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.

Frommer's "Until a few equally chic hotels were built along the Costa del Sol, the snobbish Marbella Club reigned almost without equal as the exclusive hangout of aristocrats and tycoons." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Intimate beachfront villas—once the residence of Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe—on a lush stretch of the Golden Mile." Full review
Michelin Guide "One of the best hotels along the coast, built in the middle of a superb garden planted with palm trees. The bungalow accommodation here frequently hosts the rich and famous."
DK Eyewitness "Built for a prince in the 1950s, this is now an ultra-luxurious beachside complex with two pools (one indoors) and extensive subtropical gardens."
Star Service "Commanding a prime waterfront location, 3 kilometers west of town, this elegant retreat is Marbella's—and the Costa del Sol's—most famous and select resort." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"This former aristocratic family residence, celebrated for its sleek interiors and verdant grounds, has been re-conceptualised into an ultra-luxe resort hotel." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Offers not one but two sailing yachts for guests to charter. Lacruz and Revolution are a hybrid of luxury and sport, featuring contemporary amenities like a spacious outdoor shower, guest cabins"
