Holiday near Marbella- one week £99

On Living Social website today, there is a deal today for a week's self catering holiday for 2 at The Marbesa Club for just £99.

It seems about a mile away from main Marbella. Looks like a great deal.

    I received that email too, but they are not that clear about the holiday details, is it £99 for 2 people? it also said £149 for 4, but is that each or for all 4 people? they only want families to go, and it is self catering, so it does sound really good, but when you buy food for a week for 2 adults and 2 kids it probably ends up costing as much as a all inclusive holiday. also this does not include flights.

    Does anyone know which airport you'd fly to for this holiday?

    Malaga is the nearest. You can get a coach from there to Marbella.

    Well, It does seem to have strange conditions- such as only couples or families (i.e. it seems no friends or single sex couples).

    The cost is £99 for a 1 bed sleeping 2 people or £149 for a 2 bed sleeping 4 people.

    I'm going for it as on TripAdvisor, the forums seem to give it OK reviews. Mainly quiet and peaceful with a small beach 150m away or a main one a couple a miles away but is served by a bus service.

    What sort of price are the flights?
    2012 wins approx £11,000 including 5k to spend on a holiday :j

    probably a timeshare, I got the same E-mail, I think I've read somewhere about it being timeshare especially with them stipulating over 25's or families only.
    Starting to save £2 coins again, but it is a struggle:rotfl:Not doing very well keep spending them

    It's likely to be timeshare apartments, the name Club gives this away. You'll have to endure a 2 hours sales pitch, but if you can put up with this, you'll have a nice holiday.
    Just my guess, but you might want to research the resort.

    P.S. timeshare rules is that they can't sell to under 25's, hence its 100% timeshare.
