Marbella Club Hotel

This resort offered a fantastic high quality stay in an amazing garden of Eden type setting. While the resort is quite spread out this is typical of resorts in this area. The buildings are set in a very peaceful and perfectly cared for garden type setting. While in the resort you quickly forget the busy road directly outside the gate and get transported into a whole different environment. This location offers easy access to other quality restaurants and shops outside the resort. The room was quite clean and modern and kept pristine by a great housekeeping team. Overall the staff was quite professional and friendly. Breakfast service had a good buffet selection and attentive service staff. The dinner service we had in their casual dining area was also quite good with quality food and service. The only thing to be aware of with dining is the restaurants were hard to locate the first time as the signs were not adquate in providing direction to them. With casual dining it was a bit odd that the seating host podium was in the middle of the restaurant... not the one at the entrance to the restaurant at the bottom of the stairs. At breakfast there was no podium you just go in and seat yourself. Signage on these things could have been clearer. The resort offers a great fitness facility, kids area and beach area. My only regret at this property was not having more free time at and around the resort to take advantage of some of the other elements they offer - hiking, personal training, etc. A fantastic beach option for those in the area.

The Marbella Club is a timeless gem on the Costa del Sol, offering exceptional service and luxurious accommodations. The staff’s warm hospitality ensures a memorable stay, while the beautifully appointed rooms provide comfort and elegance. With its mild climate, the resort is an ideal destination year-round, allowing guests to enjoy its stunning beachfront location and lush gardens in any season.

I have stayed at many hotels the world over, and have lived in the area for a very long time, staying and dining at this hotel whenever the occasion presents itself, and I can say comfortably that this is my favourite hotel. It doesn't boast fifty swimming pools or eighty Michelin star restaurants, it doesn't have golden night clubs or restaurants serving steaks with gold on top of them. To some, this may be a bad thing, to me it is heaven. If you are looking for a mass resort, look elsewhere (scoff), what the Marbella Club does well is continue on its legacy of being a supreme quality resort, doing everything you would want impeccably well and retaining the old sense of style that adorned the Costa del Sol. Intimate luxury is the lifestyle here, and they practically invented it. There simply is no topping the king.

I really wanted to love the Marbella club, but the service is just not up to par. I’ll start with the pros: Spa - Victoria the massuese is amazing Rooms - clean and updated. Beds are comfortable and housekeeping good. Pool - they are amazing at the pool, setting you up with towels, moving your umbrella when you need it. And have an amazing gelato stand. Live Music at pool on Sundays - really great and talented. Ok but not great Kids club - was not friendly to all ages, my 7 year old liked it but 9 year old felt it was too babyish. Also you cannot use the facilities of the kids club at all without paying for the full session. Even if the parents or caregivers are present. Beach sports - the people are super nice, but it seems inconsistent what they offer. My son wanted to take surfing lessons, as did another kid the day prior. But when we went they said it was not offered? Beach - water is a bit dirty with trash and seaweed and the beach rocky. But not terrible, just not great. Cons Service - at all the restaurants had bad service. One argued with us after not receiving a whole dish. The others completely forgot orders and we had to remind them. The food was subpar. Their main outdoor summer bar makes all men wear pants in August…and won’t let you sit even in nice linen shorts. 🤯 Are we not on vacation? Some of the staff serving food at the pool made you feel like a burden if you asked for anything after 4pm. Concierge - we really had to push them to make good recommendations. The first time dining off property we ended up with a tourist trap restaurant and food poisoning. After that we took dining into our own hands. I think they try, but it’s too many guests to really give the service they need to be giving. Specific needs and flexibility - requested an early checkin after an over night flight months in advance and followed up on this multiple times. Could not accommodate. There were other instances too of inflexibility with changes. For what the cost of the hotel rooms are (we booked a suite and a connecting room) these are all issues that should be ironed out. Really not acceptable.
