Don Carlos Leisure Resort & Spa

My husband and I spent 4 nights at this lovely hotel...we didn't want to leave! Our suite in building 4 was beautiful and enormous. We had a really nice view of the ocean and the terrace was almost the same size as the room. Our suite was spotless (which is always my main concern). All staff was great and no request was too difficult. They even offered us free use of their Mini Cooper when our tour of Gibraltar was cancelled (due to weather). Breakfast was included and was the highlight of our day. The restaurant was beautiful and had a really nice view. I spent an hour there each day. Other positives: my husband took a tennis lesson at the Rafa Nadal tennis center and enjoyed it, the hotel sent me a huge bouquet of sunflowers on my birthday, the beach was a convenient 5 minute walk, and we went in the off season so things were quiet, which was nice. A few small suggestions for the hotel: our suite had just one trashcan in the bathroom, which wasn't too convenient. One in each room would be nice. I also suggest more vegan options for the room service menu (we ordered 3 out of our 4 nights there). I wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Don Carlos again!

I’ve been playing tennis in Marbella for many years, regularly visiting clubs like Puente Romano Beach Resort, Los Monteros Spa & Golf Resort, and especially the tennis club at Hotel Don Carlos especially now since it is part of the Rafa Nadal Academy. Don Carlos has always been my favorite club because of the quality of the courts, the reception staff and the coaches on court, they have always been excellent, friendly, professional, and welcoming. The atmosphere and quality of the facilities made it a pleasure to play here year after year. However, this year the management has been a real disappointment. Court pricing is completely inconsistent and chaotic, it looks a market where you play with the prices.... A few months ago I paid one price, the website shows a different one, the club gives another price when you arrive and Playtomic shows another... Prices seem to change constantly, like a market, and it’s impossible to understand what the real cost is. It’s a real shame, because the staff and the tennis experience itself are still great but the management and pricing system seriously damage what used to be the best tennis club experience in the area... I will have to think twice next time i will like to play

Great padel lesson with Enrique and Maggy was great making arrangements

Don Carlos has truly become a paradise on earth and not just for tennis lovers! I passed by last year while it was still under construction, and the transformation is amazing. With tennis courts, a gym, a pool, and other leisure activities, it’s now an incredible place to spend time. Given the weather, Maggie recommended that my girlfriend and I go to the gym, and we were very impressed with the facilities. The equipment was modern and well-maintained, the staff were courteous and professional, and Maggie was especially welcoming; she made our visit a truly great experience. Needless to say, we will definitely be back!

Super impressed with the new Don Carlos. Was looking forward to its opening and it was definitely worth the wait. So far, due to the weather, I was only able to try the check. Many thanks to Magda for advising me to try out the gym, she was very very friendly and knowledgeable on what equipment is available. The place gained a new member, thanks again!
