We loved this hotel. The staff work hard to ensure your stay is perfect. The rooms are so comfortable too. The breakfast and cocktails were fantastic and for us this hotel is in a great location right near the old town. Will defo be going back!
A fabulous hotel. Great location overlooking the beach & only a 5 minute walk into Marbella Old Town. Breakfasts were excellent with a wide variety of options. All the staff we encountered were helpful, friendly & professional.
The property was beautiful, the pool and beach side were amazing. Staff was excellent and the room was very nice. The breakfast every morning was incredible. Family friendly but also perfect for adults looking to relax. Overall would recommend.
Beautiful hotel, wonderfully maintained facilities. Friendly staff. We had a great stay and will choose el fuerte again on our next trip to Marbella

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.
Top class hotel with very friendly staff. Check-in team were excellent and helped us with a courier issue. Breakfast choice excellent. Waiters could be more friendly and less abrupt, but otherwise wonderful stay and great central location.
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.
Perfect from the moment we arrived until the moment we left! Great friendly staff, a beautiful hotel with attention to detail—truly the benchmark for how a hotel should be run!
