Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a balcony and ocean view, offering a lounge area with complimentary drinks. The service was exceptional, especially from Yvonne and Cafelilo. The location is superb, just a short walk from all the attractions in Marbella. The dining experience was top-notch, perfect for starting the day after a stroll along the promenade. Overall, a great place to escape and relax in the sun.
Staying at the hotel was a memorable experience. The rooms were top-notch, but the noisy environment due to neighboring guests was a downside. Although we expected a side-sea view, we only had a front view. The service was a mix of investigative behavior and friendly multi-lingual staff. The location was ideal with direct access onto the promenade and proximity to the old town for great walks and dining. The dining was of the highest standard, but timing influenced the value. Overall, a mixed experience with highs and lows.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right by the beach and within walking distance to charming restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, the dining experience fell short due to limited breakfast options. On the bright side, the pool area was well-kept and delightful. The price was fair, but it would have been even better if Wi-Fi was complimentary.
