Hotel berhampiran Lagoland Mountain Lake Center, Marbella

This hotel does a really good job of capturing the “Hard Rock” vibe so if you’re into that you’ll enjoy your stay at this property. Lots of memorabilia dotted around, great music and some lovely touches around the hotel. We stayed in a deluxe room which was small but furnished to a good standard with a very comfy bed. Bathroom was well equipped and the balcony was a decent size. Jukebox feature on the TV is excellent and allows you to get the party started before you go out or continue it after hours in your room. Having YouTube on the TV is handy too. The pools were good, there’s 2 pretty large ones and they look great during the day and night. The rooftop deck is quite chilled, it has a bar and an infinity pool with beds to suit everyone really, lots of variety so standard cushioned beds and lower body shaped beds. There are several “Bali beds” that come with a 150 Euro minimum spend. Sounds like alot but the food & drink isn’t cheap so can be done relatively easily if you plan to stay at the pool all day and have lunch. The pools are shallow but a good size and the infinity pool offers a brilliant view over the second pool area. The second pool area features a stage and DJ booth at the top of the pool and is louder. The pool parties that Hard Rock offer are held here during the day as well so bear that in mind when selecting your bed. There is an “Eden Cafe” in this area offering burgers and the like during the day and the main “Sessions” restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner too if you book half board. We booked bed & breakfast so didn’t eat dinner at the property. We did have lunch on our first afternoon at the Eden cafe and it was very good. The breakfast offers an excellent selection & its tasty. They also have a musicians playing a different instrument each day on the outdoor terrace which is a nice touch. The bar area in the lobby lacks atmosphere and is a little on the slow side to get a drink. The cocktails are good though and its worthwhile having a drink there, especially if a live band is on. Service at the hotel was very good overall and we very much enjoyed our stay. The bellhops in particular are excellent. They provided us with a “courtesy room” on checkout day (we had a late flight) which was a nice touch after having checked out already and been out all day. The location of the hotel was further out than we thought and required you to either walk through a large, unkept subway or walk down narrow busy roads with several hills. The subway route is best and takes around 15 mins to Porto Banus but is not ideal at night. We had no issues and saw no undesirables but I do think Hard Rock could do more to make that subway more inviting (clean it, add their branding, have music playing etc). I don’t think they own it but perhaps they should take ownership of how it looks at the very least as it could quite easily put some people off staying at the hotel. The “****** Marbella” is attached to the hotel. It’s a nice ****** but lacks atmosphere. You also need your passport to enter (I had to go back to the room) so bear that in mind too. There is a handy supermarket opposite the hotel that has a great selection of snacks, ice cream, toiletries, booze etc plus it’s really cheap. There’s a lovely little bar called “Park Lane Sports Bar” that is family run and really charming. The drinks are cheap and the people who run it are very friendly. The resident dog “Lolo” is also quite a character and really makes the bar. We also ate at a lovely little Spanish restaurant called “Noto” - the prawns, pizza and service was excellent. There are more luxurious hotels to stay in Marbella and hotels in nicer locations but for a party vibe, good food & drink, strong pool decks and friendly service the Hard Rock is a solid choice.

Emplacement ideal proche de toutes commodités, hôtel spacieux moderne, et les chambres sont très propres comme partout dans l’hôtel

This hotel is amazing as well as its location.a short walk to the golden mile and situated conveniently between peurto banus and Marbella. This is our 2nd visit and we weren’t disappointed! The pool area and gardens are lovely and you can always get a sun bed ☺️The rooms are stunning, modern and comfortable with large balconies. The staff can’t do enough for you, a special shout out to Xavier the hotel manager who made our stay so memorable and made us feel so welcome being returning guests (can’t believe he remembered us) will definitely go again next year and can’t recommend the whole experience enough!!

Fantastic hotel and truly deserves its rating. Central location super clean and staff wonderful. Ultra modern and rooms great size with the most comfy beds. Stayed bed and breakfast. Fantastic choice of foods. Booked with TUI and very well priced. Nice few extras like DJ one afternoon and great guitarist one night. Don’t read all that about the traffic as the windows are pretty sound proof. We had great four days in PB and we will be back thanks all

Todo perfecto ,recepciónista muy amable y servicial,para repetir

This is both on the main road near the old town are and short walk in from beach.So lots of transportation options and nice walk along the beach. It is a large lobby with shop, patio, bar and restaurant. My room was very large and the bathroom was huge. Great mattress. The TV program choices were great for Spanish speakers but almost nothing in English or French. No CNN, no BCC not Euro news. Good value and I would stay again.

My wife and I spent two nights at this hotel on September 1st and September 2nd. And our experience was way better than we expected. Among all the hotels in the area, this is one of the most affordable ones, and yet, they have the quality of service that most of the luxury hotels have. First, they have a parking lot, next to the hotel and it's pretty affordable per day. The hotel location is excellent, next to one of their main avenues and a few blocks away from the beach. Customer Service employees at the front desk were always nice and helpful, especially, Mr. Beltran. Regarding it's cleanliness, no complaint at all, the room was super clean and we enjoyed our stay.

This hotel was amazing and in a pefect location. Brand new place with all the comforts one needs. The rooms were clean with comfortable bedding, beautiful bathroom, wonderful rooftop, great breakfeast area with a variety to choose from. And to top this up the staff were so wonderful and helpful. Thank you so much Gabriele for your assistance in helping us getting around. This is a hotel I would come back to all the time. Thank you thank you

Third stay in 3 years. So consistent!! Hotel is clean, fresh, modern. Superb location. Staff are extremely pleasant, a lot of them have been here since we started coming 3 years ago. Always a good sign to see the same faces. Breckfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails always 10/10. I did see some people leave bad reviews about the pool beds and sun beds. Absolutely not my experience. The beds by the pool and beach are luxurious, comfortable etc. In high season I would imagine it is harder to find a bed that’s been everywhere I have ever stayed. The team walk through the pool and Beach, if beds are left unattended for more than 30 minutes they remove the towels. More than fair and that’s the best they can do. If you really want a bed come down after breckfast and there are plenty to choose from , if you come down in the afternoon of course it will be harder. Only comment I would make is over our 10 day stay there were occasions when the staff were extremely busy and looked under pressure. And maybe waited longer than normal but I think staffing is a worldwide issue and they are doing their best. Like I said earlier it was maybe twice we felt staff under pressure, and we ate here for 10 days so of course that will happen from time to time. Have already booked to come back 3 days in May, 11 next September. It’s so hard to beat.
