Vime la Reserva de Marbella

We went there in May 2024. We planed to stay 2 nights but we ended up extending many times. When we arrived at the reception, Isabel was checking us in and we loved her humour, profesionalism and also her good mood. She gave us a peaceful room where we enjoyed the beautiful weather on our terrace. Isabel and Ioana were very helpful with any information we needed during our stay there. Thank you so much! :) There are 2 supermarkets (one on the left and one on the right side of the hotel) near by - just 2-3 minutes away from the hotel. It was a great morning walk to buy fresh fruits, fresh orange juice and water. We spent our time exploring the cities near by and we didn't use the hotel facilities much. We went one time to the outside pool and few times to the gym. At the pool was peaceful and the gym clean. The hotel has a great location and not far from Marbella and Banus where we drove quite often for food. There is also a beach (Cobapino - I guess it is the name) - 4 minutes away by car. Wild and beautiful where you can have a nice walk or sit and enjoy the sun. Some small things which we noticed in every hotel we've been in Spain was the unpleasant bathroom smell but with desinfectant can be eliminated. So we had a desinfectant spray with us all the time and we were fine. Problem solved :). The staff there and everywhere is doing it for you if you request it but we preferred to do it ourselves. It is something easy to do. Every 2nd day the cleaning staff is asking if you need fresh towels and have the garbage removed. In the bedroom's capboard are fresh bed sheets and they also change it for you after few days. There is also a hairdryer in the bathroom drawer or in the bedroom cupboard. There is also an iron and a small ironing board available in the room. The apartment was spacious for 2 people and we had 3 terrace. We appreciated very much the wash machine. It was helpful and kept us clean. There was one long pillow for 2 people. My husband is carrying his own pillow with him all the time so we didn't have to share the pillow. If you want separated pillows you might talk to them and surely they will find a solution for this. The personal we come in contact with was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in Vime Hotel. For our needs was just right and we look forward to our next visit.

Take your own towels as their pool towel service is a scam. Paid 40 euros cash as a deposit for 4 towels. Was told when we hand them back at check out we would get money back. Went to do this at check out and was told since we don’t have a receipt we cant get it back. They showed us everyone elses receipt stapled to their money and said they don’t have ours so they obviously lost our deposit and receipt or have pocketed it. Staff were extremely rude and unhelpful. Insinuating we never paid a deposit and had stolen the towels. Had to move rooms 3 times, smelly kitchen, no blinds in bedroom, no aircon in living room/kitchen, bathroom in second bedroom is so small you can’t sit on the toilet! Outdoor pool closes at 7pm even in summer. You also need to spend at least 20 euros in a taxi/uber to get anywhere They really ruined the end of our holiday, we probably would have returned as 2 of our party had been before but it’s definitely gone downhill - especially in terms of cleanliness - and we didn’t appreciate being laughed at, shouted at and called liars in the middle of reception.

Location good.There is good childrens playground. Breackfast very bad,every day one menu no any differents,coffe very bad,and if I wanted drink a tee,hot water comes from machine with coffee (( Apartments was 3of5 Uncomfortable kitchen,the sink is located too in the corner,it was impossible to wash the dishes.And old rusty refrigerator,looks not for four stars. We were with a child and it was good that a partition was installed on the stairs.

Booked this last minute for a decent price. We booked a one bedroom apartment, but I think we were possibly upgraded as there was both a bedroom upstairs and downstairs. We also had two bathrooms and two large balcony’s both upstairs and downstairs. The apartment was gorgeous and huge, pretty clean looking at it….. As it’s out of season everything was closed apart from the indoor pool. You have to book the sauna to use it though. We all really liked staying here and would go back again. I’ve rated it 3 starts due to the smell. The whole apartment smelt like a musty, mouldy, mocky smell. It was worse downstairs. The furniture smelt like an old used furniture shop too when you opened the doors and drawers. At first I thought the cleaners used a dirty mop and it was just the floors. But the sheets on the bed smelt like that too. It’s 15 minutes from Marbella in a taxi/Uber, which was handy.

Decent place to stay. It’s very expensive to have a holiday here, based on the fact that you are renting a small house and needing to get a taxi everywhere. Because of this, I feel the hotel wasn’t a good value for money on the cleanliness and the quality of facilities. The food was good. But again, very expensive and not worth the money. Nevertheless in the morning from 9 till 10 AM, there's a buffet that has bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, toast etc. There’s a restaurant that serves food and drink all day, they have all the alcohol you could ever want till 12 AM and the waiters are friendly. There are plenty of facilities. There was a main pool, a kiddie pool, a private pool with a jacuzzi (that was unfortunately colder than the pool), a play park and a supermarket 2 mins away. There's a gym which l'm sure some of you would find useful too. Overall this is a good place to stay for a small family holiday, but we couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being bled dry of our savings. Being outside of Marbella it is somewhat peaceful, but you’re better off actually booking a place in it.

Good place to stay. To clarify this isn’t a hotel, but rather a rental villa estate surrounding the main reception building and pools. This made it hard to book from home and if we had a problem the staff working there wouldn’t help us. But they’re the only negatives I have. The food was good. We didn’t pay for All Inclusive, but it was still worth the money. In the morning from 9 till 10 AM, there’s a buffet that has bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, toast etc. All enough to keep the brits happy and more. They have all the alcohol you could ever want at the main pool bar till 12 AM and the waiters are friendly. There are loads of facilities. There was a main pool, a kiddie pool, a private pool with a jacuzzi, a play park and a supermarket 2 mins away. There’s a gym which I’m sure some of you would find useful too. Overall this is a good place to stay for a small family holiday and being on the outskirts of Marbella it is peaceful.
