5 star hotels in Marbella

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...

Really nice hotel, ideal location as it is very close to the main areas we wanted to visit, the hotel itself was clean and fairly high standard. Not a 5 star but would certainly say it is good. Breakfast is lovely, it feels nice and fresh and the lady at the egg counter in the morning is lovely, she makes an effort with all the people staying at the hotel and even made an effort to say bye on our last...

Classical Spanish architecture, beautiful, tropical gardens and consistently good food. Peak season tends to give me the impression that the relatively inexperienced waiters can't cope with the numbers. It feels like a frenzy. Other than that, if it wasn't for Puente Romano, Marbella Club, and Don Pepe, I can think of many other destinations in Europe where I would rather be, including the Emerald...

Unbelievable resort. Beautiful gardens, grounds close to beach and everything. Most accommodating staff. Great breakfast buffet. Fantastic spa and service. Small boutique was wonderful. Room was spacious and well appointed.

Nice luxury hotel, warm welcome at the reception with some welcome drinks and the staff were very friendly. The anniversary room service surprise was an extremely nice detail. Rooms quite spacious, neat and clean and a wide variety of breakfast items. Will definitely repeat again

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.

Outstanding location, superb facilities and friendly staff. I highly recommend to stay on red level. The pool area is fantastic specially the area near the bar and glass rails. We enjoyed the food in all restaurants and they didn’t disappoint. We tried the beach area one day and we loved it but did miss the very attentive staff of the pool area. Easy walk to town.

A superb hotel in a great location and the staff are just brilliant. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special, the check in was seamless, a nice cold glass of Cava whilst we were allocated the room, it was so nice. We had a really nice room , so spacious and everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely, Isobel made us so welcome and looked after my wife and I , she was really friendly...

The hotel was a great venue, the room was great, the personnel lovely and the pool/beach very well maintained. Only issue was the hotel bar closing very early (10:30pm), we were expecting such venue would keep the bar open until midnight/1am especially when willing to pay customers are here (we were a ground of 20). So if you are an early bird and don't like to stay until late at night, this is probably...

This hotel is absolutely stunning! The facilities are top-notch, especially the expansive garden and pool area, perfect for both relaxation and family fun. The kids club staff is very friendly, providing ample space and activities like table tennis, little volleyball area, football and lots of more. Plus, the breakfast offers a delightful variety, served by attentive and welcoming staff. Overall, it...

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...

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...

Very matured hotel and stuff are very friendly. Beautiful breakfast and cafe inside

Just home from a fabulous meal for Noche Buena, I've been coming to this hotel for a lot of years, and can honestly say it's top noche, food, staff, ambiance. Thank you all for making my Christmas.....gracias a todos

Beautiful hotel, lovely staff that couldn't do enough for us

Gorgeous hotel. Really clean and rooms are spacious and really comfortable. Staff are excellent. Antonio on reception is so helpful. Courtesy transport to La Cabane beach club which is very luxurious. Highly recommended

Great hotel and amazing pool! All the staff very cordial and professional but Xavi in the restaurant the best! Anti COVID measures very good!

I absolutely loved the hotel, service and luxury feel. The food was delicious (expensive but delicious). La Cabane was out of this world and I hope to be back. Exceeded expectations. I practised my spanish but the staff had excellent English. Weddings every week although I heard and saw nothing. I can see why it's popular to be married there. It would be a dream wedding. Dream location, 100% recommend

The staff, the room was nice, nice gardens, the champagne on arrival, the spa, WiFi, the Molton brown products

Everything! The facilities, the staff, the hotel, the food. Everything met and exceeded our expectations! I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to have a relaxing, luxurious time.

Wonderful Experience 😎

Actual hotel I can't fault and the beach. Would direct you towards central marbella if you want more activity. Great little supermarket area over the bridge for food and supplies

Very friendly and professional stuff. Nice resort. Thank you

Absolutely stunning. Amazing service, beautiful place, like the booklet says, it has it all, from spa to clubbing, pools, fitness, tennis, fantastic morning buffet. Loved every piece of it.

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 visited The Art located in the Golden Mile Center, right in front of Marbella Club, and I must say, the place is amazing! The staff is incredibly cordial, and the selection of products they offer to furnish your home is top-notch. They have very competitive prices and work efficiently. The entire experience was delightful, and I love it. I'll definitely be back!

It's not my style. I just step in to see how it looks inside.... Great location, wonderful garden, but NOT the type of hotel that I like.🤷🏼‍♀️ Old fashioned, with bungalows or type of small houses like in Asian Islands (with gated windows).... the roads, walking passes in briks. However, it is very popular by high-class tourists. Depends on what people like. Different people, different tastes...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Marcella Club Hotel & Resorts during my visit to the beautiful Costa del Sol in South Spain. From start to finish, my experience at this resort exceeded all expectations. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendly and attentive staff who made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and I was quickly...

