We had a very nice stay at Marriott Playa Andaluza a few weeks ago.

We are owners at Marbella Beach but traded seasons and were able to get into here.

I prefer Marbella Beach Club. My wife prefers this resort.

Here is a link to our photos.

Indeed the photos are wonderful and give a great overview of Playa . I too own at Marriott Beach Club and have visited both locations many times . Lots of improvements at MBR confirms to me that it is the better resort.
Both Marriotts would rate HIGH in the top 5 in Europe ..

Thanks for the pics; we have definitely added it to our travel list! One question--in pics 30/31 looked like they had a flea market at the resort; does that happen often? If so, summer only? Any good local buys from it?
 
The market was there when we went in February a couple of years ago. I can't remember what the quality of the goods were as I was solely looking for sunglasses (I'd forgotten them, being February I was out of habit wearing them!). From my recollection it was mainly traditional Andalucian wares sold by locals.
 
There aremany flea markets nearby (one every day !) but the one in Playa is weekly and is normally arts crafts carvings etc . Upmarket goods but at a fair price .

Thanks for the pics.

I'm very excited that I just got an exchange confirmation yesterday for a 3BR at Playa Andaluza in early October 2012 (in trade for a 1BR Master unit at DSV2). And I've just made a reservation using SPG points to stay at the Westin Palace in Madrid first, then will fly on to Malaga for our timeshare week. Will try to pick up the air using frequent flyer miles sometime in the next week or two. Should be a great trip!!
