Marbella Club Hotel · Golf Resort & Spa

We have stayed here twice in the past 4 months (Oct 2024 and Jan 2025). The hotel itself, grounds, pool, and beach areas are stunning and just lovely places to be. There are so many sustainability initiatives around the hotel that I adore. The pizzas at el patio (especially) are great and most staff friendly and helpful. The pools are heated, but we found them still to be a little cold most the time, so we did't actually get to swim, but I do recognise that is our opinion and it would depend what climate you are coming from. One thing we would say is, we were there over Jan 6th, which we (now) understand is a important Three Kings celebration for Spain, however for those staying (apart from a Brunch), there was no way of really knowing what was going on if you were not familiar with Spanish culture. I note there was a email sent on Nov 18th, with a small part saying there would a lunch at the beach club for eur 80 pp, however absolutely no context as to why. The Three Kings holiday was not noted at check, nor that it would be a public holiday, and we neither asked if we would like to book the brunch. When I realized about the public holiday, I asked if there would be any special activities for the day for guests, I was told quite bluntly by a lady at the concierge desk there are "the wellness activities"... which were also there last time we stayed, and had happened for the day. With most things understandably closed, we ended up sitting in our room (which might had booked a villa had we known frankly, had we known we end up spending so much time in it) watching an TV program for the evening. Kindly, as someone having worked in the hotel industry.. a hotel (at this high level) could have thought about arranging something, or just a small way to include or introduce the in house guests to the Spanish tradition of the Three Kings celebrations, other than a paid for brunch. Frankly, we felt left and a bit unwelcome. Both times we stayed in junior suite categories and they were comfortable, with elegant furnishings, ideal for two people. During both stays we had a few other issues arise which is why the rating is a 4/5...although it should really be a 5 (and would have been if there were no issues). However, we would to say thank you to Antonio from concierge in particular, both for his help in arranging events etc, and sorting issues, and Valeria from guest experiences who went above and beyond in service recovery. We love Marbella and hope to come back to the Club.

This hotel is first class all the way! Outstanding service, the best kids club I have ever seen with so much to offer, beautiful views and amazing restaurants. Considering it was raining heavily during our stay, it was off season and the spa was being refurbished (which I would have loved to try!), I cannot fault this place in any way. Staff are professional, friendly, always smiling and helpful. Guest Relations, in particular, Mrs Martinez and Mr Guerrero, are outstanding and truly understand what customer experience and service is all about. Neveen from Kids’ Club has also been amazing. I wish I could have thanked them all again in person! There is thoughtfulness and pride in every detail, and it is also classy but not pretentious. This place feels like paradise, contemporary and not dated, and you’re transported into a glamorous world of sun, sophistication and relaxation. The teams will go out of their way to make your stay most comfortable. We were gifted a delicious complimentary birthday cake and truly enjoyed the stunning Imperial Suite with breathtaking views. Board walk was fun and the beach is pretty much at your doorstep. If you have kids, they will be well taken care of. It’s such a family friendly placed and our son loved it. We had a minor issue with our room and guest relations dealt with it professionally, quickly and satisfactory. As mentioned, they truly understand customer service! Kudos to all staff at MC and massive thank you to everyone for making our stay so memorable and my birthday so special.

we enjoyed the meals and the boutique atmosphere. the club has worked hard to provide beautiful ambience and quality service. the pool is great and the staff are friendly and helpful. I’d recommend - though of course it comes with a price tag. worth a splurge

Amazing hotel with delicious food and elegant grounds and interiors. Our first stay and we will be back! The pools are lovely and the breakfast is perfect. Sitting on the sun terrace with our cafe con leche was the best start to our Marbella club hotel days!

Absolutely beautiful place to be! The staff are extremely kind and friendly and welcoming and helpful. The property is beautiful. The beachfront is lovely with a boardwalk that is fabulous to walk or bike along. Very comfortable, luxurious room. Food was great too. Bars very fun.
