Sol Marbella Estepona Atalaya Park

Returned this morning from a 6-night stay. On arrival during the early hours, we checked in and told our room number at reception, we had a family room No 415 on the 1st floor, for my wife and I and our son. We were somewhat shocked when we had to step over a guy who had clearly passed out drunk in the corridor leading to our room, so our first impression was not a good one, but it got worse. We found the room to be clean and tidy, however like much of this hotel, it is in despeate need of a major refurbishment. Its tired with cracked tiles and dirty walls throughout the hotel. The glass shower screen in our bathroom had no seal, so everythime we showered it flooded the bathroom floor. There was a continous stench of foul drains in the room and we had to leave the patio door open 24hrs, there was no lock on the patio door anyway, so from a security point of view it didnt matter. Our balcony looked down onto a flat roof which was being used as a dumping ground for lots of rubble. The most frustrating and annoying part of our time at this hotel however was not the poor condition, it was the large groups of middle aged men who still thought and acted like they were 18, on golfing holidays and did not think or consider that this is a family hotel, large groups of men drinking in and around the swimming pool, being extremely loud, frequantly swearing (F***ing this.. every other word) and one guy even going into extreme details of the different sexual positions that he had sex with someone the night before, all in close proximity of young children and familes was just appualling and made us feel embarressed to be British. A note for the hotel CEO, if you are a family orantated hotel as you advertise, i strongly recommend that you do not accept large 'all male' groups! Our flight home was very early AM today, so we packed up the night before and went to bed early, only to be woken up at 1.30am by the sound of a couple having sex in the room next door, the walls are very thin! The food (we only had breakfast here) was of a good standard with plenty of options to suit most, the dining room did become a little hectic and noisy most mornings, not a relaxing and enjoyable experience. To sum up, we shall not be returning or recommending this hotel, so please be aware if you are a young family that this is a 'boys partying away from home type of hotel' ...

Wery good Amira Maria Jose 🥰😍🤤

We had a lovely relaxing week at the Sol Marbella last week. The good bits: The staff were helpful & attentive. The food was extremely nice. Very good quality & choice. The restaurant staff were fabulous. The pools were lovely. Clean and not overcrowded. We could always get a sunbed. This hotel is in a good location however, we had a car and were able to travel around. I think you’d be stuck without one. The not so good bits: the whole hotel although clean & tidy could do with sprucing up a bit. The rooms were a little tired. Our aircon did not work properly and everyday we reported it. Everyday maintenance said they’d fixed it but it was not effective enough in 30 degrees heat. Cannot fault the staff though. They were very helpful.all in all a very enjoyable stay. Would be willing to try another Melia hotel in the future.

Room nice, staff and service nice, food ok,

Ok so the location is quite far out but buses can easily be picked up after a 10 min walk or uber. After reading some of the reviews we were abit worried but we are so glad we chose to decide for ourselves. Obviously there are things we could say wasn’t so great but I would be nit picking The staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The food is brilliant for a fully inclusive there is so much to choose from and it was always hot. The staff work so hard. If you want a holiday where you just want to relax and unwind this is perfect. Thanks for a wonderful stay xx
