Marbella Playa

There wasnt wifi connection in the rooms, only in the public places. The breakfast was delicious, but the dinner was tragic. The chicken breast was totally raw and disgusting, and the selection wasnt too wide. The restaurant had nice view to the pool and the palm trees. The bach bar had excellent food, but the price was a little bit expensive. There was a lot of childrend, they were screaming all day in the pool, the restaurant and the beach too. The rooms were old fashioned, and not too clean. The beach view was nice, but the sea was really cold and wavy. The pool didnt smell good...

Myself and my husband just returned from a 4 night break, booked quite last minute with TUI. On arrival we were told the sea view room we had booked wasn’t available and offered one of the bungalow style rooms which I refused, we ended up in the main building room 819 which was lovely enough. the manager upgraded us to all inclusive to compensate for the room error which we were happy with (and made the most of!) The hotel and grounds are lovely, overlooking the sea, the pool area has plenty of sunbeds, everything is spotlessly clean and we found all of the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the food, plenty of choice, all freshly prepared- we had breakfast lunch and dinner. The location is as stated on previous reviews just off a dual carriageway, you wouldn’t know this when you are at the hotel though.. (it’s not like you can hear or see any cars) there are buses that run every half hour - we opted for a taxi into Marbella which is about 16 euro and 10 mins away. In our time there we only saw one English family, I think the bulk of the visitors are made up of french and Spanish so all of the entertainment is in these languages, this didn’t bother us atall but maybe would if we had our children with us. I feel it’s a real shame this hotel has had previous bad reviews because we had a really lovely stay here. It isn’t a 5 star hotel so don’t expect it but it’s certainly one of the better lower grade hotels I’ve stayed in and would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing break, we would definitely return!

First night I was served raw turkey took it back to the chef and he offered to cook it again !!!!! You never cooked it in the first place second night got a massive hair in what was labelled as paella more like bachelors golden rice, the food is cold not warm COLD when you tell the chefs they simply aren’t bothered. Very dated and dirty rooms, I only had 2 towels for 3 of us. Think we are the only English people hear and none of the entertainment is translated into English but it is to other languages. I have been to many hotels but this is by far the worst. To the manager please go and eat in your restaurant and tell me that it is acceptable. To holiday makers reading this please please do there are far better places cheaper try belkenez beach in turkey.
