La Fonda Heritage Hotel Luxury, Relais & Châteaux

"Relais & Châteaux is a must-choose! Located in the heart of Marbella's old town, the hotel rooftop offers unbeatable views and a chill atmosphere. Both the lobby and guest rooms are beautifully designed and exquisite; after all, French hotel groups pay great attention to detail! If you're a foodie, you absolutely must eat at the hotel restaurant—Relais & Châteaux's selection of hotel cuisine is a definite strength!"

Don Carlos Marbella

"The hotel staff were incredibly attentive, and the room felt brand new after its recent renovation. The spa facilities were excellent too. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay."

Kimpton LOS MONTEROS MARBELLA by IHG

"I really enjoyed my stay at the Mimpton. The staff were friendly the hotel was clean with a lovely 70s vibe to it. My favourite thing was La Cabane attached to the hotel."

Marbella Club Hotel

"The hotel itself is beautiful, amazing gardens, nice interiors. Good breakfast, tasty restaurants. Most of the staff is really nice and helpful, but some of them don't care at all. The concierge service is lousy, we had to remind the same question for 3 times, but still getting just a half of an answer, except for Cala: he was always fast, attentive and doing more than expected. The staff at the adult pool was also always walking the extra mile, making it the perfect place to spend time and relax. Even though it says Golf resort, the location is not the best for golfing, for its course is located 40 minutes away from the hotel by their free shuttle, which goes every 1,5-2 hours. The last shuttle goes to the hotel at 15:15, when the course closes at 18:00. It takes around 25 mins if you come with a car or take a cab. The driving range lacks any covering, it is completely exposed to the sun, with the exception of a small shed reserved for the pros. It was also hard to book a tee time, perhaps due to a tournament we weren't informed about, so you should book well in advance. Though the manager at the golf club was very nice and helpful. But the main issue of the hotel is the noise level in the rooms. There's no sound insulation at all. In the first room we thought the problem was only in our upstairs neighbours, but after the manager moved us to another room on the 1st floor (so there's no one upstairs), we still could hear everything other guests were doing: taking a shower, speaking on the phone, packing their bags, talking to the hotel staff at the door, moving the chairs (which was making really loud noise and could be easily fixed with some furniture stickers), so until they went to sleep around 1am we couldn't sleep either. To call to reception and complain didn't make sense, because these people didn't do anything extra loud, just usual things. Then at 7am the leaf blower woke us up, though it was fixed after the second time we complained about it. On our last night we got lucky and had neighbours without kids who went to bed early, so we only heard their alarm at 7am (which still wasn't the time we would prefer to wake up). Another problem at night was the bed: it's so soft you sank down by like 30cm and wherever your partner moved even a bit you could feel it on your side, which woke us up many times. The staff was trying to fix it with another mattress and extra layer, it got a bit better, but my husband's back was still hurting in the morning, even though he travels frequently and usually doesn't have this problem. For these reasons we just couldn't rest properly at night and had to cut our trip short and leave for home early to get some decent sleep before our vacation was over."

Cortijo Boutique Marbella

"The best stay in Costa del Sol! I have stayed in Almunecar, Nerja, Malaga, and El Cortijo Boutique in Marbella is truly the best experience! Each room is unique, decorated with custom curated artwork by the owner Silvana. The hospitality of her staff is 5 STARS!!! They are warm, welcoming, and take care of me like family. Views from the pool terrace of the Mediterranean, birds chirping in the gardens, and ambiance music throughout the grounds far surpass the chaos of condos and hotels. Thank you for taking good care of me and my dogs :) We will definitely be back soon!!"

Globales Pueblo Andaluz

"We are English and went to this Spanish hotel which caters for French. We had NO problem at all. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean and a terrific layout. The food was fine. Tip: have one dish per day, then you won't get fed up. Staff was fine, I believe if you treat people with respect, it will be returned. Obviously the entertainment was French and child like, but we found an area with a nice drink and played cards which suited us as we was busy in the day. Bus stop outside, taking you to banus and and Marbella, cheap and cheerful days out. We hired a car so we went further to Ronda Estopona and overa, through the mountains. A decent walk to San Pedro, where we found a great market. A good 15 minute walk to to the beach, where there was cafes etc A few shops outside hotel but only two and also a nice pizza restaurant. We have been to the next door hotel a few times Cortijo Blanco, which caters more for British. But we never found this hotel bad at all"

Sercotel Vime La Reserva de Marbella

"We were planning to stay here as a family of three in a two-bedroom apartment. Upon arrival, check-in was quick and the staff at reception were polite. We were given apartment 6021, and at first everything seemed fine. However, once inside, the disappointment was immediate. The apartment looked nothing like the photos shown online. The furniture and interior were old and worn, the cleanliness was questionable, and overall it did not match the value for money we expected. When we mentioned this to the receptionist, she simply said that all apartments are “standard like this,” which was very surprising given the pictures used for advertising. We felt completely misled by the online presentation. It’s unfortunate, as the location seemed good and the potential was there, but the accommodation itself was far below expectations. We left after first night and requested money back."

BlueBay Banús

"A hotel with a more contemporary feel"

Barceló Marbella

"Clean hotel, very pleasant staff, close to the centre by car (10 min)."

Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club

"Absolutely stunning rooms and true five star experience. The bed was amazing and the housekeeping would refill all amenities that we used which was very considerate. The breakfast buffet was exceptional and we loved how generous and diverse the options were. The beach club is a short buggy ride away and also had a great infinity pool there. My only suggestion is to create a real cocktail menu and not the paper print out that was given to us on both days, but everything else was wonderful! The staff are so kind and friendly especially the blonde young man who helped us with our bags and drove us by buggy to the beach club."

Coral Beach Aparthotel

Hapimag Resort Marbella

"My only complaint would be that for the amount of service charge we paid, I would have expected the apartment to be cleaned at least once during our 10 day stay. The towels/ bedding was changed once but no apartment cleaning"
