In October, 2008, we will fly into Malaga and the next day join friends at their timeshare in Marbella. We need a hotel for that first, jetlagged night. Does anyone have a hotel they would recommend? I realize that Marbella is not high on RS' list of places to visit in Spain, but staying at the timeshare is an opportunity of a lifetime for us. We plan to base there and visit Ronda, Greneda, Nerja, etc. We had briefly thought of staying in Nerja that first night, but it seems a bit cumbersome to get to Nerja and then back to Marbella the next day, unless we rent a car. I think renting a car that first night, after travling for way too many hours, might be asking for trouble. We do intend to rent a car on the 2nd day. And yes, I've looked into carjet, which does have great rental prices. Thanks for your insight.
