"Excellent hotel in every respect."
Ideally located, excellent ambiance, comfortable rooms and public areas, attractive gardens, excellent food, very pleasing attitude and attention to detail by staff. Our second experience, would not hesitate in making future visits.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Review"
This hotel clearly was a 5 star in the past but the bloom is off the rose. It felt like going back in time to a 5 star hotel of the 60-70's. The rooms were relatively small, the bathrooms were even smaller. There were many fine touches, such as a glass of champagne on arrival, but it didn't make up for the overall unmet expectations. The staff was good. […] The hotel should be billed more as a 3-4 star hotel and should be cheaper. View and pool area were great. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Don Pepe only ok"
Not as nice as I expected for the amount of money but it had a great location.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Some major changes seriously required"
We had difficulty communicating with the concierge . We felt they are totally out of date and almost 90% of the information given to us by then were wrong by giving us wrong timings for the places we ask for .. or for instance they gave us the price list of car rentals of 2010 which prices were totally different . The room service is very poor , We […] had to speak to the guest relations to translate to them our order because they have never got us the order we specifically asked for . By Taxi to puerto banus it is almost a 10 minute drive where other hotels are located in or next to puerto banus . The staff either have to be trained or changed , but the pool is not bad . Anyway i wouldnt recommend this hotel to a young couple ! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Best Hotel in Marbella"
The best way to describe the Melia Don Pepe in Marbella is the ultimate in costumer service. The facilities were beautiful and well maintain. Was a real pleasure and we enjoy out stay, and we are looking forward to return in the future, to me and my wife there in no other place to vacation in Marbella but EL Melia Don Pepe.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not what I would consider 5 star hotel,"
Hotel is dated, not as charming as it could be, and the hotel staff is uninformed about the area by giving wrong info. Stuffy reception staff acting like unionized employees.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Winter break."
Staff were very friendly, great breakfast with loads of choice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Ideal hotel for couples."
We have stayed in this five star hotel many times, and always get a welcome back experience from all the staff. The service in the restaurants, lounges and bars is excellent. The reason for giving the room a 3 star rating is purely on the basis that the bathroom is very small and quite uncomfortable when two people are in it. The position of the hotel […] is perfect, and within walking distance of Marbella town centre. They have added a very nice restaurant on the front called Capuccinos, and it has excellent snacks and drinks. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel on the Golden Mile Marbella"
Great hotel, only small complant only one English Tv channel BBC World. Should have better Selection and movie channelGenuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel good for couples"
Staff worked very hard to provide us with a pleasant stay . We arrived 3 hours early for check in and the desk was busy but they still took the time to find us 2 rooms close to each other. Pool guys worked hard fetching cushions ,towels,parasols and moving sun beds for everyone. We had a sea view room with a balcony and felt it was very small . If the […] sofa bed was made up I doubt you could get past it to go on the balcony. The bathroom very nicely decorated but lacked space for my washbag which I had to keep on the floor. Agree with other reviews cooked breakfast should be kept hotter but there was a good selection of other foods to select from. Two supermarkets nearby if you want to buy some drinks to supplement the expensive drinks in the hotel and a nice walkway with plenty of restaurants along the seafront.

"Lovely hotel, 20 mins walk from old town Marbella"
This was a 3 night 'child free' treat, we had a deluxe sea view room on the 3 rd floor, which was lovely (large twin beds pushed together). There were clarins toiletries in the bathroom, and as a special treat, I called the hotel a few days earlier and pre booked the 'romantic package'. On arrival however the romantic package hadn't been fully implemented, […] just the Rose petals on the bed and around the bath, and bath crystals. I then had to spoil the surprise to my husband, by calling down to have the champagne and strawberries sent to the room, they came quickly, but still no candles, which I called down again for when we came in from dinner. This didn't spoil our stay at the hotel, it was lovely really. When I mentioned my 'disappointment' to reception the next day, it was really well handled, and I was offered free use of one of the Balinese beds by the pool for a day, worth over 100 euros, I couldn't use this, as we were out all the next day, so I asked for a late check out on our last day instead, and this was accommodated.The breakfast buffet here was superb, everything you could want, the pool area was nice and the pool attendants were great for sorting out umbrellas and beds wherever you wanted. We went out to eat on 2 evenings, however the 1 st night we had a light bite to eat at cappuccino beach bar/restaurant by the sea, which was very nice,quick service. There is plenty of shops/ places to eat either side of the hotel on the beach side, and it's 20mins to Marbella Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

No facilities for tea or coffee making in the rooms .mountain facing rooms are wast […] of time and money not even a balcony i didnt know if i will recommend it to a friend or not but the computer will not send this with out one!!

Clean, comfortable and excellent service. I would certainly recommend it to my friends and would happily come again on my next stay in Marbella.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Costa del sol in style"
The hotel has the best position in Marbella, within 25 min walking distance of the old town. Staff are very pleased to help and extremely friendly. Our only complaint would be that as the hotel was built in the 80s the size of the rooms and especially the bathrooms are small and need updating. Lastly be prepared for the hard timeshare sell. We arrived […] at breakfast on the 4th day having given them the slip 3 times already only to be asked, why in front of 6 other guests , we did not want their special timeshare tour. Were on holiday!

