We completed our 15th visit with a 10 day holiday in November which says a great deal about how we feel about the hotel and Marbella in general. The hotel is a magnificent building set in a lovely location directly on the promenade but close to the Old Town with all its interesting features. It is spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished with very large public rooms. Quality entertainment is provided in the large bar area on some evenings and for those that want them activities are organised on some days each week. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the form of buffets with extensive varieties of food to suit all tastes supplemented by a dedicated chef providing freshly cooked eggs at breakfast and fish and meat at dinner. The staff are very friendly particularly in the bar and dining room.An indoor and an outdoor swimming pool and a substantial garden with dozens of sunbeds contribute to an excellent hoidy

We just spent a wonderful time at the Hotel Fuerte Marbella. A lovely warm indoor swimming-pool. A very nice botanical garden. Everything was perfect. The service was very good. When we asked a bathmat for our room, we immediately got it.

I have stopped at this hotel many times, most recently last week leaving on 28 October 2013. The reception staff are most helpful and obliging. The restaurant staff are friendly and helpful and the food is great, both buffet breakfasts and evening meals. It is the best location in marbella bar none, on the beach and close to the old town restaurants. Very close to 5 star quality but amazing value. Looking forward to next visit

We have visited the Fuerte Hotel, Marbella on several occasions in recent years and find it an excellent establishment. The rooms are tasteful and well furnished and excellent in décor. The pool and garden areas are well kept and scenic and overlooking the beach. One of the main features of the hotel is the excellent restaurant both for breakfast and dinner. The hotel is well situated where you can access the beach, old town and bus stations easily on foot. There is an excellent indoor swimming pool and there are also computing facilities readily at hand. There is security exit to and from the beach.

Loved, loved, loved Hotel Fuerte! It is located on the beach with direct access. The hotel grounds are beautiful with an outside lap pool and luxury pool. Plenty of lounge chairs with great views of the ocean. The staff are friendly, helpful and speak several languages. The location is perfect. Located along a long boardwalk full of restaurantes and shops and direct access to the beach. A 5 min walk to old town. Hotel is well kept with nightly entertainment and great food! I highly recommend this hotel for a long vacation and weekend getaway.

We have just returned from a great break at this hotel. From the moment we arrived to a very friendly welcome from the lady at reception our sea facing room was everything we had expected and the standard of décor and cleanliness was excellent. Every member of staff spoke and acknowledged you in passing and the buffet style breakfast was of a very standard with the option to sit inside our out in the sunshine. There were more than enough sunbeds at the pool area and access to the beach by a security operated gate. The food and drink prices were very competitive with restaurant and bar prices in Marbella which resulted in the hotel bar and function area being busy in the evening accompanied by evening entertainment. My wife and I will be returning to this hotel in the future as we have stayed in many hotels in Costa Del Sol and this is undoubtedly the best

I have just spent a week at Fuerte Marbella and whilst I was expecting a good service, it really exceeded my expectations in all areas.the professionalism and courtesy of the staff and the exceptionally high quality and variety of food offered are worthy of special mention. I would recommend this hotel and would really like to stay in another Hotel Fuerte in the future.

Fantastico. Céntrico y en costa, el viejo sabor de los hoteles tradicionales y amplitud y modernidad. Tiene espacios para leer o tomar el sol, una copa o un baño. El Mar enorme delante. Marbella a la espalda para pasear... todo a la mano!!

My wife and I have stayed at the Fuerte on a number of occasions. The high standards of comfort and care that brought us back the first time have been maintained. We had a first-rate break and will return. And this despite unusually inclement weather.

Entspannende Atmosphäre, sehr gute Küche, perfekter Service. Sehr zu empfehlen! Ich werde mit Sicherheit wiederkommen um mich noch einmal verwöhnen zu lassen. Sehr gut ist auch die Lage direkt an der Promenade Marbellas.

The Fuerte Hotel has the best loation in Marbella --- it´s a luxury hotel with talking to everything in the town of Marbella. The rooms are comfortable, with the sight and the sound of the Med. The breakfast is fabulous, with everything, and at night the spacious bar has great food and music. We go to the Fuerte every year and love it.

Estuvimos un par de días por un congreso y nos encantó la profesionalidad y cordialidad del staff del hotel, su amplia habitación con vistas al mar, la limpieza, sus instalaciones y su buena ubicación a pie de playa y muy cercano al centro de Marbella,, además muy español. Muy interesante el museo construido sobre el antiguo fuerte sobre la historia del hotel. Probablemente volvamos por ocio.

