Two burgers that were borderline burned. Two beers. Two milks, and one order of chicken strips for kids. Had to ask 3 times for a high chair for baby. $64. Thanks for nothing. We did not eat another meal on site at the Rio Mar.

The hotel was pushing reservations to "the night of salsa" and 4 reservations were made at $34.99/person. We were seated with our backs to the make shift stage with bright lighting. We ask to be move and they made it happen after a table cleared. Two of our party still were not facing the stage. The show was simple and... More

Didn't have to wait for seating. The Easter dinner was a buffet style with international foods. For the price of the buffet the food variety wasn't all that great and good. I was a little disappointed there. I was expecting some good puertorican food there. Would've like to have the option to order a la carte instead. Breakfast was a... More

Great views and location, but the food was only mediocre and was overpriced. Service was very slow--I'm not a big fan of buffets but that's the way to go here if you want to eat in any kind of timely fashion.

The food at Marbella is buffet style, and the quality is only ok. They do try to make up for it with variety. But it can feel a bit pricey for the quality.

First, the menu on the website was completely different from the menu offered. Next, it took nearly an hour to get the food. It arrived cold.heat would not have helped. An... More

We had many delays getting to our villa and we were traveling with a toddler. We called to find which restaurants would serve carry out. The system was so disorganized that we had to call and wait for each restaurant to respond. This was a Tuesday night, and it took nearly an hour to get our food. The worst part... More

So far I have eaten at Marbella twice now & been very happy with each meal. The first time I tried two of the apps, the chicken chicharron & the pork tacos. Both were delish & a really nice portion size too for the $. The second time I had the charrasco steak with rice & beans and it was... More
