Excellent location in our favourite part of Los Boliches beach, far enough from the noisiest, most 'undesirable' side of Fuengirola. Room cleanliness and housekeeping staff were brilliant and really accommodating. The room was quiet at night and we weren't disturbed by any outside noises (the previous year at Yaramar we had to have white noise on to mitigate the noise of the elevators all night...). Breakfast options were good but the service was slightly chaotic at times as the room isn't quite large enough for a 'full house' but the staff do their best to turn the tables around as quickly as possible. Poor coffee quality is pretty much the standard across Spain and this was no exception but the variety of bread, fruit and 'hot' options was very much appreciated. We loved that the hotel is pet friendly, even though we couldn't bring our dog. It was nice to meet fellow dog owners and their lovely pooches. The staff overall was great from beginning to end, well done!

-Breakfast experience could be improved in some ways: reducing the wait for tables, reducing noise (didn't see any extra space but a 'family area' could be an option?), reducing waiting time for supplies to be replaced when running out or improving the quality of coffee.

More coffee machines needed

We had a beautiful view of the sea and the activities on the beach. We loved walking the boardwalk and enjoyed their art that was prominent in many parts of the town. The food was varied, plentiful, and good. The staff were pleasant and welcoming in the dining room and worked very hard at keeping everything in tip-top shape. Our room, despite needing some repair, was kept very clean by the room attendants Overall we were pleased with our stay.

I have only one negative thing to say about this property: we arrived around 10:45 - 11:00am and were informed that check in time was 2pm, which we expected. We were then told that we could have our room immediately for a fee. 😒 We stayed at several places on the Costa del Sol and this is the first time we encountered this practice.

Staff was great even though some of them didn't know any English. Breakfast was really nice, good selection of food, with a lovely view of the beach and sea from the huge windows. The bed was OK but not amazing. The reception area was huge and very nicely decorated for Christmas (I was there end of Nov/ start of Dec). The hotel isn't located "down town" but it's right at the beach and close to shops, restaurants and cafés. It's also just a couple of minutes walking distance from the airport train stop.

The hotel room unfortunately looked a bit run down and dirty in places. It would benefit a renovation. The pool area only had sun until around 11am in Nov/Dec. It would have been nice to be able to sit outside and sunbath in the afternoon.

We liked the open spacious lobby/reception area. We liked the cleanliness of the hotel. The towels in the bathroom were good quality. We liked the member of reception staff who helped us find the underground parking and assisted with our luggage.

We didn’t realise that the rooms did not have walk in showers, only a bath. As I have a slight mobility problem I could not get into the bath to have a shower. So 4 nights without a shower. The bathrooms were very shabby. The basin was chipped and when did you last see a bath with a plug on a chain. The bathrooms were in despareate need of a refurbishment. There were no face tissues, no shower caps no shampoo and conditioner just a squeeze bottle that just did everything, which is a cheapskate way of saving money.

The room itself was nice although we should have booked a room with a balcony

The showering facilities were not great. Having to climb into the bath to shower is not ideal and the body/hair wash was broken from the holder. Also, unless you had an early breakfast, there was little variety. Sometimes we had to wait for a cook to make omeletts or fried eggs as they were attending other areas. Two family members arrived for breakfast at 10:30 and almost everything had been cleared away even though we understood breakfast finished at 11:00.

Breakfast v good. Nice selection of fruit. Coffee has improved but a 3 rd coffee machine would help with the queues. Staff v friendly. Lunch menu in bar could be improved for selection.

For two people sharing a room the beds cannot be moved apart due to side table fixed. This is uncomfortable. Also a light over mirror for ladies applying makeup v necessary. Toilet paper was horrible!!!!!!

Breakfast was lovely, if expensive. I guess it caters for people who pile their plates high. We don’t. We just eat what we need. Staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and the drinks were fairly priced. Our final hotel bill was reasonable considering the expense of the one breakfast and dinner we had. We asked for a room with a sea view and a shower, which we got. We were very pleased as not all rooms have both. Thank you.

Our room could’ve been cleaned a bit better. There were tablets on the floor from the previous guests and they remained there throughout our stay.

We know the area very well so chose this hotel because of its location. The staff, reception, cleaning and catering were all very friendly and helpful. As a person who has long suffered from hard beds and uncomfortable pillows in Spain I can honestly say they had the best beds and pillows. The room had two comfortable reading chairs on top of the usual desk and chair. There were loads of options for lighting in the room. The safe and kettle were nice additions and supplies were readily available from reception. Breakfast was served at good times and had plenty of choice for all tastes.

The bathroom, although large, was poorly designed. It was difficult to get in and out of the bath and possibly dangerous if the bath was slippy. Also difficult to reach bath plug because of the wall being used instead of a shower curtain. The wall was not long enough to keep the water from flooding the bathroom floor.

When I booked this hotel in Dec 23 for a stay in April 24, I informed them of our dietary restrictions and asked if they could cater to it. I did not get any reply. I was a bit disappointed. On arrival at the hotel, the reception staff brought out a sheet asking for our dietary restrictions and passed on the information to the kitchen staff. When we went for dinner, Chef Elmar was there and went through the food that was suitable for us. The waiting staff, David, Cmi and all others in the restaurant were equally good and were mindful. The dinner menus were different every day and either Chef Elmar or someone would come and go through the food that was suitable for us. They welcomed us and nothing was a bother for them. Chef Elmar went above and beyond and made food for us that was pure vegetarian. Fried chips for us that were in oil which was all new and have had nothing fried in before. He also fried bread pieces for soup in new oil. We do not have food allergies but are pure vegetarians and try our best to avoid any cross-contamination with non-veg food. This was well looked after and cared for at this hotel. A bit of variety in salads would be advised. The location of the hotel is ideal and fantastic. Train from Malaga airport costs 3.20 euros and the walk to the hotel from Los Boliches railway station is only 4 minutes. A lot of shops and restaurants around the hotel if you want to eat out. The stretch of road in front of the hotel is excellent for raking up 10k steps and more. We went to a local street market 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel was excellent with reasonably priced items and room to haggle. Got my wife a medium-sized carry bag made of cork with a beautiful print. The bag is more for vanity rather than for daily use. It was priced at 25 euros. I got it for 10 euros.

It is my humble advice and a strong recommendation to all the hotels that when serving the food, kindly put veg, vegan and non-veg options on different tables. Try to do the same in the kitchen. This reduces the chances of cross-contamination. However, the non-vegetarians have no fucking clue about cross-contamination and they would NOT BOTHER to use different tongs if veg and non-veg items are placed side by side. I have seen this even in 5-star hotels and this puts me off from putting that food item on my plate further REDUCING the food I can have.
