10 Top-Rated Hotels in Marbella, Costa del Sol, Province of Malaga, Andalucia

August 7, 2022 Marlin Saiz

In the chic, sun-drenched Costa del Sol town of Marbella, hints of its former Moorish occupation mingle with modern-day resort amenities. Bask on the sands of famous La Fontanilla beach or ricochet among the area's family-oriented water, wildlife and theme parks. Experience the Andalusian charm of the historic quarter, filled with whitewashed buildings, remnants of a ninth-century Arab fortress and fragrant orange trees. End a relaxing day with a dish of the cold almond soup ajoblanco and some of the region's excellent dessert wine.

Fantastic Service and Location!

Reviewed By jamesmB4517HJ

Spent two nights here over a weekend, from arrival to check out we were greeted and hosted by big smiles and friendly staff. A special thanks to Daniela Kewitschi and Sam Bigome who greeted us on arrival and helped us with bookings and local knowledge!! (tough to find spaces at the best restaurants and clubs, make sure you speak to them). The check in staff & valets Natasha Chepou, Josefina Pineto who assisted with helping track down our luggage the airline had lost (It arrived a day later, with the team at Don Carlos following up once we had given them the details as well as making sure we had all the toiletries needed) Overall it was a very pleasant stay and we were well looked after, parts of the hotel are slightly dated and could do with touch ups, but the cleanliness, location and access to the beach (& Nikki Beach Club) were exactly what we were looking for! Thanks to the team, and will definitely be back!

Lovely hotel for those both with and without children!

Reviewed By Zippythailand1

Lovely hotel, beautiful setting. Excellent food, lots of space for sunbathing and grounds and pools all lovely. The staff were all excellent, but in particular Meri and Dani at the children’s club were amazing with our son. He had never been to a kids club before and they put him at ease straight away. Every day he would come back with all the lovely things he had made, he didn’t ever want to leave! We stayed in the red level which was lovely, with food and drinks available all day. My only negative of the hotel is the mattresses were incredibly hard and uncomfortable.

The breakfast we had every day was amazing, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were all extremely friendly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. The room itself was huge and extremely comfortable and quiet. I can’t recommend this hotel enough and really hope I get to go back!

A Charlatan Hotel Group

Reviewed By 613terencen

A lovely hotel but absolutely disgusting customer service. To call this hotel group charlatans is doing charlatan’s a disservice. We booked a 4 night stay in a Grand Junior Suite with partial sea view in 2020. Due to COVID we were unable to go and the Hotel called to offer us our money back in full. Due to the well publicised financial pressures many Hotels at the time we’re under, I told them to retain my money and I’d rebook when things were better. I just tried to rebook and rather than offering me my same room and recognising my goodwill gesture this group of charlatans want to charge me their increased price for the same 4 night stay in the same room. I told them I could have earned interest on my money over this period and given my goodwill gesture, I had no idea at the time that the hotel would even survive, they should honour my booking. The best they would offer me is a 10% discount on the new price. I’ve now told them I want my money back in full, something I now wish I’d one in 2020, and that I’ll never return either there or their adjacent sister hotel. I’ll now wait and see if this cockroach of a company does indeed refund my money.

Breakfast disappointing

Reviewed By O2275NPemmat

Nice and clean hotel however the cooked breakfast items are very basic. Not allowed to take any fruit or water to your room as we experienced and was left feeling embarrassed as front of house confiscated some watermelon and water off us. Not what you expect when you pay a lot of money to stay at a 5 star hotel .
