We are avid golfers and understand that resort courses are different from pro/tournament courses. However, this course needs quite a bit of attention and up-keep. The tee boxes and greens are not in good shape. However, the quaint clubhouse, staff and food are very good.

This museum is tucked away at the edge of the old town - the opposite end from the sea. We went because it was raining (yes bad weather for us in the capital of sun) but the rain did us a favour. Really enjoyed wandering around the gardens outside and even more enjoyed the museum itself. The water gardens and... More

This is a small museum but really enjoyable in a nice atmosphere. Good price and our children had a very nice time.

The bonsai museum is cool, but hidden in a quiet park which didn't smell very nice. Maybe in summer holiday time it will be busier, but at the time we visited, nobody was there.

For plant lovers this visit is a real must, and is easy to find just outside the old part of the city, although parking isn't that easy nearby. I would allow at least half an hour to be able to admire these wonderfully cared for bonzais - many far older than the majority of humans who care for them today!

Having gone to Marbella for a relaxing beach holiday I was surprised to find such a unique place. The Japanese style house hosted a wide array of bonsai trees of different types and ages, some even older than 500 years! Another plus was the lovely park surrounding the museum, nice place to cool down after a visit to the old... More

E4 entry, pretty impressive setting for a range of bonsai up to 500 yrs old. Set in a lovely park, with walks, a lake and full of locals. Just on the edge of the old town, outside the shadow od the castle.

The Bonsai Museum is a bit off the beaten track if you don't know Marbella. It's at the back of the Old Town, so you have to hoof it a biot, but it's a joy once you get there. It's rather incongruous. Marbella is a place known for its nightlife, you don't expect to see a really good Bonsai Museum.... More
