Breakfast

Positively, several guests noted that breakfasts were delicious, varied, well-presented and a good value for money. It was often described as tasty and up to four-star standard with some people enjoying specific offerings like diverse egg dishes prepared with a smile by friendly cooks.

However, the breakfast service did have its drawbacks. The breakfast is no longer served in the villas but in a restaurant at a nearby hotel, which some found inconvenient. Others mentioned a limited selection with descriptions of the spread ranging from "very simple and routine" to "poor" and "monotonous." Despite some praise for the deliciousness and diversity of the meals, critiques about the lack of variety and blandness were common.

Overall, while many guests found the breakfast enjoyable and fitting for their needs, there were consistent suggestions for improving the variety and presentation to better match the resort’s grandeur.

Dinner
The dining experience at Marbella Resort has received overall positive feedback from guests. The property offers good deals on dining and has an on-site cafe that appears to be very popular in the evenings. While the resort's main restaurant does not serve meals and guests have to visit a nearby hotel for dining, there are many dining options conveniently located across the road.

Guests enjoyed a variety of lunches and dinners at the resort, praising the lovely atmosphere and taste of the food. The buffet offers diverse options, including delicious Arab cuisine and yummy pizza. The quality of the food is frequently described as excellent with specific mentions of dishes like the delicious biryani.

In addition to the on-site offerings, the area surrounding Marbella Resort provides plenty of eateries ranging from American fast food places to Arab restaurants, ensuring that guests have a multitude of dining choices.

Overall, Marbella Resort ensures a delightful culinary experience whether dining on-site or exploring nearby options.

Rooms
Marbella Resort has garnered a variety of feedback regarding its accommodations with a predominant focus on spaciousness and cleanliness. Many guests appreciate the large, well-designed rooms that boast plenty of space, making them ideal for families, especially those with small children. The individual bungalows and stand-alone villas offer privacy and an exceptional layout, ensuring a comfortable stay.

The resort’s suites, particularly the master suites, impress with their expansive size and comfortable furnishings.

The chalet-style rooms have been notably celebrated for their unique, Greek-style architecture and tranquil surroundings. Additionally, guests have highlighted the wonderful views from some rooms and the convenience of garden access for a peaceful experience.

However, certain areas require improvement. Multiple reviews mention noise issues with sounds filtering in from neighboring rooms or external sources. Some rooms, although clean, show signs of wear with old furniture and facilities needing updates. There are occasional reports of rooms not being ready upon arrival, insufficiently equipped kitchens and instances of pests like ants.

In summary, while Marbella Resort excels in providing spacious and comfortable accommodations with standout bungalow and suite options, it could benefit from addressing maintenance concerns and noise management to enhance the overall guest experience.

Beds
Marbella Resort offers a mixed experience when it comes to their beds with notable mentions both positive and negative from guests. On the positive side, many found the beds to be very comfortable and were able to sleep easily. Several guests highlighted that the beds were of excellent quality, large and suitable for two persons. A number of praises were also given to the soft and comforting nature of some beds with particular mentions of beds in the junior suites being quite accommodating for families. The resort was also responsive to requests, replacing beds when guests found issues.

However, some guests experienced issues related to bed sizes with repeated complaints about double beds being too small and not meeting expectations of king-size dimensions. Several reviews mentioned discomfort caused by noisy and broken beds, while others found the bedding and sheets to be worn out and not thoroughly clean. Specific issues of dirt, hair and dampness in the beddings were brought up, indicating inconsistency in the housekeeping standards. There were also mentions of bed sheets not being changed unless specifically requested, which might detract from the overall experience for some guests.

Overall, while the resort does provide comfortable and large beds that many guests appreciate, there's room for improvement in maintenance and cleanliness to ensure a consistently positive sleeping experience.

Cleanliness

Guests frequently praise the resort for having clean rooms and commend the housekeeping staff for their prompt and professional service. Many visitors find the rooms to be neat, well-maintained and very comfortable. The resort's swimming pool is also highlighted for being very clean.

However, not all experiences are positive. Some guests report issues with cleanliness, noting that certain rooms were not properly cleaned and mentioning the presence of insects such as ants, cockroaches and even lizards. The cleanliness of towels and bedding has been a concern for some with complaints about old and dirty linens. Issues such as delayed cleaning services, dirty bathrooms and poorly maintained balconies have also been mentioned.

While there are visitors who appreciate the resort's clean and comfortable atmosphere, there is a clear indication that the resort needs to address inconsistencies in their cleaning standards to improve overall guest satisfaction.

Staff
The reviews for Marbella Resort's staff are overwhelmingly positive, highlighting their friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism. Guests frequently mention the exceptional service provided by specific staff members, including those at the reception, housekeeping and restaurant. Names like Faisal, Zain, Sister Hala, Ahmed and Anil are commonly noted for their excellent service and accommodating nature.

