10/10 Excellent

The upgraded interiors, the breakfast, the rooftop pool and bar, were all excellent. Highly recommend!
Tessa, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. The location absolutely cannot be beat. It is right next to the old town but on the promenade (the boardwalk) right on the beach with lovely restaurants. The breakfast was also the best out of any hotel I have stayed at anywhere. The breakfast buffet was absolutely amazing. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and would never stay anywhere else if I went back to Marbella.

MOHAMMED, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We really enjoyed our 9 night stay at the Fuerte, staff were very nice (a special thank you to Georges for being so kind and helpful to us), we were always made to feel welcome, from the restaurant staff to the attendants at the front door. Breakfast buffet was wonderful and the hotel is very conveniently located. The only let down was the beach in front of the hotel, once you are in the water, the ocean floor has large rocks that make it a real challenge. There was also a lot of seaweed the week we were there, I know it’s not something the hotel can control, but it was a damper on our otherwise great week.

Mike, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful hotel . We had a wonderful stay. Staff excellent and reception highly efficient . Great food available for lunch and the breakfast buffet is fabulous with everything you could possibly want .Need to be careful regarding room choice / allocation as some rooms look away from the property with a disappointing view of neighbouring apartments and waste area . Also some partial sea view room have a huge tree mostly blocking the wonderful view . My room was quickly swapped to a fantastic alternative with minimal inconvenience. I would highly recommend this hotel - also 5 minute walk to the Old Town which is very convenient .

Kevin, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A beautiful modern beachfront hotel just a 5 min stroll away from Marbella old town. Minor hiccups: at check in they said we’d have complimentary daily half liter water, the next day they said this was just a one off for the first day, then the day after they changed that again. The breakfast buffet is great, but the ham they call “iberico de bellota” is clearly “Serrano” (much cheaper) instead, based on color, texture, lack of marbling, flavor etc
