Marriott's Playa Andaluza Reviews & Ratings

This real family resort is located in a charming coastal village of Estepona where the beach lies at your feet. The typical Andalusian style design is elegant. The apartments are equipped with all the comforts and conveniences needed for a perfect and relaxed holiday. Our days are spent lounging by one of the sparkling swimming pools, visiting the Club House with whirlpool and sauna or enjoying a Spa treatment. So many exciting activities on site. Outside the resort, you can choose a grand tour or simply discover the local region. Various restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. It is also very close to the prestigious Marina of Puerto Banus and the historical old town of Marbella.

This is a great place for all the family, the 2 bed apartments are equipped to the highest standard with a huge amount of space. The resort is in a perfect location with beautiful gardens and both indoor and outdoor pools. The beach is a haven all year round with safe swimming in the warm Med. Nearby there are excellent restaurants and access to the shopping and tourist Meccas of Puerto Banus and Marbella. So chill or be active, your choice.

My sister and I have staid at this resort several times and we each get our own bedroom with bathroom. The staff is kind and friendly and lives up to the Marriott standard "your home away from home".

Fabulous resort and stunning views. Friendly courteous staff. Clean and super comfortable rooms. Highly recommend for a full week relaxing stay!

We’ve loved coming to Playa Andaluza with friends and family for almost 20 years. It’s like home from home. Rooms are so clean and comfy, the staff are all friendly and helpful. We use the gym, pools and fitness classes and the climate is so reliably good! There are amazing golf courses nearby and visits to Marbella, Estepona and their surroundings areas are easy. There’s an Aldi only a short walk away for your shopping if you are self catering.

We have been going to Marriott's Playa Andaluza for many years and very much enjoy the resort, a home from home, the location -- lovely weather in May and close to fabulous restaurants and places to visit. The resort is a wonderful garden with indoor / outdoor pools and beach access, great classes and a gym if you want to be active, attentive staff, places to relax, be with the family -- all in all a great place to unwind!

Many wonderful family holidays in these beautiful apartments, which are situated on the beach front. Ideally located for visiting Marbella, Puerto Banus, Seville, Granada.and the Picasso museum in Malaga. Alternatively, simply relax by one of the three pools.

Not just ocean view, but booked with full Marriott MVC points as "Sea Front" 3 bedroom, 3 bath, so of course view is guaranteed. We love Playa Andalusia, have stayed there many times, (but not often in the "Sea Front" as it's very popular.) The view over the pool to the Mediterranean was fabulous. Dates changed and we'll be at Marbella instead, but I think the Chairman's Club booking link may still help with getting the most awesome view. Would be happy to call the resort (wonderful associates) to help with any requests. We will be in MVC Mallorca and Marbella over a couple of weeks in the same time period and the weather looks to be fabulous.

Beautiful beachfront Estepona resort. Staff always extremely friendly and helpful. Onsite restaurant. Garden view apartment which offers 2 bedrooms. Fully fitted apartment. Indoor pool, gym , hot tubs and sauna are great. Great place to relax or discover the local areas.

The apartment has garden view. However, we've set a preference for a higher floor, which has a better chance of getting a glimpse of the sea too.

The grounds are beautifully maintained (lots of flowers and plants).and all the facilities are kept in great condition.

The rooms are large and comfortably furnished, and there is a beautiful terrace (accessible both from the living room and from the master bedroom), which is large enough so that 4-6 people can sit at the table.

The appartement has a fully equipped kitchen (including all the dishes, glasses and utensils). Also included are washer, drier, iron+ironing board, safe, etc. There is a BBQ space in the yard as well.

There are a few pools, indoor and outdoor (with a water slide in one of the kids pool). The indoor pool is heated, has an integrated swimming lane for laps, and there are wirlpools available, a smaller kids pool, a gym and spa.

The beach is very nice, but if you want to swim în the sea, you should use watershoes because the shore is full of rocks.

We've visited several times in early October, and the weather was warm enough for sunbathing and swimming.

The staff were friendly and helpfull all the times we visited.

This resort is even better than they advertise on the resort pages. For example, they have a mini-club for kids and even a room for toddlers who are too young for the mini club! The kids’ pool is great and they have 2 playgrounds! -- So, if you are traveling with children, this is your place! Lots of activities for the children in a safe place (the access is gate-controlled restricted to guests-only. Also the exit out to the beach is gate-controlled).

There are also various other outside game courts (badminton, volleyball, basketball, paddle tennis, big chess, ping pong, mini-golf, billiards etc.)

They have a few complimentary fitness classes.

They have an on-site restaurant with reasonably good food, but we went to various other nicer restaurants within easy driving distance.

There are plenty of choices for interesting 1-day tips. (The resort website lists various destinations).

We rented a car from the Malaga airport (and there is indoor underground parking with elevator access to get to the apartment). But if needed, you can get taxis as well (the frontdesk can help with that).

The town of Estepona has a nice promenade area along the beach, well maintained and decorated with flowers and plants.

very fun place for kids and adults Kids can enjoy the kids club activities all day clean apartments and very nice cleaning ladies big comfy beds

One week will not be enough. You will want to return year after year.

Beautiful sea front. 2 balconies. Gold season.

Spacious two apartment is great for a holiday with family and friends. It features separate living and dining areas, and a fully equipped kitchen. The beach resort's on-site spa is great for some self-pampering, and you can keep up with your workouts at our 24-hour fitness centre. The towns of Puerto Banus and Marbella are close by too.There are also plenty of activities to please every member of your family.

I have been an owner at Playa Andaluza prior to it being built and visit 2-3 times a year, September ids a great time to visit, it's still very warm and the resort is usually busy, however children have gone back to school which for some can be an added bonus. However in 2023 I am unable to use my weeks, so these are available for rent

A beautiful resort right on the beach. Ideal for families with kids' club, several pools, jacuzzis, bbq area etc, superb restaurant and on-site mini market. Many other restaurant and shopping options within walking distance.

Lovely spacious beach apartment with large rooms, living area, and well equipped kitchen.

Beach/garden view, with pools for both adult and children on site plus spa that offers wonderful treatments to relax and rejuvenate.

Good restaurant, Solero on site, with plenty more within walking distance.

Friendly and attentive staff, always happy to help.

Malaga Airport just 49 minutes away.

Two bedroom, two bath, full kitchen, washer & dryer. Multiple pools, indoor and outdoor. Up to date exercise facility. Barbecues, full terrace, beautiful gardens.
