Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella - Adults Recommended

Just back from a 7 day stay at Amare so wanted to give a comprehensive review. I’ll start with the positives The Roof top bar is fab, service was fast, little nibbles a nice touch and it gets the last of the evening sunshine, space is limited so get there early. There’s entertainment too which was enjoyable. The housekeeping throughout the hotel and for the rooms is impeccable and the staff very friendly. Beds really comfortable and no noise heard overnight so slept really well. Hotel Location is excellent right in the promenade and close to Marbella old town only. 5-10 minutes walk. Great products in the room and complementary razor, toothbrushes,toiletries etc Some really friendly staff, shout out to Sam who was a highlight and always smiling and helpful at the pool. There are sweets dotted throughout the hotel to help yourself to. The Breakfast is amazing, great buffet options, hot and cold breakfasts, fresh fruit was amazing and again staff were lovely. Being seated by someone on arrival means the fast arrival of coffee and fresh juice but does cause some long queues after about 830am as people queue to be seated for breakfast so get there early. Excellent choices for gluten free options in the buffet as well. Beautiful view from the balcony for breakfast if sitting outside, prime location to watch the towel wars on the sunbeds as people try to reserve before their breakfast! Some of the pool entertainment, like the musicians and violinist was really enjoyable. The dj out by the pool was a tad too loud if you’re trying to relax in the sun or read, it’s very much a party vibe if that’s what you’re after. Comfy sunbeds but be prepared to get up super early to snag one and then stay there as you can’t leave it unattended or be warned! Unfortunately the downsides outweigh all of the above so for this reason I wouldn’t return to Amare. The sunbed issue is trying to be managed with stickers when people leave a towel and go for breakfast however it also works against u when u are in the pool or jacuzzi, so don’t be any longer than 30mins lounging in the pool or jacuzzi or you’ll come back to find all your stuff removed even your clothes and flipflops, so a better system is needed. Large groups fair better than couples as they can rotate getting the early morning sunbeds and minding them as various people head off for breakfast and lunch. A lunch sign is only an option if you’re eating in Amare beach bar we were told but not if you’re popping to your room for a quick bite. Given we ate in the beach bar on half board every evening we didn’t want to have lunch there as well. The beach is fairly exposed with steep access and rocks into the water, calmer areas are located further up the beach area. Daily JCB’s working on the beach moving sand around was a bit annoying til 11am most mornings. Another issue was the smoking, you can smoke everywhere in Amare, at breakfast on the balcony and on the terrace areas, in the beach club restaurant inside and outside it, on sunbeds, in the bar and lounge areas. It really was excessive to have to breadth in second hand smoke everywhere u turn. The hotel should consider some smoking or smoke free areas especially for sunbathing and eating. Smoking wasn’t the only activity going on by the pool, some very large groups partying and were utilising other recreational items, with a few bags of stuff dropped around the seating areas which really changed the vibe in the pool area. There was a real mixed bag of clientele during our stay, some large groups seeking the Ibiza party vibe, some older guests relaxing. Lots of groups for hens, stags, golf, groups of friends for birthdays etc It did on occasion get a bit rowdy and argumentative at times around the pool after a day of drinking. large groups congregated and saved sunbeds for each other, so they took over large areas of space around the pool and jacuzzi and made it largely uncomfortable to battle through them to get into it. We were disappointed to find dinner was an al a carte option with a set menu only every night with no buffet option, limited changes were available even simple condiments didn’t appear to be offered, despite asking various people. There doesn’t appear to be any option to changes such as seeking garlic mayo or a pepper sauce or garlic butter for a steak as it wasn’t available, steak came plain, no sauce. While the menu had lots of options it lacked any ability to customise if u didn’t like a combination or needed to remove an ingredient for any reason. The evening restaurant wasn’t overly busy most nights yet service was extremely slow so be prepared to spend a few hours. The hotel are missing an opportunity to have a much higher half board clientele if they opened their breakfast buffet area at dinner time, the breakfast food quality and set up is amazing and so is the restaurant, terrace and balcony area so having an option to have dinner there would be a great option for half board guests. They say first impressions matter and unfortunately our first impression wasn’t good, arriving to a huge queue at reception despite already having checked in online. Once we did get to the desk we were told our room wasn’t ready so come back and queue again after 3pm. There was no mention of the welcome drink that was offered for online check in so we asked at the bar on -2 and were met with a very harassed lady who said she was too busy and would get someone else to scan a qr code. I wasn’t aware I had a QR code as nothing was said at reception so I went though my emails and there it was for scanning. A nice touch in reception would be to give people a welcome drink as they arrive, at least it creates a good impression while u stand and wait to get to the top of a queue. Check out was a similar queue and to be honest more staff are needed at reception at key times as standing in long queues doesn’t leave a good impression of a hotel. Reception staff weren’t that friendly, there was little communication on checkin and check out or if you passed by reception. The hotel art work on the lifts and dotted around wasn’t to my taste, nor even sure what the concept was. Cocktails and drinks were pricey with minimal alcohol in any of the cocktails we tried, they were mainly syrup and really sweet, for someone who doesn’t drink that often they had no effect at all so day 2 we started buying our own drinks at the supermarket and making our own in pool friendly cups, you’re better off sticking to beer or wine if buying at Amare at least you know what you’ll get. Overall the weeks experience was really disappointing, relaxation was our top priority on this holiday but unfortunately it was definitely lacking. If you’re after a party everyday it’s more for you.

