Marbella Travel Forum

im going on a trip with my 3 girl friends, we all just turned 21 n want to go celebrate and have a very girly relaxing break.we r planning on going to either marbella or puerto banus. we have got amazing deals for hotels in both places.

marbella- gran hotel guadalupin marbella,,,2bedroom suite with private jaccuzzi, no break fast included

puerto banus- gran hotel guadalupin, 2 rooms, inclusive of breakfast and spa vouchers for each person

price for both r very similar so we dont mind. just wanted to know which place is better to stay,,,cuz both hotels sound really tempting. we r only there for 3dyas so need to maximize our time and get the best out of the trip.

it wont really matter thye are very close together and no doubt which ever one you pick you will wish you had picked the other.
not much between the two toss a coin

worth looking at the independent reviews on hotels uncovered website

Both are equally tacky and overpriced, so take your pick.

lol...hmm now im confused, actually thought we were getting a great deal!
but thanks anways...think its more personal choice now!!

nothing in the posts suggest you are getting a bad deal, dont take too much notice about the places being tacky all holiday resorts appear tacky to some people and usually it is the ones that make comments like that have never even been there. I will say I have been to both places and both are no too bad.
If you want tacky, benidorm and lloret come to mind Marbella is a heaven if put in context with them.

Hi I have stayed at the Guadalpin Marbella 3 bedroom with roof top hot tub it was great the 2 bed have the hot tub on the varanda make sure you turn it on in good time as it takesa while to heat up!
The accomadation is really nice with a small kitchen which comes in handy.
I have not stayed at the Banus hotel but have had a look around it is a more modern hotel as it is not that old the furnishings are more contempry how ever you have the advantage of being right on the beach and also walking distance to Banus if you are in walking shoes where as Guadalpin Marbella is a little far to walk into Marbella and is deffinatly a taxi ride to Banus.
I would go for Banus if I were you as being young you will spend most of your time there but dont miss going to Marbella old town with all the little shops
If this is your first time to Banus believe me you will love it!

thankkk uuuu that was so much help! gonna go book the banus hotel now!
