I went into my stay at Olive & Ivy with high expectations, having read so many glowing reviews beforehand. Happy to say: not only were those expectations met, they were completely surpassed.
This little hotel is a gem. The attention to detail everywhere – from the decor to the little thoughtful touches in the room – is absolutely amazing. You can feel the love and care that’s been poured into every corner.

We booked this hotel last minute from a 5 night trip. The hotel was beautiful with a very peaceful roof terrace to relax and unwind. Our room was bright, modern and clean. The hotel is 15/20 minute walk from the old town 10/15 mins from the beautiful restaurants at the Port.

The hotel is stunning and the staff are truly amazing
This is possibly the best hotel in marbella
It’s a short trip into Banus but is uber chic and luxurious
Definitely one to try as an alternative to puente ramono

Physically attractive resort with a club-like atmosphere, partly because most stayers have permanent membership of the resort so are repeat visitors.
Staff were charming and helped with small requests.
These are real apartments with separate bedrooms and kitchens, not like a hotel.
Location is excellent; close walking distance to beach, many good restaurants, and short taxi ride to the Marina and its Aquarium, and Benalmadena town centre with its cablecar and Tivoli park, so an ideal...

Lovely hotel. High end vibe about it. Ample sunbeds although we were in October so not peak season. Straight onto beach. Large tennis and padel club next door. Rooms very good standard with views of pool and sea. Approx 15m drive or 15 euro taxi into Estepona. Small town with limited restaurants and supermarket a 15 min walk away.

We stayed for 6 nights in April and it was our second visit in 4 years. We returned as we found the apartment complex nice and quiet , very clean and well maintained with all the facilities required for self catering. It is located right opposite Paloma Park which is a lovely place to take a stroll with lovely gardens and views. The beach is five minutes walk away and there is a bus stop right outside the entrance to the apartments with frequent buses to Mijas which cost just 1.65 euros each...

I really enjoyed my stay at Mella Marbella and would definitely recommend it. The staff were so friendly, helpful, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The location is perfect if you want to be close to Puerto Banús, but I really appreciated that it’s away from all the noise, so you can still relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. Overall, a lovely place to stay and somewhere I’d happily return to.
