Vincci Estrella del Mar - Marbella

Hotel was fabulous. rooms were spacious with good air conditioning. Views over sea were fab. plenty sunbeds around the pool which were superior to usual ones. As we were there for a wedding we had dresses and neither wardrobes had a long drop to hang them. this was the only fault we could find. Breakfast here was expensive but you could go to snack bar on the beach.

Great pool and rooms Close enough to marbella Beds were twin and made up as such had to ask twice before they were made as a double No pool side service Children were around the adult pool area

This was a good Hotel but in my opinion, not worthy of Five Stars. The Hotel itself is of good quality in terms of the standard of rooms, and with a decent pool area. Negatives include a 10 Euro per night car parking charge, resulting in most guests parking in the street for nothing. No poolside service, you have to get changed/cover-up and go to the buffet. The Fitness suite is very small and not at the standard you would expect of a Five Star Hotel. The main issue was dining. There is a buffet restaurant which is fine but serves similar lunch and dinner fare every day, a bit boring after two days. There is an a la carte restaurant but I've no idea what it is like as I couldn't get a reservation. Ive never been to a Five Star Hotel before that is unable/unwilling to accommodate guests within it's restaurants. Reading this back it looks quite negative, when in fact the Hotel was good but not exceptional.

Spent the first four nights of our honey moon here. Great time. Hotel is new and you can tell the service is a little behind its five star rating. Thats not to say the people working there are not friendly, they just seem a bit short staffed.

The hotel advertises its a 5 star but it doesnt seem like it. Its nice and all but nothing special. First, the beach is far...very far. A water view means you can see it in the distance; not that its actually on the water. It is also past the main attractions in Marbella. Not impressed at all.

Its a 5 star place and only been open for under a year. We got a cab to the hotel from the airport, very pricey at €70 but its only a 20 minute journey. we got there at 10pm and was given champers on arrival. The room was very big with a huge bathroom. We had a superior room. It had a nice balcony. We liked going down to the small bar on the beach and having an early lunch. The beach is 3 minutes walk and was lovely and not busy. There are a couple of other places to eat along there. we just liked this bar, as it was simple food and near the hotel. Drinks at the hotel were expensive to be honest. They only had one white wine which is not great. The pool are was amazing with 3 pools on different levels. Nice sun loungers and some were double beds. Even tho they had an outside bar, it was never open and the pool service was minimal. The view from the pool area was nice. The hotel is about 200 m from the sea. At night we got a taxi in to marbella for food. Taxi's can get pricy. As it is €20 each way. If I did it again I would hire a car. saves you a fortune. Places to go are: Da bruno (mentioned in another review), Orange square (lovely area for restaurants and local shops). I would go and stay at the hotel again, but would hire a car as the taxis ate up a lot of holiday cash. driving to and from town is a straight line literally, so its no hassel. staff were lovely.

enjoyed a 4 day break at estrella del mar at the beginning of may '09. the hotel initially opened last year and re-opened for this season in early april of this year. the rooms and bathrooms are first rate, bathrooms are especially good - separate bath, shower and w.c. the staff were particularly helpful well-mannered. good choice at the breakfast buffet with a chef on hand to prepare yours choice of eggs and stuff. the beach is only 150yds away and when the private beach club opens later this year, guests will have a difficult choice between the beach and the hotels four pools. due to other committments we didn't get the chance to sample the restaurant, but instead ate locally at the superb Beach House Cafe Bar and the equally good Hermosa Bistro in Cabopino. Overall an excellant choice and will definitely be back again.
