My experience at the hotel was a mix of positives and a few disappointments. The villa we booked was lovely and spacious, enhanced by a great spa. However, the service had its flaws, especially concerning the availability of basic amenities like water. Overall, while there were great features like a beautiful pool and kid-friendly offerings, there were some areas that could significantly improve, especially for the price we paid.

The Oasis by Don Carlos has a stunning location and beautiful rooms, complemented by a great breakfast with friendly staff. Unfortunately, the dining experiences in the restaurant and bar were severely lacking in service, which detracted from the overall experience. While the facilities are lovely, more attention is needed in the dining and service areas to match the hotel's reputation.

I recently enjoyed a fantastic stay at Don Carlos, which offers a wonderful mix of luxury and family-friendly amenities. The service from the staff was exceptional, making our experience feel personalized and welcoming. Our room was spacious, clean, and provided beautiful views, but I wished there were a bit more dining options available on-site. The pool area and beach club were highlights for relaxation, perfect for both adults and kids, though the evening taxi fares to nearby attractions can add up quickly.

I had an amazing stay at Hotel Don Carlos, where every moment felt special. The hotel is beautifully decorated, bringing a nice modern vibe. The service was top-notch, particularly at the Terrace Bar where Antonio really stood out with his friendly demeanor. Though the dining options at the pool restaurant weren't quite as great as I remembered, the breakfast was excellent. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with some areas for improvement.

The hotel has a beautiful property with stunning gardens and some relaxing areas, making for a pleasant stay overall. The rooms are spacious but feel a bit dated compared to what you'd expect from a five-star establishment. The breakfast is top-notch, but the dining experience later in the day lacks some attention to detail. While the beach club is nice, having to pay for sunbeds is a downside.

Rooms

The rooms are spacious and have great views over Marbella bay, but they are somewhat dated and could use refurbishment.

Service was a mixed bag; some staff were friendly and accommodating, but others seemed lacking unless tipped.

The hotel is about 15-20 minutes from the bustling areas of Puerto Banus and Marbella, which is convenient but might feel far if you're looking for nightlife.

The grounds are lovely with mature gardens, but the pool area felt a bit cramped.
