Marriott's Playa Andaluza

The room size, the hotel facilities, the activities for kids

Nothimg

Breakfast was very good. Staff was exceptionally helpful and kind. The flat and complex were amazingly beautiful. Overall a great experience. Would come again.

The mattress were a bit hard and the pillows a bit too soft for my preference. The beach was nice, but a bit rocky making it hard to enjoy the water.

good location .

sunbeds were new but not comfortable.It is sold as a vacation club - yet not all guests were vacation club owners - clearly you can book on booking.com and other web agencies. This makes a difference to the people staying here and their attitude to the facilities .

Its cleanliness and pools are very good.

Location, most of restaurants were on opposite side of a dual carriage way with very poor pavements especially with push chair. No shade on kids playground pool bar very expensive.

Beautiful location right on the beach with many family-friendly activities. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Large, well spaced apartments with everything you need for your stay. Fantastic facilities for kids of all ages, including our teen girls. Volleyball, mini golf and padel court were a huge hit. Group volleyball sessions were organised by leisure staff for adults and kids, really well coordinated. All facilities are situated in lovely, manicured gardens. On site shop is open 24 hours with reasonable selection though is pricey. There is also an Aldi within 10min walk.

Not many good restaurants within walking distance but would recommend Everest Fusion restaurant. 3 beautiful outdoor pools, including one set up for ball sports but sadly not heated so too cold to enjoy in late October.

Friendly Staff. Everything was clean. Kids loved it.

Access into the sea from the beach very difficult and unpleasant

Everything about the Marriott itself is excellent, you really can’t fault it at all…. There are some really nice restaurants reasonably close though in the main you need transport to get to them so a car is desirable. Taxis are easily available if required. There are some lovely places to visit but Whilst it is on a main bus route to major towns eg Estepona, Puerto Banus, Marbella., you’d need your own car or to take a taxi to get to the more out of the way places.

The resort doesn’t seem to offer many tours or escorted trips which I think is a shame tjough they do have lots of suggestions of visits and am sure they would point you to other your companies etc.

Location is good. Nice place to stay with family and children. Good options with the outdoor pools for the kids and even for the little ones. If the weather is bad or a bit cold, you can enjoy the indoor pool or jacuzzi baths, saunas. Marbella city is quite near by if you want to have more action or entertainment.

The Beach of the hotel itself is poor. Part sand and another part rocks. So if you would like to go for a swim, you should put on shoes that would be more convenient to get into the sea, because of the rocks. As well the beach could be more cleaned and taken care of.

Nice kingsize bed. Very Helpful and friendly staff. Great sauna area with heated pool inside where you can swim with your little ones all year long. There is a great padel course also.

People (owners) constantly smoking in the balcony. Some kitchen appliances were old and worn out.

The apartment was spacious, clean, and well equipped. The facilities are excellent.

This is just like any other marriot resort you'll find in the US. It's not in a great spot for exploring any interesting areas and the beach is sub par.

Canned resort feel. I've "been" to this same resort in Palm Desert and Arizona in US.

+ Amazing room, large and quiet+ Big territory, a lot of things to do+ Friendly and flexible staff

- Poor dinner choices inside the hotel

Very nice reception service, thank you Laura! Very clean, spacious, comfortable apartments. Good hotel/apartment combination! Wonderful view.

Pool was soooo cold-a heated pool would make this place so much better. Marketing lady was a little “agressive”.

Super Staff, pools, plants, comfort, apartments, facilities

Only problem was delay during check in early hours. Would have been nice to swim @ beach.

Very large and nice room. Nice pools. Great reception staff

The beach is very bad. Not taken care off. Stones on the shore line, making it impossible for kids to get in and grown ups struggle too. There is almost no one in the sea. The pool bar is overprices. EUR 20 for a bad margarita pizza is too much. If it would be nice, then would be ok

Room was ok and the kids play areas were ok as well

Not a nice beach, very poor looking sun beds on the beach, swimming pool area looked like a 2 star hotel, to order food by the pool you need to queue instead of ordering it and getting it delivered to you and the swimming pool area was very poor that we didn’t spend a single day at the hotel. Very disappointing for a 4 star hotel.

Pools

Beach right by the sour system. Not possible to swim. Staff for check in spent 15 min typing a novel on the computer, with guest just sitting there waiting. Then they cancel the card room key after 2 days. We go back to the reception, and another 30 min waiting for them to type on the computer all kind of information. They call the manager, call each other and it goes on and on. Finally, they give another set of room card keys. Totally unprofessional. Restaurant is overpriced. Snacks at lunch are overpriced, given in plastic cutlery and plastic plates. Very bad for the environment. For that price, Marriott could at least provide steel cutlery and regular plates. Pretty disappointing.

Staff excellent. Properties modern and clean. BBQ area very good. Food in Restaurant good. Shop on site good

Not enough Mattresses on the Beach Beds. Hated the Wooden Knives and Forks in the Pool Bar. Try eating an excellent Chicken Caesar Salad with them, impossible.

The apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything you need. The pools are wonderful, the food in the restaurant, delicious! The access to the beach was perfect. We also used the BBQ grill and had a picnic lunch with friend which was so lovely (there is even a fresh herb garden that you're free to use) There is so much for young people to do, endless activities. Perfect get away.

Nothing at all - we loved our stay.
