I’m assuming you are already there so can’t rent a car at airport. Also not clear how long you are staying and not clear if you are looking for best option or cheapest. If you have restricted walking ability then you have two choices: taxi or bus. Taxi are inexpensive to local shops and short journeys to supermarket etc (try new Uber?). To Marbella or Puerto Banus I would suggest a bus which is about a 12 min walk from hotel to bus stop. Very inexpensive option but also avoids parking in Marbella which is an nightmare and expensive. Also if you speak Spanish and are staying for say 2 weeks you can get a direct phone number from most of the local taxies and do a deal with them to collect you when you call locally. The system only allows taxies licensed in Elveria to pick up in the Elveria area (ie: Marriott included) so often they are sitting in the rank for ages and happy to go direct.

Resort does not stock any grocery in the unit, there is is a small mall close to the A7 exit to Marriott Marbella Resort. there is supermarket in the mall and two Indian restaurants, Mr India and Masala, both serve halal and excellent food. Resort has a market too that can be used for urgent needs, but the prices are little higher than the super market. Enjoy the trip.

I have to tell you that driving around is NOT easy, they have a lot of round abouts with no street signs - unless it is a straight shot, it is so confusing, we actually drove around in circles and gave up and drove back to the hotel - take a taxi - a lot less stressful!!

I think the resort can arrange a tour with a touring company. It is a beautiful town. I elected to drive because the tour seemed too short. Next time I would consider an overnight stay because driving back down was challenging at dusk. (I would not want to do it at night.) It is a winding uphill drive - one lane in each direction. Reminds me of driving along California coast. On the way up you are next to the hill and on the way down you are next to the cliff as drivers, familiar with the road, are often "pushing" you to drive faster. (You must learn to ignore them or use the turn-outs to allow them to pass.) Note: beautiful views but you are driving!
