4 star hotels in Marbella

Good 4* hotel. Has a nice pool area where you can chill all day, decent breakfast. Room was large enough, air conditioning and a ceiling fan. Downsides: if you have a room facing the pool area, you will be woken up by the people cleaning the alleys and the sunbeds. They are noisy and also speak loud while working. That caused me to wake up earlier than usual. Also, the pool area is on grass and dirt...

Best hotel I've ever stayed at. With a great location close to the famous luxurious streets of Puerto Banus and perfect beaches, unparalleled service, always friendly and helpful staff, incredible food, huge pool… I highly recommend it! I will definitely be back!

Location of blue bay banus is quite a distance from the harbour and other parts of Marbella. Room was extremely dated. Very old. Bathroom was quite old, and had black on ceiling, toilet and bath. Toiletries were provided which was nice. And cleaning staff ensured fresh towels everyday. Shower curtain was unhygienic and dirty. Bed was comfortable and cleaning staff cleaned and gave fresh sheets daily...

Very nice and helpful staff. The hotel has a nice area where you can rest, sunbathe, swim and enjoy the peace. Good breakfast buffet with friendly staff. Close to public transport, car rental and relatively close to the beach. Recommended!

Lovely hotel, great location - 20 mins either way along the beach you get to bars and restaurants. The service was amazing and the food was off the scale!! Cannot recommend this enough!

2nd time I have been here. Nice quiet and cosy. Good quality food. Rooms, restaurant and gardens all immaculate.Short walk to the beach . Close to some shops etc

I want to thank all the team of hotel Melia Marbella Banus It was nice place ,very good hotel ,very clean and organized also very helpful staff: the reception, the restaurant staff very friendly I have been I  lots of places but this hotel you feel it like familiar The place of the hotel also so good next to the sea and not far from Marbella center I really recommend this hotel and 8 will be back for...

Amazing place where you can find everything for your Holliday spa sauna massage 💆‍♂️ pool Turkish bath and you have the playa behind the hotel what Amazing place. The staff is super Nice

Clean and comfy, nice and kind staff , but very old style inside the rooms. Besides the view isn’t really direct see view ( there’s building blocking the see). It’s very expensive, so regarding these cons, I wasn’t very satisfied.

A good location. Spacious room a little bit old but clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. The level lounge is tiny but good. you can serve your self a cup of Nespresso as you like with some snacks. BTW you can walk few min to Porta Panos!!

On the whole, an excellent resort which is well placed by being only a ten minute walk or three minute cab ride to Porta Banus. With the exception of one or two surly members, all the staff are helpful and friendly and, if Ms Guadalupe is working behind the bar, get her whisky sour cocktail; it's a frozen version that's the best I've had outside the USA. Only quibble is that, in off peak season,...

Everything was good. The room is big the bed is very comfortable and very big. The fridge wasn't working properly when we wanted to take something to drink. The restaurant of the hotel cocina malaguena is fantastic. We enjoyed the food and the staff is really friendly. Something was weird in the bar. we ordered margaritas and they served them on plastic glasses. I didn't like it

There was our first stay and the Hotel was fantastic. Initially you maybe put off that is it located far from Marbella but it is only a 15 min Uber away. Rooms were very spacious and bed so comfortable. Staff were great and the pool area and restaurants overlooking the sea were fabulous. The private beach as well was stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

This is a reasonably sized romantic hotel with very well thought out facilities covering all our needs, also as a family. We loved the view at every breakfast and dinner. Maybe due to off-season, the dinner buffet got a bit boring after 5 days.

Lovely location, quiet place to relax and recover from the daily life. The food is great, however, as a vegetarian/vegan there are just a few options to eat. Wished for more diversity at the breakfast. This is the only reason this review has only 4 stars. The staff is great, friendly, helpful. The rooms are well equipped, are clean and spacious. If you wish for a relaxed holiday, here‘s the perfect...

I am a frequent guest. I come every year in the summer for aprox 2 weeks. There are things I like about this hotel and some others I dont like. What can be improved: the furniture and decor in the rooms needs updating. They could welcome repeating guests in a special way. Positives: The breakfast is full of variety and until 11am. The staff at the reception are very helpful, the cleanliness is great...

