Lovely rooms, lovely pool area. Great breakfast . Steps from the beach . Yes, it's very expensive , but worth it ! The staff can perhaps be more friendly , but more pluses !

We traveled here from the USA and when we were told the prices and that this was a five star property, we expected just that. It is definitely not. Upon check-in, we encountered a very aggressive tone from the receptionist. Almost making us feel like she was doing us a favor by checking us in. The property has a slightly... More

This is an excellent choice of hotel in the Marbella area. We stayed in a reconditioned room which was quite good, and keenly priced.

My friend and I stayed here for two nights and were pampered form arrival to departure. The staff exceed expectations for service in all ways - check in, restaurants, etc. The grounds are beautiful and it is ideally situated. The inside decor is a little dated but clean and rooms are big. Free Wi-fi works everywhere. The gym is modern... More
