Loved my stay! Property was immaculate. Staff was friendly and professional. Food was excellent. Very convenient for walk into Puerto Banus, and a quick ride to Marbella. I highly recommend it!

First Stay at Iberostar
Thank you for the outstanding service by your entire staff. Iberostar Coral Beach Resort is beautiful and the restaurant meals were delicious and varied. Iberostar made our first visit to Marbella truly memorable and special!

Nice staff. Good location. Over priced for facilities. No privacy in room and bathroom design. Bed not great. Aircon stopped working on the last night. For half the cost these things may have been more acceptable.

Fine
The hotel lobby and pool area are lovely, but unfortunately, it’s not right on the beach. I wish there had been more food options (pool club didn’t have much fresh options and dinner is buffet only). Rooms are basic but fine - quite a few ants in mine! But the bed was a bit hard. Overall, it was fine, not bad but not great. Stayed 2 nights and that was enough

Staff was truly amazing, especially in the dining area. The rooms were specious but relatively basic. The pool area did not wow. We used the bikes which was a lot of fun. One suggestion for the management: make the rentals hourly.

Could not rate this hotel highly enough. Excellent location, 15 minute walk from Peurto Banus. The hotel is so well presented, rooms are so clean and decor is light and airy for a relaxed feel. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We stayed bed and breakfast and the selection on offer and breakfast was fab. Will definitely be booking here again on our next trip back to Marbella

Good short stay
Great location right on the beach front and only a short walking distance from the main Puerto Banús strip. Rooms were clean, staff were very accommodating and nice to get a few extra perks like a free welcome cocktail. The main pool is fine as wasn’t too busy when we were there, there is another pool that my room overlooked and would have loved to use but it was in fact private and for certain rooms only so if you want something a bit more private worth looking into those rooms.

Wish I had better things to say. The property is okay it’s in a good spot to get into both sides of town. The pool is nice but it’s small and they don’t have enough lounge chairs for everyone and everyone wakes up early and takes all the lounge chairs with their towels and leaves for hours and doesn’t come back. It’s super annoying and so disrespectful, if your leaving the pool area then take your towels and leave and let others use. The hotel does not have any lounge chairs on the beach you have to pay 20 euros a chair to rent from a restaurant on the beach. And no one at front desk to help with luggage. Wifi was also down when we arrived and wasn’t back up till next day. I would come back to Marbella easy it’s a great destination but I would look at booking a smaller 5 star hotel.

Fantastic hotel in good location. Rooms, cleanliness, facilities and food all excellent. Staff were friendly, polite and very helpful. Although children were catered for I think it was more suited to adults with a chilled out, relaxed vibe feel to the place. Highly recommended.

Overall the hotel was great and it is recommended. We stayed only for one night as we were doing a roundtrip in the Andalucia region. The common areas of the hotel are impressive (specially the pool) and are related to a 5 star hotel. The rooms not so and they are pretty basic and we didnt find the mattress comfortable. The price is pretty reasonable compared to other similar hotels in Marbella (Marbella is very expensive). Well located close to Puerto Banus and far from the town/center of Marbella. Also, the beach of the hotel is minimal so we will have to walk or go somewhere else if you want a beach with nice strech of sand. I do recommed this hotel overall.

The best feature of the hotel is the pool and pool bar area - lots of sun, and there is really no need to book the €10 beds unless you are keen to have a view of the sea. The hotel is extremely clean and well taken care of, and of all the staff the housekeeping staff were very helpful and accommodating. I think in other areas the hotel is still finding it's groove and some staff could use more training, and in many cases there was a language barrier. For example one morning I asked where I could go for a coffee, even a take away coffee, and was told there weren't any places within a 15 minute walk. On the last day we found out we could nip down to the breakfast room and get a coffee without booking breakfast. There seemed to be a lot of up-sell on breakfast and other meal buffets but lacking in general information. The truly negative points of the hotel are twofold: doors and noise. Inside the rooms the bathrooms are 'open' plan with a door on the walk-in shower, and a VERY thin door to the toilet that doesn't quite reach the ground, so there is very little privacy. The other 'door' issue is that the doors to the rooms are set to close firmly when people leave, which is fine, but which also means they SLAM shut every time someone leaves, so by 8am if you are still in your room it is one long succession of slamming doors. In addition you can hear quite a lot of corridor noise (if very little noise from adjacent rooms).
