Fantastic sea view suite & warm hospitality at El Fuerte
19 Sept 2026
We had a lovely 9 nights in a sea view suite. The room was fabulous, clean and relaxing with fantastic views. The hotel was excellent! All of the staff were absolutely fantastic and that was one thing that stood out so much. From breakfast staff to housekeeping to reception, all really friendly and professional. The location was also very convenient. We are regular visitors to Marbella and have stayed at several hotels in the area from Puerto Romano to Marbella Club. Our stay here at El Fuerte was equally as pleasant and really enjoyable & certainly far better value.. We will definitely be planning to come back and stay in 2027. Thank you! Maria Jose Antunez Corrales, Director General at Hotel El Fuerte Marbella, responded to this review Dear Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review of your nine-night stay with us.We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your sea view suite and that you found it fabulous, clean, relaxing, and complemented by such beautiful views. It is especially rewarding to know that the warmth, friendliness, and professionalism of our team made such a positive impression on you. We will be sure to share your kind words with our breakfast, housekeeping, and reception teams.We are also pleased that you appreciated our convenient location and that, as regular visitors to Marbella with experience of several renowned hotels in the area, you found your stay at El Fuerte Marbella equally enjoyable and to be such good value.Knowing that you are already planning to return in 2027 is truly the best compliment we could receive. We will be delighted to welcome you back and look forward to making your next stay just as memorable.Thank you once again for choosing El Fuerte Marbella and for your kind recommendation.Warmest regards.

This may be the perfect hotel…
12 Sept 2026
I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels that were lovely and well run, but this actually was perfect. It’s a large hotel with a significant amount of staff that never get in your way, but just provide excellence service and comfort. The food was fantastic then of course sitting on the beach in Marbella looking out at the ocean is pretty great to start with. But I don’t want to minimize that every detail was looked to by the staff. I had complained upon check-in that I’ve had trouble sleeping in the platform beds in Europe and how uncomfortable they are for me and the gal said don’t worry about that. I’ll take care of it and make sure you have a great bedroom and we did. I slept like a baby the entire time we were there.. there were multiple areas where you could sit and read or have a drink or talk with many pools and drink/food options. Five stars are not enough. Maria Jose Antunez Corrales, Director General at Hotel El Fuerte Marbella, responded to this review Dear Becki,Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback about your recent stay with us.We are thrilled to know our team made you feel so well taken care of, especially regarding your bedding preferences. Hearing that you enjoyed our prime beachfront setting, dining, and facilities truly means the world to us.We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Marbella very soon!Warm regards,Guest Experience Team
