Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort

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 items but still used as it saves a trip in extreme heat with family lugging all your stuff back. Overall excellent stay however, fun for kids, deeply relaxing for adults, apartments and kitchens are outstanding. Swim pools are amazing and pebble beach at doorstep is a bonus. Greenery is so soothing with a nice breeze sitting on the balcony - amazing! Love it.

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, we faced some challenges with these aspects, but since last year, the staff has been incredibly accommodating, even allowing extra time in our rooms during transitions. This thoughtful change has made our stays much more comfortable.

The resort itself is beautiful, with well-maintained grounds and plenty of activities for all ages. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying the beach, or exploring the local area, there’s always something to do.

Overall, Marriott Marbella Resort is a wonderful place for families, and I highly recommend it for a memorable vacation.

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.

One of our favorite vacation spots. Davide and his team make it a memorable week for sure. Parking is convenient and rooms are very clean. Concierge desk is helpful and can book great places like Granada, Gibraltar, Ronda, Malaga....all wonderful places to explore. Enjoy!

This is such a lovely place. We come almost every year for at least 2 weeks. It's comfortable for families, couples, and singles. The staff are always eager to please, El Med is great, and the grounds are impeccable.

Loved our four night stay here. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. Plenty of room for a family of four. The amenities were great throughout. The pools and hot tubs were awesome. Restaurants were good. Beaches were awesome. Rooms were clean and offered regular cleaning daily. Towels were plentiful. Kitchen is well stocked.

The staff are wonderful and helpful throughout. They were so friendly and nice with our kids. Made us feel welcomed! Would most definitely recommend this resort and I would love to come back and stay again!

Minor constructive feedback would be:

1) Because I extended my stay twice, I had to go down to the lobby and pay with my Credit Card (CC) and enter my pin three times. Seems like an unnecessary hassle considering this is the first time I’ve had to do that at a hotel anywhere I’ve stayed. They already have my CC information at check in. Just charge my CC once at the end of the stay.

2) Coffee! Sorry to nitpick but coffee in the rooms was not good and that’s an understatement. The coffee at the market was an automatic machine that was poor as well. The only palatable coffee we found was at the beachfront restaurant (forgot the name) but they start operating the espresso machine at 11. Seems minor but it would really elevate the stay to be able to wake up and have a nice cup of coffee on the patio.

The Marriott Marbella Beach Club Resort, located near Elviria, was wonderful. The resort sits between Malaga and Marbella, and the location was perfect for us. We had easy access to a bus that took us to Marbella in one direction, or Fuengarola the other way, so we could catch the train for day trips to Malaga. Our two bedroom apartment was beautiful, clean, and well-equipped, and it had a lovely, spacious terrace over-looking two pools. It was perfect for the one day we entertained there. The onsite marketplace was ideal for our daily needs, and the resort was located within easy walking distance of the Supercor and restaurants/bars in Elviria, if we required anything more. The staff at the resort were always helpful and informative, and as for the food, we most enjoyed our meals at the onsite El Med restaurant and Charlie's Bar. We will never forget your decadent olive oil or the delicious strawberry daiquiris we drank at the Chill Bar, by the main pool and the beach. This is a fabulous resort, and my family and I would definitely stay there again. A 10 out of 10 experience for our first visit to Spain.

Title: A Memorable Christmas Stay at Marbella Marriott Beach Resort

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Marbella Marriott Beach Resort over the Christmas holidays, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly and attentive staff who made us feel right at home.

The first thing that caught our attention was the cleanliness of the rooms. Our accommodation was spotless, and it was evident that the resort takes great pride in maintaining high standards of cleanliness. The beds were comfortable, and the room had all the amenities we needed for a cozy and relaxing stay.

One of the highlights of our stay was the heated swimming pools. Despite the cooler weather during winter, we were still able to enjoy a refreshing swim. The pools were clean and well-maintained, and the water temperature was perfect. We also made use of the outside jacuzzi, which was a wonderful way to unwind and soak up the stunning views of the beach.

Speaking of the beach, the direct access from the resort was a major plus. We loved being able to step out of the hotel and onto the sandy shores of Marbella. The beach itself was beautiful, and we enjoyed long walks along the coastline and watching the mesmerizing sunsets.

The resort also impressed us with its spacious and comfortable two-bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms. It was the perfect setup for our family, providing privacy and ample space for everyone. The rooms were well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Last but not least, I have to commend the staff for their exceptional service. From the reception desk to the restaurants, everyone was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. They were attentive to our needs and provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining options.

Overall, our stay at the Marbella Marriott Beach Resort was everything we could have hoped for and more. The combination of clean and comfortable rooms, heated swimming pools, outside jacuzzi, direct beach access, and the attentive staff made for a truly enjoyable experience. Whether you're visiting during the holiday season or any other time of the year, I highly recommend this resort for a memorable stay in Marbella.
