Our first visit to Marbella and stay at the Gran Marbella Hotel & Beach Club was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by the staff and instantly made to feel relaxed and valued. Check-in was seamless, and being greeted with a glass of champagne was a fantastic touch that immediately set the tone for the weekend.

The level of service throughout our stay was genuinely outstanding. Every member of staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the attention to detail across the hotel was incredibly impressive.

The hotel itself is stunning — beautifully designed, spotless throughout, and offering a true luxury experience while still feeling comfortable and relaxing. From the rooms and pool areas to the restaurants and beach club, every part of the property is exceptionally well maintained. The location is also perfect, allowing you to enjoy everything Marbella has to offer while still feeling peaceful and exclusive.

We booked this trip for a relaxing long weekend, and it delivered exactly that. The calm, luxurious atmosphere made it easy to completely switch off and enjoy every moment.

This was genuinely one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had, and we honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. Huge thanks to all the staff for making our first Marbella trip so memorable. 10/10 in every aspect — we’re already planning our return.

The hotel is in a very quiet area, so plan to uber a lot to town for the high end restaurants and shopping. The hotels club Amu has very good food and bartenders. Everyone on staff is extremely friendly and the three pools at the hotel are nice and very quiet. The only draw back for our group was the on property gym, one bench for a hotel this size? Another thing that future guests should know is the infinity pool at the beach is a two block walk off property and they charge 50 euros per chair, per day. We paid over 15k for three rooms and just thought this charge was unfair and not mentioned at booking and added up with six of us very quickly.

I recently stayed at the Grand Hotel Marbella Beach Club & Resort and overall had a fantastic experience. The hotel itself is beautifully clean and well maintained, with a real sense of luxury throughout. The pools are stunning and provide a perfect place to relax and unwind.

The staff truly made the stay exceptional — everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The gym is excellent.

Breakfast was another highlight, with a great selection and high-quality food that set us up nicely for each day.

There are just a couple of minor points worth mentioning. The bar prices are extremely high, even by Marbella standards — charging around €20 for a gin and tonic felt excessive and a bit unnecessary. Additionally, while there is supposed to be an adults-only pool policy, this wasn’t consistently enforced. Children were allowed to play in the adult pool area, and despite lifeguards being present, the rules didn’t seem to be upheld.

That said, these are relatively small issues in what was otherwise a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend the hotel for its cleanliness, excellent staff, great breakfast, and beautiful pool areas.

Just beautiful! Stayed solo, midweek, off-season but couldn't have asked for more from this hotel. The bellboy / concierge service absolutely made this stay 5*, but all of the staff between reception, dining & security were very friendly and welcoming. The room was extremely clean, felt brand new and most importantly was quiet during night hours. Pool area felt incredibly luxurious, although as it was March, only one pool was open, and it was also not heated. Easy walking distance to the beach and spa, but golf carts will take you there if you'd like. Spa itself had nice facilities including a heated lap pool, as well as several jacuzzi style seats & cold plunge pool. I feel the massage treatment I received was a little overpriced for the experience, but it was welcoming and relaxing.

Be aware that this hotel is not in walking distance to many amenities, and a taxi / uber to Marbella Old Town area will cost between €10 - €16 each way. The area around the hotel seems to have a lot of private housing development going on, but be prepared to be slightly isolated if you are not planning to venture out. Overall I am very happy to have stayed here, and would absolutely recommend a visit. I will be looking to return soon!

The staff at front desk were not accomodating and supportive and were very rude. Particularly the check in staff. The staff at night could not provide me with a blanket as I was cold and the heating was not working in the room. I asked for support and they told me to wait until the morning. This happened two night in a row. I would not go back here. The ground were nice and the breakfast but otherwise staff did not make me feel welcome or happy with my stay.

Great shower.Very comfy bed.
Some staircases didn't have handrails so I wslked the long way round and walked down the ramp.
Garden bar was great. Lots of different cocktails. Friendly staff. Had a guitarist / saxophonist some afternoons

This resort is top notch and the exact relaxing experience I was hoping for. My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon here. The five nights we stayed were superb and I could not have asked for a better room. It was clean, spacious and had all the amenities I needed and some I didn’t realize I would love, particularly the bath tub and having light switches that control the whole room lights by the bed. Our first night we got tapas at the resort restaurant and they were amazing. Every breakfast was absolutely wonderful. I’d say dinners beyond our first night were fine I wasn’t overly impressed with the resort restaurant when we had our second meal there. I had the shrimp linguini and my husband had one of the salads it was good but didn’t blow my mind. La Scala and Rubyana were great nearby restaurants that we also tried. I think this is a wonderful place to stay if you want to relax and spend your days alternating pools and beach loungers. My only complaint which I don’t think is a very fair complaint is I felt like it was difficult to get a drink while lounging by the pool. The adult only pool was supposed to have a bar but it was only open the one day we were there (Sunday?) the other five days it wasn’t open and so you have to go over to the garden bar which isn’t that far but when you’re on a nice vacation and spending the amount of money you spend at a resort it would be nice if there was easier access to drinks but I might just be American.

