9.2(274)9/10 Very comfortable and nice hotel
Very nice new hotel in the center of Marbella, by the beach promenade. Rich, delicious and healthy breakfast. Large outdoor terrace with two pools and a bar, soft sun loungers.
The service was very good and exceeded expectations in the indoor bar adjacent to the terrace, where you could get very good coffee.

8/10 Friendly attentive staff, excellent breakfast, lovely place to relax and be taken care of.
Breakfast was really excellent however it was a little slow on the queue when ordering omelettes or crepes. It took a little bit of adjustment when we discovered that we entered the room through the bathroom but once the sliding door was closed the bathroom became separate from the bedroom. The room was very well appointed and the pillows were sooo comfy.

10/10 Beautiful hotel with stunning ocean views - would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful hotel! The online pictures do not do this hotel justice - it was stunning! Rooms were great, we upgraded to a partial ocean view - which was well worth it. Rooftop pool, restaurant and bar were gorgeous at sunset. Several pools to choose from and the breakfast buffet was massive.
StephanieOct 14, 2024
10/10 A bit more expensive that other hotels in the area but worth every penny.
Fantastic position on the beach and backing onto the old town. Very well looked after with manicured gardens. Room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was exceptionally good. We even had oysters and champagne at no extra charge. Will definitely return.
