“25th wedding anniversary treat”

This was our second visit to the Don Pepe. We enjoyed it so much a couple of years ago that we decided to return this year for our 25th wedding anniversary. We certainly did not regret this decision. The location, facilitates and staff are fabulous. Our special requirements were attended to perfectly. The highlight was a special meal at the Calima restaurant on the night of our anniversary that will live long in the memory. We have no hesitation recommending this hotel and we will be back!

“5-day visit to Marbella”

We found Hotel Melia Don Pepe to be of very good standard, real 5-star and the staff very helpful and polite. Our room on the 6th floor was lovely with beautiful views of the hotel gardens and pools and the sea (to the front) and lovely montains (to the back). Breakfast was very good with a wide choice of hot and cold (continental) food; the staff were very helpful and the place was very clean. Hotel location was excellent with direct access to the seafront promenad via a private gate. Nearby restaurants: we found Da Bruno was excellent, but cannot recommend Carnecero or Santiago. Altogether we enjoyed our stay very much and would like to visit again in the future.

“One of the best hotels ive stayed in”

Fantastic stay, cant fault anything. We had a sea view room on the 5th floor with great views, and the breakfast buffet was amazing 10/10. Would have no problems going back.

“Very Impressed”

We had a wonderful holiday in late October at the Gran Melia Don Pepe. Our superior seaview room was very comfortable and clean. We didn't eat our evening meals at the hotel and some of the restaurents were closed it being close season. However, the location of the hotel on the southern end of Marbella's wonderful seafront meant that a huge choice of eating establishments were only a short walk away. The old town in Marbella was a real treat and we found different little streets with their shops, bars and restaurants every time we visited. Hotel pool and facilities were very good although the drinks were a little on the pricey side but the breakfast buffet and service were excellent. Would definately go again (particularly early / late season). No need to go half or full board.

“Gran Melia Don Pepe”

My partner and I have recently returned from a wonderful week at the Don Pepe. The hotel was lovely and the staff and service excellent. We would highly recommend this hotel and their Margaritas!!!!

“very good hotel, good location and service”

very good

“DON PEPE REVIEW”

We found staff to be friendly and polite.location was good seaside is on doorstep,supermarket 5 mins walk away. taxi drive to marina area not much could walk to old town but bit much if you have young child airport is just under an hour away less if go on toll road, would reccomend this coming and going.

“Best hotel stay ever!”

Excellent service from all staff - very welcoming and helpful and gracious. The hotel itself is beautiful. We stayed in winter and so probably a much different experience than had we stayed in summer as far as the amount of guests and hotel hecticness, but can't really say. We totally enjoyed the delicious hotel breakfasts. The close walking proximity of the hotel to the Marbella promenade and center of town. The staff helped us book tours and taxis when we wanted to venture out further. We really felt at home there. I can't say enough about this hotel. I give it an A++++. I would go again anytime!!

“Great hotel, Great location, not sure Marbella is the place for us.”

Hotel staff very pleasant, hotel very clean, but felt quite corporate but without personal flavour. Lovely pools and nice to have indoor facilities particularly if you go out of season. No real character to Marbella or hotel. Went to Nice last year and thought that had much more to offer, but we do lead quite a quiet life. Old part of town was nice, but pretty small, and the rest was lots of the same. Beach nice but not fantastic. Loads of places to eat and drink though, and a trip tp Puerto Banus, is interesting if you like to people watch and do some window shopping

“Nice to be pampered!”

This is a lovely hotel. It is only a few minutes walk from the main shops and bars and bext to the sea. The staff are very attentive and plentiful. There were nice touches like chocolates left on your bed every evening when the staff had come in to turn the beds back, and get your slippers ready. The buffet breakfast catered for every possible taste and was superb. I didnt eat in the restaurant but will try that next time. The pools were clean and there were plenty of sunloungers and parasols, which the staff get for you along with towels etc and then take your orders for poolside drinks. This is a 5 star rated hotel and deserves every bit of that, I would definately go again.
