  Perfect Golfing Stay & Location

  30 Sept 2026

  We stayed at the hotel 3 nights as a group of 4 for a golf trip and cannot recommend this place enough. From booking the hotel and all the way through our stay - the staff were super helpful and went out of their way to help me reserve tee times at local courses nearby without issue and resolve any queries we had during our time there. We had the exectutive rooms which were fantastic, spacious and comfy and very well kept during our stay. Breakfast was great with lots of food variety and drinks options. The pool area was great and if you book higher spec room, you get access to an adults only pool which is also great. For any golfers looking for a place to base themselves for all the awesome courses in the area - this place is a must as it sits pretty central and very close to Atalaya, Guadalmina, Los Naranjos to name a few. Will definitely be visiting for another trip soon! Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Barcelo Marbella, responded to this review Dear Guest, Many thanks for your review.We are delighted that your group of four found our executive rooms so spacious, comfortable and well maintained throughout your three-night visit.It is equally pleasing to know that our team went out of their way to help you arrange tee times at the nearby courses and that every query was handled promptly. Your kind words about the breakfast variety, the pool area and the adults-only pool access will mean a lot to everyone here.Having Guadalmina just 100 metres away and courses like Atalaya and Los Naranjos close by makes our location a natural choice for golfers, and we are glad it served you so well.We would be happy to have the opportunity of welcoming you back in the future.Best wishes,Equipo Directivo - Management Team

  Barceló Marbella truly special

  29 Sept 2026

  From the very moment we walked through the doors of Barceló Marbella, something told us this stay would be different. But nothing could have prepared us for the warmth waiting for us behind the reception desk.Justine. Remember that name.After a rather tiring drive from Málaga, we arrived with our suitcases and that little knot of worry in our stomachs – *will everything be alright?* Justine looked up with a genuine smile, greeted us warmly, and immediately made us feel at ease.She didn't just hand us a key: she asked if the journey had been smooth, recommended a lovely little spot for dinner near San Pedro Alcántara, and traced on a map exactly where Puerto Banús was for our evening out the next day. She even slipped in a heartfelt, *"If you need anything at all, I'm right here – please don't hesitate."* The kind of sincerity you simply can't fake.We felt *expected*, not just checked in.What moved us the most was feeling just how deeply Justine *loves* what she does. Every word, every gesture breathes passion and pride in representing this hotel. There is nothing mechanical about her, nothing rehearsed. You sense a genuine eagerness, a natural enthusiasm that lights up every single exchange.I completely understand why the HR team chose her to welcome travellers: she brings that profoundly human, warm dimension that transforms a beautiful property into a true place to *live*. Thanks to her, the walls become a home, and the hallways, a smile.The room? Spacious, bathed in light, impeccably clean. The balcony overlooks the golf greens, and that golden September light flooding the room at dusk… a living painting. The bedding is sumptuous, the air conditioning whisper-quiet, and every morning the sheets are pulled perfectly taut. You breathe.Breakfast deserves a mention all its own: freshly sliced fruit, pastries still warm from the oven, eggs cooked right before your eyes, freshly squeezed juices… a quiet feast before heading to the pool – vast, sparkling, lined with sun loungers where the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle lapping of water.In the evening, the atmosphere is peaceful, almost hushed. You wander through the gardens, sip a glass at the Santa María bar, and the soft Andalusian air does the rest.We leave with light hearts and one absolute certainty: we are coming back. And the first person we hope to see when we push through those doors again is Justine.Thank you for everything. ?? Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Barcelo Marbella, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for choosing us and for taking the time to write a review.We are delighted that your arrival felt so personal and that Justine made such a lasting impression from the very first moment. Her natural warmth and genuine enthusiasm for welcoming our guests are qualities we value deeply, and knowing she helped turn a tiring journey into the start of something special means the world to us.It is wonderful that you found your room bright, spacious and impeccably kept, with that golden light over the golf course creating such a memorable backdrop. Your appreciation for the comfortable bedding and the quiet climate control tells us you rested exactly as you deserved.Breakfast seems to have been a highlight of your mornings, and we are glad the fresh fruit, warm pastries and live egg station set a calm tone before days spent by the pool.The peaceful evenings you describe, wandering through the gardens and enjoying a drink at the Santa María bar, capture exactly the atmosphere we hope to create. That gentle Andalusian air and birdsong are part of what makes this corner of the Costa del Sol so special.We hope that we may be able to welcome you back again soon! With renewed thanks,Equipo Directivo - Management Team

  28 Sept 2026

  Love this hotel!!! I came last year for my 40th and loved it so much i came again just for a long weekend away!Wonderful clean rooms, cleaners very welcoming and friendly!Reception was helpful and kind. We got a wonderful twin room very spacious and cool with AC. The design and grounds of this hotel is amazing.! Lifeguards at the pool is friendly and welcoming! The pool is very big and clean. Outstanding golf course scenery too. And the food options for breakfast was great! I will definitely come back again and again!The hotel is short uber drives away to towns etc! 45mins drive from malaga airport. Just be careful using bolt or ubers some drivers weren't very nice or friendly. Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Barcelo Marbella, responded to this review Dear Guest,We value your feedback.We are delighted that your second stay at Barceló Marbella was just as memorable as your first, and that you chose to return for another getaway.It is lovely to know that your room felt spacious and cool, and that our housekeeping and reception teams made you feel warmly looked after. The colonial-style design and the carefully kept grounds are aspects we take great pride in, so your appreciation means a lot.Even so, we are sorry to learn that some of the drivers you encountered through ride-hailing services were less than courteous. While this falls outside our direct operation, we understand how it can colour the overall experience and we regret any discomfort it caused.Nonetheless, we are thrilled that you enjoyed the large pool and the scenic views over the golf course. Knowing that our lifeguards contributed to a friendly atmosphere and that breakfast offered you a great start to each day is wonderful to hear.Finally, the convenience of reaching nearby towns and the airport with ease makes our location a real asset, and we are glad you were able to make the most of it.Thank you again; it would be a pleasure to have you return. Best wishes,Equipo Directivo - Management Team

  This is our 3rd stay at Barcelo Marbella and we really love it here! The service is always fantastic and the staff are always really attentive, a special shoutout to Maria and Diego at the santa-maria bar, such lovely people and even remembered my drinks order! Rooms are clean, drinks are really well priced and the hotel is in an ideal location to get to Puerto banus but still be nice and quiet when you want it. We cant wait to return for our 4th visit!
