Staying at El Fuerte Marbella was an amazing experience! The hotel is right by the sea, so we enjoyed refreshing swims in the ocean as well as relaxing moments in the rooftop pool.Our room was comfortable and had a lovely view of the sea. There are plenty of dining options, but the rooftop restaurant, Edge, was absolutely stunning—perfect for a special dinner with breathtaking views. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to help and make our stay even more enjoyable.

Stylish and well-equipped luxury hotel next to the beach and close to the beautiful old town. Our room (junior suite sea view selected) was very comfortable with separate bath and shower, nice products and great views of the sea. There was a minor problem with the bathroom but we were quickly changed to a similar room type on the same floor. The spa area was relaxing and well-kept, and the excellent selected lounge served drinks and snacks throughout the day. The breakfasts were delicious with a huge range of choice. The restaurant staff, selected lounge staff and room attendants were very welcoming and efficient. There were restaurants and pools as well as a gym, spa and even an art gallery area. Fantastic stay. Thank you very much.