Wi-Fi
Guest reviews of Marbella Resort highlight a mixed experience with the hotel's WiFi service. Some praise the internet as fast and reliable, particularly noting good connectivity in the rooms. However, many others report significant issues, including weak signals, intermittent cutting off and overall unreliability. Several complaints mention that the WiFi is either not working in parts of the room or not functioning at all despite informing the reception multiple times. While there are clear instances of fast and good internet, these seem inconsistent, suggesting that the WiFi quality may vary widely depending on the specific room or area within the resort.

Pool
Marbella Resort offers a distinctive appeal compared to typical skyscraper hotels, providing comfortable and well-designed swimming facilities. Guests consistently highlight the variety and beauty of the pools, including a warm and sizable main pool and a smaller, attractive children's pool. The pools are often described as very clean with comfortable loungers and a good atmosphere surrounding them.

Though primarily regarded positively, some guests did note areas for improvement, such as the need for better maintenance and cleanliness, particularly for the children's pool. Despite these concerns, the family-friendly environment of the pool area, along with helpful staff and warm water, made poolside relaxation enjoyable.

Crowding can be an issue, particularly since the larger pools cater mainly to adults and skilled children, while the smaller kids' pool may not adequately accommodate all young guests. Additionally, the pool's depth starts at 1.35 meters, which may be too deep for some children, but the overall experience of diving into the well-maintained, geometric pools leaves a lasting positive impression on most visitors.

Furthermore, some design and operational quirks, such as the presence of only one main pool and the early closure of the upper pool area, did not significantly detract from the overall pool experience. Guests generally had a pleasant time, enjoying both the heated and outdoor pools.

While the poolside bar's drink prices were noted as overpriced, the overall quality of the poolside amenities, supportive attitudes of pool staff and the unique setting of Marbella Resort contributed to a satisfying staycation for many families and individuals.

Tennis

Parking
Marbella Resort offers a range of parking amenities that cater to various guest needs. Many reviews highlight the convenience of parking with spaces often situated very close to the rooms or villas, making it easy to load and unload luggage. Some guests appreciated that each villa comes with its own reserved and private parking spot, adding to the convenience and sense of security during their stay. The spacious and free parking areas were also noted positively, providing ample room for vehicles.

While the parking space can be very near the room, offering direct access to accommodations, there were a few mentions of narrow spaces and the occasional need to park farther away than desired. Additionally, some guests pointed out the absence of shaded parking, which could be an issue in the warmer months.

Despite a few mentions of parking issues and the need for better organization, the overall sentiment was positive with many appreciating the convenience and accessibility of the parking services at the Marbella Resort.

The spacious and clean surroundings contribute to a comfortable stay and the children are sure to find joy in the pool facilities, although there have been mentions of the kids' swimming pool being closed on occasion. A construction site for a new children's playground bodes well for future visits, promising even more activities for the young ones.

Guests have praised the serene ambiance and the fact that all necessary services are conveniently nearby. Ideal for family gatherings, the resort has received high recommendations for its tranquility and suitability for both large and small families. However, it's worth noting a few guests pointed out improvements could be made, such as the inclusion of breakfast within the resort and perhaps additional maid services.

4 Star
Marbella Resort has a wide range of opinions regarding its four-star rating. While some guests affirm it provides a complete four-star experience, others feel it falls short of what is expected from a four-star establishment. The resort operates under a very old management structure and some of its facilities appear outdated, contributing to the perception that its current condition does not match the four-star standard. The staff's friendliness has also been mentioned as an area needing improvement to truly meet the expectations of a four-star hotel. Despite these points, many guests still recognize it as a 4-star hotel, suggesting that while there are areas for improvement, it still offers several qualities expected of such a rating.

Business
Marbella Resort offers a solid choice for business travelers, emphasizing convenience and functionality. The resort provides a decent breakfast to start the day, while the exceptional Internet service ensures that staying connected is hassle-free. Business travelers will appreciate the clean and well-maintained business rooms, alongside the availability of well-equipped board rooms and a dedicated business center. The resort is conveniently located, making it an ideal spot for frequent meetings and conventions. However, the reception service has room for improvement with some guests noting unprofessional behavior and mismatches in reservations. Despite this, the overall environment is conducive for business needs, evidenced by the frequent praise from business travelers.

Outdoor Pool
The outdoor pool at Marbella Resort receives a mix of positive and critical feedback from guests. On the positive side, many guests appreciate that the pool is deep and find it to be an awesome feature of the resort. A swimming trainer is available poolside at a reasonable price, which adds to the appeal for those looking to improve their swimming skills. The pool is deemed good for adults and trained kids with the water temperature well-regulated. Kids particularly enjoy the pool, finding the area safe.

However, there are some drawbacks. The resort has only one main pool, which often gets crowded, making it less enjoyable for all guests. The pool starts at a height of 1.35 meters, which might not be ideal for everyone. While there is a small pool for kids, it probably doesn't suffice during peak times. Despite these points, the overall sentiment is that the pool area is popular with water slides and a safe, controlled environment for children, offering an enjoyable swimming experience for families.
