Very welcoming hotel on the beach in Marbella, but also close to the town. Staff there were very helpful, most spoke excellent English, and if they didn't they would always find someone who could. The hotel Director was often seen about and always spoke to you. Very comfortable sea facing room, lots of space and, rarely, tea/coffee making facilities provided.... More

We stayed for 4 nights in January for a winter break (20c in Marbella vs 10c in the UK!). The Fuerta is really well located - literally 2 mins from hotel room to the promenade and beach, right next to a number of restaurants and a short distance from the central park and old town. We paid c£100 per night,... More

I stayed with family of 5 including 2 grandchildren. We had 2 junior suites on the first floor. Wonderful sea views! Hotel exceeded our expectations. Having stayed in a well known 5 star hotel in Marbella, we found the location of the El Fuerte second to none. Access to the lovely promenade and stones throw from the beautiful old town.... More

We had a very good internet room rate and were still upgraded to a side sea view room in the old part of the hotel. Breakfast is a comprehensive buffet including a chef... More

This was our second stay in this hotel. Our first stay had resulted in the hotel very generously and fairly giving us a free 3 night stay, as there had been some building work in the hotel that we hadnt been informed about that did slightly mar our stay! During our first stay we had a partial seaview room...which is... More

Stayed here in early December. Really impressed on arrival at the hotel after parking in the underground car park. Check-in was efficient and the glass of Cava on arrival was a good touch. Staff were attentive throughout our visit. On the evening we headed out for a drink and food and the entrance at the bottom of the swimming pool... More
