I stayed at the Don Carlos last summer after a terrible experience at a hotel a short distance away. I know the hotel fairly well as this was my third visit. All I can say is thank goodness for hotels like this one where the high standards of service, quality of the food, friendliness of the staff and fabulous facilities... More

We stayed here for a last minute long weekend in early May but have vowed to return. The outside of the Don Carlos is a horrible concrete tower which looks as if it would be more at home in downtown Benidorm and as we drove up our hearts sank. We shouldn't have worried. Inside is cool Espana at its best.... More

We booked a romantic break for 5 days - On arrival we were informed that many of the hotel facilities would be closed to us (including pool and poolside restuarant) as they were hosting a conference for 800 people over 4 days of out stay. Hotel was overrun and service was poor at restaurants and terrace bar as a result.... More

A hotel that has stood the test of time we enjoyed our stay and would surely use it again if we go to Marbella area in the future.

The building looks like from the 80ies with a construction works on the site. No one is welcoming you when you pull over with the car. Spa: not really...they only have some massages but nothing else (no jacuzzi, no indoor pool, hammam etc. Breakfast: 5 star, not really. very poor choice, lack of effort and presentation We booked the Superior...

I wasn't expecting great things from the Don Carlos, but it surprised me quite a bit. Although it doesn't have much character it was efficientble and comfortable. The rooms were a good size, but being a high-rise not many have balconies - disappointing when you have a sea-view. The wi-fi was very good though. The hotel has obviously benefitted from... More

Pool restaurant is excellent for lunch. Bar has fab view, next to Marriot resort. Great grounds and pol. Friends have apartment there which is among several let... More
