Expert reviews:

Frommer's

"We'd give the edge to Gran Meliá Don Pepe, but of the hotels in Marbella proper, this resort is in a neck-to-neck race with the Fuerte Miramar." Full review

Lonely Planet

"A huge 263-room complex right on the Paseo Marítimo with a host of facilities including gym, heated pool, gardens and spa." Full review

DK Eyewitness

"El Fuerte was the first purpose-built hotel in Marbella and is still one of the best. It is unmissable – a big pink building surrounded by tropical gardens."

Star Service

"This beachfront resort boasts a superb position along the water, with sea view rooms a highlight at this price." Full review

Request a room with a balcony and a front sea view; the single and Classic room categories do not have them.

Oyster

Upscale

"The upscale Hotel Fuerte Marbella is a stately beachfront resort that’s surrounded by shops and restaurants along the Marbella Promenade and only a five-minute walk from the Old Town." Full review
