Magna Marbella ESPANHA

Really nice time in Club med Marbella. The hotel is stunning with amazing view. I was in de luxe room and really worst it as it is big and great size of balcony. Room are big and really new which is great compared to other club med. I was there during low season then was really good in term of service but might be a bit too crowded in the summer. My son of 6 years old really enjoyed the mini club. There were above and behond to do such nice activities. Huge thanks to Plume Lea and Arthur who make a memorable week for my son. For me the bigger downside was the spa. I arrived on saturday exhausted and went straight to the spa and they had no avaibility before tuesday when the club was empty not what you expect out of season. Food was quite good but i saw better variety in other club med that i could not find in marbella. Would definitively come back but again on the low season.

The welcome and information at check in was bright, brief and relevant. Super actually and we were in our room in 10 minutes despite our early arrival. The resort comprises a big hotel ( a surprise to us) and various sporting arenas on the grounds. There are a number of smallish pools which would get a bit tight at the height of summer I imagine.

We arrived in bad weather so that put a dampener on things as it were particular our walking possibilities, which are many, once you navigate the very busy roads of Marbella to reach the prom via the old town. Took us about 30 hair raising
minutes to walk down.
There are hill walks just behind the hotel too. The room was lovely and modern and kept very clean. The separate loo had no ventilation and was a bit stale smelling. Also a towel in that loo would have been appreciated.

The hotel was at low capacity and it appeared the GOs were being bedded in for the season under the omnipresent Arturo, who was fantastic. Whilst there were plenty of GOs knocking about wait staff were thin on the ground. They worked hard and were both efficient and pleasant but at most meals and in the bar it was a struggle to source drinks.

On the drinks the wine was nice as were the spritzes but the cocktails were poor.

The food was mixed with breakfast poor of choice and quality. Lunch very good and dinner good. We went to the speciality restaurant and had mixed success. Starters were ok, fish was very good but the duck was dire. The meal was quickly and pleasantly served but it did not feel special.

We did some activities which were fine.

We have been to many club meds and on price ( its expensive) quality ratio it does not match up with others in Portugal, Turkey and Morocco particularly . Again to repeat the weather was poor during our visit and this would certainly have affected our perception to some degree.

A very happy place to spend a week, even wet weather could not dampen the spirits of the team. It has something for everyone. We will definitely go back.

Our vacation at Club Med Magna Marbella was simply perfect. The attentive staff made us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay. We enjoyed the resort's excellent facilities and the charm of Marbella, with its picturesque old town and beautiful beaches. The surrounding area offered plenty of attractions to explore, such as Puerto Banús and La Concha. The resort's gourmet dining options and entertainment activities added to the experience, making it unforgettable. Whether relaxing by the pool or discovering Marbella's vibrant culture, every moment was a delight. We can't wait to return!
