    The staff was very kind and responsive. Secure parking lot on the premises, which is incredibly valuable considering how difficult it is to park in Marbella. Across the street from the beach, literally 5 min walk. There is a fridge and microwave...

    Everything was excellent. Daily room cleaning, proximity to the widest and cleanest beach (about 5-7 minutes walk)

    Amazing and friendly staff! Great location, right across the street from the beach. Super cute rooms with a nice patio and great showers. Would definitely recommend.
