El Fuerte Marbella

Are used to stay at this hotel before it got renovated it has been renovated into something spectacular with lovely Mediterranean views. For other people this would be pricey but since we make a fair amount it was not. The rooms were lovely but my child had to sleep on a sofa bed which I personally think was unacceptable for the prices we were paying. There are two pools and a hot tub which are delightful. You can see the beach from them. The beach is very close. It is not even a five minute walk this hotel even has an ice cream shop located underneath. The breakfast here is scrumptious. I always get the croissant all the stuff I lovely un speak very good English this hotel is located central of my Bay close to everything. I always stay here in October and Easter but I would like some action to be taken since there was only a queen bed and a sofa bed , I might add that they also had a heated toilet seat I would highly recommend this is very pricey for a normal people, but since I make a fair amount it was under budget Would highly recommend I am staying here in three weeks

We came as a family to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and we really liked the hotel the pool area furnishings food all fantastic. The roof bar is lovely for evening drinks and everything was almost perfect. Breakfast was excellent but the waiters providing orange juice and drinks just didn’t seen on it the service was slow to non existent it was easier to get it yourself. The bar service around the pool was as bad it took ages to get a drink. The rooms overall were really nice and the heat bidet toilets a novelty. The junior suite for our son and his family was a good size but felt a little less up to date with the rest of the rooms we had there was always room for us around the pool and considering there were 11 of us we thought that was good. The adult area pool also looks great and somewhere we would like if we come again on our own lunch near the pool was excellent and the staff there very good and friendly great family holiday just wish the drinks services would have been better as this hotel is lovely

We travel a lot and this was one of the best finds we have experienced in a long tim. The hotel has been refurbished recently and is an amazing 5 star hotel! Great staff. The breakfast was the best anywhere. Laura Asproiu from the concierge desk was amazing! She was one of the best concierges we have interacted with at any hotel. Great location! Choice of pools, great water views from rooms and the lounge amenities and the gym were also excellent.

Beautifully refurbished, calm hotel in the perfect position with beautiful pool and grounds and lovely staff! The spa wasn’t as good as we’d hoped as we booked the hotel especially for the spa but the pool was cold , sauna too hot and steam room was tepid. The rest of the experience was great just the sevuce by the pool was very slow and inefficient at times.

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!

The best thing about this hotel is the employees . From David at the pool, to Emmanuel for breakfast , the lady also at the bread station , the cleaning lady…. Everyone is so attentive and make your stay special . The decoration is sort of retro chic I loved it!!

Excellent all round hotel. So pleasantly surprised! We have stayed in the other 5 star hotels in Marbella which u would describe as tired compared to this newly refurbished hotel. The breakfast is outstanding, the bedrooms clean, central location and the staff friendly. Highly recommend and have no idea why this hotel is not talked about more! Definitely 5 *!

This is an outstanding hotel. I wouldn’t normally write a review mid stay but this place deserves it. Beautifully appointed tasteful rooms with glorious view of you are sea facing. Three pools including one rooftop one with a gastro restaurant . Staff all unbelievably welcoming. Have to also point out that it smells lovely everywhere. I think we forget how important that is!

One of the nicest hotels we've stayed in. The staff are wonderful. Our room was perfect, we upgraded to suite with jacuzzi on the balcony. It had huge comfy bed and housekeeping were great. We've stayed in many 5* hotels and this was one of the best. We will definitely be back.