We've been coming here for years each time we manage a holiday in Spain. The food is delicious even though the quantity has cut down quite considerably over the years the quality of food is still great! The views are stunning combined with the ambience makes for a lovely Sunday buffet.

Very happy with our stay here. We visited for 4 days in mid June. Breakfast was impressive and the staff were brilliant throughout our stay. We checked in early at no extra cost, used the facilities after we had checked out, they allowed us to shower and even provided the towels for us - very handy. The pool is lovely and the bar next to it is handy for snacks. It's practically on the beach so all...

The Hotel has recently been refurbished, it is lovely and clean and all the staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help, especially Omaira and Sergio in the Breakfast lounge! The pools and facilities are fabulous and we were kindly offered fresh towels and shower facilities as we had a very late flight after checking out at midday on the day we left!

We went for a drink and we really didn't expect such a wonderful place (as we hadn't searched for it we were just passing around). It offers you relaxed moments with nice view (pool terrace). Staff very friendly, unique aroma in the whole reception area and for sure stands in your memory!

Excellent spacious rooms with every amenity provided & fab views of pools & sea. Comfy bed, pillows etc, powerful shower, self controlled air con & free safe are just some of the included amenities. Very friendly staff who were always willing to help & a special award should go to Veronica in the Lobby Bar for keeping us all refreshed in the evenings & remembering everyone's drinks even when we continuously...

Had the most amazing stay at the Hard Rock Hotel Marbella! Everything is to such a high standard and the attention to detail is amazing! I can’t recommend this hotel enough, the staff are so attentive and really do make sure your stay is the best it possible can be. Will definitely be returning!

I absolutely loved it! This place will (hard) rock the costa. The pool parties are awesome and the restaurant food great (I had the chili burger). If you’re a music lover, you can’t ignore the legendary music memorabilia at the hall. Overall a great experience.

We stayed here last month and very much so recommend the place for anyone considering it. There was two of us in a one bedroom apartment in the Valladolid block, room no. 64 for 5 nights. The hotel itself was clean and spacious with a charming rustic feel, the bar provided excellent options (if service was slightly slow) and breakfast had an impressive selection to choose from each morning. Our apartment...

I had a wonderful stay at Ona Alanda Club Marbella! The entire resort is well-maintained and has a charming, slightly classic touch. The rooms are incredibly spacious with separate bathrooms – perfect for families or groups. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. The value for money is excellent. I’d definitely love to come back!

One of the best place we are staying for a very reasonable price. We book in advance and got % early booking discount. Arriving at place was a Wow! So nice and spacious with fully equipped kitchen. Territory is green, calm, perfect for families with kids. For end March it was quite fresh to use outdoor swimming pools, so we profit from indoor one with jacuzzi and sauna which is open till 10pm. Sea...

I'll be brutally honest I LOVED THIS PLACE FOR PURE SELFISH RESONS...😇😅😅😅.( I stuck the inlaws and grandkids in here for Christmas week rather than staying at my place...... what? Yould do the same if you could huh!!!🤣🤣) But when we had to finely go and see them I was amazed at how big the place was!!! It's got all yould need for a great holiday experience.. apartment massive balcony on every window...

Had a very good few days at Alanda Club, very good service from friendly staff on the front desk, Jesus was especially helpful. Room very spacious, clean and well equipped. Attractive and comfortable restaurant and bar. Spa pool very clean as well as lovely and warm, well equipped and compact gym. Location is super for all amenities and one of the best beaches in Marbella.

Been going here for 20years, favourite place! Apartments are great, always clean and perfect location for the beach with great local restaurants

I had a wonderful stay at the Marriott Vacation Club in Marbella! Everything was spotlessly clean, and the staff provided excellent attention, making us feel truly welcome. The spa was fantastic, especially the hot pool surrounded by beautiful trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Being so close to the sea was a huge bonus, making it easy to enjoy the beach. Highly recommend this resort for a relaxing...

Spent an amazing 7 nights in the resort with family. ideal for young family’s! It literally has everything multiple pools in/outdoor beach on its doorstep playgrounds activities throughout the day to book breakfast buffet and other food options during the day! You will need to rent a car if you want to venture out and its location is also very close to multiple food restaurants. The apartments are...

