We had our 3 day Indian wedding here in May and exclusively hired the hotel to accommodate our immediate family. This was a last minute change due to our original venue falling through at short notice but we couldn’t have been happier in the end- the hotel is stunning, absolutely brand new with brilliant amenities, everything decorated tastefully and to an excellent standard. The views are breathtaking, with the Sierra Blanca mountain on one side and the sea visible on the other. The staff were so welcoming and looked after us and all our guests incredibly well- the housekeeping and kitchen staff were so lovely and really went the extra mile to make us comfortable. The management including Martin and Ivan went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly and we honestly couldn’t thank them enough. We are looking forward to coming back to stay and enjoy this beautiful hotel again!

We stayed here for a week with my family. The hotel is nice but the bathrooms need an upgrade. They are very old and traditional. The hotel was quiet as the Al Nasir football team was also staying there and took up a lot of the hotel, which was nice for us. When they left (which was 1 day before we left), it got much busier and made a difference. The breakfast is ok but not great. The staff were nice and friendly. The pool area was nice but you have to go to the bar to order food and drinks. There is a free a shuttle bus, which takes you to and from Puerto Banus and Marbella old town, which was great. We used it daily to get around. Would recommend the hotel.

Wonderful and memorable first visit to Marbella, not disappointed to stay in one more NH hotel after a very pleasant and exceptional sojourn in NH Collection in Torino 2nd week of Sept. Location is good - walking distance to good restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Big simple lobby, friendly staff, assigned room was spacious, comfy bed, and bathroom was big enough - separate sink which is convenient and large hallways. Not 100% clean bathroom and room but acceptable! Buffet breakfast is good, with hot and cold food items to feast the palate. Overall, it's a good hotel to stay in beautiful Marbella!!

This is a pretty basic hotel, and the decor will not be to everyone's taste! However, the bed was comfortable, the room was large, there was a small balcony and there was bottled water. It was fine for a two-night stay in order to come and meet friends. The towels were pretty basic and I was slightly perplexed as to why there was only one chair on the outside patio of Room 206. There's also an interconnecting door in Room 206, which is probably useful for families but less useful in terms of hearing everything that's said in the next-door room. There is a restaurant next to the hotel (which we didn't try but looked fine, and was open for breakfast). We did try Masala Indian Restaurant one night, but it's not a place I need to go back to. The Carrefour supermarket is a ten-minute walk, as is the beach. The receptionist, Belina, was delightful.

Plus points: Room large, shower huge although water temperature varied greatly, 2 sinks, quiet location (we were in the back section). Staff are lovely and helpful and have a great command of English and various other languages. Pool big and very quiet in April! There were people swimming in it but I didn’t try it. Close proximity to beach (if you are on holiday) it’s a short walk across the road and through the very expensive Porto Romano resort. Negative points: No alcohol served anywhere in the hotel. Hotel is Halal friendly but doesn’t offer alternatives, not a huge issue as I eat it but my partner wanted pork sausages and bacon and it isn’t offered. Breakfast does offer a good variety of choices though so no one went hungry! Huge negative is the proximity to the local Mosque in terms of the chanting several times a day for long periods, probably should be mentioned on the website - along with the no alcohol - so guests can make an informed decision. The hotel is very minimalistic and I wouldn’t say it is 5 star but in line with other southern European countries the stars are often exaggerated. I think 4 star is a more suitable rating. It does have a gym but it’s a very basic gym. Also has a spa open from 10-6 but I didn’t visit this. The biggest problem for me was the poor WiFi. They offer two types WIFI_Alanda and ALAND_PRO and both were absolutely dire. I ended up streaming off my mobile device. I tried it in several locations and eventually popped across the road to the Porto Romano resort as their WiFi is amazing. This is probably the main reason for the 3 star review as it cannot be a business hotel if it doesn’t have the services to support it. Lovely stay but the stress of not being able to connect to WiFi that could support a teams call was really negative.

My wife and I have just returned home from our visit to Guadalpin Suites where we stayed 3 weeks. The facilities exceeded all of our expectations, including the comfortable beds, excellent bathroom facilities, very good kitchen with washing machine for our clothes and dish washer. The apartment was cleaned spotlessly every day by the housekeeping staff who were so friendly and welcoming and nothing was a problem for them including delivering an iron and board whenever needed. The rooms were very restful and quiet helping us to have a wonderful sleep every night. The breakfast in Gigi's every morning was a wonderful treat with superb fresh food provided every morning served by the most hospitable staff. The ladies on reception ( especially Yan Yan ) were very professional and could not have been more helpful. They were always very courteous and helped with any queries we had. We were so impressed that we have booked our next holiday in March 2024 before departing on Saturday last. Tony & Barbara ( Ireland )
