DON CARLOS LEISURE RESORT & SPA

Went here on our last night before returning home the following day. Great drinks menu - non alcoholic as well. Very relaxing , attentive but discrete service. Entertainment with a singer accompanied on the piano followed by a singer and guitarist and then a brief interlude with a laptop. Well worth the visit and will certainly be back - possibly dinner next time and then drinks. Not too expensive either €41.60 for 3 glasses of wine, 2 non alcoholic Pina Coladas, a water and a cappuccino . 😉

Average 4 star hotel rather than an excellent 5 star as badged. The rooms were of a good standard although we had a couple of issues such as the TVs not working and being charged for items from the minibar that we'd not consumed. Checkin and checkout were both chaotic and long winded due to poor staff and organisation, despite prior booking. Dangerous iron provided by the hotel which sparked and almost electrocuted my wife when plugged in! No apology at all when taking it back to reception to complain! Breakfast was excellent though, with numerous options both hot and cold, and items cooked to order if requested. Bar service was slow both in the main hotel bar and orange beach bar. Spa area expensive at 40 euros pp and even then not all facilities were working Hotel tired and showing its age in a number of places such as broken steps on the way down to the pool area from reception. Location is approx 30 mins from Malaga airport and 20 mins from Marbella.

Spent five nights in the Oasis spa. Very good facilities - sauna, steam bad pools etc. Good rooms with quality furnishings - but loud smoking neighbours intrude. Why in a non smoking room is it allowed to smoke on the balcony - all that happens is that the neighbouring room is full of your stinking cigarette smoke - in a wellness hotel! We really enjoyed staying in this Hotel - many facilities, a beautiful garden with ponds full of lilies and frogs(!!), good restaurant and excellent breakfasts in the Oasis. Self made juices, smoothies salads - all together very impressive. Again it was great until the smokers arrived. It is in good taste that when you have finished your breakfast and others are still taking theirs and you wish to smoke then go far away! So simple! The staff ( never came across the management) in the Oasis in particular are very good! Fran on reception or Alicia who gave me a great massage are just two of many who really want to make your stay memorable. The staff at breakfast, the cleaners, the maintenance staff all friendly and very helpful!It seems their aim is to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The Oasis is an Hotel in a hotel - so you get the advantages of Don Carlos but with extra refinements - I do not know but has the Oasis the top staff' Could be... Location of the Hotel is good with easy access to Marbella via taxis, and the beach in both directions offers wonderful opportunities to walk, jog, swim Would certainly return again - and again just before the "official season" opens

The Hotel was nice.. Very Clean and tidy, staff were very helpful but the restaurant had NO idea how to make simple Nachos and the Guacamole was totally disgusting.. A 5* hotel should be able to cook simple stuff...

Conference facilities excellent; large auditorium and breakout rooms. Staff friendly and helpful. Plenty of them too to take food and drink orders around pool and beach area. Hotel a little tired in places but amenities good. Good beach access and views. Clean.
