Don Carlos Marbella

We enjoyed our time at the hotel. The Rafa Nadal academy is amazing. Maggy was very helpful and booked my son in with the junior group. David was an excellent coach. We had a wonderful holiday. Staff very helpful and everything is done with a smile

Amazing Service ! Amazing hotel, amazing atmosphere, amazing breakfast, we will definitely be coming back i highly recommend this hotel ! Such a lovely get away for me and my husband which we thoroughly enjoyed especially the spa services.

My husband and I spent 4 nights at this lovely hotel...we didn't want to leave! Our suite in building 4 was beautiful and enormous. We had a really nice view of the ocean and the terrace was almost the same size as the room. Our suite was spotless (which is always my main concern). All staff was great and no request was too difficult. They even offered us free use of their Mini Cooper when our tour of Gibraltar was cancelled (due to weather). Breakfast was included and was the highlight of our day. The restaurant was beautiful and had a really nice view. I spent an hour there each day. Other positives: my husband took a tennis lesson at the Rafa Nadal tennis center and enjoyed it, the hotel sent me a huge bouquet of sunflowers on my birthday, the beach was a convenient 5 minute walk, and we went in the off season so things were quiet, which was nice. A few small suggestions for the hotel: our suite had just one trashcan in the bathroom, which wasn't too convenient. One in each room would be nice. I also suggest more vegan options for the room service menu (we ordered 3 out of our 4 nights there). I wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Don Carlos again!

I’ve been playing tennis in Marbella for many years, regularly visiting clubs like Puente Romano Beach Resort, Los Monteros Spa & Golf Resort, and especially the tennis club at Hotel Don Carlos especially now since it is part of the Rafa Nadal Academy. Don Carlos has always been my favorite club because of the quality of the courts, the reception staff and the coaches on court, they have always been excellent, friendly, professional, and welcoming. The atmosphere and quality of the facilities made it a pleasure to play here year after year. However, this year the management has been a real disappointment. Court pricing is completely inconsistent and chaotic, it looks a market where you play with the prices.... A few months ago I paid one price, the website shows a different one, the club gives another price when you arrive and Playtomic shows another... Prices seem to change constantly, like a market, and it’s impossible to understand what the real cost is. It’s a real shame, because the staff and the tennis experience itself are still great but the management and pricing system seriously damage what used to be the best tennis club experience in the area... I will have to think twice next time i will like to play

Great padel lesson with Enrique and Maggy was great making arrangements

Don Carlos has truly become a paradise on earth and not just for tennis lovers! I passed by last year while it was still under construction, and the transformation is amazing. With tennis courts, a gym, a pool, and other leisure activities, it’s now an incredible place to spend time. Given the weather, Maggie recommended that my girlfriend and I go to the gym, and we were very impressed with the facilities. The equipment was modern and well-maintained, the staff were courteous and professional, and Maggie was especially welcoming; she made our visit a truly great experience. Needless to say, we will definitely be back!

Super impressed with the new Don Carlos. Was looking forward to its opening and it was definitely worth the wait. So far, due to the weather, I was only able to try the check. Many thanks to Magda for advising me to try out the gym, she was very very friendly and knowledgeable on what equipment is available. The place gained a new member, thanks again!

Only three days on a short break to Marbella and was curious about the Don Carlos as i had friends stay there previously. The hotel was just renovated and was beautiful. We stayed in a Junior Suite with Sea View and while it was a little grey in January it was nice to wake up with a Sea View - not something every hotel offers in Mykonos. The gym equipment was state of the art and the pools heated which meant a little rain didnt worry us. The property had really spacious gardens that went directly down to the beach also. Would love to go back a little later in the year.

In the past we had lunch many times with our company at the terrace by the swimming pool. It was wonderfull. Now after the rénovation the put plants between the testaurant and the pool. .you don't see the sea, the trèes or the pool anymore. Hopefully the hôtel réalises that this is à big mistake and remove this wall of plants. ...the we and many others will come back. Thanks

Hotel Don Carlos is the best hotel in Marbella, Costa Del Sol. Great location, beautiful garden, a private beach, swimming pools, tennis sport club, and the best on-site spa. The property has a bar in small garden next to the lobby, a restaurant with an open terrace for breakfast and dinner service, and a poolside restaurant operating during daytime hours. An additional restaurant is scheduled to open in January-February 2026, with construction currently underway. The beach club is getting a makeover after this year's feedback! 🏖️ I saw the demolition start myself on December 1st, and the renovation is coming along impressively. We are coming to this hotel for many years and we are particularly impressed with the recent comprehensive renovation. The hotel now presents an even more aesthetically pleasing and inviting ambiance. All guest rooms have undergone a complete refurbishment, featuring a serene and contemporary design. The bathroom fixtures are of high quality and are complemented by an excellent selection of amenities. The breakfast area is exceptionally well-appointed, boasting an open terrace. The ambient music throughout the hotel is consistently smooth, easy-listening, and contributes significantly to a pleasant atmosphere. The food service is outstanding, offering a diverse and delicious culinary selection. The attentive and skilled waitstaff and chefs are adept at accommodating individual preferences and dietary requirements, including allergy awareness. The accommodations are remarkably quiet and impeccably clean. The fresh, pristine towels and crisp linens significantly enhance the comfort of our stay. We thoroughly enjoy our stays here; the atmosphere is remarkably pleasant and tranquil. Despite the proximity of the children's club to the pool, its thoughtful placement ensures minimal disruption, as children's activities are contained. We wish to commend the entire hotel staff for their exceptional professionalism and dedication. Every employee consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic and a commitment to guest satisfaction. We consistently feel a sense of belonging, and it is evident that all guests receive the same high level of attentive service. Our Big, Huge Thanks to everyone in Guest Experience Service, Reception and Concierge Teams, Porters, Waiters, chefs and all kitchen personnel, Housekeeping and Laundry Departments, SPA team, Pool staff, and to the management for all of their help, support, attention, kindness, professionalism, and care. 🙏💖😊 They all are the best! 🌟👍
