affordable luxury

We know Marbella well and have usually stayed in apartments but this year decided to give ourselves a treat by staying in a good hotel. We took the bed and breakfast option in the basic mountain view room. Absolutely fantastic hotel - very luxurious but not at all stuffy. The staff were courteous and extremely helpful. The pool and gardens were fantastic. It's this hotel every year for us now.

Schönes Hotel an ausgezeichneter Lage, etwas in die Jahre gekommen, Badezimmer zu klein, passt nicht zum hohen Preis. Frühstück gut aber immer das gleiche.

Wunderschönes und exklusives Hotel an Strand-Nähe und Nähe Marbella Altstadt. Sehr guter Service und feines Essen. Leider konnte man im Meer nicht schwimmen gehen, wegen der Quallen. Aber der Pool im Hotel war auch wunderschön zum Relaxen und Erholen.
