Iberostar Marbella Coral Beach

Great hotel, ideal location for 10 min walk to Puerto Banus, and 5 min by taxi to Marbella. Staff amazing, so friendly and helpful. Housekeeping of a high standard and rooms spacious. Wide variety of food in buffet which again is of a high standard. Definitely all the boxes you need for a great holiday

Booked to stay here for 8 nights with Jet2.com, being regular travellers to Marbella usually staying at the Fuerte thought we’d try somewhere different and were impressed with the reviews & images online... however... it does not meet the high standards of the Fuerte or expectations set by reviews/images! Positive is that the rooms are modern & spacious but it took us about 4 attempts to settle in 1 - the “side sea view” is minimal so not at all worth the extra >£200 we paid for it (most rooms seem to have it so sure some that haven’t paid must end up with 1)! Then we had to change rooms to other side after being awoken by some very unsavoury noisy neighbours on day 2 who, at 5am thought it ok to have the loudest conversations & repeatedly open & shut doors - to be fair the female manager who sorted this out for us was very understanding & helpful. There is nothing around the hotel, you have to get taxis everywhere (yes there is an Aldi over a very busy road but who wants to feel like they’re doing their weekly shop when on holiday?!). The pool(s) are both tiny and cleanliness, maintenance & service around them poor. Limited atmosphere (yes the bars look nice in images but no one ever in them on an evening - not even staff!) but can get quite noisy in the daytime at the pool with the big groups that are allowed. Found the staff (management & porter aside) generally unfriendly, hit & miss whether anyone to meet & seat you at breakfast. Sorry we chose it & will be back at the Fuerte/Amare group next time for sure!!

My husband and I spent a week at this hotel recently and it was a lovely relaxing break. Very clean with bedding changed daily. Breakfast is exceptional. Very relaxing surroundings and staff excellent. Only one criticism is that pool bar played music from around 7.00am which was a little annoying and could have been left until after 9.00 am as people like a lie in on holiday!!

Our stay was altogether perfect.The accomodation is very beautiful. The rooms are spacious and craftily designed. Everything is very clean. The location is only minutes from the beach. The beach is pretty stony though, so you might want to bring some water shoes if you have sensible feet. You can easily reach Puerto Banus by feet and there are some nice beach bars nearby. There is also a bus station in front of the hotel. The food is delicious! One of the best buffet-style hotel food that I had. The absolute highlight though is the staff! They are so friendly and helpful and you can feel the positive athmosphere in the hotel! They make you feel very special on your holiday. We loved our stay, thank you very much!

This place besides being on the beach, besides, having excellent amenities has a try amazing staff!!! I have had the luxury to stay at some reaaly cool and swank places before but sometimes you want old world charm and character and thks place does not disappoint!!! The best part of a vacation or get away is the memories qnd experiences! I can say from the front deskz to rhe chefs, to the restaurant front of rhe house, all rhe way to housekeeping made..efeel like an extention of their family!!!! It was a genuine warm feeling of visiting family you have not seen in years and getting a big hug with love and eagerness and getting you fed and fat because.you look too skinny! That has.been my impression on my first nifht here in Iberostar Coral Beach in Marbella! When you are here, you truly are family. I have yet to feel as comfortable in another hotel! Kudos to this.hotel and I will definitely come back and send others!!!

We have just returned from Coral Beach and this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The hotel is so clean and the staff were amazing especially Isabel & Jesus, they were brilliant with our son. I would definitely recommend staying in a room with a shared private pool you have the benefit of stepping of your balcony straight Into the pool and access to extremely comfortable sun beds this really made our holiday. We went All inclusive and the food was superb, plenty of choice and freshly cooked in front of you. The location was perfect, we walked daily into Puerto Banus to soak up the atmosphere and then into Marbella in the evening which was lovely too. Plenty of bars and restaurants. The only one criticism would be the cost of the sun beds at the sea Soul Beach Club - being All inclusive it would have been nice to have these included however it was still a stunning place to soak up the sun. Thank you for an amazing holiday we will definitely be coming back next year

Just coming to the end of our week here - it’s a stunning hotel - the rooms are bright, modern and airy and everywhere is immaculately clean. The pool is relaxed, plenty of space for sunbathing in both sun & shade, with shade provided by the beautiful palm trees that waft in the wind. Lovely breeze some days off the sea is a welcome relief. We were Bed &Breakfast - there is so much choice and the food is high quality. Plenty to fill you up for the day ahead. Aldi supermarket is right opposite the hotel, so we stocked the fridge in our room with ham, cheese, butter, salad, water, apple juice lager and white wine! Then in the evenings we sampled the AMA in local restaurants - there’s a bus ever 20 mins from outside the hotel to either Puerto Banus (1 mile away) or Marbella (3 miles away). Most evenings we walked to PB and back and ate at restaurants overlooking the sea. Lots of beach club bars on way to/from Marbella if you fancy breaking up the 3 mile walk. Overall, if you’re looking for a relaxing stay in a beautiful location with so many restaurants- this is perfect 💕

Just came back from a wonderful holiday in Marbella at the Coral Beach. Apparently the building was recently refurbished, which made it all look clean and modern. Rooms are very spacious and there is a wide choice of food, price quality worth it. The staff in the hotel strives a service which makes you feel like at home, special mention to Carmen and her attention to my husband and i and our baby girl, she is real credit to the hotel. We would definetely be back in our next visit to Marbella. Keep on with the work! See you soon!

Arrived 20th August for a week, b&b. Welcome and check in was pleasant and lovely welcome drink too. We took advantage of the room upgrade offered to us (at a reasonable charge). Me and husband was celebrating our wedding anniversary whilst on holiday so prior i requested a bottle of fizz for a surprise which we got a complimentary beautiful bottle of cava. We also received a complimentary spa day for the 3 if us (2 adults and my daughter). Room was beautiful overlooking the pool, very spacious, we had a junior suite (224). Breakfast was lovely plenty to choose from. Busy period was about 10am, as finished at 10.30 am, (we liked a lie in), but always got table. Staff were helpful nothing was a problem. Pool wasn't busy and always found sunbeds to say it was school holidays, and not lots of children present. Seasoul was fabulous, at €15.00 pp, was ok but hotel pool was just as nice at no cost. Hotel food and drinks quite pricey, but I guess it's the area, as close to Puerto Banus. But you get want you pay for. Would definitely come back, thanks to all the staff for a welcoming, friendly, and fabulous stay, you made our family holiday.
