It's been real pleasant, room service is great. The food at the Marinero is great as well. And the staff is really nice, especially front desk. Clothing was service, the mall is right next to this hotel, and great food all around, I will be coming back.
It was a very good experience being here. I went her for vacation and I recommend this hotel it’s right next to the ocean and it not expensive. I would go here because there are many local shops around the hotel. The staff were very nice and it was a good experience. 10/10
On Sundays you can order paella "para llevar (to take out)". The order will feed 6-8 people and is delicious. Bring your own container and save 30 pesos. The paella is prepared in the traditional method. It has generous portions of chicken, shrimp, clams, and crab.
Nice hotel, i had a room with a balcony overlooking the beach, the waves crashing on the shore could be a bit noisy for some. Restaurant was good with cheerful helpful staff.
Great restaurant in hotel. Plenty of other restaurants and convenience stores a short walk. Casual hotel, great location and staff. Nice pool. Directly on the beach but for my 5 days there surf was too dangerous to swim....but beautiful !
The hotel is a bit old but good to stay for a day or two. The hotel is sea facing, but you cannot swim due to undertow waves. The AC works only in on or off mode only, no temp control, so you have to wake up in night to switch it off.
We've been coming here for years. They've upgraded it and maintained it over the years, very good! It's located directly in front of the beach and nearby to many many restaurants, a casino, stores, cinema, etc. I feel they're not expensive, reasonable. The rooms were great. Beds, A/C, towels, bathroom everything very nice. We were on the second floor with a patio view of the beach. They also have a pool and their own restaurant which offers breakfast and it's always amazing to this day I love it!!! They also offer boat trips for extra of course we've done it before it's nice they take you out to see and it's very nice. You can get down at one point and swim. Everything about this place is great, can't complain. Although, if you're familiar with the area there are other hotels that offer free night shows to go to or maybe a dance club and also all inclusive meals with alcohol included. Regardless, this is a great place for the price we've enjoyed for many years.
This hotel! Hotel Marbella in Manzanillo is a hidden gem. The staff is amazing, very friendly and dedicated. The location is great, beach front pools, and restaurant. Walking distance to all amenities. Beautiful beach walks and delicious buffet breakfast, and fine dining at ‘El Marinero’ restaurant. I will definitely come back every time. I highly recommend Hotel Marbella.
Nice, low-key beachfront hotel Hotel Marbella is set right on the coast at the center of Manzanillo's beaches. Rooms are comfortable and clean, equipped with excellent beds and functional work areas. Bathrooms, too, are scrupulously clean. With that said, the place could do with a lick of paint and some tile work. The beach, though suitable for sunbathing, is too dangerous for swimming, due to its steep drop-off and strong undertow. With all this said, it's still a very pleasant hotel, overall, and the onsite restaurant is frankly excellent.
Very friendly staff, lovely swimming pools and location. The rooms are a bit basic but adequate and I he restaurant is good - we enjoyed the paella.
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this casual beachfront hotel is 3 km from the town of Manzanillo and 4 km from the sand and surf of Playa La Audiencia.
