Winter weekend Break/Conference

I have just returned from our Annual conference held in Marbella. Staying at the Puento Romano Hotel. A leading hotel of the world. And this it certainly is. The hotel is located right in the middle of Puerto Banus and Marbella. Away from the busy resort, but just a 15 minute walk in either direction to each resort. The hotel is beautiful. The rooms well furnished and very comfortable, and although a large hotel, it is very spread out making it a calm oasis. Adjacent to the hotel is the Tennis Club where Davis Cup matches have been held.

Ehilst here I found an excellent choice of hotels, excellent choice of restaurants, superb scenery into the mountains surrounding the area.

Our conference was held in the Marbella Conference Centre, it was superb. Easy to access, just 5 minutes by coach or a 20 minute walk, and very well run.

Whilst here I did an Adventure Challenge! This involved a 1/2 trip by coach up into the mountains and then taking part on orienteering (very short course)! mountain biking, abseiling, archery, rock climbing and blind folded driving!!!!! I was a very apprehensive, but need not have been. It was great fun, not too difficult so anyone could manage most if not all of the challenges and was a great team building afternoon.

Golf courses in the area are also perfect.

The area was a lot nicer than what I expected from the Spain we have know in the past. This is a more upmarket area of Spain, and the prices do reflect that. If you are looking for a weekend or mid week break in the winter, or even looking for somewhere to have a conference, Marbella is perfect. With temperatures around 23 degrees and sun, you cannot go far wrong.

I enjoyed a wonderful weekend here.
