The pool / beach deck are beautiful and buffet breakfast was well presented and extensive. The rooms, whilst adequately furnished, do not live up to either the pictures (which is perfectly understandable as I obviously didn't see every room) or description ie. The TV's are old and not the lcd TV's described in the hotels brochure, there was no WiFi access and the air con was inefficient at best |

Excellent hotel with friendly staff, excellent facilities, superb beach and pool, good rooms and nice atmosphere. Perfect for a family with (or without) children. The approach was not easy since the hotel is well hidden and signalling is poor. |

The hotel was extremely comfortable and welcoming. The facilities were very good. The lunch and evening meals were very good. The only thing I did not like was the hot breakfast |

I loved loved location I loved pool area and the decking area down towards the sea Rooms were lovely I was at a Wedding so I did not have time to go to spa but would again I thought it was brilliant for a wedding Food was superb I thought the coffee and tea making should be out front and you could get them when you wanted it at breakfast You would need a car, It was hard to get a taxi |

Hotel facilities very nice. Room was very spacious with lovely balcony & view amazing over golf course & sea. Very quiet & away from the hustle bustle of Marbella. Very difficult to find...we got lost several times trying to find the hotel due to construction on the highway...by the 4th day we got it down pat!!! Gps cannot find hotel. It is hidden in a maze of intertwining streets...the small hotel signs were our only saviour once we found the community!!! It was worth the drive though...We would have enjoyed a drink by the pool...no apparent pool service so we brought our own. |

We really enjoyed our stay at the Guadalmina and found the staff very friendly and courteous unlike the reports we had read in Trip Advisor online. We loved being so near the beach and ate at the Beach bar which was excellent.Looking forward to spending a city break there soon. We found the hotel extremely difficult to find. We felt that the sings to the hotel were completely inadequate and spoke to other guests who had a similar problem. Wouldn't like to have been approaching it at night time. |

The setting and facilities were great. The rooms were comfortable and there was a nice feeling about the whole complex. The wait staff were appallingly rude and ignorant to guests. We were booked in for a wedding with well over 80 attendants and not one of our party had a good thing to say about the staff. They were slow, disintereted and I would go as far as say deliberately rude. I asked for a lunch menu one day and the waiter threw it on the table at me and walked off. I would not recommend the hotel for this reason, it is simply not acceptable for this rating of hotel and was a huge negative during our stay. |

I really liked the the fact it was on the beach. the pool area was great and overall a fantastic hotel. We were attending our daughters wedding there and we were very happy with it. We found it difficult to find the hotel due to road works. many of our party including my family found the the staff were not very friendly especially the staff at the reception. |

Hi-quality spacious comfortable room with great air conditioning. Fast WiFi in lobby. Mature atmosphere, few screaming kids. WiFi was too weak to function in bedroom. Dinner was expensive compared to other local restaurants. An ironing board in the room would have been useful. |

Pool area is great. Beach is wide but water is not particularly inviting - a bit dirty. Rooms are very big (but did not come with the promised sea views). The claim of sea views from every room is a rort. We saw several rooms and they all had sea glimpse around building and over roofs etc; not one had a true sea view The staff we not at all helpful. |

The pool and the setting is nice and the room was very good and spacious. Found the staff unfriendly and unhelpful and the service slow. Overpriced for the overall experience. |

I enjoyed the pool facilities and the room was very adequate. Cleaning staff were very professional and also left the room very tiday and clean. The hotel was very realxed and would be ideal for relaxation and for children. I was concerned about the quality of the food in relation to the price. I do not mind paying high prices for good food. The afternoon menu, let the hotel down. Also, as the customer, I had to request service; whereas I believe the staff should be more pro-active. |

The size and cleanliness of the rooms.It was all non-smoking inside the buildings which was very good for Spain. The Spa staff and treatments were a real joy. The room was well appointed. The food was quite good but could have been served hotter. and all the main meals in the restaurant were priced virtually the same- no matter what the content was. No xmas decorations up at all in any of the buildings during our stay and this was only 9 days to Xmas. Lost their festive spirit?? The prices of the mini-bar drinks was rediculous. |

If you are a golf player who doesn't matter too much about the quality of the hotel you stay in this is the place to go; great courses nearby. Kitchen for dinner is ok Mediocrity is the standard in this hotel. Staff is friendly but the hotel is in desperate need of renovation and proper management! With kids you are at the wrong place here. Even the beach is dirty! |
