Additionally, use the Smart Shopping tool via the app to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can act quickly if prices drop or new rooms become available, making your last-minute getaway even more appealing.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay at a hotel in Marbella. If you're after something a bit different, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value.
