5 star hotels in Marbella

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...

What a heavenly place. The staff are all, without exception, 5*. The hotel's restaurant deserves accolades from the best, but to put it simply here, phenomenal food and service. The facilities are second to none with the pool, tennis, gym and beach. Its paradise. A few special mentions - Libby and Tony in Guest Experience. Isias, Nora and the manager (?name) in Los Naranjos.The kitchen/chef in Los...

We had such an exceptional experience at Don Carlos. First off, shout out to some very special people! Ikram- for making our stay exceptional from the moment we got there. She genuinely cared about our experience and she is such a special person. Her energy is amazing! The Don Carlos team is lucky to have her! Patricia was always so happy to see us and happy to help help, a smiling face and full of...

Fantastic resort with beautiful rooms and since the whole resort was renovated recently, everything looks good, pretty, and comfortable! The service was great from the first to the last minute and thank you to Adrian at the reception for his warm welcome and for upgrading us to a junior suit with sea view upon arrival at 23h00 after an exhausting journey! Great gardens and beach club too, and also...

All the staffs are extremely warm and kind, always smile and professional. We had a very lovely and happy holidays in the hotel. They have one of the best swimming pools, proper 25m long and depth from 1.5m-3m! They have one of the best tennis training centres in this country, the quality of the tennis facilities is at very high standards. They have a very well organised kids clubs with full of activities...

I had a wonderful stay at Don Carlos Marbella. The hotel is truly beautiful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel instantly relaxed. The staff were extraordinary – always attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was excellent, offering both variety and quality, with something to please every taste. A highlight of my stay...

This is a five-star resort in Marbella. It’s located 45 minutes away from Malaga Airport. We stayed there for 9 nights in a premium room with a sea view. We were 2 adults and a child. The room was spacious and had a sofa bed and our child. The room had a small balcony with an amazing view of the sea. Breakfast was a bit simple and small. There are two pools only, one for adults and one for toddlers...

Having been regulars at the previous Meliá hotel we were excited to try the new ME hotel. Before we arrived we were a bit worried it was more of an adult only hotel as were booked with our 12 year old son. Initially he wasn’t happy that the main swimming pool was adults only and he could no longer swim in there. There was a brand new pool (where the previous adults only pool used to be) but not a...

It is safe to say that the ME have done a superb job on the recent renovations. They literally have transformed a very tired hotel. From the time one walks in it is so impressive and the Team working there as fantastic as other Miele Hotels I had had the pleasure to stay in 💞 The Pool side areas are incredible and are extremely bling & Comfortable . I lived in Dubai for a decade and in Dubai we are...

Stunning hotel albeit rather empty assuming to do with prices as the area in general was busy. Location is lovely backs right on to the beach and a small walk to some lovely restaurants. Reception staff were lovely and cleaning staff on point. Bar and restaurant staff little stand offish for a 5 star hotel some couldn't be bothered to get what you asked for and considering the amount of staff they...

I stayed there for 14 days, and this was my first time back since the renovations (I was last there in 2023). I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at ME Marbelle. The renovations have lifted the entire place drastically, but the most important improvement, and this was felt throughout my two-week stay, was the friendliness of the staff. Shout out to Agata, who was part of the Aura Team! You and the team were...

Lovely break at hotel which has been refurbished to a high standard. Delicious breakfast. Ambient atmosphere at pool with dj day and night. Good location to walk into Puerto Banus. Exceptional service from hotel manager.

I’m so glad we stayed at this amazing hotel. We loved everything about it. It has a very luxurious feel with chill vibes. The rooms were so comfortable and new. The staff and service were really special. I loved hanging by the pool and the restaurants. It is located walking distance to the beach, shops and Puerto Banùs. We created so many great memories in this place that i will definitely be back

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...

The hotel does not deserve 5 stars. The cleaning was average. The hotel is quite old. If I come again, will I stay or not?

Fantastic hotel, super atmospheric, delicious, fresh food, where there is an atmosphere of an exclusive restaurant and not a canteen like in some hotels. Excellent, quiet location, beautiful rooms, everything is great, even such details as bathroom cosmetics, decent towels, comfortable beds. The staff tries very hard. We will definitely come back. We recommend

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.

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.

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

This is a lovely hotel… especially if you are looking for great golf, and a bit of luxury at the same time. The hotel is lovely, as are the rooms. The food in the restaurant was excellent, and reasonable, and with a free shuttle bus to Marbella (absolutely nothing near the hotel) you have a choice. The golf was brilliant, 3 9 hole course with B and C especially really fun to play, and great quality...

Very serene and pretty location. Beautiful rooms, extremely clean facility. Hotel staff was very nice. Food in the restaurant at the hotel was delicious. Buffet breakfast was very good on the outside patio. Would certainly come back here again.

Stayed in a deluxe twin queen bed room which was sold as suitable for 4 people. The queen beds were only 150cm wide and not suitable for 2 to share unless they are small children. You could not even have 2 pillows side by side. The hotel did at least provide a rollaway bed for free when I raised this. Our bathroom needed some renovation. Aspects of 5 star service not there eg, no offer to help with...

