Alanda Hotel Marbella

Weekend away celebrating a friends birthday. The staff were very helpful. Lovely clean room overlooking the pool (albeit it was closed). Great buffet breakfast served in the main building. Spa & parking charged extra!! As the hotel is classed as a ‘wellness’ hotel no alcohol is served!! Initially we struggled to find restaurants close by except NOBO but later found the next door ‘Forum’ had a host of eateries! Also enjoyed lunch at a beach restaurant that was close by. We relied on taxis & buses to get into Marbella. Could do with some bikes for clients use

We stayed off peak at this hotel in December 2024. Nowhere on the website or anywhere else does it say that the outdoor pool is closed. In addition from the website, it looked like there was an indoor pool. It was part of the spa and tiny. I don’t recommend staying here off peak season due to the lack of the pool facilities. We were also asked to pay to use the Indoor pool attached to the spa at the rate of 25 euros per adult for a 2 hour session and children could go in free. We were never told and neither is it advertised that there is a charge to use the indoor pool. Because of the lack of facilities such as the pool and the children being disappointed, we decided to hire a car and travel to Cordoba and Granada and explore the region whilst there. That wasn’t the plan but we didn’t have a choice due to the children being bored and not doing anything.

We stayed 10 nights at this 5-stars hotel. Beautiful facades, pool and garden. Good room-service, polite employees. BUT hard bed, hard pillows, noisy AC at night. Barking dog outside every morning and at bedtime. Breakfast room with low ceiling night, crowded and noisy, more like a 3 stars. No change in food options during our stay. The on-site restaurant was not uplifting. We chose to dine at the nearby tennis club. BUT WORST, the internet. Extremely low speed and the net off and on all the time. Not better in the reception area. Don’t stay in this hotel if you are in need of a fast and reliable internet. Pool opened as late as 10am. Not heated. To get a pre-breakfast swim, we had to find an alternative way into the pool area, enforcing a locked gate. Next time we will choose the 4-stars Flag hotel in nearby Estepona. Same pricing but lot more value for monies.

It’s the best in Marbella, and the best in the world, in terms of quality, location and extra ordinary services. Mr.Khaldon did a great a Job. I have been here for many times, great atmosphere, the spa looks soo elegant, and nice people there.

Nice hotel, catering for the moslem travelers. Unfortunately the breakfast not up to standard. Reception staff, an staff on site, very helpful. Rooms were fair.,rooms needs an grade. I think this hotel needs more staff, as there are to few to help out