"Don Pepe Stay"
Lovely gardens and beach area and very spacious but room on small side with bath and toilet and bidet all too squeezed in , nearly all rooms with balconies facing sea. Expensive for size of room .Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel Gran Melia Don Pepe"
Excellent hotel with very good grounds and facilities. Breakfast and dinner superb. Menu for dinner should be changed more often. Rooms small but adequate and comfortable. For british visitors tv restricted to Sky (the better) and BBC World, not worth watching. Their should be 2-3 british entertainment programmes available. Staff all very good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"New Year in Marbella"
A lovely hotel in a great location. Very well kept and good facilities. The sea-view rooms are the best. We found the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much to ask. Breakfast time was veritable banquet, you name it they had it! It is a place more suited to couples and the general age range seemed to be 40+ but that might have just been the […] time of year. We didnt go the The New Years banquet as it was going to be a fairly reserved event and very expensive for what was on offer. Many places nearby were offering New Years Eve functions at a set price and well worth investigating. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Just as good as the pictures"
Had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Sea view room was truly amazing, also to be able to see the mountains from the room door was also phenomenal. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. I recommend the Breakfast buffet as it is one of the best i have ever seen with so many selections, ranging from spanish,english,french.. The location is great […] as you have easy access to the Beach and can take a nice stroll to Pueto Banus or The old Town. It takes 45 minutes from the airport to get to Marbella.

"25th wedding anniversary treat"
This was our second visit to the Don Pepe. We enjoyed it so much a couple of years ago that we decided to return this year for our 25th wedding anniversary. We certainly did not regret this decision. The location, facilitates and staff are fabulous. Our special requirements were attended to perfectly. The highlight was a special meal at the Calima […] restaurant on the night of our anniversary that will live long in the memory. We have no hesitation recommending this hotel and we will be back!

"good but not 5 star"
Overall a good hotel in a great location. However it is very expensive and not really good value for money. Rooms are small and bathrooms tiny. Some of the meals were poor quality.Furnishings are a bit tired and it needs a makeover.It is not 5 star standard more like a good 3 star plus.Genuine Expedia guest review
"DON PEPE REVIEW"
We found staff to be friendly and polite.location was good seaside is on doorstep,supermarket 5 mins walk away. taxi drive to marina area not much could walk to old town but bit much if you have young child airport is just under an hour away less if go on toll road, would reccomend this coming and going.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Gepflegtes Hotel der gehobenen Klasse"
Das Hotel bietet eine große Anlage, die sehr gepflegt ist und an die Strandpromenade grenzt (über Treppe). Die Angestellten sind sehr aufmerksam und hilfsbereit, sprechen allerdings teilweise nur rudimentär englisch. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Seeblick im sechsten Stock, das gut ausgestattet ist. Das Bad und besonders die Toilette sind allerdings recht […] eng. Die anderen Räumlichkeiten im Hotel wie Halle, Bar etc. sind sehr großzügig ausgelegt und ansprechend gestaltet. Die Musik in der Bar war zu laut, um sich noch gut unterhalten zu können; bei Live-Musik (Pianist) war eine Unterhaltung nicht mehr möglich, so dass einige Gäste dann die Bar verließen. Auch ein Ausweichen in die andere Bar brachte kaum mehr Ruhe. Die Preise für die Getränke waren grenzwertig. Das Frühstück ließ keine Wünsche offen, es waren auch immer ausreichend Kellner da, so dass der Service jederzeit gut funktionierte. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Face a la mer et en direct sur le paséo maritime"
Hotel de luxe international. Le plus, les attentions du personnel et le côté face à la mer dans la verdure. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et varie. Le moins, l ambiance internationale et l absence de bouiloire en chambre pour un hotel de cette catégorie. Mais au globaĺ, j y reviendrai par rapport à ce qui est proposé ailleurs à marbella.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Schönes, aber kein 5* Hotel"
Etwas heruntergekommenes Hotel. z.B. Liegestühle am Pool alt und zerrissen, Lehnen an Bar gebrochen, etc.) Freundlicher Service, gute Musik/Ambiance bei der Aussenbar. Frühstück reichhaltig und gut. Kein Strandzugang, Strandabschnitt beim Hotel steinig und ungünstig zum Baden. Liegestuhl am Meer muss extra bezahlt werden. Teure 10 EUR pro Liege auch […] wenn man Sie nur kurz braucht, kurz ein Abriss. Essen bei Dani Garcia teuer (140 Euro ohne freiwillige 2 Zusatzgänge) und wurde nicht kommunziert. Ferner hatte man keine Auswahl, man musste das vorgeschlagene Menu nehmen. Dani Garcie war anwesend und kam nur seinen bekannten Gästen die Hände schütteln. Eine doppelte Enttäuschung. Für uns ein Flop, den sog "Gourmet" Tempel können wir überhaupt nicht empfehlen Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

hotel extrémement bien situé. Cet hotel dispose de toutes les qualités et services que l'on attend d'un 5 étoiles+ accueil sympathique. La restauration est néanmoins chére. Il est préférable de manger à l'extérieur, les proches environs ne manquent pas de restaurants.Genuine Expedia guest review

Sicher hat das Don Pepe schon bessere Zeiten erlebt, aber der Zustand für ein 5 Sterne GL ist fast noch vertretbar. Excellenter Service. Sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal. Zimmer fein und nett. Der Ausblick vom Balkon Über das Mittelmeer bis zur Küste Nordafrikas ist speziell bei Sonnenuntergang unvergeßlich. Der private Park mit Pool ist einfach […] sehr gepflegt und Klasse mit direkter Anbindung zum Strand. Das Ftrühstücksbuffet ist unschlagbar. Selbst Suchi wird angeboten.
