The beautiful nightmare began upon arrival. Arrived very hungry and tired. The restaurant closed at 6p and there was no room service. The par room they assigned me had a broken AC. I complained three times and was told it was just weak AC. On the third day I found the operations manager who admitted the AC was broken and moved me after two days of horrible sleep. The new room was an upgrade but was missing black out curtains. The place is poorly staffed including the restaurants. The golf course is beautiful and well maintained. I did my best on very little sleep which put a damper on my vacation.

Pros: Very clean and quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons: No room service, restaurant closes at 8 pm. No coffee machine in the room and I've never been to a hotel that doesn't provide at least 1 bottle of complimentary water per day before this hotel. Strange for the cost of a nights stary vs cost of a bottle of water.

This hotel is staffed by caring people, who always make my wife & I feel looked after. We have stayed 2-3 times each year for a number of years now and enjoy the peace and quiet, however the price of accommodation has risen sharply since Covid as lots of places have, and the bar now shuts at 9pm along with a lack of attention to sunbathers at poolside so getting food / drinks was very difficult at times- I think the increase in prices should mean that there is more attention for residents poolside and bar / room service should be extended to 11pm

Golf hotel without Golf hospitality

I expected to hire clubs at the golf Hotel as part of the Golf Hotel hospitality as I was travelling with family and would have used the facilities as and when. I was quoted Hiring charges of Eur 65.00 per day when one would have expected Eur 65.00 per week!
Golf Club hire is available on line from company that would deliver and collect the clubs at a reasonable rate. Unfortunately, did not realise till late.

A little haven in Marbella

Unless you really like saying in a really busy town, then this hotel is for you. Small, but big enough to care. We are not golfers, but it looked a great course to me. Hotel is very \"homely\" with a real charm. The buffet breakfast was our only meal taken at the hotel, but good choices and adequate. Drinks are reasonable for this type of hotel in a very expensive resort. Only real moan would be, no free bottled water in room ( €3 for a small bottle ) and no facility to make tea or coffee in the room. No where nearby to go, so you are trapped. Would defiantly go back if in Marbella again.

Lovely hotel but might need a car

The Rio Real Hotel is a perfect escape for golfers and those looking for a peaceful break. The hotel is pretty isolated being in a residential area with nowhere to walk to so a car or a budget for taxi's is essential. The hotel pool is very small which is more for cooling down than a swim. Setting is beautiful, very peaceful and calm although the \"spa\" didn't seem to be open. Food excellent and costs are usual Marbella prices. Overall an excellent stay.

Quiet hotel on golf course

We stayed as a couple for 5 nights in July. Great hotel in beautiful surroundings even for non-golf players like ourselves. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Room was spotlessly clean with clean towels daily. The pool area was clean and had a bar selling drinks and snacks at reasonable prices. A car is a must for getting around as the hotel is quite remote, especially if you don't want to eat in the hotel restaurant every night. There is a buggy service that takes you to and from the beach.

Great Stay in Marbella

Booked this last minute for a detour to Marbella. We liked it so much we stayed an extra night. The hotel is on a golf course, but neither of us play golf, - nevertheless we found it to be perfect. Very quiet and fresh position, the hotel has only 29 rooms so not crowded at all, rooms are very large with sofa, balcony and huge bathroom. Would recommend to anybody - golfers or not! Pool is a little small, but it was empty most of the time as the hotle has so few rooms and lots of people will be out playing golf. Great bar and restaurant. Prices are in line with city centre prices, so not a rip off - plus you have stunning views over the golf course. Only small negative is the slightly poor breakfast included with the room compared to other places we have stayed at - you get fresh orange juice, a croissant, bread and jam and coffee. You can order more for an extra cost. Overall cannot fault the hotel and had a very relaxing time, which is what we wanted. Oh, the beach is 3minute drive down the road and Marbella centre 6 minutes by car.

Fabulous relaxing stay

If you fancy a relaxing environment away from the hustle of Marbella and you play golf as well then this is the place for you. It is situated 4k from the centre of Marbella and it costs between 12 and 17 euros to get a taxi into the centre and between 10 and 12 euros to get back. This is because the taxis start their meter at the place where they get the call so if they are miles away you get charged for the journey to pick you up.
The hotel itself is spotless and tastful and the rooms are generously sized and the beds are fabulous. The staff are friendly and helpful but there are not enough of them so you can spend a while waiting to be served.
The food is excellent and not bad value and the amenities are pretty good with a nice 12 meter pool and plenty of sun loungers and private areas to relax. The golf course is excellent but expensive but it's not over busy in September when we were there. All in all a great hotel and worth a stay if you want a quiet time.

Fantasic (non-golfing!) break at the Rio Real

We had a lovely 4 day break at the beautiful Rio Real hotel and have to admit we really enjoyed it despite not picking up a golf club at any stage! The rooms are wonderfully spacious, the pool area is a little oasis (and not much frequented by fellow guests, which made it very peaceful) and the bar serves up delicious drinks, snacks etc. Breakfast I have to say was also brilliant with plenty of hot & cold options all served at your table.

Just a short cab ride into Marbella makes this a perfect location just a little way out of town, just enough to give you that feeling of space (and with the golf course all around views are stunning) Just down the road is the Trocadero Arena beachclub too - a great place for sunset drinks and a smart dinner - recommended.

All up a brilliant place for a break in the sunshine. We'd hope to come back.

Rested at Rio Real

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days. It was very easy to find, the staff were all very nice, very helpful, the food in the bar was excellent and very reasonably priced compared with any local restaurants. The only reason I didn't give it 5 out of 5 in all categories was due to the lack of tea/coffee facilites in the room, I don't know if that is a Spainish thing or not, it's a small point anyway. The coffee at breakfast was superb. Would definitely go back, and I don't even play golf!

Marbella's hidden gem

Just returned after 10 days at this resort - it was one of the best hotels we have stayed in! From the reception staff to the waitresses at breakfast & the cleaners - all were very helpful & nothing was too much trouble.
We were told it was continental breakfast but you could actually order a cooked breakfast too. And it was lovely to sit on the outside terrace to eat overlooking the immaculate golf course, gardens & the mountains. Lunch was also very good.
The par-superior rooms are really spacious - lovely big bathroom with a large shower,bath & twin sinks. Very comfortable bed & very clean.
Extra large patio doors open onto a balcony with once again lovely views.
A taxi into the town was under 10 euros & reception will call you a taxi.
And finally just to mention the roof terrace pool - so peaceful sometimes we were the only ones there! And a direct dial phone to order drinks - perfect!

Complete Rest & Relaxation

I can honestly stay that I was pleasantly impressed with the Rio Real Resort. Set away from the coast in the hillside on the outskirts of Marbella it truly is a little gem. The rooms of the hotel were roomy and extremely comfortable with gorgeous views over the 11th hole and mountainside. As a 'golf widow' I found the spa and roof top pool area a great escape and I must confess that I was enticed to caddy for my other half as the course was a green oasis full of flowers and wildlife. For the golfer in my life the hotel scored extra points for offering vastly discounted course fees as a resident. I would definately return and recommend to friends for a totally relaxing break.
