5 star hotels in Marbella

Just got back from a wonderful stay! The resort offered fantastic walking paths right next to the sea – a real highlight. The large and inviting pool area was also a big plus and really contributed to the relaxation. A small downside, however, was that the rooms and furniture felt a bit worn and could benefit from a refresh. Despite that, the positive aspects outweigh the negatives, and I could definitely...

Break from Radiotherapy at St James Hospital We have stopped at Leeds Marriott a number of times during my cancer treatment at St James Hospital Leeds. The staff have been great, very good food in Gino d ACampo has been perfect. Thanks.

The rooms are spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our week stay. The various lawn games throughout the property were a hit for our family. We also enjoyed the indoor pools and outdoor hot tubs (Jan stay), and were pleased with the cleanliness of the entire resort. A great place to relax and unwind.

Very large size apartments and a very well equipped kitchen. We visited with our 2 kids in December and the heated indoor pool and outside Jacuzzi were very enjoyable. The property has easy beach access and towels/robes are provided by Marriott. Nice bar and restaurants for the adults to unwind at the end of the day. I'd definitely recommend this property for familes

Lovely resort, so clean, very secure with on site security. One very large family pool and small adults only pool, front line beach steps away. Very nice restaurant and chill out bar restaurant. On site supermarket which is super convenient with lots of choice. Very nice gym with heated indoor pool. Changing rooms with steam room and sauna in each of the ladies and men’s. Only moan is you can only...

Marriott as expected Tuulahdus Amerikkaa Espanjassa. Kaikki toimii niinkuin pitääkin. Erikoista on resortin alueelle suhteellisen tiukka kulunvalvonta. Laadukas majoitus, mutta ikä alkaa jo hiukan näkyä ylläpidosta huolimatta.

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...

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...

Beautiful brand new renovated hotel! The most amazing beaches of your life a brand new lush, full beautiful chairs. They just renovated this hotel and although they're working out their operational issues, this is a beautiful location located right with Nikki Beach right in front and a new brand new beach club as well. That's a super relaxing. All of the rooms are brand new and gorgeous and upgraded...

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

I ordered it for my boss. Judging from his feedback, it should be quite good.

Friendly staff. Beautiful setting. Rooms clean and comfy beds. Rooms maybe in need of a refurb. But I’ve heard that is coming. The rest of the hotel is immaculate.

We enjoyed our stay again at Don Carlos and the staff always shine, the breakfast experience is wonderful and though the hotel is due for complete refurbishment shortly, it still exudes quality We 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 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.

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

A very nice seaside resort hotel. It's very convenient to drive here. It's right next to the highway and not far from the coast. The only regret is that there is no private beach in the hotel. The public beach area is a bit messy and not the most beautiful part of the coastline, but the hotel is surrounded by It’s very comfortable to walk around in the villa area.

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.

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.

Beautiful resort close to Marbella. Wonderful staff and great food. Rooms are ok (without the balcony are very small but if you have the balcony it's perfect).We've made so many great memories and would like to emphasize the AMAZING Animation Team,their hard work and great entertainment (aqua gym,daily games,movie quiz...). Hopefully we will come here again ♥️

Excellent hotel!!! It has excellent facilities and all the comforts, highly recommended for couples, family, and friends!!!!

I am going to give this 5 stars all the way. 👍 If value for money is a consideration I doubt you will find better value in Marbella. (This is a resort rather than a hotel). The rooms are in buildings dotted around the swimming pools and alleyways, like a Spanish pueblo. The rooms are spotless, with balconies, Wi-Fi and wicker furniture. Rustic/cosy ! The food is varied, Spanish/Andalusian style with...

5 Stars – Great Family Stay! Stayed: 3rd–7th April We had a fantastic time at BlueBay Banus! I flew out with my family for a short break, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The staff were absolutely lovely—friendly, helpful, and always welcoming. The hotel and grounds were very clean and well maintained, which made a great impression from the start. The location is excellent, with easy...

Nice place to stay, highly recommended.

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...

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

Food was fantastic. Drinks menu at the bar could use improvement as very alcoholic!

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.

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.

After having sold our appartment last year I was excited to find a hotel nearby in Elviria to come back too. What stands out mostly is the cleanliness, the staff are all friendly, so much choice for breakfast buffet and dinner buffet. Our 1 bedroom apartment was so large and had everything you needed. Couple of little things needed sorting and they were straight onto it 😀. It's close to the beach...

My stay at the hotel has been fantastic. The atmosphere was great, and everything was well-organized and clean. I especially want to highlight the amazing work of the entertainers, Alma and Carmen. They were truly wonderful with my two kids, so caring, friendly, and full of energy. My kids had an incredible time thanks to them, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Thank...

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...

The apartment was huge with 3 bathrooms and very comfortable. The staff were amazing. The breakfast buffet was definitely worth the money. Restaurants and 2 supermarkets 5 minute walk away. Buses easy to get to Marbella. Would definitely visit again.

I'm just back from a family holiday at the Alanda Club Marbella (Elviria), where we all had a fab break. The apartment is spotlessly clean and plenty of room for 6 people. The beds are extremely comfortable and the pull-out sofa beds lifts up to the height of the sofa into a double size bed, so perfect for two adults. There is also a heated indoor pool which is lovely too. Staff are so helpful...

Thank you to Jose at reception. We had a fabulous time and nothing was to much for him. He helped us with everything. Rooms were clean and tidy and Jose made us feel at home. Thank you for everything you did for our family. We enjoyed a fabulous few days away
