Pros:

Bel endroit. Les piscines sont superbes ainsi que les appartements très bien équipés

Cons:

Pas apprécié est un grand mot mais le resort est un peu excentré et il faut prendre la voiture même si l on veut faire quelques courses (le supermarché resort étant très cher et peu achalandé)

Good all-rounder but breakfast experience let’s it down.
Pros:

Location is great. Rooms are apartment style to huge by European standards. Pool facilities super and little beach at the front is sandy (albeit heavy machinery was levelling the beach when we were there)

Cons:

The breakfast area is not big enough and the facility simply cannot cope with the number of guests. We were lucky the morning we were there but when we left the queue stretched out by the pool. Staff looked exasperated so not sure what had gone on but something was clearly awry.

Good hotel, could be better.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Marriott’s Marbella Beach Resort. The customer service was outstanding, especially at the reception and concierge, where the staff was always friendly, welcoming, and eager to help.

The accommodations were excellent. The rooms are exceptionally spacious, beautifully decorated, spotless, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The beach is absolutely breathtaking, and the quality of the beach beds and umbrellas makes it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean.

There are, however, a few areas that could make this resort even better. Breakfast currently begins at 8:30 a.m., which is too late for guests leaving early for tours or day trips. A 7:00 or 7:30 a.m. start would be much more convenient. Additionally, the breakfast selection should showcase more authentic Spanish cuisine rather than focusing primarily on a standard continental breakfast. One of the greatest pleasures of vacationing in Spain is enjoying its incredible food.

The restaurant menu could also be improved by offering more traditional Spanish dishes instead of emphasizing pizza, hamburgers, and chicken wings. The limited menu often encourages guests to dine elsewhere in the evenings. Adding room service would also be a valuable enhancement.

Finally, the resort would benefit from beach bar service, more entertainment throughout the day and evening, and a livelier atmosphere with music and activities that appeal to younger guests. At times, the resort feels geared primarily toward older visitors.

Overall, despite these suggestions, we had an excellent stay. The outstanding service, beautiful accommodations, and spectacular beachfront location make this a resort we would gladly recommend and visit again.

Beautiful property grounds, Spacious Apartment, Plenty of Room for Improvement
Pros:

We rented a 3 bedroom apartment for a 4 night stay in June of 2026 at Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort. While we enjoyed our stay, I would not return to or recommend this property. Although this may be a higher quality resort in southern Spain, for the price it falls far short of expectations in so many little ways when compared again other beach destinations. If staying here, I would highly suggest renting/parking a car because your food options, while of good quality, are limited and quite overpriced.

The apartment was large with a very comfortable living space but is clearly showing its age and comes very poorly equipped. The beds are very firm and the pillows were quite uncomfortable, resulting in sub-par sleep. We were also disappointed with the in-room coffee which tasted terrible. We visiting the hotel market instead to only be able to get coffee or espresso from a machine. Beach towels must be brought down from the room and are not regularly cleaned/washed.

The property grounds include numerous activities and are very well maintained. In addition to the main pool, they have a football/basketball cage, ping-pong tables, indoor swimming, and other amenities which are very nice! Unfortunately, our family was place in a room overlooking the adults-only quiet pool on the far side of the property so it was a good walk to do anything. Access to the units comes via the exterior of the property along the road. Also, at night they close off half the property so you need to walk an extra 10 minutes just to access the beach (only one access point after-hours). While not a huge deal, I would much rather be spending the time ON the beach rather than navigating around the hotel's pool barriers.

The beach outside the property is nice but quite rocky once in the ocean. The waves are small and you must pay to rent beach chairs.

After traveling throughout Spain for 2 weeks prior we expected a lot more from these accommodations given the high cost.

Lovely property
Pros:

Beautiful

Cons:

Staff were a little disorganised at check-in and made what should’ve been a seamless process very complicated. I had 3 rooms booked (all under my name) and they made it extremely difficult to check-in.