I’ve been visiting the Marriott Marbella Resort for 20 years, and it remains a beloved destination for our family. Every summer, our kids eagerly anticipate reuniting with friends they’ve made over the years. The resort’s vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a perfect getaway. In recent years, the service has improved significantly, particularly in handling luggage and room transitions. Previously...

What a beautiful property!! Great access to the ocean plus a large family pool area, adults only pool and traditional indoor pool. The resort offers a great variety of activities for kids through teenage family members.

Well designed resort, where staff work hard and are enthusiastic about helping. Buffet breakfast excellent but otherwise El Med restaurant food quality is average. Major drawback is late check in time of 4pm. Considering check out is 10 am why do they need 6 hours for room turnaround? You may get timeshare push but that is to be expected and you can just say no. On site shop charges lot more for some...

It was overall a great resort and a place to stay for summer vacations ☀️😎. But a funny story happened with me and it was that one of the cleaning staff stole my crocs with many charms on it. So I went to reception asking them to resolve the issue but they just told me that they could send an email to the cleaning manager. They did not even try to look for it 😂. So overall I would say it is a good...

Well, we had hoped it would be brilliant....Puente Romano, you were out of this world in every way. From the moment we checked in with Carlos, we felt at home and so welcome. Our 4 year old daughter was greeted with a gorgeous teddy bear and colouring pack , which made her day. Our beautiful sea view room was just perfect, with a huge bathroom and jacuzzi bath. A highlight of our stay was walking through...

A truly magical hotel perfect for couples, families and foodies. The service provided during our stay was amongst the best in the world. The attention to detail is incredible. The choice of restaurants and cuisine within easy walking distance is exceptional. We highly recommend walking through the hotel gardens during the night - wow! 5 star kids club. Buggy service throughout the resort. Private beach...

This was not a destination. I decided to go for a drive on a sunny day, and kept driving until I came to the end of the road. This beautiful place is where the road ended. The views are beautiful, the property is beautiful and service at the restaurant was excellent. Will come back to Spain just to stay here.

Words cannot begin to describe what a fabulous vacation I had at the Puente Romano property in Marbella this Summer. Every restaurant and bar on the property truly understands the meaning of 5 star service. The staff was so friendly and helpful - I cannot wait to come back next year and hopefully see them all again. Special thank you to Francisco who went above and beyond with his assistance and recommendations...

The hotel as a resort is beautiful and has a lot of nice restaurants but be very very very careful with what you bring and leave in the hotel room whether it’s luxury bags or shoes or anything you can’t fit in the safe . In the ten days we were there , three robberies occurred where a lady breaks into the room while the guest are not in , takes specific brand items and leaves . Even though the manager...

The entrance to the hotel in the evenings is extremely busy , but the location can’t be better. The hotel is blocks of 3-4 story buildings . It has a beautiful garden . The car park can be a problem . The hotel reception was not as fancy as expected but the customer service is excellent . The rooms refurbished and has a welcoming atmosphere. I got a garden view and a very quiet room . The only...

I met my husband here in 2001 on a tennis holiday from Surrey. I have since been back with girlfriends and my husband for several holidays and cannot recommend enough! The food is outstanding, staff incredibly courteous and incorporate old fashioned customer service which is incredibly hard to find these days . Staff have been there for years

The good: Staff is super friendly, service is flawless. The Spa is great. The bad: It was recommended to us by a friend. Pictures are deceiving. The building is old. Most it remodeled but it still feels old. Food is terrible. We tried all restaurants and many menu items and the food was simply BAD. The mattress in our room was higher on one side of the bed and it felt like you’d fall off the bed when...

This hotel is beautiful . The only things that spoils the experience is. There are too many steps to go anywhere. If you want to go to the beach it us quite a walk. The food that is served in the Bahia restaurant could be more varied. There is not a good amount of choice. If you don't like fish then you are disappointed.

we had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and I want to express my gratitude, especially to the staff member Sam. The hotel itself was top-notch, with comfortable rooms, an excellent location, and great amenities. However, Sam truly made our stay unforgettable. Her kindness and attentiveness to guests are outstanding. She always went the extra mile to ensure that we felt comfortable and welcomed. Her...

