Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá

We like this hotel a lot and we stayed there this autumn with family to celebrate a special occasion. We were unlucky with the weather as it rained heavily for some of the time. Nevertheless the hotel has lovely facilities and we always enjoy Marbella. There is a spa (we didn't use it), an indoor pool and a gym. The grounds and the large outdoor pool are beautiful and perfect for relaxation with plenty of sunbeds which you can enjoy by the pool or on the grass or opposite the sea. There is a very large pleasant lounge indoors and lounge areas outside. Breakfast is excellent. We ate one evening in the Erre restaurant where we struggled a bit to please the different dietary requirements of each of us but the staff did their best to help. I also ate with my husband in Tahini, the Sushi restaurant which has gorgeous ambience at night with a sea view but is definitely not a cheap option. Cappucino, a promenade cafe accessed by a steep stairs from inside the hotel grounds is also an eating option though we think it is very overpriced. The location of the hotel is excellent, beside the sea and a twenty minute walk along the promenade to Orange Square. We love staying here and hope to return and our family with one teenager and two children of 9 and 11 loved it too.

Absolutely every member of staff was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the week we stayed which is the first time I can say that about any hotel that we have spent a family holiday in. From the moment we walked into the hotel to the point that we left the staff were very polite.

Beautiful hotel in an ideal location. Just a well oiled machine - breakfast is amazing, rooms are amazing, staff are so nice and helpful. It’s pricey but all those small touches of class add up.

Lovely property. Wonderful staff. Very clean

Everything. We stayed for a week in February - family of three with a three year old. Very family friendly hotel with lots of activities to keep kids entertained - great indoor pool. And great entertainment provided by Dani in the kids hut - pizza making, cake decorating, movie night, crafts (painting hats, T-shirts, fans) and lots of sporting equipment. Amazing breakfast - very friendly breakfast staff, particularly Angel. Comfy rooms - good amenities. Red Lounge worth the upgrade - good selection of food and drinks and lovely sun terrace. Perfect location - right on the beach front. 15 min walk to Old Town. Easy access to bus stops if you don’t have a car - only €1.18 to travel to PB. Overall, amazing stay.
