Hard Rock Hotel Marbella

Stayed here for 3 nights. Great sunshine by poolside, and away from snow back home. What else could you want 😁 Find some of the negative reviews confusing as I've experienced nothing but positivity. Room was clean and nice. Staff were all welcoming and nice. Always greet you with a smile. Poolside was nice and clean, bar staff attentive, lifeguards helpful and nice. For what we paid for hotel (bed & breakfast) flights and transfer package? We wouldve been more expensive for a basic hotel (room only) stay in UK. Food was a good spread with various options. Can't complain! Got a great full body massage from Nieves at 20% discount. As spa was partly closed for refurb. CR7 great waiter in Eden bar. Always helpful, fun and chatty.

Hard Rock Hotel Marbella delivers a lively, stylish stay in an excellent location — close to the marina promenade, the casino and about a 20‑minute walk along the beach (note: signage to the promenade could be clearer). The hotel’s vibrant, quirky personality is evident from arrival. Check‑in was smooth and courteous; the staff were polite and professional. Room keys issued as wearable wristbands are an innovative, convenient touch. The bell attendant was knowledgeable and efficient, making arrivals and departures effortless. The lobby is a highlight: a genuine celebration of music history with fashion pieces and instruments tied to stars such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Billy Idol and Beyoncé. A tuned grand piano sits ready with a friendly “please play me” sign — a warm, unpretentious invitation compared with the usual “do not touch.” Near the entrance there’s a drum kit, and staff actively encourage guests to join in the playful atmosphere (I spotted someone try it at 8am with the response, “This is the Hard Rock Hotel.”). Breakfast is generous and well presented, with a wide buffet of hot and cold options to suit different tastes. The hotel’s location is convenient for exploring the marina and beach; be aware there’s a subway under a flyover on the right when approaching the area. In short, Hard Rock Hotel Marbella pairs strong service and modern conveniences with immersive rock‑and‑roll theming. It’s ideal for guests who want personality, music culture and a fun, social vibe alongside professional hospitality.

We had such an amazing experience thanks to the incredible service around the pool from CR7! 🌟 His prompt and impeccable service with drinks was outstanding, and he was always happy to answer any questions we had about the hotel. You can really see how hard he works—he never stops, always engaging with guests, and helping in every way he can. Truly one of the hardest working and friendliest people we met during our stay. WE LOVE YOU, CR7!!! 😜💯

The hotel it’s completely not worth it. The room it’s pretty normal, the hotel itself doesn’t have nothing special. Breakfast have quantity but definitely not quality. Staff it’s quite normal. I would recommend another place to stay for a better price and same or even better experience.

CR7 is an outstanding member of the team around the pool and bar. He is incredibly hardworking and a true credit to the hotel. Always welcoming and friendly, he goes above and beyond to make sure guests are well looked after. His service is consistently prompt, and drinks are always served quickly with a smile. CR7 really helps create a fantastic experience around the pool, his dedication never goes unnoticed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
