“Don Carlos' refurb”
Don Carlos Marbella is an amazing great stay — an excellent refurbished hotel next to the Rafa Nadal tennis academy and Nikki Beach, a unique location with a gorgeous garden, included wellness and fitness facilities, a complete spa, newly-renovated rooms, discreet improvement works that caused no disturbance, tasty food, a fantastic breakfast buffet per one guest, and very attentive friendly staff who saw to every need. Caveats though: one guest found the breakfast buffet below five-star standard — very limited hot choices and poor-quality produce.
