Reviews for Don Carlos Leisure Resort & Spa

The big mistake

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

In the past we had lunch many times with our company at the terrace by the swimming pool. It was wonderfull. Now after the rénovation the put plants between the testaurant and the pool. .you don't see the sea, the trèes or the pool anymore. Hopefully the hôtel réalises that this is à big mistake and remove this wall of plants. ...the we and many others will come back. Thanks

The best hotel in Marbella

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Hotel Don Carlos is the best hotel in Marbella, Costa Del Sol. Great location, beautiful garden, a private beach, swimming pools, tennis sport club, and the best on-site spa. The property has a bar in small garden next to the lobby, a restaurant with an open terrace for breakfast and dinner service, and a poolside restaurant operating during daytime hours. An additional restaurant is scheduled to open in January-February 2026, with construction currently underway. The beach club is getting a makeover after this year's feedback! 🏖️ I saw the demolition start myself on December 1st, and the renovation is coming along impressively. We are coming to this hotel for many years and we are particularly impressed with the recent comprehensive renovation. The hotel now presents an even more aesthetically pleasing and inviting ambiance. All guest rooms have undergone a complete refurbishment, featuring a serene and contemporary design. The bathroom fixtures are of high quality and are complemented by an excellent selection of amenities. The breakfast area is exceptionally well-appointed, boasting an open terrace. The ambient music throughout the hotel is consistently smooth, easy-listening, and contributes significantly to a pleasant atmosphere. The food service is outstanding, offering a diverse and delicious culinary selection. The attentive and skilled waitstaff and chefs are adept at accommodating individual preferences and dietary requirements, including allergy awareness. The accommodations are remarkably quiet and impeccably clean. The fresh, pristine towels and crisp linens significantly enhance the comfort of our stay. We thoroughly enjoy our stays here; the atmosphere is remarkably pleasant and tranquil. Despite the proximity of the children's club to the pool, its thoughtful placement ensures minimal disruption, as children's activities are contained. We wish to commend the entire hotel staff for their exceptional professionalism and dedication. Every employee consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic and a commitment to guest satisfaction. We consistently feel a sense of belonging, and it is evident that all guests receive the same high level of attentive service. Our Big, Huge Thanks to everyone in Guest Experience Service, Reception and Concierge Teams, Porters, Waiters, chefs and all kitchen personnel, Housekeeping and Laundry Departments, SPA team, Pool staff, and to the management for all of their help, support, attention, kindness, professionalism, and care. 🙏💖😊 They all are the best! 🌟👍

I attended an event at Hotel Don Carlos and the experience was excellent. The facilities were well maintained, the service was very professional, and everything was perfectly organized. Vanesa and Elias made us feel at home from the very first moment. Without a doubt, an ideal place for events in Marbella.
