Amare Beach Hotel Marbella

What a disappointment. Overpriced with no class. I checked in with three other people - all offered cava - I was not. Perhaps they had a different status or whatever - fair enough - but at least offer B explanation why you are excluded. Wasn’t given my Wi-Fi password until I rang 5 times. Also avoid room 922 it’s flithy and the plug sockets are off the wall - I’ll send pics - I was asked how my stay was but but Young girl who evidently wasn’t trained was there so I just lest it

This is my 6th time to visit the Amare hotel in Marbella, it’s my favourite hotel, location is perfect, pool area is spotless and have the option of the beautiful beach club too. Breakfast has a fantastic selection, pool service for food and drinks is super efficient. Staff make the holiday special too as they are all so friendly. From dancers to singers and violin player by the pool too. Rooftop bar is amazing, rooms are top quality. I can keep going. See you in September Pam 🇮🇪

This was a fantastic stay in Marbella. The location is excellent right next to the old town, and only a ten minute taxi to puerto benus or puente Romano. The hotel was really nice and the room was lovely. The breakfast in the morning had a huge choice and great quality. The pool area wasn’t too busy we always found a space. I’d definitely recommend eating at the amare beach club too, a great spot to have lunch. The rooftop bar was a nice place to have a drink too. Overall, so happy with this hotel for a stay in Marbella.

Amàre Beach Hotel enjoys an excellent location within walking distance of Marbella Old Town, making it a great base for exploring the area. The rooms are spacious, and the beach and pool areas are attractive, although they can feel quite crowded during peak times. The breakfast offers a good variety and quality, but the overall service could be improved. Guests are assigned seating with little flexibility, and the staff appeared to be stretched thin. We also found the overall experience to be more expensive than the value it delivers. Our biggest disappointment was the air conditioning. We paid to upgrade from a partial sea view to a full sea view room, only to discover that the air conditioning was not working properly. Since there was no maintenance staff available that evening, we had to move back to our original room. Unfortunately, the air conditioning there was also not particularly effective. Maintenance checked it the next day but advised that it was operating normally and nothing further could be done. In the middle of the Spanish summer, effective air conditioning is not a luxury—it’s an expectation, especially at this price point. The hotel did try to make up for the inconvenience with complimentary rooftop drinks and a bottle of champagne, which was appreciated. However, as we don’t drink alcohol, those gestures didn’t address the actual issue. We also found it surprising that there was no evening maintenance coverage and that luggage assistance was not offered. Overall, we enjoyed our stay thanks to the location and the hotel’s amenities, but we believe the customer service and operational support could be improved. With better attention to guest comfort and service, this hotel would provide a much stronger value for the price.

Wonderful experience! This hotel is absolutely beautiful and offers incredible facilities. It is located in Marbella, close to all the entertainment, shops, and restaurants. One of the best features is that the hotel has direct access to the beach, allowing us to easily switch between the beach and the pool throughout the day. I also have to mention the amazing staff. They were always smiling, always ready to help, and always happy to have a friendly conversation. A special thanks to Hilario, who greeted us every morning, provided outstanding service, and made us feel like much more than just guests. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay!

We visited Amare in June, as two couples. We had just an amazing time. The rooms were beautiful, clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had. It had everything you could have wanted, and it was all really fresh and tasty. Drinks and food were great. We ate both at the beach and by the pool, where service was quick at both. Perfect location too, with just a short ten minute walk to the beautiful old town. All in all, I’d have no hesitation recommending the Amare hotel.

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.

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.

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.

Our stay at Amare Beach was a great experience from the moment we checked in. Throughout our stay the staff did everything they could to make us comfortable and welcome. The bars and restaurants serve a great variety of food and drink of high quality and at reasonable prices too. The rooms are exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable. The whole visit felt exclusive and luxurious. I was very pleased about the location too as it was a pleasant walk into old town and only a short taxi ride into Puerto Romano for more restaurants or to Puerto Banus for more shopping.

After exploring beachside options in Marbella, I was looking forward to staying in this hotel for its central location and beach club. I have now been attempting to book this hotel via phone all day. I was repeatedly transferred, put on hold or hung up on by various customer service agents. As these were international phone calls, I now have approximately $87 dollars worth of overage charges and still no room booked. I will now be choosing to book another hotel. For a hotel brand that markets itself as 5 star experience, I would expect top tier service from beginning phone call to check out and in my experience, this hotel has dropped the ball.

I have never stayed in such a small room had no wardrobe and no balcony it was tiny terrible Couldn’t guarantee getting a sunbed around the pool or on the beach there was a waiting list daily !! If you did manage get one you couldn’t leave it for more than half an hour to go and have lunch unless you was eating in the hotel We wanted to walk down the promenade and get a sandwich and come back but that wasn’t allowed For a 4 star hotel it was shocking wouldn’t recommend this place you at least expect a wardrobe and drawers in your room and be able to get a sunbed Would never go back

Just got back from another fantastic stay at this Hotel, it really is fantastic, this is the 5th time we have been back. This year was the first time we did the yoga on the beach on Thursday & Saturday morning. I woud really recommend it, what a great way to start the day! Our teacher was brilliant, she was very experienced and really helpful.

Gorgeous hotel - lovely ambience and spa - great facilities and location . Love this hotel
