Hotel Information: Crown Resorts comprises five complexes located within a two-kilometre radius and connected by courtesy bus: The sites range from whitewashed apartment blocks to more traditional Andalusian-style properties with domed turrets, terracotta and mosaic tiles. The resort attracts families and couples seeking self-catering accommodation in a quiet residential area, but still close to the beach and attractions of the Costa del Sol.

Amenity highlights: The health club at Club Marbella has a large indoor pool area decorated in a Roman theme with mosaic tiling, pillars and a mural depicting Roman columns, flora and fauna. Sun loungers flank the pool which is heated all year. There is also a spa tub surrounded by tropical plants, and a beauty parlour for massages and treatments. In warmer weather guests can make use of outdoor pools at each complex. Children’s programmes run year-round.

Insider tip: During the summertime, small beachside restaurants known as chiringuitos line the coastline, and offer a plentiful supply of fresh fish dishes most commonly served fried and accompanied by a pepper salad. A popular accompaniment is tinto de verano, red wine served in a tall glass with ice and lemonade.
