Просто восторг! Очень красивая уютная и просторная квартира в комплексе на берегу моря!А главное в 5 минутах ходьбы от Старого города!В апартаментах есть все! И много света и шкафов.Есть кухня,гостиная и спальня. Персонал очень приветливый .Сын оставил кошелек в такси,и на рецепшине Виктор помог нам дозвониться до такси ,принял участие.Спасибо ему отдельное.Кошелек нашли.Мы были в восторге!Советую всем!
Чистота немного хромает,но это было вообще не важно!
Well the location is amazing, and the apartment size was amazing. Also the view is good and the area around the location includes all facilities “ supermarkets, coiffure, restaurants and the beach is in front ..”
Well, I was very disappointed from the cleaning services and housekeeping. The towels in the bathrooms are not changed on a daily basis however they’re changed every 3 days which was not indicated before booking. Also the bathroom needs to be in a better condition, the place where you put the soap is broken and the bidet water needs to be fixed. Also the condition of the bed sheets is not the best, they’re not very clean and the sheets are too thin. I wish they reconsider looking at these facilities because the location and apartment space is amazing.
Great location. Close to the beach, restaurants and bars
Could do with a bit of a refurb.
Clean

Top locatie. Gelijk aan de boulevard/strand en binnen 15 minuten lopen in het oude centrum. Erg vriendelijk personeel en prima ontbijt.
Bedden waren erg hard en douche werd erg snel koud. Zwembad was klein en de zon was snel weg op die plek.
Can’t wait to return
No iron in the room
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this apartment! The staff was truly fantastic—exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The highlight of the accommodation was definitely the balcony; we were spoiled with a beautiful view of both the sea and the stunning mountains. Enjoying our morning coffee with that backdrop was unforgettable. The space was comfortable, well-maintained, and made our trip extra special. Highly recommended, and we would love to return! ❤️❤️❤️
The only real downside was the lack of basic cleaning supplies. It would have been really helpful to have at least a broom in the room so we could easily sweep up the sand brought in from the beach 😅. Other than that minor detail, we really enjoyed our stay!
The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean.
Staff wasn't that helpful. No complementary drinks such as water and coffee. You have to buy your own, at the reception.
Cela fait maintenant trois ans que je viens à cet hôtel. Il est excellent et le personnel est très gentil.

posizione rispetto al mare e al centro
tutto perfetto peccato il mare deludente
Nice location, seasideview-real seasideview! Fantastic breakfast Buffet, friendly staff. If you like the beach near and alot of restaurants nearby you‘ll definitely like this place! The only downside: Parking the rental car is a challenge and/or expensive. All in all a top spot for a nice holiday.
La ubicación
Amazing location overlooking the beach. Clean and spacious apartment which was a perfect base to either relax on the terrace or go out for the day. Friendly cleaning and reception team always smiling. Lovely selection of food for breakfast, there was something for everyone. Great price for the location.
Positives:- Wonderful location Spotless cleaning Get an apartment for the separate bedroom. Well equipped kitchen Breakfast was varied with lots of choices. Areas for improvement:- Put people with children together as a small child was running the corridors for hours from 6am. Stop charging for the safe. I have never paid anywhere before. It is a basic require requirement when overseas. Other points:- Didn’t eat at restaurants so can’t comment Ask for a higher floor to have any sort of sea view. Pool is very small but perfectly fine. Don’t expect a big pool at all. Always sunbeds and in the sun most of the day.

Alles was gedateerd, het zwembad heel klein
Perfect location, very clean hotel, staff very friendly, walking distance from all activities in the beautiful Marbella!
O hotel é limpo e muito bem localizado.
A piscina é pequena e não condiz muito com as fotos do Booking, além disso, o café da manhã é MUITO pobre. Todos os dias foram servidos os mesmos bolos solados e não pareciam frescos. O fato de não ter estacionamento é algo a ser considerado quando se vai de carro. Os estacionamentos ao redor são caros ( acima de 30 Euros) e achar vaga na rua quando a cidade está cheia, é um desafio.
Excellent location. Very clean. Great shower. Very quiet surroundings. Strict policy regarding noise.
Extra large balcony with direct sea views on boardwalk side. Good location. Staff was nice.
Interior felt a bit cheap for the price. No basic supplies present such as beach towels, dish soap, paper towels, toilet brush, etc. They even charge money for using the safe. BBQ smoke from restaurants can be bothersome at times depending on wind direction. Better options available in Marbella for less money.
The beachfront location, ease of access, and friendly staff
Lovely breakfast and a lovely bright dining room

