Puente Romano Marbella

I have just returned from a stay at the Puento Romano and must say it is a really lovely place. Our room was finished to a really high standard and the maids were amazing, attention to detail spectacular. The grounds around the hotel are beautiful and really lovely to spend time in. There is a large, really well thought out playground for the little ones, which is really nice (although doesn???t open until 10AM.) The breakfast offering is impressive and the views from there (Sea Grill restaurant are spectacular.) One negative point here is that the high chairs need to be better cleaned...this was the only single area of the hotel where the cleanliness was not up to the mark. Rachel???s eco cafe is amazing, the quality and price of the food are great...it gets busy for this reason. The lifeguards pool side (who also distribute towels) do a great job of managing the pool areas, they are clean, tidy and tranquil. The concierge staff are really helpful and work incredibly efficiently - whatever your needs Re restaurant bookings, bag drop offs/picks ups, arranging taxis etc. To try and give a balanced review I must make note of the negatives (there weren???t many..) the hotel is difficult to navigate with a pram, it???s built into a hill and as such there are unavoidable steps around the place. A charge of 6 EUR is made for room service - for us this was merely a request for a bucket of ice..I think that???s a bit of a Liberty given the price you pay to stay here. Overwhelmingly a great time was had, they do a very good job of making your holiday amazing. I would recommend a trip!

I rarely find myself astounded by Spas but this small, suburban spa with its location and services gives you a total feeling of Revival. You really feel welcome when you enter the spa and you are presented with a smile from a friendly and helpful staff, a small bowl of almonds and dates and a refreshing beverage. When I first saw the wet area, I felt like Alice in Wonderland, playing Hopscotch on huge stones, surrounded by water, leading you to a Hammam area, sauna or relax area. Everything contributes to your wellbeing and comfort. On one side you see tiny waterfall cascades dripping down stone scales, on the other side water is running down the windows as Tropical rain. The mixture of natural sounds it creates strikes straight into your mind, helping you wash away all daily worries. The relax area itself is called the Cocoon. It is an amazing wooden structure that gives you intimacy and a feeling of being sheltered. After your treatment, you definitely want to ???open your wings??? like a butterfly. I had the pleasure to experience a hammam treatment with Arlette. Then I went to a very nice massage room with the typical white-and-blue Marbella-style tiles on the wall and received a fantastic massage by Tesi . The linens they use are the utter heaven sensation. However, there is one thing Six senses need to work on. The changing rooms should have more privacy if you ask me in order to give a better relaxation feeling. In my opinion, this is the only thing they should improve. Of course, one must be prepared to spend a good amount of money for such an experience but it???s definitely worth it! You feel light and blissful and you easily switch off your mind when you are inside that magical Spaland.

We recently stayed for 4 nights at this fabulous hotel and wish we could have stayed longer. From the minute we arrived, and multiple people greeted us, we could tell the service would be fantastic, and that was consistent with every single person who worked at this hotel for the entire visit. Our room and bathroom were beautiful and maintained constantly by a dedicated houskeeping staff. The concierge helped us with multiple restaurant bookings and was very friendly. The property itself is unbelievably beautiful. I have traveled a lot and stayed at some great hotels, but the landscaping at this hotel is like nothing I have ever seen- beautiful plants, water features, flowers everywhere- it felt like a tropical paradise. We had two fabulous dinners at the hotel property- one at Serafina (amazing Italian food) and one at Bibo (fun, eclectic menu) - and the included breakfast buffet had everything we could think of. We also rented bikes on the property one day and rode all up and down the promenade lining the beach (from the hotel to Marbella and back, and then to Puerto Banus and back) and it was an easy, beautiful bike ride looking at the ocean the whole time. When you rent the bikes, you get them until midnight, so we locked them up for a few hours when we went back to the hotel and then rode them to dinner in Marbella overlooking the ocean and it was a great way to travel for that day and night. We also used the fitness center each day which is small but has modern and well-maintained equipment. Finally, on our last day, we didn't need to leave for the airport until about 5:30 p.m., and we stopped by that morning to see if we could possibly have a late check-out (thinking maybe they would give us an extra hour or two at most) and they said no one was booked in our room that night so they let us stay until 4 p.m. which was so nice- it allowed us to really enjoy our last day rather than feeling like we couldn't enjoy the pool or beach. And they told us if the room wasn't available, they could have let us use the shower in another, unoccupied room before leaving- just that kind of extra touch and going above and beyond really makes this place special. It was expensive for us, but we felt it was well worth it for how wonderful our experience was, and we definitely plan to go back. Thank you for making this such a special trip for us!
