The hotel has undergone an extensive renovation and now is absolutely first class. Having stayed many times previously we noted that some of the charm and character of the hotel has been lost but compensated by the new modern styling. The hotel is excellently placed for the beach and the old town. Previously the hotel had sun loungers on the beach but they weren’t there this visit. We stayed in a jacaranda selected room which was extremely stylish and comfortable with front sea views. The selected option allows access between 11-9 to an area where complimentary snacks and drinks are available. There is inside and outside seating and provides a pleasant area to enjoy the sun and relax. Breakfast in the selected area was relaxed and buffet was substantial. Bar food was excellent too. The staff were in the main very helpful, knowledgeable and polite with unfortunately a few who were less helpful. Overall very impressed and hope to return soon.

My mother, daughter and I had a wonderful time in the El Fuerte Marbella. The decor is amazing down to the smallest detail. When you walk in the door of the hotel there is an air of calmness around you. The staff could not be better, nothing was too much trouble, and the room and food were excellent too. We were given a very spacious side sea view room with a balcony which was nicely shaded. We look forward to returning to this beautiful hotel!

My husband is visually impaired so this review is of the accessibility of this beautiful hotel. The hotel could not have been easier to navigate. From the main road to the entrance of the hotel it is entirely flat - the pavement is signposted by different colours rather than being raised, so also great for people with mobility issues. There are no stairs from the entrance to reception or from there to the terrace and lifts to the bedrooms. There is a ramp to the pools and a lift down to the promenade. The staff are also first class. They would touch my husband’s arm before addressing him and thankfully spoke to him normally - so many people just speak to me. If you have any mobility issues you do not need to have any concerns about this hotel and the expert care of the staff.

The hotel is gorgeous. Our room...we upgraded to a side sea view. The cost, an extra €60 per night. It didn't feel like it was a side view. We could see the pool and the sea. Worth it for us. There is a good hairdryer which I didn't like using as you have to squeeze the handle continuously, I realise this doesn't sound like a problem, but it was just nicer using my own. We decided on bed and breakfast. The breakfast was great. Lots of options for a three course breakfast, if that's what you like on holiday. Sun loungers, comfy and pool service great. Main pool freezing, but fine once you're in! If I had to have a moan...we had a lovely mini bar, which wasn't crazily priced and there was a coffee machine. It would have been a nice touch to have had free coffee or tea but the wee coffee pods were €4 each. They did however give you a free carton of water every day. We ate lunch every day at the sister hotel Amaré because we love it there...it's only a five minute walk away. And we ate out every night. Favourite place we ate, The orange tree in orange square, everything was delicious. La Paloma, my husband loved it. I chose the wrong thing, so can't say there was anything wrong with it, just wast my favourite and very warm sitting inside. We also ate in La Sala in Puerto Banús. Food was nice and it had a great fun atmosphere and entertainment. The top deck looked the nicest place to eat. We were on the front terrace it was lovely too. And lastly the sky bar...breathtaking...a must see. In summary, we will definitely be back.

We watched with great interest as this hotel was being renovated, having stayed a few times previously, so we were very excited to come back. They’ve done a great job - it looks really modern and fresh and I loved the decor. However, we upgraded to a side sea view double and were astonished to find the original brown marble bathroom, untouched from our last stay, with an awkward shower over a tiny, narrow bath. Really? In 2024? This is why we decamped to the Amare hotel down the road 12 years ago. Unless I’m mistaken, I couldn’t see anything on website room categories about rooms with bathtub only as I would have totally avoided. The wing we were allocated to has changed little, apart from a lick of paint and new furniture/flooring so roomwise, we were disappointed. Having said that, lots of things were amazing: the bed, toiletries, breakfast, and all staff super friendly and helpful. Pool area, sunbeds and parasols definitely 5 star. Went to Soleo beach restaurant twice with 2 very different experiences service wise, but the food is lovely.

The refurbished EL Fuerte Hotel has lost its charm and style. It looks cold and uninteresting from the outside. In side very modern and clean.We hade asked for a room with full seaview on the 2nd or 3rd floor in the building above reception some 3 months ago but were given a room on the 5th floor in the building above the dining area. In this part you do not get any sun on your balcony all day. Rooms with side seaview get the sun on their balcony. Food in Marche Restaurant very poor. We stayed half board. I cannot believe that in a 5 star hotel food can be that bad. Soleo restaurant was also very poor. Cheap quality food. Only potatoes on offer were badly cooked chips, no vegetables. I suggest Maria Antunez Corrales orders the "Lobster" and see for herself what is being offered. She is no longer in charge it seems. A great shame. The hotel has of course a splendid position with good sun loungers etc. And the sun shines!

Came back to El Fuerte again having been for first time in October last year... was just as good and just as welcoming.... Hotel was not quite fully open (Soleo beach restaurant not open in evening) but everything else was just as it was.. Fantastic breakfast buffet and the "Selected Club" option is well worth the extra for access to the club lounge at any time from 11am-9pm... This hotel is so well run and they staff are so professional... You can see it making a difference... For sure will be back again at the end of this season...

This is the best hotel that I’ve ever stayed at in Europe! It’s a top top 5* hotel! Everything’s was close to perfect! The place was so clean at all times, staff were fantastic, and breakfast was great. The pool areas are amazing! Huge comfy loungers, and waiter service around the pool. We paid £2200 for 4 nights so it wasn’t cheap, and even a Diet Coke is £4, but it’s worth it for the setting and service. The guy at the pool bar with the lint tail was brilliant, and Juan Manuel was great at check in and check out with our luggage. We can’t wait to return
