★★

Boutique Hotel Maravilla - Marbella ★★★★

"We stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights and had an amazing time. The hotel is extremely well maintained and the owners are very helpful and friendly. It is located perfectly within proximity to Nueva Andalucía and other costal cities. We highly recommend staying here."
