Fabulous
Pros:

Location ideal for the Old Town, distance to beach, restaurants etc. Lovely clean hotel, really super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room and could not fault choice at breakfast. Clean towels daily, including for the pool and beach. Good availability of sun beds, with staff not holding them for people who had left. All perfect.

Cons:

In the on line photographs we were expecting a larger pool where we could have a swim and cool down.

Expensive but essentially paying for the location.
Pros:

Very nice hotel, great location. Room was small but OK although the price was high but its summer in Marbella so to be expected. Breakfast was OK, nothing special like the breakfast at The Amare just down the road. I prefer a chef to make fresh eggs to order in the morning not ones that have been sat there for a while. Nice roof top pool with limited loungers, annoying that it didn't open until 11.00am each day and if you weren't there by 11.05am you didn't get a sunlounger but they are limited for space. I would stay again but not at summer prices.

Really enjoyed our stay , comfortable , classy and chilled
Pros:

Staff we dealt with for check in/ check out and around the hotel were all lovely. The decor is beautiful, the fragrant scents around the hotel is really nice. The place feels classy and luxurious but not pretentious, comfortable chilled vibes. The rooftop pool was fabulous and staff so nice. Marcus and the female manager were both lovely. Also liked the gym, small but perfect for my use , equipment seemed new and well maintained

Cons:

Very small thing to pick on but the shower trays I found incredibly slippy so from a safety perspective might be worth looking at. It would be nice if toiletries included some hair conditioner.