La estancia en el Hotel Fuerte Marbella fue muy satisfactoria y agradable, en un ambiente tranquilo. El hotel se encuentra céntrico y es grande a la vez que acogedor, en primera línea de playa y con bonitas vistas al mar. La habitación amplia, limpia y muy confortable en la que tuvieron en cuenta lo indicado al hacer la reserva. Muy buen trato en todo momento por parte del personal que nos atendió, cercano y muy amable el cual resolvió satisfactoriamente todas las consultas que le hicimos; cabe destacar el servicio de habitaciones: atento, rápido, eficaz y siempre teniendo en cuenta lo solicitado. Tal y como lo esperábamos o incluso mejor. Muy recomendable.

A very nice hotel in a great location, with friendly staff... The hotel is right on the promenade so if you want to stroll along the beachfront it is great. Alternatively, go in the other direction and within 30 seconds you are in the shopping area, so location is excellent. The rooms are very clean and the restaraunt is clean with good food and a great buffet breakfast. The chef will make you fresh omelettes or pancakes etc and their is plenty of fresh fruit etc to choose from if you dont want hot food.

Having taken a party of 30 to the El Fuerte Mojaca from the Dames In Spain Mojacar, it was lovelly to stay in a Hotel with such high standards. The only comments I had from my party were, when can we come again and can we stay longer. The Food was exceptional and the entertainment in the evenings was of a very high standard. The rooms were again to a very high standard. Well done to all the staff at the El Fuerte Marbella for making our trip so enjoyable.

This was our second visit to the Fuerte Marbella. We paid in full ( non refundable ) when we made the reservation on 21 September but when we checked in on 14 November the reception staff told us there was no room available for us until the next day. They asked to stay at the Hotel Senator ( 2 Km out of town ) for one night and to check in again at the Fuerte Marbella the next day . The reasons given for the non availability of rooms at Fuerte Marbella were that half of the hotel had recently been closed for renovation and some guests had not checked out due to a General Strike that day in Spain . We were very upset that our reservation contract was not honoured and we complained about the inconvenience and the wasted time involved in having to switch hotels for one night . The Head of Reception was sympathetic and responded by promising us a complementary dinner and lunch as compensation for the distress and disruption to our plans . In addition ,when we checked in the next day, she upgraded us to a superior room for the remainder of our stay. Things can go wrong in any business and what really matters to the client is how they are put right. The Head of Reception understood this and acted honourably by arranging for us to receive fair compensation. This enhanced our stay and her actions have raised our opinion of the Fuerte Marbella. We thank her for the way she handled the situation and for the goodwill gestures given to us . We hope to return to the Fuerte Marbella next year when the renovations are finished .

Acudi al Hotel a un congreso. La sala de congresos perfecta con los medios audiovisuales necesarios y que funcionaron perfectamente. A destacar la amabilidad de todo su personal, desde la recepcion , a cualquier empleado incluidos los del maravillosos gimnasio con que cuenta el Hotel, gimnasio que muchos clubs quisieran tener (20 bicis de spining, 5 cintas para correr y un sinfin de aparatos de musculacion). El gimnasio cuanta con salida al paseo maritimo y un restaurante donde por un modico precio se puede comer "limpio" tras una estupenda jornada de gim. Estupenda piscina al aire libre con cobertura acristalada, con 4-5 calles y 18 metros de largo, que sirve para bracear y quitarse el gusanillo. Las habitaciones acojedoras sin ser recargadas, limpias y funcionales. Ademas perfectamente ubicado en el centro de Marbella para poder callejear y comprar llevando en un salto las compras al hotel. Muy recomendable, volveré.
I went to the hotel for a conference. The perfect conference room with audiovisual equipment and it worked perfectly. To highlight the friendliness of all the staff, from the reception, including any employee of wonderful gym available to the Hotel, gym many clubs would like to have (20 spinning bikes, 5 treadmills and a lot of fitness equipment ). The gym output whatever with the promenade and a restaurant for a small fee you can eat "clean" after a great day of gim. Great outdoor pool with glass cover, with 4-5 streets and 18 feet long, used to brace and remove the bug. Rooms acojedoras without being reloaded, clean and functional. Also perfectly located in the center of Marbella to stroll and shop carrying a shopping break at the hotel. Highly recommended, again.
