DislikedNothing at all
“Everything a hotel should be”
LikedEverything! The room was immaculate and well furnished. The pool and pool deck was fantastic. The hotel is particularly about where guests can smoke. Very comfortable bed. The buffet breakfadt must of had 100 items plus made to order eggs, waffles and crepes.
DislikedI liked everything!
“A jewel! Great style, perfect location and exceptional good service!”
LikedA jewel! Great style, perfect location and exceptional good service! Wonderful views, delicious, opulent breakfast!
“Superb waterfront hotel with friendly and attentive service”
LikedWe came with our two older daughters and loved the location close to the beach and the old town with its many shops and restaurants. Even though one is so close to everything, due to its location above the beachside promenade, you can retreat to the terrace and pool area and still see the ocean without being amongst the crowds. The breakfast buffet had everything you could wish for and the food was fresh and delicious. Also, the staff was always so friendly and helpful - whether at the reception, the concierge, or the cleaning or breakfast staff. A special thank you to Fernando who took good care of us at breakfast and the lady cutting the fresh fruit who always greeted us when we stopped at her station. Finally, the beds and pillows were really comfortable, so we slept incredibly well.
DislikedIt would have been helpful to have a price list in the room for the items in the mini-bar.
“Thanks to staff in reception”
LikedSuper clean, nice rooms, amazing staff in the reception, I have never seen as polite and helpful as the staff of this hotel reception
DislikedThe breakfast could've been better, very limited choice. Staff in breakfast buffet not as hospital as the staff in the reception
“Wonderful experience… great hotel, staff, location, and city!”
LikedYou get pampered in every way possible and at all times. Wonderful experience and great stay overall!
“Excellent hotel with great services”
LikedWe had a wonderful stay at El Fuerte Marbella. Our junior suite faced the sea and the view was absolutely fantastic — waking up to the sound of the waves was unforgettable 🌊. The staff were friendly and kind, and a special thanks goes to Laura from the Guest Experience team for her excellent service and warm attitude. Overall, we were happy with everything, though prices are on the higher side. Service can be a bit slow at times — we waited around 15–20 minutes for coffees at breakfast and for the valet to bring our luggage. Still, a beautiful hotel in a perfect location — we’d love to come back!