Una estancia muy agradable. Lo que más destacaría es, sin duda, la excelente ubicación, perfecta para moverse con comodidad y disfrutar de la zona sin necesidad de grandes desplazamientos. También quiero hacer una mención especial a Diego. Su trato fue excepcional: cercano, amable y muy profesional. Da gusto encontrarse con personas que hacen que te sientas bienvenido desde el primer momento y que están siempre dispuestas a ayudar con una sonrisa. La habitación era correcta, cómoda y cumplía con lo necesario para descansar. Sin embargo, el verdadero valor añadido de este hotel es la atención de su personal y su magnífica localización. Sin duda, volvería por la experiencia y por el trato recibido.
Podría mejorarse las instalaciones y mobiliario.

Localização em frente à praia, em local com vários restaurantes, bares e comércio. Perfeito para aproveitar o mar de Marbella. Quarto amplo e limpo.
A limpeza do banheiro deixou um pouco a desejar, mas nada que os demais pontos da hospedagem.
Great location, high level of cleanliness, staff of all grades friendly, helpful and professional. Spacious accommodation. I would recommend this hotel. Nice quite atmosphere.
Svært fin leilighet med alt man trenger, stor terrasse med den fineste utsikten jeg har sett. Kunne kastet en stein ut i havet fra terrassen. Leiligheten og hotellet er rent og man får hjelp til det man trenger. Vi lånte sykler fra hotellet og syklet til forskjellige strander og til puerto banus, anbefaler dette! Renholderene er veldig hyggelig, og kommer inn å ordner rommet selv om du ikke er ute av leiligheten før sent på morningen. De fortjener virkelig en applaus!
Har ingen negative bemerkninger og jeg er nøye på hotellene jeg bor på.
Location
Very noisy really old dirty furniture
Very good location
No car parking
The bathroom, the toilet was by the shower door.
Really great location
Too very sparce and not enough electrical points to the wardrobe
The property is well maintained and the front desk team is incredibly helpful. However, at a rate exceeding $260/night, guests should expect basic resort perks like complimentary beach towels, etc. Additionally, housekeeping operations are rigid; rooms are skipped if not available when the attendant passes, and no service or towel replenishment is available after 16:00, which detracts from the value. After I mentioned the problem with the towels on hotel site, I've got the answer: "as part of our policy … towel changes are not scheduled for stays of up to 4 nights" I think this is outrageous!!!
the hotel was in an excellent location. It was clean and the staff were very helpful. pool was a bit on the small side but that said i used the beach everyday which is right outside the hotel. the food was excellent with great choice. i had a front sea view room which was lovely just wish it was bit higher up, but the room it self was clean and had everything you needed. i would recommend this hotel and will book here again.
L’emplacement idéal sur la plage et proche de tout l’appartement confortable bien agencé et très grand avec un beau balcon vue mer Le petit déjeuner l
Just back from our 10th stay at Puerto Azul, and it truly remains our favourite place to stay in Marbella. We visit around three times a year, and whether we’ve come as a family of four, a couple, or even a group of ten, every stay has been consistently fantastic. The atmosphere is always calm, welcoming and relaxing. The location couldn’t be better for us. We love being close to Playa del Faro and Puerto Deportivo de Marbella — perfect for the beach, the bars and the great choice of restaurants. The cleanliness is exceptional. No matter what time of day you leave your room, you always return to fresh towels and perfectly made beds. We’ve stayed in both front‑facing and side‑facing rooms, and every one has been clean, spacious and comfortable. Even on the street side, noise has never been an issue. The staff are wonderful — always smiling, friendly and genuinely helpful. The Sirocco restaurant on the ground floor is brilliant for lunch, offering three courses for under 20 euros, which is amazing value. If I had to mention one tiny negative, it would be that the beds are a little on the firm side, but it’s certainly not enough to stop us returning. Already counting down to our next stay in five weeks time.
Geräumig Küche gut ausgestattet Personal freundlich hilfsbereit Lage unschlagbar
Der Poolbereich etwas lieblos gestaltet
Friendly reception staff and very helpful. Had a minor problem with air con and they fixed it within the hour. Lovely side view studio room 305 near beach end of hotel was perfect. Very spacious, big balcony, well equipped kitchen. Air con free and was brilliant. Pool with sunloungers but didn’t use as went to beach. Restaurant on ground floor if want breakfast buffet 14 euros or order other things if don’t want full buffet. To walk out back of apartments straight on to promenade and beach directly there was perfect. Sunloungers with fixed parasols 25 euros for 2 people on the beach. Bus from airport to Marbella bus station 7 euros then taxi to Puerta azul 8 euros. I stayed here 13 years ago and wasn’t dissapointed for my 2nd visit. No negatives which is very rare and looking forward to returning Plenty of nice bars:restaurants 2 minutes walk. 18 minute walk to Old Town which has lovely walkways, restaurants, shops etc.
The location is unbeatable and the room was very comfortable with a great view
Was a little noisy from the restaurants and bar below but it didn’t really bother us
The location is perfect for access to everything. Shower was powerful. Night time was surprisingly quiet given that we had a room over the strip. Side gate down on to the strip. All staff that we met on reception were very helpful
The pool is a lot smaller than it looks in the pictures. We ate in the sirocco restaurant and the food was poor.