Beautiful resort removed from the beach, which provides some benefits as the large pool and 27 holes of golf will allow some relaxation away from the high energy of the beaches. The rooms are light and airy and the food was of high quality.

What an amazing experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are large with beautiful balconies and sunrise views. An amazing buffet breakfast with a wonderful staff. Free shuttles to the port and town. Modern and light lobby. Unbelievable and refreshing large pool. Located in a safe and upscale neighborhood. Would go back in a minute.

After almost two years we decided to come back to the La Quinta for our short break in Marbella. We got a really nice room and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. In particular I would like to mention the friendliness and professionalism of the staff at the reception ( two person in particular ) . They were even able to communicate with us in our language ( German ). The breakfast variety was very good ass...

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for three nights. Immaculate condition. Clean & tastefully decorated and furnished. Beds are very comfortable. I can not find any faults. 5 minutes walk from a very clean beach But it's a bit far away from all the amintes. If you have a car no problem. FYI.bus 220 ten minutes walk will take you to the haert of marbella .

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed. The staff really are super friendly and nice. You get a great view of the beach and of the area. When you arrive the staff are very helpful and kind to you and make you feel like your going to have a great Stay with them. The room i Stayed in was very sweet and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was exceptional, with a wide variety of fresh, delicious options...

Fantastic hotel. Rooms are spacious with separate bath/shower. Breakfast was both of the menu and buffet and a good selection for lunch/daytimes (we didn’t have dinner there) Very relaxed atmosphere throughout. The only downside for us was the service throughout the day at the 2 outside bars was very laid back despite the hotel appearing not to be full. Could be the only person at the bar and having...

The hotel is truly worth recommending, I’m incredibly happy that we chose to stay there. First of all, and most importantly for us, it’s very quiet and peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax. The gardens are stunning, and the hotel itself is very modern and beautifully designed. Another highlight was the breakfast, it was absolutely delicious. There’s a menu, but also a buffet, and we enjoyed...

We just had the most wonderful experience at the Gran Resort & Hotel Marbella! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. They even upgraded us to a suite because we were celebrating our engagement, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room itself was gorgeous, with a beautiful view that really...

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

We stayed for four nights in October 2025. We found the resort to be excellent, with a spacious room, multiple pools plus beach access and a generous included breakfast that included both a buffet and a menu. The room amenities were five star and the small touches like included softdrinks and snacks were much appreciated. We did not eat in the restaurants during our stay because their prices were very...

A truly lovely hotel,, with charm, history and top level service. Sits right on the beach but also offers winding gardens, restaurants tucked into beautiful patios and all the recreation you would want. Food options throughout the day are plentiful and delicious. Marbella can be hectic; not so when you find the gracious gates and warm greetings of the Marbella Club.

Marbella Club, is truly Beyond Magical. My stay here was not just a WORKcation, but a transcendent escape. From the moment I stepped into the Andalusian sun, the experience was pure, uninterrupted bliss. The views from my balcony felt like a secret panorama of the Mediterranean, and the service was simply impeccable.

10/10 most amazing hotel! Service very good, people are really kind, everything you ask is possible! Food is really good and a delicious breakfast! Love this place, hopefully coming back soon!

The service is very good — everyone is extremely attentive all the time. However, the room was quite outdated for what you would expect from a hotel of this category. The furniture looks old and very worn, and the décor is rather unattractive. The food offered through room service leaves a lot to be desired, especially considering the prices. A Caesar salad costs almost €40, and there’s really nothing...

This feels like a dreamresort and the best we ever visited. Everything is so well-mainted, clean and fresh smell. It was such a great pleasure to make a visit there. So many facilities like a wellness spa, kidsclub and you can walk straightaway into the beach and clear sea. Even the pool and bar is amazing. Beautiful location and awesome service from the staff, they so friendly and helpful. As a guest...

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!!

It was our second stay at Nobu Marbella, which we chose to celebrate our engagement, and it was confirmed as simply the best place on earth! From the incredible location, the amazing gastronomic experiences, fabulous room, and impeccable service that literally every staff member provides to make your moments to remember, it is really like stepping into a different dimension, which shines among any...

Fantastic hotel that has an upscale tropical resort feel. We were upgraded for our anniversary and the hotel was extremely helpful with reservations and everything we could need. All of the grounds are beautifully maintained and it is definitely the most happening place in Marbella. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for a mix of relaxation and fun, lively nights out at excellent restaurants...

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...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Nobu Hotel in Marbella, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring a seamless check-in process. The room exceeded our expectations with its elegant decor and luxurious amenities, providing a perfect blend of comfort and style. The hotel's location is ideal, offering easy access to...

Nobu Hotel Marbella offers an unforgettable experience with its top-notch service, breathtaking views, and luxurious amenities. From the moment you arrive, the attentive staff ensures your every need is met. The pool area is a paradise, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the Spanish sun. The culinary delights served at the hotel are a true delight, and the fresh drinks add to the indulgence. As night...

I love this hotel! It’s a luxury accommodation. The place was clean, service was great. Everyone was smiling and people treated me really well. Even the smell was amazing. Highly recommended!
