Myself, my wife and four month old baby stayed at El Fuerte Marbella for nine nights. We had a fantastic holiday. The hotel was spotless, the staff were very friendly, observant and could not have done more to help us. The food in the hotel was of a very high quality. The pool area was very well maintained and always... More

We have stayed three nights at la Fuerte in June. The hotel is built like a palace with more than one building and connecting fancy areas. The hotel seems to attract elderly people that want to relax. I stayed with my family in a Junior sweet. Room was spacious with no sea view. Cleaning service rush into the room after... More

Excellent hotel. Friendly very accommodating staff. Beautiful looking hotel. Very short walk from the old town and perfectly located on the golden mile. Very quiet at night, with a comfortable bed. Hotel fuerte marbella = Bliss! :)

We use the hotel as a base for our annual girls get together. The clientelle this time of year tend to be older than us, but that doesn't bother us as we dine out in Marbella because the hotel is ideally placed for beaches/shopping/eating and drinking. It adds to the charm of the hotel as it is more reserved and... More

Excellent location and good staff. Receptionist reasonable but not excellent. About 80% of residents were elderly people. Breakfast buffet excellent, dinner buffet reasonable. We had a sea view room (number 537) but the wall of the balcony was so high that I needed to stand up to see the sea. There was another building where the baloneys were better. We... More

Thanks for your stay and your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed our buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. Regarding the sea view rooms, as you mention, it is so that in the Poniente building the balconies have a concrete wall and in the upper floors you would not see the sea when sitting on the chair.

The hotel has an excellent location, on the beach, just over the street from the old town. The garden is beautiful, the food is good and the staff is - well most of them - very nice and service minded. One of the best thing about the hotel, was the people staying there. Midle aged or older, not many children,... More

Very good location for beach and city center. Walking distance to "Casco Viejo" where you find all restaurants and shops. They have service at the beach. Good service and great breakfast, it is worth to take it.
