Available there was a rich breakfast, as well as in the evening a generous food variety, what each separately and fresh for the particular guest were prepared; a special experience. The location is very good, the beautiful city center from Marbella is within walking distance reachable in a few minutes. We are golfers and the surrounding many places (partly expensive) are reached in a short time. A disadvantage i do not … read more

The hotel lies excellent to the beach and to the center with very good traffic connection (public. Transport). The hotel is very well maintained and some rooms in the main building are supposedly now in November also renovated. The hotel has altogether a really good standard, but for the rooms also partly in need of renovation. We should initially on the main entrance - meerabgewandt - a room received.
