Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá

Open spaces, large territory, close to the sea and promenade Comfortable rooms

I’m my opinion over priced

I live in NYC but have now traveled to Marbella 4 times just to stay at the Melia Don Pepe. Our last visit we stayed on the red level and it made the vacation even more special. I especially enjoyed the breakfast on red level where our every need was catered to. The huge and beautiful swimming pool is absolutely magnificent and unmatched by any other hotel I have been to around the world. The setting of the hotel with its endless views of the Mediterranean Sea is also spectacular but what truly elevates the Don Pepe into the highest stratosphere of hotels is the attention paid to guests to make them feel special and their every need taken care of under the direction of the charming and talented Abel Lopez. He seems to be everywhere in the hotel at the same time and always making sure that everyone is happy. I am very excited for the renovation of the hotel that is to start this fall, although I am not sure what I will do during the 12 months it is closed! I am sure the Don Pepe will be even more spectacular after it is done but my one caveat to the Melia executives is to keep the pool exactly as it is! All the guest that I have spoken to love how big the pool is!

Our stay at Don Pepe was a top experience! It was the second time and once again everything was perfect! We will definitely come back for a third, fourth time, and many more! The staff is super friendly, you ask for something and everything is arranged for you. Beautiful and clean rooms, the food is exceptionally delicious, and the staff thoroughly explains the menu. Super tasty wines. It is very quiet there with a beautiful view of the sea. The location is top, quiet yet close to the city. A taxi and reservations at beautiful places are also arranged for you. Special thanks to Andrea, a very sweet and super professional manager. Thank you to the entire team at Don Pepe! You made us enjoy our stay immensely! See you next year.

Serene, exclusive and every other compliment to the hotel and more importantly the staff, don’t know where they have got this great team from, gardeners, housekeeper, front of house etc, but they are all exemplar and made the stay that good we extended. The hotel is old but with classic character, I understand closing in OCT for a huge refurb? Points to include that need addressing. Lift sizes, poor hot (not hot actually cold) choice at breakfast, room sizes aren’t brilliant. Red Level isn’t worth it! Other than that we will be back ASAP- Excellent stay.

Great hotel, great food, very warm and friendly staff. Good location in the city, convenient for walking. If you are interested, you can easily get to nearby attractions - Ronda, Gibraltar, even Morocco.

The staff are very friendly, location is good and the pool

I like everything really

Excellent breakfast with a variety of different foods. Room was spotless and well appointed with everything that you would need and the location was stunning.

I wouldn't have changed a thing.
