Marbella Corfu Hotel

We returned to Marbella for the third time in 3 years in October 2019. We were greeted well, and one of the senior staff Lucia recognised us and welcomed us back, lovely touch. First the good: this is a lovely large hotel, with kind and helpful staff, and we enjoyed food in all the restaurants. Service on the beach was good and the main bartender remembered our favourite drinks. The wine selection on all inclusive is limited. The cocktails and sparkling wine were good. Our main disappointment was as follows: On the first two occasions we were delighted with our room allocations. This time we were disappointed with the first two rooms due to noise issues: the first had a poor view but was directly beneath the bar area and foot and chair scraping noises were awful: room 303. We were moved that evening to a floor down and one across, What we didn't realise is that we would get all the noise from people trip trapping up and down the adjacent marble stairwell that ricoched into our bathroom and bedroom particularly form 7am very unwelcome. We endured it for 2 days and then moved again to a smaller garden view room with a poor view at the back of the hotel looking onto a scrubby bank with electricity pylons. It was quiet however, thankfully. We enjoyed our stay however. The room issues are making me think twice about returning, however, I am undecided. We had hoped a superior garden view would be good. It may be worth upgrading?

We were fortunate to have booked this little haven of luxury. What we wanted was a totally relaxing and stress-free week of soaking-up the sun and in a good quality hotel, and that's exactly what we got. The friendly,helpful staff were on hand from the moment we arrived and told us, basically that whatever we wanted they would endeavour to provide for us. The rooms were clean,spacious and well equipped. The main restaurant was staffed with a smiling courteous who were constant in their attention to detail. They genuinely seemed happy to be working there. The Italian restaurant was as good as any I've eaten in and the bar and outside seating was quite luxurious. The pool and beach offered a good standard of al-fresco dining and the pool itself was spotless as was the beach area. All in all the holiday was pretty close to perfect.

We returned in October as part of our anniversary, our second visit to the Marbella, and it was even better than the first time! The staff, the bars, the room, the food, what more can I say, but outstanding, even the weather smiled on us! If you want a peaceful, relaxing holiday, then the Marbella is the place for you. Just go!
