Costa del Sol Occidental Spa Hotels

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.

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

Brilliant holiday, ideal for winter getaways, indoor pool and jacuzzi. The hotel staff especially Reben were so friendly and helpful. The minor issue was fixed within 10 minutes of reporting to reception. Like the what's app to keep us informed

Excellent room, super comfortable beds, and the sofa bed was quite spacious for two people. The staff, especially the guy who checked us in (I think his name was Adrián), was lovely; he was very helpful and friendly.

Very new campsite. They are still finishing up some decoration and other things. Very comfortable for families with children. Everything is very new and clean.

Went for a holiday and happy with the stay. The hotel is located in a nice area, with clean room and facilities. Plenty of space to relax during the day,  Local area is convenient, with Carrefour in walking distance and a lot of restaurants. Though the restaurants near the beach are overrated and I would not recommend. Food in the hotel was good, with great value and flexibility. I could just turn up for a dinner and pay at the entrance without any prior booking or notice. I liked it. Parking was very easy - just navigate to the hotel and you will see the entrance at the front door of the hotel. There is no way you would miss it. It cost 10 EUR a day. However, do prepare for the mosquitos as there are plenty. I had to buy repellent and sprays in Carrefour to deal with the issue. And we had to shut the balcony during the dawn and night and decided not to use the balcony. The hotel should provide the basic facility for the mosquitos repellent, such as an electric repellent heater. 

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!

Pleasant hotel! It's away from the noise of the bars, and only 30 seconds to the sea from the pool area, so the location is excellent. The hotel has a large pool area with clean water. The room is a bit dated, to be fair, but everything is clean and functional. The breakfast was good too; not many fancy options, but all the basics are there. It's not quite the four-star experience you might expect, but it's a perfectly nice hotel! We had wonderful days here and would definitely come back again.

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.

I’m usually staying at Ritual hotel when in Torremolinos and always had a great experience… No this time when I didn’t see staff members at the reception being more flexible in order to satisfy customers request and experience. When I made the reservation, specifying a strong preference for a room not located to the ground floor, upon arrival and check-in I was informed but the front desk that my assigned room was on the ground floor, directly contradicting the preference I had clearly stated in the booking notes. I immediately raised the issue to the hotel staff reminding them of my prior request and I was told that the hotel was fully booked and not other rooms were available. I strongly believe that my request could have been accommodated if they would have taken in consideration my enquiry during the room assessment … the clearly didn’t have mindset of customer centricity which was very disappointing.
