Nice hotel on a very good location, the Old Town is across the street and in front is the beach separated only by promenade. We had a room with a side sea view, which was fine. Breakfast was very good with a large variety of different kind of food. Parking is full during the day, but you can always find... More

The location is good right next to the old town and right on the beach front, the staff were very attentive and helpful. It is a little tired but nothing to put you off going back. We paid extra for a room with a full sea view and it was well worth it, the view was beautiful.

This not a boutique hotel but a 4 Star Spanish Hotel, a little dated but spotlessly clean and great staff. After booking directly we had not got a double bed on a high floor.

Myself and my wife decided to celebrate our anniversary by spending a week in Marbella. My sister said that the location of the El Fuerte hotel was close to perfect. There are daily filghts from my local airport, Cork to Malaga (2 hours twenty). Marbella is only about 40-50 minutes drive from Malaga's Pablo Picasso airport. The hotel is rated... More

I have read that there is another hotel in Marbella claiming the title of "Best Hotel in Marbella" but for me El Fuerte will always be best. There is always a warm welcome for guests, the service is warm and friendly, the rooms are kept very clean. I know that the hotel is aging well and the sun will shine... More

We are unfortunately staying at this hotel in Marbella, Spain. This supposedly four star hotel does not have air conditioning or heating at the same time and our room was uncomfortably hot last night. The whole AC is off and the explanation was that they only have heating during this time of the year. Moreover, the hotel has a cavalier... More

This hotel is ideally situated, on one side you have the beach and the sea and on the other you are in town. In addition, it is opposite an entrance to the old town and its pretty narrow streets and lots of restaurants. We had a very nice room (and bathroom) with a full sea view and the balcony was... More
