Brilliant hotel, excellent location, fantastic breakfast and lovely pool area.

Mr N Duncan, Whitstable

Stayed at Fuerte Marbella for a week in March. We booked a standard double room but changed to a side sea view as I did not like the idea of sitting on a balcony facing a wall of concrete. Of course, the more of a view of the sea the more you pay. We were happy with our second choice but had to pay €15 a night extra. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if not on the small side as was the balcony, enough room for two chairs and a table. Bathrooms were very well appointed with bathrobes and good quality towels. Our cleaner was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for her. In fact the staff were great, polite, professional and helpful.

We chose bed and breakfast and the quality of food at breakfast was outstanding, everything was fresh and replenished on a regular basis. We particularly liked the room which was fresh, peaceful with plenty of space between tables. We never had to wait to be seated but that may just be because it was early season. I don't know if things would be the same in high season.

Pool area very clean, large comfy sunbeds, did not swim in outside pool, freezing, but they do have an undercover pool also which is very warm. Service around pool, slow to non existent, had to go to bar to order two coffees which were awful, cup of froth, much better to buy along the prom, accessible from a gate by pool.

Overall we chose this hotel for its location in central Marbella and we were happy with our stay. One final point, if you have a car like we did, parking is almost non existent on the street, but the hotel does have its own car park for €13 euros a night. Nothing's for free I guess!

Mr D Hopkins, Pontyclun

The hotel was excellent, rooms were excellent along with the staff, food and location. I would definitely recommend it.

Mrs B Cheadle, Doncaster

The hotel reception was warm and welcoming, one of our rooms was not ready so were offered complimentary drinks in the bar. The rooms were exceptionally clean and smelt lovely and fresh. The food was cooked to perfection loads of choice. The pool area was fabulous, loads of beds, comfy cushions and towels available. A truly wonderful 5* accommodation.

Mr J Elliot, Cramlington

Fantastic hotel, pool area and staff brilliant, could not find one fault.

Mr D Brocklesby, Spalding

An excellent hotel kept spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were great. Location couldn't be better.

Mr B Osborne, Derby

Fab location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, lovely sea view. Plenty of comfortable sun beds and extra large towels.

Mrs C Grainger, Upminster

Amazing hotel, staff friendly and extremely helpful, all speak various languages and have little pin badges to show which language. The hotel is immaculate, food amazing, especially the fish chef who was awesome it's quiet and views are amazing. Perfect location.

Mrs J Matthewson, Nottingham

The room we had was lovely and very clean. The pools were inviting and the pool towels are huge. The loungers by the smaller pool were the most comfortable I have ever lay on. The safe in the bedroom was very easy to use and free! The mini bar was well stocked. We only stayed bed and breakfast and the food was fab. The staff were all very pleasant. We were there for a wedding so there were quite a few of us, I didn't really notice the other guests. The location could not be better, right on the beach. I did not have children with me, but those that did seemed happy.

Mr J Haynes, Bournemouth

Excellent service, position and breakfast.

Mrs S O'hagan, Gloucester

Loved the hotel, only thing that lets them down is a shortage of staff in the evenings. Apart from that the holiday, hotel, position, food and staff were first class. Also perfect weather. Will def go there to same hotel next year.

Mrs H Hughes, Guildford

Nothing negative to say, food good, staff good, rooms clean and spacious, towels and sheets changed at your request, towels provided for the pool/beach and changed every day. In particular the barman at the poolside bar was very pleasant and helpful. Location great as quieter at this end of the promenade, easy access to old town and plenty of bars and restaurants.

Miss N Harrison, Sunderland

Clean, excellent location, breakfast lovely. Definitely recommend.

Mrs V Stead, Sevenoaks

A fabulous traditionally Spanish hotel, staff are very friendly, grounds are wonderful, food very good for a buffet, all in all a lovely place to stay.

Mr M Wills, Crewkerne

Only drawback was the very high prices in the bar.

Mr G Douglas, Morpeth

Very good hotel.
