Marbella

 
Description: Marbella is an upmarket city in Andalusia, Spain, by the Mediterranean, situated in the region of Málaga, beneath the ... more
Marbella ... Sierra Blanca. In 2000 the city had 98,823 inhabitants, in 2004, 116,234. Marbella is an important beach resort of the Costa del Sol. The town is famous for being a playground for the famous and super-rich. Marbella is internationally recognised as a favourite destination for extremely wealthy tourists from Northern Europe, in particular the UK and France and also to wealthy Arabs. The area around Marbella is particularly popular with those who like Golf. It is easy to reach other places, like Malaga and Algeciras, by bus. The area is also served by the A7 autovia, and the closest airport is at Malaga.

Newest Review: ... There are also many shopping complexes with well known designer boutiques. There isn't much you cannot find in Marbella. There are many little utility stores in side streets with very competitive prices. However along the beach walk way which seems to go on for miles you will be approached by tradesmen trying to sell you a bargain, with leather goods, watches, jewellery and DVD's; be ... more

 ... careful as some of these may not always be what they appear. There is a boat trip from the harbour which will take you to the wealthy Puerto Banus in about half an hour. It is well worth the trip with panoramic views of the town and surrounding mountains, wi...more

After my reviews on the airlines (Ryan-Air and Monarch) to and from Marbella. I just couldn't resist a review on this Spanish resort where my wife and I had a short visit and a wonderful time. We have experienced the trip by coach from Malaga airport to and from Marbella on a few previous visits, which I also rate as "OK once you are on your way." The coach trip can be quite an experience for people travelling with too much baggage with a free-for-all on the bus, as we have previously experienced; however the fare to and from Marbella on the bus is only 4.27 Euros each way, as taxi will set you back around 40-50 Euros each way. So if you ...  Read the complete review

Marbella: BAJA CALIDAD DE VIDA. (138 words)

Soy un ciudadano Marbelli, voy a intentar explicar como es la ciudad de Marbella en unas pocas palabras. Desde hace unos años, un nuevo alcalde (Jesus Gil), ha arruinado la ciudad de Marbella. En Marbella hay pocas cosas que hacer, la playa es peor y mas sucia que el resto de las de otras ciudades cercanas. La ciudad es cara en general, el alquiler de una vivienda o una habitacion de hotel resulta muy caro. Hay mucho trafico, y no hay aparcamientos suficientes. Hay muchos edificios feos en el centro, y pocas zonas verdes. Existen pocas sitios de interes para visitarlos, por no decir ninguno, y la gente es muy antipatica. Normalmente hay muchos ...  Read the complete review

I have just returned from three days in Marbella. As part of my job, I organised a trip for my company’s major customers, unfortunately that meant I have to go too….well someone had to! I will tell you about the hotel we stayed in and the places we visited. We stayed at the Don Carlos Beach Resort. This is one of the tallest hotels in the area and is quite spectacular. The lobby is very luxurious with lots of sofas and fabulous lighting etc. There is a concierge service and an excellent reception – they seemed to speak any language. Some of us stayed in rooms in the tower and others, including me in the main hotel which is three ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Slum it in Marbella? Impossible! (1085 words)

As a prize for being part of a winning sales team, my husband and I embarked a few days in the exclusive Club Marbella Complex. Oh yes. The playground of the rich and famous saw Mr & Mrs Salgirl descend to sample the delights that we're told by glossy magazines, usually escape the likes of me and you. After a pleasant flight and a bumpy coach journey down the scarily named "Death Highway", we arrived at the gates of the cool and sumptious Marbella Club. Looking every inch like paradise, the carefully manicured and pruned plants framed themselves professionally against the quietly expensive looking buildings. A quick look ...  Read the complete review
