I stayed at the Barcelo Marbella Golf with a group of six friends. Having read glowing reviews of this hotel we were badly disappointed. It's fine if you are a golfer, ie out first thing in the morning and not having to use any of the hotel facilities, including the evening dinner which was a very reptitious buffet and staff... more

You do need a car when staying at this hotel as it isnt near any local amenitites. 10 minute car ride to Puerto Banus. Excellent breakfast buffet. All staff were efficient and friendly. Pretty pool area. Could do with a few more somebeds out though as there is a lot of space for them to fit more in. Would go... more

I stayed here for a week at the end of Sept, with my wife & 6 year old daughter. We booked a junior suite, which was located on the "road " (not busy or noisey) side of the hotel on the 3rd floor. The room was spacious, with a seperate living area, 2 TVs, Dvd player, Hifi system. Only option... more

Wouldn't go back again, not because we didn't enjoy the hotel, its just because there nothing there to pull us back. Overall, its a nice... more

Clean hotel with helpful staff and great food. The pool area was quiet and had plenty of sunbeds when we stayed, no need to make a run for them early in the morning (we did take our own beach towels though). The drinks in the hotel were expensive but we expected that. You do need to hire a car though,... more

After reading the reviews we decided to book this hotel but there were a few things that we would dispute from some of the previous reviews and some others that also need to be raised. Overall the hotel was clean, and very well presented. The staff were helpful and friendly (on the whole!). However, altho' we had a very nice... more
