Marbella Travel Forum

We will be without car for the last half of our stay, and are looking into hiring a car. It seems however that all good deals are pick-up and leave at Malaga airport. Is there any way to get a good deal picking up the car in Marbella and then leaving it at Malaga airport? Or even better, picking it up at Nueva Andalucia or Puerto Banus?

Hi
Is there anybody who could give me some info on Scuba diving centres/schools in the Puerto Banus area?. I have heard there is one called 'the happy divers' somewhere around there. Are there any others that anyone can recommend and do they have English speaking guides/instructors? We will be staying not far from the Puerto Banus harbour and the divers amongst our party would prefer a place that is 'safe' yet 'close to home' if possible.
Anyone have any info to give or comments to make?
Thanks for your help.

I'll be in Marbella for 3 weeks this September with my fiance, we have a place to stay but are looking for neat places to visit, eat, and just take a nice walk. We are on a budget-if you have any suggestions for innexpensive places to go, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello,

I really like foreign languages (I'm German and am fluent at English and French), but right now I'm in college and don't really have much time to learn a new language if I dont want to risk dropping out (or not havin any free-time!) ;-(.

However, I'm really interested in Spain. I've been to Valencia before, which I loved and Marbella seems like a great place, too.

I just read that people who move to Marbella usually don't have to rush to learn Spanish, because there are so many English-speaking expatriates around and most Spanish people there can speak some English, too (though people like if you at least make the attempt to speak their language).

Is the grasp of English really quite good in Marbella or was that an exaggeration? Does the average person in Marbella speak some basic English?

Is it possible to walk from the Marbella Marriott to shops, market or restaurants. We have a choice of staying at the Marbella Marriott or the Andaluza Marriott and want to know if either are in good locations for walking in a nice area.

It appears that the Andaluza Marriott rooms are bigger and perhaps the resort is nicer, but may be in a poor location. Is the Marbella resort any better? Thanks

Hi, we are thinking of visiting Marbella next summer. We have been scoping out villas and have seen one we like the look of - its location is described as being "in an upmarket area of Marbella known as La Carolina,conveniently situated between Marbella town and the ever popular Puerto Banus."
We dont want to to trek miles for groceries or restaraunts, and want to be able to take "trips" to surrounding areas without driving.
Can anyone tell me if this is a good area and whether buses etc pass through their to places like Banus etc ?
The villa backs onto the golden mile so im assuming the location is pretty central.
Any and all info gratefully received : )

Hello!

I can't wait to come to Puerto Banus/Marbella in a few weeks. I know its nearly the end of the club season and on checking Dreamers website it looks like there aren't any planned club nights in September.. I am going to be in the are 10th - 17th and would like a night out of dancing and having fun. Do you know whether any clubs are still open?

Alos, I don't drive so I wandered whether taxis are easily available in the area?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi
Can you give me some ideas of day trips that can be made from Marbella? I have been offered a holiday apt in Marbella during August and I have never been there - so trying to see if there are nice day trips that can be done with Marbella as a base because we are not too good at sitting on beaches for days on end.
Also - would you recomment Marbella for teen kids or will they be bored?
thanks
