El Fuerte Marbella - www.fuertehoteles.com/en/hotels/fuerte-marbella

We have stayed here 5 times. It is a fabulous hotels and never fails to impress. Can't wait until our next visit.

This time we spent 11 days at El Fuerte Marbella and it was a perfect stay from day one. We had warm and sunny days. The hotel was perfect, with a beautiful garden with sunbeds looking at the sea. Food was excellent in the restaurant, the bar and the beach restaurant. We were also as usual very impressed by all staff working at the hotel. They are always helpful, kind and very competent. We will come back again soon.

Sehr nettes Hotel, mit herrlichem Meerblick in unmittelbarer Nähe zu Restaurants und Geschäften. Gut ausgestattete Zimmer, sehr umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet. Es gibt viele schöne Golfplätze in der Nähe!

Sehr empfehlenswert!

El Fuerte Marbella

We have just returned from another most enjoyable week in Hotel El Fuerte Marbella. We have stayed in many hotels both at home and abroad but this is the one we book every year for the past 15 years. The hotel location is wonderful with the sea on one side and the shops, restaurants and narrow streets of the old town on the other side. There is a beautifully kept garden with outdoor and covered swimming pools and huge spaces for sunbathing. The staff are helpful, friendly and efficient and the hotel manager is a visible presence to help and chat to guests. The standard of the buffet breakfast and buffet dinner is excellent; cleanliness is 5-star.

We look forward to returning in 2014.

We live in Malaga and have come three or four times each year for the last few years, to relax, eat and have a change of view and eating!

Always happy with the friendly service, and it is nice to be remembered.

Next time we have booked an electric scooter for my wife - what a good service - and we can now visit the old town.

We have been going to this hotel for the last 10 years and we are never disappointed. Staff extremely helpful throughout. It's a hotel where you relax as soon as you arrive and also there is so much variation with Marbella old town and the beach very accessible. Can't wait to go back. No negatives!

From the moment we arrived at theEl Fuerte Hotel, Marbella, we felt at home - only with better weather! The hotel is comfortable and staff are welcoming and friendly. The town centre is an easy 3 minute walk with all the shops and restaurants you could wish for. A meal from the hotel's evening buffet followed by flamenco dancers or a lively band made for an enjoyable night in. We have holidayed there before and we certainly intend to do so again.

We stayed at the El Fuerte in Marbella in June. Once again we had a wonderful stay. The hotel is immaculate and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Many of them are like old friends now as they have been there for many years.

We spoiled ourselves by having a sea view room in the Exclusive section of the hotel which is on the 6th floor. The room was spacious with a very large bathroom. All of it was wonderfully clean. Our balcony had sun beds and table and chairs. Bottled water, fruit juices, tea, coffee, cakes and fruit were all included in the Executive price. Breakfasts were superb as always.

The position of the hotel cannot be bettered as it overlooks the sea. Between the hotel and the sandy beach there is only the pool and sitting out area and the promenade. There is always plenty going on along the sea front and you are only a 5 minute walk into the old town with its alleyways, shops and restaurants.

The hotel restaurant is very good and there is always some pleasant entertainment on in the evenings, so if you wish to stay in the hotel in the evenings it is very enjoyable.

We have visited this hotel on numerous occasions and hopefully will be back there next year.

general stay at ElFuerte

this trip and location is always a interlude from the madness and chaos of the daily world. The perfect choices and wide range of choice of food and personal attention at breakfast makes you feel so special and sets you up for the day.

the setting is relaxing, peaceful and convenient, feel safe secure and relaxed... in general nothing is too much trouble or too far away to enjoy. front house and housekeeping staff all courteous and friendly and respectful that you are on holiday.

Love the choice of pools ie family and proper swimming pool. even just for pootling up lanes at own pace, the roll back conservatory is a fabulous feature. the towel service is a good service... fresh towels exchanged whenever you need for sun lounger use.

the only irritation I have is that when we request late checkout well in advance and make its importance known when we arrive, it becomes a lottery and left to chance on check out day, this does add a needless stress to the trip. however the pool facilities do allow you to have a shower once checked out, so we were able to enjoy time properly in sun and shower before plane... just a little annoying that late check out when timely requested cannot be more securely guaranteed without a fee, when it is provided as a 'loyalty' benefit in the 'special offers' sent.

that aside we love the location, it accommodates our needs and retains a good flavour of the old town.

we will be back

Mi familia y yo llevamos 3 años pasando las vacaciones en este hotel y nos parece perfecto.

Situado en un lugar excepcional, junto al casco urbano y pegado a la playa, por lo que no hace falta ni mover el coche.

La habitación muy espaciosa, muy buen servicio de habitaciones.

La estancia ha sido en régimen de Media Pensión, pudiendo elegir entre almuerzo y cena que junto al desayuno son esplendidos.

Destaca la amabilidad y simpatía de todo el personal.

Volveremos
