Sandra, I think you are talking about the Banana Tree.  We went in there on the penultimate day of our holiday, having already tried the soup (and other meals) at Blue Palm.

We had soup at the Banana Tree, which was 4.5e and you're right- it was horrible!   The bowls were not warmed so the soup was pretty much cold when we got it and, again, it was overseasoned.  We won't be going back there for food.

We tried the soup at Blue Palm early on in our holiday and it was a completely different story!.   It cost 5e but well worth the extra .50, as you get a nice baguette and butter with it.  Much better than the awful bread rolls at the BT.  It was fantastic- definitely homemade, as we actually saw the chef in the kitchen preparing bits to put in.

We went back there for dinner a few times during our holiday and didn't have a single bad experience!  I'd recommend the Blue Palm burger to anyone who goes- the best burger I have tasted in a long time and great for kids too!  If you're lucky enough to be in Marbella when they have a quiz night, go along!  It was great fun when we went, and like Josie118 said they have great prizes.  And the owners keep some toys and colouring for the children, so it's fine to take them along too.

Overall, we had a great experience with Blue Palm and will definitely be going back and recommending it to everyone who goes to Marbella!
