Alanda Marbella Hotel & Wellness

We stayed here to attend a wedding in Marbella. Everything was excellent from the location, the facilities to staff. It was all brilliant. I had a mishap and left money behind me in the hotel room. I called the hotel and they said that the money had been found and handed in by the cleaning staff. The hotel were more than helpful to accommodate getting the money sent back. I was very happy to get all this sorted without much fuss. The staff must be commended for there honesty and how helpful they were. It's refreshing to see such honesty. It would've been very easy to just keep the money. Thanks to all the staff.

Excellent location and good facilities.

Staff member are not friendly. The hotel doesn’t sell alcohol and the breakfast has few options.

This hotel does not serve alcohol and halal meat only, the latter of which is not advertised anywhere. We booked through last minute.com and initially the no alcohol statement was not listed until later on. The staff were friendly enough and the coffee and breakfast is good, however this is still not the standard I would expect of a 5 star hotel. Parking is an additional 25 euros a day but there is lots of free parking around the hotel, again not something I’d expect of a 5 star hotel. There was no one round the pool all week and no music is played , which for us equalled no atmosphere and we went to the beach everyday. I am writing this review so others that book are fully aware of what the hotel offers as this was not made clear when we booked through booking.com. The rooms are clean and the breakfast was ok but we were very disappointed that last minute.com did not make their website clear of what the hotel offered. We paid a lot of money for this holiday expecting 5 star but unfortunately I felt we didn’t get what we paid for.
