Amazing hotel, clean, remodeled, perfect location, nice staff. Perfect!

11.01.2026 Sunny

We had a wonderful stay at El Fuerte Marbella. Our junior suite faced the sea and the view was absolutely fantastic — waking up to the sound of the waves was unforgettable 🌊. The staff were friendly and kind, and a special thanks goes to Laura from the Guest Experience team for her excellent service and warm attitude. Overall, we were happy with everything, though prices are on the higher side. Service can be a bit slow at times — we waited around 15–20 minutes for coffees at breakfast and for the valet to bring our luggage. Still, a beautiful hotel in a perfect location — we’d love to come back!

Outstanding experience – truly unforgettable

This was our first trip to Marbella, and we stayed at El Fuerte Marbella with our two daughters. It turned out to be a fantastic choice and an excellent family-friendly hotel.

Everything about our stay was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the level of service, quality, and attention to detail stood out. The staff were always smiling, warm, and genuinely kind, which immediately made us feel welcome.

The hotel’s location is perfect — just a few minutes’ walk to the Old Town, yet peaceful and relaxing. The hotel terrace and the direct access down to the beach level were excellent and added a lot to the experience.

Breakfast was superb, with great variety and quality. The rooms, overall hotel cleanliness, and the views were outstanding ,truly nothing to criticize.
What really made the difference was the concierge team. They didn’t just assist us; they worked like a professional back office supporting our daily plans. As we were leaving the hotel every day for day trips, the concierge team stayed in direct contact with us via WhatsApp, followed up consistently, suggested the best spots to visit, and helped us with restaurant bookings. The level of care and follow-up was genuinely impressive.
The lounge, valet service, and overall quality throughout the hotel were flawless. Most importantly, it was truly great value for money.

A special thank you to the concierge team ,Victoria Sorokina, David, and Laura. You made our first family trip to Marbella truly memorable and created unforgettable memories for us.
Highly recommended. We will definitely return.

Fabulous hotel, perfectly placed right on the beach and a short walk into the old town. We had a great time, friendly staff, sea view room and didn't realise we had booked a 'selected' experience. This included extras like late check out, enhanced breakfast and best of all, a free business-type lounge with wines, beers, spirts, snacks, private sun lounge areas etc. Amazing and definitely coming back!

The BEST complimentary breakfast my husband and I have ever had in all our travels. The beach view room was beautiful. The bathrooms were so luxurious with heated toilet seats, bade, a tub and a shower. The staff was all so wonderful making our stay relaxing and feeling taken care of from the moment we drove in to leaving for our flight home. We would come back and recommend it!!

Stylish and well-equipped luxury hotel next to the beach and close to the beautiful old town.

Our room (junior suite sea view selected) was very comfortable with separate bath and shower, nice products and great views of the sea. There was a minor problem with the bathroom but we were quickly changed to a similar room type on the same floor.

The spa area was relaxing and well-kept, and the excellent selected lounge served drinks and snacks throughout the day. The breakfasts were delicious with a huge range of choice.

The restaurant staff, selected lounge staff and room attendants were very welcoming and efficient.

There were restaurants and pools as well as a gym, spa and even an art gallery area. Fantastic stay. Thank you very much.

Junior suite was tastefully decorated and well equipped (as should be for a 5 ***** ) with every single light or lamp that is dimmable ! Somebody has been thinking ! Too many hotels have bad lighting, no atmosphere or neon bulbs (really?). The balcony had amazing frontal sea view, a comfortable sofa set and a jacuzzi. The bathroom was also very enjoyable and had perfect lighting. The combination of use of space, furniture and lighting is actually just perfect. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Calling the reception was another thing: when dealing it, the phone would start to ring in the toilet lol :-))
That was a little issue they didn’t seem to be able to solve but didn’t bother us. If I had to say one thing: get some quality comfortable toilet paper. It’s way below par for a 5 star. The entire hotel has been beautifully renovated. There is nothing bad to mention really. The lounge area was excellent too. Food, drinks and staff were great. Some of the guests don’t belong there as they leave a total mess and there were even broken glasses on the floor once, totally disrespecting other guests and staff. Unfortunately wannabes and new money make out a part of nowadays Marbella. Money doesn’t buy class. We luckily also met some really nice people at the hotel though. Breakfast is great and the separate areas, inside or outside, make it feel even more enjoyable. Again, also here, all staff is amazing ! All in all, it’s a great hotel.

Beautiful hotel throughout, spacious room. Service at reception and concierge was fabulous.

However, waiting staff at the Levante needs better training. Tend to ignore people waiting for tables until they are spoken to. We booked a specific table for dinner, but when we came they had given it to someone else. The same waiter who booked it was there, not a word from him. They also delivered another table’s order to ours . almost blamed us for saying we didn’t order it . There doesn’t seem to be one head waiter, it looked quite chaotic.
At breakfast, a waiter showed us to our table and promptly left, without informing us what to do, ie, table service, buffet? No one took our beverage order until we had to catch a waiter’s eye. Breakfast however was very nice indeed with so much variety and very fresh.

Beautiful pools, plenty of sun beds, amazing view!

Taivaallinen paikka
Selected Junior sviitti oli aivan uskomattoman mieletön. Yksi parhaista ikinä ja minulla on kokemuksia takana. Tämä on ehdoton suosikkini

01.10.2025 Gina

Excellent Hotel with a fancy appearence. Even the entrance is gorgeous. What a nice welcome! They own an executive art gallary and several restaurants with great cuisine. The view from the rooftop is amazing by day and night. The hotel is very central and close to the beach. Their facilities offer a great time for all kind. The staff is very friendly and cooperate. I truly recommend a stay here.
