We stayed here in connecting suites for three nights. The property is gorgeous and we enjoyed exploring the historical grounds and the colorful botanical gardens. The rooms we stayed in were very comfortable. There are USB sockets right next to each bed, so you don’t even need a converter is you are coming from outside Europe. There was loud, lively music coming from the main restaurant on the night we checked in and we couldn’t hear it inside our rooms at all. The rooms are well stocked with toiletries, towels, and even an ironing board, umbrellas and a yoga mat. We appreciated the fruit bowls full of apples, pears kiwi, and peaches. We also appreciate the complimentary snacks. Our only issue was the water in the shower tends to jump from cold to scalding and back again quite frequently, but I guess this can be expected with old infrastructure. The food throughout the resort is high quality, locally obtained and delicious. There was a buffet breakfast offered every morning with our stay, and we enjoyed a selection of fruits, pastries, charcuterie, eggs and more. Lunch by the pool was very satisfying. We especially enjoyed the anchovy, olive and caper pizza and the chocolate mousse dessert. We noted that the staff was attentive to our needs, but not overbearing. The food and drinks at the beach were top notch as well. The stretch of beach surrounding Marbella Club was very pretty. The wooden Marbella Club pier sits iconic against a picturesque shoreline and we watched many people come to take selfies and sightseeing pictures along its dock. We throughly enjoyed sitting in the beach chairs and also walking along the Golden Mile boardwalk. The only issue we had was the amount of African men that approached us trying to sell knock-off designer watches/ hats/ bags while we were seated at the beach. All 5 of us enjoyed a massage session at the spa as well. I would highly recommend this resort to couples and families. It is pricier than other resorts in the area, but I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Marbella Club's hospitality is right at the top.