The rooms were old fashioned with dried up pizza crusts on the carpet. The breakfast, lunch at the pool restaurant and garden are phenomenal and lush. Haven’t tried the other restaurants but assume they are good. It’s a hotel which shows its potential, but can’t quite deliver due to the non-corresponding state of the room.

We just came back from Don Carlos, in general all was great. Depends what you expect. The hotel presents themselves like 5 start hotel, however the service and rooms are not 5 star. Territory is very beautiful. Breakfast: 1. Lettuce in the breakfast was not fresh and too much flies (maybe seasonal) 2. Everyone can cut the bread touching it with hands Rooms: Hotel is quite old. Don’t expect to...

Visiting Club Hotel Marbella was an experience I will cherish forever—a truly unforgettable getaway that felt like stepping into a dream. From the moment I arrived, the serene ambiance and warm hospitality made me feel like I was in paradise.

This resort offered a fantastic high quality stay in an amazing garden of Eden type setting. While the resort is quite spread out this is typical of resorts in this area. The buildings are set in a very peaceful and perfectly cared for garden type setting. While in the resort you quickly forget the busy road directly outside the gate and get transported into a whole different environment. This location...

The Marbella Club is a timeless gem on the Costa del Sol, offering exceptional service and luxurious accommodations. The staff’s warm hospitality ensures a memorable stay, while the beautifully appointed rooms provide comfort and elegance. With its mild climate, the resort is an ideal destination year-round, allowing guests to enjoy its stunning beachfront location and lush gardens in any season.

I have stayed at many hotels the world over, and have lived in the area for a very long time, staying and dining at this hotel whenever the occasion presents itself, and I can say comfortably that this is my favourite hotel. It doesn't boast fifty swimming pools or eighty Michelin star restaurants, it doesn't have golden night clubs or restaurants serving steaks with gold on top of them. To some, this...

incredible! we had an amazing time with my family, it was magical! the staff, the hotel and property were beyond what I was expecting! im so excited to go back one ! the breakfast was my favourite part, sitting in the beautiful terrasse, having delicious food with my loved ones, what more can we ask for! thank you for such a memorable stay!

We were there over the weekend to celebrate St. John's Eve as a family. The hotel stands out as a whole for its elegance, nature and, best of all, all its people who make you feel at home and surrounded by family. Thank you.

I recently spent a week in a suite at Gran Hotel Guadalpin Banus and left with a deep appreciation for both its stunning location and the exceptional service provided by the staff. The hotel is perfectly situated right on the beachfront, just a pleasant stroll from the boutiques and marina of Puerto Banús, making it an ideal base for exploring Marbella’s vibrant surroundings. The suite itself was...

It’s an incredibly nice hotel. A bit dated, but very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was also more than decent. I’d definitely stay there again next time.

Best hotel I ever been!! Since you arrive you have the best costumer service, really friendly and helpfull. The views of the rooms are amazing 💖 honestly if you need to decide this is the best one 🔝

We couldn't think better of this hotel. We took a 92 year old relative and they made sure she was well looked after, even lending us a zimmer and a wheelchair so she could get around more easily. Valet parking was a fantastic touch and took the stress out of trying to get her out of the van and find parking. The front desk staff are a shining example of what great customer service looks like and couldn...

Beautiful 5 star hotel, excellent service and friendly staff. Just by the beach and close to puerto banus. Room was really nice with spacious terrace and private hot tub. Was an amazing holiday. Would definitely go back again!!!!

Great Team and Management! Looking forward to visit again. T E S L A Destination Charger works perfectly fine and a lovely location with a clean beach. Special thanks to Ismael for the warm welcome. Everybody was really aLWayS Very professional and kind!

This hotel will make you feel at home. From juan at the reservation department always willing to work with you with fast replies to your requests, at the front desk the team is extremely customer friendly always with a big smile and eager to greet you, juan and Gabriel are extremely willing to help you. Room service has great food! The pasta and the burger and the steak are delicious. Maria at breakfast...

I stayed at the hotel for three nights, and I loved everything about this hotel. I will be coming back. Staff are amazing and very helpful. The room was clean, and it had everything I needed, including toiletries. The Spa is very nice and worth visiting.

The location is perfect. The breakfast was amazing. All options is there. The stuff was nice all services you want you would find the concierge also is great.

