The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa, Benahavis, Marbella

Rooms were comfortable, if dated (the bathrooms mainly).

Could have been a decent stay (rooms are nice and big, if a bit dated; breakfast buffet is good; pool area ok but also a bit dated) if not for 2 major flaws: - during our stay, a group of British youth drinking non-stop at the pool and in the pool, pints galore. Chatting up girls, behaving obnoxiously, and the pool staff were only happy to keep supplying them with pints of beer and cocktails. Felt more like Magaluf than Marbella. Needless to say, we didn't return to the pool and went to outside beach clubs. The partying extended into the night, of course. The rowdy noise from the bar area and the garden (which all the better rooms overlook!) ran on until 3 in the morning. Repeated calls to reception to complain had zero effect. Basically, the clientele while we were there was like something out of cheap Channel Five reality show, and the hotel management didn't seem bothered by it at all. - we had added a last minute booking to our two rooms for two additional nights, but when we needed to leave earlier than planned, one of the two rooms turned out to be non refundable and the hotel had zero sympathy in refunding the payment.

The pool was nice

The bathrooms were tired and so were the loos near the pool. The pool bar was not five star at all
