Fuengirola

I don’t know where the good reviews are coming from, but I can say without any doubt that this is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in! We booked through an agency for a school trip to Spain with a group of kids. At check-in, they requested a €20 deposit for each child, which we were not informed about beforehand. They also needed to scan our passports and wanted us to leave all documents there until they were done scanning?? The front desk lady informed us very rudely that it would take more than an hour, so we should come back later! How in the world am I supposed to leave all the IDs with a stranger? It didn’t make sense… Going up to our rooms, it got worse and worse. The whole hotel had a sewer smell; the carpets were completely filthy and ripped. The rooms had cracked walls, nails were sticking out of the floors, and a dead mosquito was in my bed… I felt like I was in some kind of horror movie hotel. Thank God it was only 2 nights! I’m sharing all the pictures to confirm my review…

COOL LUKAS

This is the BEST hotel I've been in. I've been in many and this service and the rooms are amazing👌.the rooms are clean every day and I just love the beds they are comfortable and I could live here.the food is AMAZING if I could i would eat that for breakfast lunch and dinner.the view from the balcony is so BEAUTIFUL you could see a view of the ocean and there are kids activities and 2 bars. Even though it's not season yet the pool is cold but it's Massive. The paintings in the rooms are buetiful.one thing though is that we only get water for lunch and dinner no juice or coffee.but the food is really GOOD. I would definitely come back. The sheets of the bed are perfect and the air-conditioning is warm. I would recommend this hotel to many tourists.

GREAT Hotel for the price. Remember it's off season now , so the swimming pool is closed, kids animation and evening events are off too. But for the price offered you will get a 4 star hotel , in the middle of Fuengirola! And weather in January is between 16-22c so great for long walks or sunbathe if high. We Had a family of 6 , and despite above , we never get bored during our stay. Food is at a high level , as you could expect from a 4 star Hotel ,and I have never seen anyone unhappy out there. A variety of dishes from grilled calamari to chicken , fruits are always present even at breakfast time , and during dinner and supper wine is included in your Full Board basis 😜 so can't complain about that as well. The hotel staff is working very Hard , rooms are cleaned frequently,and all of them are very helpful. Outside of the hotel immediately there are bars and pubs and plenty to choose from ,as the Hotel is in the centre strip of town.There is a Harbour in the front and amusement park at the left. Further away ,in the back streets you could find Spanish Clubs with Live Latino music over the weekends. There is even a zoo nearby, so plenty to do around. I will definitely book this hotel again 😁 as it's in a great location, it's clean and the food is lovely. Thanks for the lovely time.

This place has really friendly staff. The location is brilliant. Could not be better. Now the hotel itself is very dated. The decor in the corridors is falling to pieces in places. We stayed on floor 3 and for the first 4 days there was a rancid smell. I will say that the rooms themselves were kept clean by the staff. So there is no concern there. Breakfast was well catered for. For what you pay it is standard. It would be nice to be able to order some vegetarian sausages, but that has no bearing at all. So in summary. If you plan on being in and around the hotel. Then you may want to look closer. However as a base to explore and sleep. Then I don't really have an issue.

Daniel Kheireddine

Only good thing about the hotel was the location. The service was standard and nothing stood out to me. Went to sleep the first night and woke up with a sore neck and back, the bathrooms smelled awful from when we first got in, the pool was freezing, there was no extra pillows, the bed was rock solid on the second last night me and my girlfriend had to change hotel as we weren’t able to sleep. Woke up to a dead cockroach at the door being eaten by loads of ants. Would stay clear of the hotel.

Ligita Locmele

The room is big. But the trash can is small and 1 pc. There are no air conditioners at all (ventilation can be said not to work). No air changes in the toilet, all "aromas" remain indoors. The cleaning of the rooms is at a low level - they change the towels and clean out the only trash that has been in the house for a week - the dust hasn't been swept, the floors haven't been washed, even though we left a sign on the door. Dust under the beds, it feels like it hasn't been cleaned for months (shoes had slipped underneath)

SPOD Stevens

Nice friendly staff. Hotel is a bit dated and could do with a spruce up although cleaners kept your room and the hotel very clean and tidy. If going again I would go B&B as the food wasn't the best. Quiet area not too far from the beach, train station just behind hotel ( electric so very quiet ) so easy access up and down the coast. Found a few Brits staying there but seemed mainly Dutch and Spanish. All in all, if you want a relatively quiet place and not expensive, I would recommend.

Joanna Edmonds

Just back from a week here and thought the hotel was v.nice. my room was spacious with a great view - cleaning lady was great wanted to clean every day ! People seemed to b cleaning all over. - breakfast more than adequate- didn't eat at night. Reception friendly hotel set in nice grounds. Children's pool was closed for work but adult one was fine. Hotel is right outside the train station but you don't hear anything. Yes the hotel is up a bit of a hill but only for 5mins- v close to beach and shops. Would go again.

