I have stayed at many hotels the world over, and have lived in the area for a very long time, staying and dining at this hotel whenever the occasion presents itself, and I can say comfortably that this is my favourite hotel. It doesn't boast fifty swimming pools or eighty Michelin star restaurants, it doesn't have golden night clubs or restaurants serving steaks with gold on top of them. To some, this may be a bad thing, to me it is heaven. If you are looking for a mass resort, look elsewhere (scoff), what the Marbella Club does well is continue on its legacy of being a supreme quality resort, doing everything you would want impeccably well and retaining the old sense of style that adorned the Costa del Sol. Intimate luxury is the lifestyle here, and they practically invented it. There simply is no topping the king.
