I stayed here on business, and found it a pleasant place to stay. It is only about 45minutes from Malaga Airport, and about 10minutes from Marbella. The location is on Nikki Beach. There are excellent facilities at the hotel, but it is kept in good order despite looking a little tired in places. There are tennis courts on the way... More

Very disappointed with a few aspects of this hotel. Firstly, luckily we were only there for 3 nights as we had a room in the high rise block which is terrible. The rooms are average and all look over a building site. Every morning at 8am the builders start work. Definately not what you would expect of a five star... More

We had a five night stay at the Don Carlos and found the staff (particularly Esther Lopez) very attentive, helpful and courtieous. Facilities were excellent and the restaurant good - it was nice to have the use of a good pool and a private beach. I would highly recommend this to both families and couples of all ages.

Very helpful staff especially on front desk. Very clean, nice rooms with sea views etc grounds are gorgeous, along with the pool and beach, absolutely stunning. Only criticism is the bar staff was very lacking, there was 1 guy serving around 26 people, but that's just picking, it was amazing and ill return soon :)