Gran Marbella is a very classy place that is brand new. The private pool suite was absolutely gorgeous and perfect. Even the toilet paper was top grade. Parking was super easy and convenient with close parking to our room via a back gate. The beach is an easy one block stroll where one can access the Beach Club pool. This area is also beautiful with a direct view from the infinity pool to the ocean. Drinks there were delicious. Breakfast was also delicious and on the days we werent able to stay for breakfast (due to excursions) they offered and made us a lunch/breakfast to take with us. We would definitely come back!

Lovely modernised hotel with great facilities

Lovely hotel in fabulous location near the beach, super friendly staff & good service. Bright room with sea view, big comfortable bed, nice bathroom, good well stocked bar, however behind our bedroom was the Tradesmans entrance for deliveries so all we could hear from the early hours of the morning was lorries and vans pulling in to deliver goods etc and then the sound of the reversing alarms on the lorries and vans - so it wasn't a good night sleep unfortunately.

We absolutely loved this resort.
It is new, very clean and spacious. Our juniors suite had 2 balconies, ocean view and a separate walk in closet ( I can't` recall having it anywhere else before and it was great to place our luggages). The design and decoration are very tasteful and elegant but not overwhelming or crowded.
The buffet breakfast was plenty and a great variety, we did not feel adding anything extra from the menu, but it was available.
We went in early October, so did not swim in the ocean but enjoyed the pools.
Staff was very helpful and kind.
We found it as a great starting point for making day trips around, sad we could not stay longer.

I stayed at Gran Marbella for part of my first solo trip. I would give this hotel 6 stars if I could! The hospitality of the staff was exceptional to the very end of my stay. Here's and example: The morning I checked out, I decided to grab breakfast at the hotel before driving to Portugal. I left my bags at the desk while I got breakfast and planned to get my car afterwards and head out. When I came back from breakfast, the valet had the car waiting for me out front with bags already loaded and a cold ice water in the console for my drive. He was GREAT the entire visit. They anticipate your needs and you could not ask for a better experience, especially when you are the one who is usually caring for everyone else! I am recommending Gran Marbella Resort and Beach Club to all of my family and friends and plan to make this a regular getaway for myself!

Mixed feelings on our stay at this property. Ultimately we would stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone visiting Marbella.

Pros:
- the room we stayed in had been recently updated and was generally aesthetically attractive
- some of the staff we encountered were very friendly. The porters and staff at beach bar were consistently helpful, efficient and welcoming.
- the beach bar/restaurant is excellent. It was recently opened and met our expectations for what we were looking for on a family vacation at a 5-star beach property. The food there was excellent.
- the pools at the property are large and clean. They were not busy during our stay.

Cons:
- The hotel is surrounded by ongoing building work on two sides. The major work was at the back of the hotel and thankfully didn’t disturb us. The work at the front of the hotel was not active during our stay but at some point will be massively disruptive to hotel guests as is right next to the pools and the restaurant/bar area.
- the area and location of the hotel was not attractive. The hotel is not on the beach and has rows of smaller homes between the hotel and the beach. There is nothing else within walking distance. The hotel is far from Marbella itself - Uber fares were $75 equivalent when we looked, although taxis were cheaper.
- we were put off by the active security guards patrolling. Multiple signs of alarm systems - is crime a risk here?
- Service was not consistently good / 5 star from all staff

Amazing newly refurbished hotel, 15min from Marbella but being close to long sandy beach makes up for this. And they just opened their beach club which was perfect to be at a pool and be able to run into the sea too. The staff were amazing and helpful. The rooms are great. Just top notch quality.

What a stunning hotel! The staff were so friendly and the service impeccable. There are four pools and they were always quiet so we easily got sunbeds everyday. There is easy access to the beach as well and a separate beach club but you need to book this separately.

I had such a great time at Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club! The hotel is beautiful and the atmosphere is so peaceful, especially the Courtyard area. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and hang out with the family after a sunny day out in the beach.

The food was a highlight of my stay. Every meal I had was delicious, and the variety of options was fantastic. Apparently the Beach Club will open later this year and it will alap have seaside dining and spa. Something to look forward to on our next visit.

Had a wonderful stay here at the hotel. The hotel is new and has been designed beautifully. The reception is bright and welcoming, just like the fabulous staff who can’t do enough to make the stay pleasant.
We were given a Sea View room that had a balcony. The beds were super comfy and having a coffee on the balcony in the morning was the best wake up.
There are several pools to chose from and enough space that you don’t get on top for f other guests.

The beach is only a short walk from the hotel and was bliss.

Would definitely recommend staying here. Can’t wait to come back.
