AluaSun Marbella Park

I had prepared for my dissatisfaction by reading reviews - read them… a lot are accurate. The rooms are clean and modern, however there is some tired elements. Cracked and chipped floor tiles, marked walls. We had stained towels and bedding. But the cleaners did a good job. Facilities are good, the pool is great for kids and the lifeguards are great. The pool and beds get really busy, so you do need to Que at 10am to get a sun lounger. I feel the pool is a little small for the size and amount of guests but it’s perfectly fine. The entertainment team are really good, better than the external shows they get in. Would be great if there were more group sports/ activities available but the team are great. Kids club staff are lovely too. Now, the food…. I often ate out as there is no variety, one or two different dishes all night. Not very warm unless it’s a fresh tray. There is fresh pizza which is very nice but quality of the other items is really really poor. There is a pasta bar with a couple of sauces (the same daily for lunch and dinner all week) and the pasta is barely warm. Salad bar looked good Desserts are again disappointing, lots of sloppy dishes Make sure you take cash euros, you have to pay a deposit for your cups to use. You then take it to the bar once you’re done to either refill or return for a token to get another cup later on.s

I stayed at AluaSun this week. I had chosen the location, as it was close to the venue of wedding I was invited to. The hotel is rated as 4 stars, but I would say it’s 3 stars. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite. I didn’t have a remote for the tv and I was given a new one. The cleaning staff work tirelessly. Although the room was pretty basic, the room was cleaned everyday and was left immaculate. It was good to have a balcony that I could sit out in the evening. I spent a couple of days at the adults only pool. This was a quieter area and the life guards were good are maintaining the adult only rule (I do have kids and a husband, but they didn’t come on this trip), so was good to relax. The bigger pool had slides and lots of space. There was never any issues with sun loungers. The pool areas were very clean as well. Overall I had a good time at AluaSun Marella park. The only thing that lets this place down is the food. I had went full board plus. There really isn’t that much choice. The hot food I found quite cold at times. I did find something to eat at most meal times, but more choice and variety would help. The bacon in the mornings was also cremated and the pizza had a burnt base. I wouldn’t go all inclusive or full board. I would probably just go bed and breakfast, as there’s a complex of shops, restaurants and supermarkets that is about 5 minutes walk.

We just spent a week here. Myself, my son and my best friend and her daughter. The hotel was lovely and clean. The beds are possibly the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in on a holiday. Rooms cleaned daily. This is a great place for kids! The pools are lovely and locked up until 10.30am so no stupid rush for a sun bed every morning! The kids spent near enough all week in the pool and on the slides they’re absolutely fab! The entertainment staff were so lovely too and the evening entertainment was always really fun! We didn’t venture out too much but just around the corner is a supermarket and a row of restaurants. The beach is just a short walk away. The food in the restaurant was not as bad as made out on some of the reviews here… a little repetitive but I think that’s to be expected with an all inclusive! The snack bar is brilliant though, snacks made fresh to order. All in all we’ve had the most brilliant week away here and I would highly recommend!

We had a lovely welcome on arrival. Food plentiful there is something for everyone. The adults only pool, spa is amazing.after 2 days we were upgraded to the main building with pool, sea view absolutely stunning.room 608 the cleaners work really hard. Nothing to complain about. I’m still here got 3 days left. And can’t honestly say I will be sad to leave. Definitely recommend Ala sun Marbella park.

This is a great hotel,the rooms were very clean,the staff were great,especially the entertainment team,best I've come across. Free shuttle bus into the town up to 7pm. The only downside,the food wasn't great,not alot of choice,and not a very big restaurant,you may struggle for a seat high season. Would definitely recommend and would certainly visit again.