Ubicación y limpieza
Great location, awesome service, rooms big and comfortable y also really nice view!!!
Fantastic location, clean and well maintained. Lovely apartment with large bathroom and shower, also kitchenette.
We wish the pool was slightly bigger and on the beach side, facing the sea. It wasn’t clear that this wasn’t the case from the pictures.
Tolle Lage, gutes Frühstück, saubere Zimmer, sehr freundliches Personal, wir kommen gerne wieder.
Wir waren überrascht, dass der Zimmersafe extra zu zahlen war.
Increíble estancia como siempre es la 3 vez que volvemos y seguiremos yendo. Personal amable localización primera linea de playa. Apartamento increíble
Excellent location, everything in walking distance
Excellent location, nice big balconies
Bathroom very small, shower wasn’t great and ran out of hot water very quickly
Great location, good value for money, friendly staff, would stay again. Rooms were a good size and walking distance to lots of restaurants and the beach front.
Had issues with the shutter at first which impacted our sleep however the staff resolved it and fixed it so no further issues.
Pobrali opłatę za pobyt dwa dni wcześniej a po dotarciu do hotelu poinformowali że mają pełne obłożenie i przerzucają nas do innego hotelu - który był gorszej jakości - Ona Princessa Playa , przy budowie - od rana straszny hałas , niższy standard. Nie polecam absolutnie. Podróżuje po całym świecie i nigdzie nie spotkałam takiej nieprofesjonalnej obsługi. Na booking po sprawdzeniu nadal sprzedawali ten hotel jako dostępny
Great location
Shower was a bit poor but still worked and never caused an issue to us.
We went to Puerto Azul Marbella for my daughters hen party we didn't know what to expect but it met all out expectations, it was a really nice spacious room the beds were perfect snd comfy so we're the pillows, kitchen had everything you would need some of the days we went to the supermarket which was just a short walk with fresh bread made every day the prices for the food were not much different to the UK, they had really nice meats so we took a little sandwich and crisp to the beach, the beach is just across the walk way easy to get a sun bed and shade they ere 20 uroes for 2 beds and shade for the whole day the guy on the beach was nice he moved your beds anywhere you wanted, nice walks with plenty of shops and restaurants, we got taxis really easy too there was 9 off us so we got a minibus or large taxi when just 6 off us went out we got the phone numbers off the taxi drivers so we could just ring them direct they were there straight away, would definitely recommend its ideal for a quick getaway. Our room was 212 we had a nice balcony with a view of the sea

Direkt am Strand schone saubere Wohnung mit Küche und Balkon.
