Estrelicia III Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Estrelicia III, I’ll be honest — it doesn’t scream “hotel” from the outside. Tucked into a residential building in the Marbesa urbanization, it feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s place than checking into a traditional four-star property. The building sits on Calle Cuesta Correa, and you’ll find parking right on site, which is honestly a godsend in this part of Marbella. Most places around here charge you an arm and a leg for parking, so having your own spot included? That’s already a win in my book.

Location Magic

Here’s what makes this spot special — you’re in Marbesa, which means you get that authentic Spanish residential vibe without being stuck in the tourist chaos of central Marbella. The beach is just a short walk away, and I mean the good beaches, not the overcrowded ones where you can barely find a spot for your towel. You’re close enough to Puerto Banús for those fancy dinners and shopping sprees, but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night. The couples who stay here absolutely love it (and I can see why — it’s got that romantic, tucked-away feeling), but honestly, it works for anyone who wants to experience the real Costa del Sol.

The Apartment Experience

What you’re getting here is essentially an apartment setup rather than a typical hotel room. The space feels lived-in and comfortable — think modern Spanish home rather than sterile hotel chain. The kitchen is actually functional (not just for show), which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and cook up some gazpacho or tortilla española if you’re feeling ambitious. The furnishings are contemporary without being cold, and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase.

Practical Perks

You know what I really appreciated? The little things that make a difference when you’re traveling. The Wi-Fi actually works well (crucial for those Instagram shots from the nearby beaches), and the air conditioning doesn’t sound like a jet engine. The building is quiet — remember, you’re in a residential area, so no slamming doors and rowdy tourists at all hours. Plus, having that private parking means you can easily explore the surrounding areas without worrying about finding a spot when you get back.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

This place gets a 9 out of 10 rating for good reason — it delivers on what matters most to travelers. You get the space and privacy of your own place, the convenience of hotel-style booking, and a location that puts you right in the sweet spot of the Costa del Sol. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, and that authenticity really shows. Whether you’re planning romantic getaways or just want a proper base for exploring Marbella and the surrounding coast, Estrelicia III gives you that local experience most hotels can’t match.

Reviews of Estrelicia III

  • Thakoor from United Kingdom (9/10)

    It was a great location. Right by the sea. The pool was super. The apartment is secure with locked gates. The apartment had everything you needed. Washing machine hair dryers, etc. The beds were so comfortable

  • Daniel from Germany (8/10)

    Nice, spacious flat very close to the beach.
    The flat had everything we needed and has even some beach toys for our little kid. Also the balcony as well as the common pool provide a grat option to stay out.

  • Daniela from Brazil (9/10)

    Very nice apartment in front of the beach and with a wonderful swimming pool

  • Pavlovska from Latvia (9/10)

    Excellent apartments on the seafront in a quiet location. Fully equipped with everything you need for your holiday. Very comfortable bed and pillows, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a living room with kitchen. Parking in a closed area. Everything is clean and comfortable. Contacts with the owner are very convenient and fast.

  • Srdan from Croatia (9/10)

    Beautiful, spacious apartment, extremely clean. Excellent location, next to the beach, with free parking in front of the apartment. Granada, Cordoba, Gibraltar, all within 1 to 2 hours drive. Wi fi signal is good, big TV with Netflix in the living room. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet, so you can fall asleep listening the sound of the waves. The kitchen and bathroom are fully equipped (microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, dishes, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, iron, beach towels…). A spacious balcony where it is pleasant to sit in the morning with coffee and in the evening. The owner is very kind and helpful. I highly recommend this accommodation, whether you want to relax by the sea or visit the cities of Andalusia.

  • Mihaela from Romania (9/10)

    Chiar dacă am călătorit in extrasezon șederea in acest complex a fost foarte plăcută.
    Apartamentul curat, decorat cu bun gust, dotat cu toate cele necesare iar gazdele extrem de atente la nevoile noastre.
    Recomand celor ce doresc să adoarmă in sunetul valurilor marii iar dimineața sa-i trezească ciripitul păsărilor.
    Amplasat perfect, cu restaurate si plaje ascunse in imediată apropriere.
