    Not perfect

    rating25 Apr 2026

    The lunch menu was limited if you did not want a full meal, this restaurant was the only choice on an evening where the beach restaurant was not availableBe careful when you book a room, the room adjacent to mine had a hot tub on the terrace which made my terrace unusable because of the noise. Maria Jose Antunez Corrales, Director General at Hotel El Fuerte Marbella, responded to this review Dear Whu, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding the lunch options, we understand that the limited menu on that day was not ideal, especially with the beach restaurant being unavailable, and we will take your comments into account as we review our dining alternatives for such situations.We also regret the inconvenience caused by noise from the adjacent terrace hot tub. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as comfort and rest are very important to us. We will look into ways to better manage room allocation and reduce any possible disturbance for future guests.We hope you might consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable and seamless stay.Kind regards,