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!

The Great Hotel Guadalpin Banus is a fantastic hotel located on the beach of Puerto Banús where you can rest and enjoy in the spacious rooms and magnificent terraces overlooking the sea, very close to the famous Ocean Club, the beach is full of bars and restaurants where you can You can eat very well, you can take a walk by the sea to San Pedro Alcántara and Marbella, international atmosphere, excellent...

Awesome place. The junior suite was fantastic and well equipped. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was excellent. Great location, just a short stroll to the marina. Would definitely recommend this Hotel and looking forward to getting back soon.

Total ridiculousness to pay expensive money for a hotel by the ocean and then they will charge you extra 15€ for a deck chair by the ocean. Stupidity. The hotel is worn down and sewers to old… smelly bathroom. Superior rooms are small. Restaurant with okey breakfast. Elevators; one broken and the second sounded like it would be broken soon. Staff friendly and nice calm area ethics 15 min walk to harbor...

Nice overall hotel with great access to the beach. Nice restaurants with beach view. Good service.

One of the more civilised places near the hellhole that is Puerto Banus. Food reasonably good and reasonably priced.

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.

Unfortunately not all spa and swimming facilities were open during our stay in February. Service was for the rest brilliant! Thanks for the great time.

Best hotel ever in Marbella ! Thanks Ede for the best service ever ! I come every month to Marbella ! And its still and always a big pleasure to stay in this hôtel ! See you next month Alanda hotel

Great location near the beach and good beach clubs are near by. The garden rooms are the best

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...

i really liked the design, restaurant/bar the location did not work for me as a break but fine as i was on business. the road outside is quite noisy. the rooms were a little cramped but still really nice design (maybe too much brown). lots of nice high tech features and v good wifi. the fillet steak was unreal and will definitely come back to eat here again.

OK… so this place is trying very hard to be really cool and for the most part it’s succeeding. The location isn’t great, it’s right next to the main road and the traffic noise is unavoidable in the restaurant (even with the loud house music pumping out) but the rooms themselves are quiet. The pool areas are great with good sun beds and a chilled out ambience, and the outdoor gym is well equipped...

Room and pool were great. Houskeeping was exceptional. However service at pool was very slow (1hr for food most days) and food was generally average 3/5 in restaurant. The main road is also quite noisy all day if you have a room overlooking it.

We went for lunch and the food is excellent, but expensive. Personally I find it worth the price. Service is friendly and professional and I LOVE that music is very soft in the background so one can have a normal conversation. Also, the spacing of the table allows for sufficient privacy. I am definitely coming again as soon as possible!!

Great hotel, food amazing and staff service is exceptional. 3 x 9 holes golf course at a very high standard. Greens and fairways in exceptional conditions. Close to Marbella town centre as well.

Positives Really nice location in the hills above Marbella. Very nice property with airy rooms set around an unheated pool. Excellent professional friendly staff. Decent quality food and drink Free shuttle into Marbella Negatives Paid for valet parking Lovely grounds that need a bit more care and attention. Guests that vape and/or smoke as they please. Overall, I recommend this property however...

Beautiful hotel with view on the sea, big clean comfortable rooms, nice terraces, beautiful inside garden; food was good, the service was great. This place is perfect for summits because it has a nice big conference room. I would not choose it for a summer vacation because the beach is far. But it's the perfect place to play golf and to rest.

Wonderful location everywhere opportunity for golfing, service was perfect and very friendly employees food was good, beds were also good rooms they need some upgrade but there were comfortable and everything was very clean! Should I go back to this resort? Yess I will I was very satisfied 👌😊

Stunning hotel with lovely staff. Reception staff were warm and welcoming, housekeeping staff were lovely and greeted me every time in the corridors, Daniel at the bar made us feel at home and makes great cocktails. I had fun playing golf, had a relaxing time at the gorgeous spa, and then enjoyed the views of Marbella from the hotel. Breakfast was delicious, and eating outside with the view of the...

We stayed here for a few nights during the summer. The property itself is very beautiful and relaxing, very quiet. Gorgeous pool and plenty of chairs to find a place to lay out. The room was a great size with a large bathroom. We had a great balcony and was a great space to have drinks in the evening but a bit odd since you can see your neighbors. No privacy wall. Location is okay if you don't...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Nobu Hotel Marbella in December, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had! December is truly an ideal time to visit, with lovely temperatures that make exploring the area enjoyable without the massive summer crowds. The hotel itself is a stunning blend of contemporary luxury and vibrant design, perfectly reflecting...

Great place, the beach is a 2-minute walk away. The staff is polite. The food is delicious. I recommend the hotel to visit and give it 5 stars