La playa delante del hotel. Y las tumbonas muy cómodas y sin pagar. El bufet desayuno y la amabilidad del personal.

Demasiado caro. Tuvimos un problema en la habitación dos noches seguidas que nunca me había ocurrido en otros hoteles. He estado en hoteles mucho mejores y tal vez algo mejor de precio. Me esperaba más.

The amenities are in excellent condition. Its a very well maintained hotel. Staff are amazing and location is just what you need in Marbella

If you want to relax the hotel is ideal. However if you want more lively atmosphere with louder music or party crowd then this is not the hotel for you. The visitors are mostly from a specific age group which works perfectly for them.

I recently returned from a solo holiday (June 16-23) at Amàre, and I can honestly say it was exactly what I needed. Traveling alone can sometimes feel intimidating, but from the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed by the team. The location is perfect! Right on the beach and just a lovely stroll along the promenade or to Marbella's beautiful Old Town. Every morning started with breakfast overlooking the Sea (a stunning view), and many evenings ended with a fabulous drink at the rooftop bar or while listening to the waves from my 9th floor balcony (another stunning view). It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge. A special mention goes to the spa. I treated myself to a massage and one of the best facials I've ever had. The therapist truly had magical hands, and I left feeling completely relaxed. It was a real highlight of my stay. The service throughout the hotel was consistently warm and professional. Whether I was at the beach or by the pool, the wait staff were always friendly, attentive, and happy to stop for a chat. As a solo traveler, those small interactions make a HUGE difference and made me feel comfortable and included throughout my stay. The hotel also surprised me twice with complimentary bottles of sparkling wine, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made the holiday feel even more special!!! Finally, I have to thank Hilario at the Belvue Rooftop bar. He is an absolute asset to Amàre. His kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality made every visit a pleasure that I looked forward to. He has a wonderful ability to make guests feel seen and welcome. Those conversations and his exceptional service added something truly memorable to my stay. Thank you to everyone at Amàre Marbella for creating such a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. I returned home refreshed, recharged, and already looking forward to my next visit.

Wir reisen viel. Dieses Hotel hat es in unsere Top 10 geschafft. Das Hotel ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail geführt. Man kümmert sich um alles.

Da fällt uns nichts ein.

Nous étions déjà venus dans cet hôtel, il y a sept ans, nous avons retrouvé les belles prestations Un bemol => le petit dejeuner qui est toujours très bien, a perdu beaucoup en qualité et en prestation néanmoins

Retrouvez l’ancien petit déjeuner !!

Everything about this hotel is 5star without it being one.

We recently stayed at Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella from 9th to 16th June, and I can honestly say it was one of the most enjoyable hotel experiences we have had. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel's location is outstanding, situated right on the beachfront and only a short walk from Marbella's charming Old Town. Being able to enjoy the beach during the day and then stroll into the historic centre in the evening was a real highlight of our holiday. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the exceptional level of hospitality. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, professional and genuinely committed to ensuring guests had a memorable stay. A special mention must go to General Manager David Estilla and Diego at reception, both of whom provided outstanding customer service and made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. We were particularly impressed by the way the hotel went above and beyond to enhance our experience. Their commitment to guest satisfaction was evident in every interaction, and it is refreshing to find a hotel where management and staff genuinely care about their guests. The facilities, atmosphere and overall quality of the hotel were excellent. Everything was maintained to a very high standard, creating a relaxing and luxurious environment throughout our stay. One tip I would offer future guests is to consider booking directly through the hotel. During our stay, we discovered that direct bookings can come with excellent benefits, including discounts and additional perks that may not always be available through third-party travel providers. It's certainly something I would do when returning. Overall, Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella delivers the perfect combination of location, comfort and exceptional service. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our holiday and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Marbella. We are already looking forward to returning.

De locatie is perfect. Je kan lopend naar het moderne als het oude deel van de stad of zo de gezellige boulevard op. Het ontbijt heerlijk. Heel schoon. Personeel erg vriendelijk. De bedden prima. Elke dag fles water op de kamer. Het zwembad heerlijk.

De bedden bij het zwembad en het strand staan erg dicht op elkaar. Ondanks bordjes dat de handdoeken weggehaald zouden worden bij het bezet houden van de strand en zwembadbedden werd dit niet gedaan. Heel irritant dat mensen smorgen naar beneden rennen, handdoeken neerleggen en dan gaan ontbijten enz. Extra irritant omdat de boel redelijk snel vol is.
