Beautiful hotel with excellent staff perfectly located for Marbella old town
Pros:

Excellent staff and service - beautiful hotel - fantastic breakfast! Location perfect for beach and Marbella old town. Wonderful sun beds
Incredibly clean

Cons:

Nothing really albeit I’d prefer shower cubicle rather than a shower in a bath which was the only thing that let the hotel down and didn’t feel right for a 5*

Felt welcome, special and taken care of… cannot wait to come back!!
Pros:

It was clean, newly renovated, felt posh and cozy at the same time! The gym is beyond amazing- phenomenal view from up there! There are pools, a nice terrace - it is very close to but separated from the beach. The beds are very comfy and the staff was helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and absolutely everywhere! They think about “how is the guest feeling and how can I help, how can I make them feel welcome” - truly amazing staff from reception, to the cleaners to the waiters and even the hotel manager stopped to asked me how my training was - instead of complaining about me walking through her hotel in a wetsuit… then went on to suggest I try the spa to warm up… oh and the breakfast buffet was amazing! I arrived at 2:30 in the morning and instead of being annoyed that he had to check me in, the person at reception apologized that he could only offer a water a some apples at this hour (not that I wanted anything)…

Cons:

Nothing really- my husband thought the shower was a bit tight … but he is a big man 😉

it was a beautiful and relaxing hotel and we loved staying here, we would book again.
Pros:

Location, turn down service, room and pool service, decor and history of the building which was imbedded into their branding

Cons:

Not much space around the pool
