AluaSun Marbella Park

I read conflicting reviews about the hotel. I was anxious before arrival. I needn't have worried. I think it is amazing. The staff are so nice. The food is great. The entertainment is very very good. All the entertainment staff are so talented. The pools and slides are for all ages and excellent. I personally loved that the hotel attracted a lot of Spanish people. To hear the natives voices was lovely. The Spanish guests were so nice. There are still other nationalities there though. I would definitely book again. I am a seasoned traveller for over 40 years. Trust me?

It's a nice place for young families. We live in the area, so the place has some family history for us and we have come back a few times. The room, vibes, staff, food all good, at a three star level. The main issue, which is really just silly and really defeats the whole purpose is even if you are all inclusive, they want a cash deposit for pool towels, and cash deposit for cheap plastic drink cups. So for a family of 2, you must have 22 euros in cash as a deposit to get water/soda cups and to get started swimming. I've lived here a while, so I'm used to the beurocracy of the area, but surely they can build the cost of pool towels and cheap plastic cups into the rates so we don't waste two hours running to an ATM, getting change (their machine is broken) and waiting in reception lines all day? Also, beware the slides appear to be frequently painted, so your swim suit will have paint stains on it after repeated times down the slide. Blue swimsuit " green butt after going down the yellow slide a few times. It's 2025.

recently stayed at AluaSun Marbella Park and, unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The accommodation feels dated and could definitely use some updating. The pool area is often overcrowded, making it hard to relax. One major downside is their drink token policy — each person is only given one token, and you cannot get a drink without it. If you forget your token, you’re simply out of luck, which is quite frustrating. The location is fairly isolated, although Nikki Beach nearby is a nice spot to visit. Another letdown was the room itself — there was no tea, coffee, or kettle provided, which felt quite basic. We arrived late and, despite our delayed flight, were not even given a complimentary bottle of water in the room; instead, they asked us to pay for it. The restaurant was crowded and chaotic, almost like a cattle market, which made dining an unpleasant experience. The food was very standard and rather boring. Overall, the hotel felt more like a 2-star than what you’d expect in this region. I would not choose to stay here again.
