Costa del Sol Occidental Spa Hotels

We had an absolutely fantastic stay and can’t recommend this hotel enough. The staff and service were a perfect 10/10—genuinely some of the most attentive and professional people I’ve encountered. We made a very last-minute booking near malaga airport due to our flight being cancelled , and they handled it seamlessly, making the whole process completely stress-free, ensuring we could check in extremely early.From start to finish, everything felt effortless, and the team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. Staying here was an absolute breeze, and the service truly couldn’t have been better.

My stay at Marriott’s Marbella Beach Resort was truly one of the best parts of my trip to Spain. The resort is luxurious and perfect for families. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and fully equipped — including a full kitchen, washing machine, and a lovely balcony overlooking the gardens and pools. The location is excellent, right on the beach, in a quiet and safe area ideal for relaxation after visiting busy cities. The facilities are amazing — both indoor and outdoor pools are great, especially for kids. The staff were very professional, friendly, and always quick to help with anything needed. There’s also a convenient mini-market inside the resort and several restaurants and cafés nearby, making the stay very comfortable. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a calm, upscale stay — I’d definitely return on my next visit

This hotel is punching above its weight and winning. The staff are all really friendly and really take pride in making sure your stay goes well. While on holiday I had a problem with my suitcase not wanting to unlock (likely due to being thrown about in the plane). The staff helped me and found a solution to get inside by cutting the tags and smoothing them off to avoid injury. Without which I'd have had no clothes for the trip. While in Spain we had the national power outage which was totally beyond anyone's control. The staff handled this the best they possibly could. Allowing us to gather water from the pool to aid with flushing toilets, which were affected by the power outage. Providing us with candles and matches. As well as the rooms having a torch inside. When the power came back on, they organised a get-together with complimentary drinks and nibbles to thank us for our patience. This was a lovely touch even though this wasn't the hotels fault. The room I stayed in had recently been renovated and I was so impressed by the new design and choices that had been made. The resort was kept clean all the time by the fantastic cleaning team who were always doing something. All members of staff were friendly and were on board with the hotels pledge to reduce its environmental impact. The hotel doesn't have dedicated parking but on street free parking is so easy to find between the hotel and the park that this isn't an issue. The location is minutes away from the seafront and a selection of places to get breakfast and other meals. I've been to this hotel before, but I've seen a real improvement this year in how Sahara Sunset is being ran. I look forward to seeing how they continue to develop.

Fantastic stay at La Zambra Resort. The property is elegant and well-maintained, with great dining options and lovely views. Service was consistently professional, and the spa was a wonderful bonus. Highly recommended for a luxury getaway.

Absolutely stunning rooms and true five star experience. The bed was amazing and the housekeeping would refill all amenities that we used which was very considerate. The breakfast buffet was exceptional and we loved how generous and diverse the options were. The beach club is a short buggy ride away and also had a great infinity pool there. My only suggestion is to create a real cocktail menu and not the paper print out that was given to us on both days, but everything else was wonderful! The staff are so kind and friendly especially the blonde young man who helped us with our bags and drove us by buggy to the beach club.

The staff service was excellent, the apartment was spotless, very clean, in a great location, and the value for money was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

Great location and room has kitchen and washing machine for clothes. Laundry drying rack on big balcony. 24/7 front desk Gym Pool  Spa  Location is the best! Only 1 block from beach and walking distance to everything. A few negatives were that there was a strange fishy smell in our room and the toilet button to flush was difficult to flush. Would have liked more towels as well. Washcloth and extra bath towels. Iron didn’t work either. Better coffee options and some bottled water would have been nice too.  Otherwise,  would definitely return to this location.

Lovely hotel, very clean and modern apartment. Unfortunately we were located above the ventilation for the laundry/technical room so not a minute day or night that didn't sound like we were next to a factory! We were in room 515 and really this room and the rooms above and below should be blocked off. Not only the constant noise but various smells, some nice....washing, some not so great.....school dinners! We did ask to move rooms immediately but only 2 rooms with small double beds were offered and we liked the large twin beds. Would definitely stay again but only if we could guarantee to be away from the ventilation system. The only other issue... we fancied eating dinner in the restaurant one evening. On arrival, we asked if there were vegetarian options as it's a buffet. The guy told us to go to the snack bar! Overall a great place for a holiday, just not in room 515!

Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Towels and bedding changed everyday. A bottle of water left in our room every day also tea and coffee. We only had breakfast but the selection was great cooked,continental, cereals, fruit coffee and juices. Staff were all very pleasant and happy to help. Pools were clean but cold Only down point was the distance to bars and restaurants Hotel is in a quiet part of Torremolinos so a bit of a walk. However right opposite a lovely beach Weather was good all the week apart from one day it rained Great holiday though.

Hotel was clean and cool. Helpful staff on reception. The pool was suitable for small families and the breakfast was great with a wide range of western food and Cava on free flow. Very close to the beach. Room had a few issues, ants, lots of them and the shower blocked up when using it, the shower also went from cold to hot continuously.
