My boyfriend and I along with two other friends just stayed here in January 2012. This was the first time to Manzanillo for my boyfriend and I, but our friends have been there before. Our friends have also stayed at the Marbella before as well. All I can say is ignore the posts of keep away! This place is great! It may not have been built in the last few years, but it is clean and well kept. The room was spotless, the balcony large, and the sunset view is fantastic. The pools were very clean, the restaurant was fantastic, and the employees were freindly and eager to help with anything you ask. It is easy to get here from the airport; the taxis will know the hotel. It is close to shopping, but you can travel anywhere on the bus for 6 pesos right out in front of the hotel. The beach is great for walking or sunning, but the waves are too harsh for swimming. For 6 pesos you can take the bus to Playa Del Oro, about 10 minutes away and a much calmer beach for swimming. This is a great choice for a great price. If you want 5 star luxury, go elsewhere, but if you are a normal needs person, this place is for you! Thanks for the great time!!
