“AMAZING!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013 via mobile

Stay here for our second time, this resort is so lovely, clean and tidy. Perfect location for seeing Marbella and relaxing by the pool. The facilities are second to any and the service first class. We are already planning on returning in the summer. This is the perfect base for a holiday.

“Excellent all around”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

We stayed 2 weeks at the resort and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences. We had a two bedrooms apartment spacious and lavishly furnished with a FULLY equipped kitchen. The staff was attentive, helpful and cordial trying to accommodate us.

Room Tip: The apartments in 40 A or B have both a nice view and are located next to the parking area.

“enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

Stayed here twice last year, in May and early November. It's a great resort for families.
The apartments are great, really spacious and good quality, there are great facilities (several pools, top quality gym, exercise studio etc) and you can walk down to beach below hotel. You probably need a car unless you are happy to stay in the resort, there is plenty to see in the area.
The only thing we were disappointed with was the Chill Bar and El Med restaurant. The staff here just do not seem very interested or happy in their jobs. On both holidays we had to ask several times for a menu, to make an order, for a drink etc and the service was incredibly slow, the food was ok but nothing special. This happened even when there was almost no other customers. We asked other guests and they said it's always been like that! It would be nice to see management sort it out because overall I was really impressed with the resort.

“High quality resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

I've stayed at both of Marriott's Costa del Sol resorts and although the Marbella one is the older of the two the standard is equally impressive. This really is a high quality destination, ideally placed for a variety of golf courses, the beach, Marbella old town and Malaga. Our apartment was spacious, very well equipped and the bed and shower were simply wonderful - I can't remember sleeping so well. The resort is clean, well maintained, very safe and the facilities on offer include pools, a spa, a gym, a mini-market and a variety of bars and restaurants - all are of good quality. You really do need a car to make the most of your stay, although the Elviria area does offer a reasonable selection of shops and restaurants, which are about 15 minutes walk away. Overall, highly recommended.

Room Tip: Opt for a high level apartment with a sea view, it's the perfect start to the day.

“Great family timeshare resort.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013 via mobile

Definitely value for money when you get a 3 bedroom apartment for a 2 bedroom property swap like we did.

Really need a car if you stay at this resort. We went in February ( off peak season). The resort was very quiet; which we liked actually. Some of the restaurants and bars aren't open particularly the ones that are alfresco. Outside pools are open but too cold to use. The indoor pools aren't overcrowded though, so we managed to use the pool most days.

I must mention that the kids' club / crèche is brilliant; my little girl who was 3 1/2 at the time wanted to go everyday and was most upset with us when we took her sightseeing. Even when we went to Gibraltar to go on a dolphin safari boat trip she said she much preferred going to the kids' club!!
