ME by Meliá Marbella

We would just like to say what a lovely seven nights we had at Me Marbella. We were welcomed with the most gorgeous smell as we entered reception and a welcome glass of champagne. Having never been to Marbella before, I spent a lot of time on this app researching hotels that ticked our boxes. We wanted a hotel which was five-star, well-maintained to a high standard, offered a good breakfast to include à la carte, nice cushioned sun loungers with a walk-in pool preferably adult-only with waiter service.
We hate hotels where people are allowed to reserve sun loungers; it makes for a totally unrelaxed holiday. The more I read, the more hotels I crossed off the list!
We were relieved to say that the Me Hotel lived up to all our expectations and made for a lovely relaxing 😎 place to stay.
We would return even just for the fact that there was no reserving of sun loungers.
Breakfast being served until late added to the chilled vibe of the hotel. The hotel was super busy, but we never once had to wait for a table. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice à la carte and buffet selection. Gluten-free options were also available. Service was quick and efficient. Drinks were great.
The hotel lobby bar was great, where we had some good pre-dinner drinks; the team were so friendly and efficient.
Our rooms were cleaned to a high standard twice a day.
The hotel was really well located. Just a walk out of a security gate at the rear of the property, and there was the beach and promenade, with a short walk of 5/10 minutes down to the port with various restaurants/bars along the way.
We used the hotel’s airport transfer service; I messaged concierge before our holiday to arrange our transfers. The service was seamless; our driver was there waiting for us as soon as we came through, it couldn’t have gone any smoother.
Thank you, ME Marbella, for a great stay.

Sure I will come back even if it’s my third time staying here.

We’re currently staying at ME Marbella for three nights in an ME+ Junior Suite with Private Garden. This is an initial review after our first 24 hours and I’ll update it after checkout to reflect the complete stay.

Unfortunately, our experience so far has been disappointing.

We’re MeliáRewards Platinum members and have stayed at 13 different Meliá hotels over the last 18 months, completing more than 30 separate stays. One property alone we’ve visited six times. This gives us a fairly good benchmark against which to compare ME Marbella.

Our arrival was the poorest we’ve experienced at any of those hotels. No welcome drink, no water and no refreshing towel — small touches perhaps, but ones we’ve routinely received elsewhere, including at more basic Meliá city hotels.

More concerning was our Platinum upgrade.

We were told that the next room category — essentially our suite but with direct pool access — was fully booked and therefore unavailable as a complimentary upgrade.

However, during the following 24 hours, the seven rooms in question have appeared unoccupied whenever we’ve passed them.

More importantly, when I checked the Meliá app for our exact stay dates, that same room category was still available to book, allowing me to proceed all the way through to the payment stage.

Yet we were told it wasn’t available for our complimentary Platinum upgrade.

We were, however, offered an alternative upgrade if we paid extra.

That has left us feeling particularly disappointed. I’d genuinely like ME Marbella to explain how a room category can be unavailable for a Platinum upgrade while apparently remaining available for immediate paid booking.

Initial rating after 24 hours: 7/10.

Unfortunately, that’s currently the lowest rating we’ve given any Meliá hotel we’ve stayed at.

We still have another two days here and genuinely hope the experience improves.

I will update this review after checkout with our final assessment.

Two nights here in August, solo trip. Good location — close enough to Puerto Banús and the old town to drive anywhere in minutes, but quiet at night. Pool area was relaxed, music in the background rather than in your face. Clean room, helpful staff, solid breakfast. Used it as a base for getting around rather than staying put, and it worked perfectly for that. Recommended.

Loved it, from yhe seconds we arrived the team couldn't have been more engaged. Kudos to Emilio who is an incredible brand ambassador super chap! Roberto was also very friendly and helpful. Everton member of staff who passed out bed said hello, such an amazing culture. We will certainly come back, thank you Me Marbella ❤️

We stayed at the Me Marbella for 1 full week in August 2026. During our stay there we truly felt welcome and safe. The hotel is located in Puerto Banus just minutes of walk away from the iconic Puerto Banus marina. It’s also fairly close to Marbella old town and the famous La Cañada mall. You can easily get there with a taxi for approximately 10-12 €. The atmosphere in the hotel is fantastic! The whole staff truly made our experience even more special with their kindness and helpfulness! A huge thanks to all of them! The hotel opened its doors to the public in 2025. The whole complex is new and full of modern and high quality furniture . Also the food in the hotel is AMAZING! The breakfast buffet has everything you can think of! The rooms are spacious, clean and have a beautiful balcony with a breathtaking view! With all of the necessary amenities you truly experience full comfort. Despite the fact, that the hotel is fairly close to all of the clubs and parties in Puerto Banus, there was absolutely no noise during the night. We had our windows open the whole night and didn’t experience any difficulties sleeping. This hotel really stands up to the 5-star standard. You really get experience you are paying for. Overall we would rate the experience and stay at the Me Marbella an 11/10! We are surely coming back to the beautiful Costa del Sol to visit the hotel again!

Breakfast was excellent.
Service was attentive and fast.
Rooms are big and clean
Pool was nice.

Impressive hotel with amazing friendly personnel. In particular, John managed an incredible Cocktail Workshop. Very knowledge and kind. We learned a lot with him.

This was a mixed experience.
The positives -
Great central location in Puerto Banus, the port and centre is only a 10 minute walk away.
Hotel is clean, well maintained and the staff generally helpful.
The negatives -
Breakfast is very poor. The food is average probably below average to be honest, and the whole process is chaotic. We have had to wait 30 minutes for a table and another 30 for coffee to arrive. The staff seem overwhelmed and unable to deal with requests, often saying they need to get a college who never appears.

It was comfortable, enjoyed breakfast too. Had an issue but Alejandro and Ana were extremely helpful in assisting!