Very high quality of service, nice restaurant/breakfast and relax areas. Room is on highest level. Everything 100% worth to recommend. Thank you!

We had a short get away with my sister - 5 days stay. What a lovely place to relax! We didn’t have the most expensive room in the hotel, so I can judge only based on my experience but it had everything you would want - very comfortable bed, it was spacious, clean with a beautiful view on the mountain range, kettle and a good quality coffee machine in the room. The bathroom was spacious and in general...

Room was of good standard; however bed was very hard. Guests were very noisy past 01:00 hours..after alerting reception security were unable to stop the noise, this occured every night during our 3 day stay. The gym had limited machines and was of very poor standard. Furthermore, the spa is not included in the price - they charge 25 euro per use. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

This review is for Abel López Ybarra, the Guest Service Manager. Abel went above and beyond to ensure that our trip to Marbella, Spain was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, he took the time to understand our needs and genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable. Abel handled every detail with precision, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. He even...

Stayed in Supreme Room Front Sea View room. Disappointing not worth the €800+ for one night. Room was nice but the bathroom needs complete replacement. It felt cheap, poorly designed and certainly not what we would expect at that price. The sea view was stunning as were the hotel and grounds. The balcony chairs need replacing as very worn. Breakfast was nice. All staff were friendly. Great location...

The service and warmth of the team at Don Pepe can't be beaten which is why I go back year after year. The grounds and cleanliness of the hotel is superb. Also one of the best breakfasts! Unfortunately some of the rooms are tired and need modernising, but the service makes up for this

I cannot compliment the wonderful staff enough to the warm and elevated service they provide every moment of the day. (Special thank you to the team at Audrey, Red Level Lounge, breakfast and pool service) The hotel also provides high quality at every level in every detail, from the ingredients at the breakfast buffet to the room amenities and maintenance if the property. The nearest restaurants...

Outstanding location, clean rooms, great views, excellent food, and wonderful people. Isabel welcomed us and was very kind to our small family. She was great at getting us reservations. Every person was kind and sincerely wanted to help. The sushi restaurant had great views of the sea, with first class sushi. Steak house was spacious with great selection. Awesome filets. Overall this was an incredible...

Great location and friendly staff. Abel the manager looked after our family so well from start to finish. The staff on the Red Level could not have been more helpful especially Patrica, Irene, Laura, and Pepy. A big thank you to Gonzalo and Flores for looking after us at breakfast. Adrian,Raul,and Rafa have your seats ready for you when you arrive at the pool every morning.GREAT SERVICE.

We stayed here for 8 nights in a family room. It was amazing to be upgraded after one day. (thank you Eva) The rooms are really spacious and clean! However, we want to confirm that this hotel is not at the beach and that for older kids (from 7 years) not the best option. The kids club has mainly only games for very small kids and the beach is too far (on a public road) to send the kids to the beach...

This gem of a hotel sits on a very nice property with plenty of outdoor relaxation (pools) and food options. The beach club is conveniently locate and provides a full-service spa, a nice restaurant/bar, and an awesome infinity pool. The service is impeccable -- attentive and always very pleasant. The rooms are tastefully decorated and very spacious; also well equipped with espresso maker and tea kettle...

The hotel is beautiful with many seating areas and lush gardens. Breakfast is so nice with many varieties and a great view of the sea. Staff goes out of their way to make things extra special. Special mentions: Eva Campos, Guest Services, is so helpful and kind. She always tended to me and helped me set up tennis classes. Manuel at check in always checked to see how my day was going. The front desk...

I am very happy with this hotel. It has beautiful view and gardens. We stayed 5 days, the rooms were cleaned many times during the day. Spacious bed and bathroom with very comfortable mattresses. Big selection of breakfast food. We really enjoyed our time there. The location of the hotel is just 2 minutes from the beach. I will defenitely come back again.

If you're seeking a luxurious retreat that surpasses the experience offered by standard five-star hotels, then look no further than the Beach Club Estrella Del Mar. This exclusive beach club provides a remarkable experience that is sure to leave an indelible impression. As soon as you arrive, you'll be greeted by a team of consummate professionals who are dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing...

Very lovely hotel. Ordering a tbone steak was 78eur! Bit of a shock when we got the bill. More expensive than London.
