We have been to this hotel on numerous occasions, and each time it gets better and better. The location is fantastic, right on the beach front, yet raised up so no one can look in. The location is quiet, yet 5 minutes and you are in Orange Square. The staff are courteous, yet unobtrusive. A warm welcome always guaranteed. ........... more

I have read the other reviews and they are mostly accruate, The hotel is right on the seafront with direct access to the promonade. It is a few minutes walk to the restaurants and bars on the sea front and also inland and into the old town. I don't think there is a better location in Marbella. The hotel is... more

Very good Location near the Beach of Marbella and not far from historic CityCentre. Very Quiet Location. Very Easy Equiped Rooms. But at that Rate really Worth it. But forget the breakfast. No WiFi, but PCs in the Lobby that can be used. more

Book a seaview room or at least a side sea view; it is more expensive but worth it.You can have a drink on your balcony overlooking the gardens and the sea. The sea is 20 metres from the hotel.It could not be better positioned. There is a rush with peope reserving loungers BEFORE breakfast( and no they are not all... more

My wife & I took a weeks break here from 19th September. The location is just great. Access to the 'Promonade' is directly from the Hotel grounds. The Old Town and Plaza de los Naranja are a short walk away. Overall the Hotel is clean and well looked after. On arrival reception was quite good. Over the week some inconsistancies... more

Toilet was... more

The El Fuerte is a lucky hotel. It is lucky in its location, in its dedicated staff and in its owners; although they own a string of other hotels, one feels that this on is their favourite; the jewel in the crown. Each time we talked with the desk clerk, there was a sense of engagement and desire to help.... more

I read other reviews and agree with most so won't just repeat all what has been said before. However, we must have been lucky on arrival because we were attended to immediately and in our room within 10 minutes. We had a side sea view and although the balcony was large enough with 2 chairs, our side got the sun... more

We stayed at El Fuerte, Marebella and just loved it. We booked a room with a side seaview but we were upgraded to an ocean view room when we checked in. The room was really beautifully appointed, with lovely colors, elegant woods and pretty architectural details. The beddings were soft and silky, and the bed comfortable. It was a plus... more
