Book Cheap Hotels in Marbella

First, it is not in the best place. Our second day there, a person was robbed in front of the hotel and the robber jumped into the ocean to get away - never to resurface alive. We witnessed the Police boat pull his body from the water from our 11th floor balcony. Not a very reassuring feeling from that point on. Second, and more personally, the Hotel tried to extort money out of us for a soiled towel, that in fact was not soiled! Let me explain. The day before we had attended the beach for a day and our towels were not thoroughly dried for our trip to the mud volcano an hour away. So we took along a hotel towel. After we had washed off the mud in the nearby lagoon, we simply toweled off. Unbeknownst to us, there was a tad bit of mud still under our arms and it got onto the edge of the towel. When we went to check out, the front desk clerk told us that we had to pay 60,000,000 COP for a hotel towel that we ruined. My partner was quick to pay the random charge when I told him that if we are paying, I want to see and have the towel. Because I know mud comes out in the wash. After about 20 minutes of the clerk calling and receiving a call. She informed us that we did not have to pay because the stain came out. Thinking back, I began to ponder the incident. What if we did pay without requesting proof? Why wasn't their homework done before accusing us of damaging hotel property? Were they trying to scam us? It isn't out of the question when you see how people operate!

Liked that it was so close to airport yet had things nearby. found the grocery store which was great. Quiet and safe. Room was small but clean and comfortable.

The staff was very nice and helpful, but hardly anyone could speak English. Well kept property and all rooms have a view of the sea.
