“Some major changes seriously required”
We had difficulty communicating with the concierge . We felt they are totally out of date and almost 90% of the information given to us by then were wrong by giving us wrong timings for the places we ask for .. or for instance they gave us the price list of car rentals of 2010 which prices were totally different . The room service is very poor , We had to speak to the guest relations to translate to them our order because they have never got us the order we specifically asked for . By Taxi to puerto banus it is almost a 10 minute drive where other hotels are located in or next to puerto banus . The staff either have to be trained or changed , but the pool is not bad . Anyway i wouldnt recommend this hotel to a young couple !
“Best Hotel in Marbella”
The best way to describe the Melia Don Pepe in Marbella is the ultimate in costumer service. The facilities were beautiful and well maintain. Was a real pleasure and we enjoy out stay, and we are looking forward to return in the future, to me and my wife there in no other place to vacation in Marbella but EL Melia Don Pepe.
“Not what I would consider 5 star hotel,”
Hotel is dated, not as charming as it could be, and the hotel staff is uninformed about the area by giving wrong info. Stuffy reception staff acting like unionized employees.
“very good hotel”
was a good experience
“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!!
