Hotel Information: Guests arrive at a high-rise tower with panoramic views of the nearby hills. Inside is a marble-floored lobby clad in dark-wood paneling interspersed with green-and-brown mosaics and walls of pale-green glass. Guests relax on red-velvet sofas or black-leather armchairs. The resort attracts recreation-minded vacationers along with high-powered business people and conference attendees.

Amenity highlights: This resort on the Costa del Sol is a blend of beach, pools, conference facilities, land and water sports, and gorgeous gardens. The manicured grounds are laced with streams, subtropical plants, waterfalls, arching Japanese bridges, and lily ponds that are home to fish, frogs, and ducks. The on-site Marco Tennis Academy offers 10 courts, including nine clay courts and one hard, as well as two paddle courts, along with classes and a clubhouse.

Insider tip: In mid-July, many towns and villages in the area pay homage to the Virgen del Carmen, but it’s more than a religious celebration. Just about everyone joins in with late-night parties of flamenco dancing and song.