I’ve recently returned from another great 10 day holiday at the Hotel Torreblanca. Everything is still fantastic and I can’t wait to return in October. For me, the location is just right, at the eastern side of Fuengirola in a lovely quiet area. It is right next to the Torreblanca train station. A very short walk to the beach, bars, restaurants and shops. If you are travelling by car, then there is an open air carpark which is free. You pay a refundable deposit for the card that opens the barrier. I was lucky to be allocated a room with a frontal view of the sea, it was great. The rooms are spotless, very modern and spacious with plenty of storage space. Mini fridge, safe and good wifi are included in the price. The food is still good with plenty of variety from an international menu. The bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. Even though a lot of guests are all inclusive, as I was, I never waited longer than a couple of minutes to be served with a smile. The pools and gardens are just fantastic with plenty of sun loungers and space, especially at the lower pool and garden area. The management and staff are the most dedicated, efficient, helpful and friendly team I have come across in all of my years of travel. I thank them sincerely for providing me with another wonderful holiday. Stewart M

Just back from a week in this hotel and it worked very well. We flew into Malaga airport and there is a local train line, the C-1, which takes you right from the airport to about 100 metres from the hotel in around 30 minutes. We went all-inclusive, and the food was good, particularly at the price point, we've paid a lot more for an all-inclusive hotel in the past, and in some ways the food in this hotel was better. A highlight of the meals was the seafood, particularly the fish. We had tuna steak, swordfish steak, squid, mussels and mackerel, to name but a few of them. The meat wasn't quite to the same standard, and desserts were rarely to my taste, with a lot of sponge cakes. Possibly the most frustrating thing about the meals was that you had to queue for drinks at lunch and dinner. I can understand it with alcohol and juices, particularly when everyone was not all-inclusive, but I can't understand why they couldn't have a water-cooler so people can help themselves, as we've had elsewhere. The rooms were very good, well-appointed, with good cleaning and included a free electronic safe, which we've had to pay extra for in the past. Balconies were all sea-facing, but overlooked each other, so weren't private. Our room over-looked a large bull statue on a nearby hill. The biggest draw-back was probably the entertainment. It's hard to please everyone, and the singers were good, with a flamenco show one evening which was very good, but a lot of it didn't hit the spot. Singers didn't start until 10 and background music could be turned up very loud, making conversation difficult. A bingo session disintegrated, with a lot of people unsure what was happening. The main issue was that there was only the one space to drink / socialise in the evening. It would have been good to sit somewhere quiet and chat if the entertainment didn't appeal, but we didn't find anywhere we could do that. Staff were very good all week. They were attentive, friendly, and cheerful. They organised a taxi for us in the middle of the night for an early flight, and got to know our preferences for drinks etc. The hotel was reasonably busy, but we never had a problem getting a sunbed. There were two pools and a grass area with sunbeds. We would go out in the morning, back for a late lunch, and then go outside to get some sun and there was always space for us.

Peter Carpenter

This is a three star hotel so don't base your expectations on four or five star places, having said this it is a top quality three star. Rooms are exceptionally clean and the cleaning staff keep the whole hotel in that condition. The food is plentiful and varied and very well presented, the staff are friendly, attentive and the hotel is well positioned for visits to the beach and town. We enjoyed our stay and would have no issues about returning again.

Line Spangenberg Edis

I just went for a holiday With My family. It Was lovely. The staff Was so Nice and welcoming to os All. They gave us champagne on the house because my grandparents had their 50 anniversity. Overall it was just a good holiday and a good place to stay in. It was clean there was good food and a happy staff. So thank u for you're good service. I Will come back for sure 😊

We had a week all inclusive. We can’t fault a thing, the staff are great, Lola, hernan and george were brilliant with the kids and got them involved in all the activities by the pool and the evening ones. There is a large sun bathing garden towards the rear which is where most of the adults go so it leaves the pool area generally quite free for the families with kids so they can run riot. Cleaning is spot on and they clean the room once a day to a high standard. There are a lot of spainish guests (obviously!) some are quite rude but just ignore them. Drinks are perfect, there’s always something to eat as the snack bar opens an hour after the meals finish. The food was alright, but there’s plenty of selection so even the fussiest eater can find something. The beach is very close and if you want to spend a day down there it’s nice. A lot of bad reviews about the life guards, but whilst we were here the hound life guard was brilliant, when the kids were in the pool he would get off his seat and walk around the shallow end they were playing in and keep a close eye on them, he would also come and tell me if he was going for lunch etc so I knew to watch my kids in the pool a little more. We booked a couple trips through tui which seemed quite expensive in the long run, they have Uber here so research your prices and you’ll save some money. Also paloma behind the bar is fantastic and hermosa.

Just got back from Fuengirola. Stayed at the hotel for 7 nights and it was the best week ever! Can not fault the hotel at all. Rooms cleaned daily, fresh towels and bedding. Balcony with sea view. Food and drinks all day long with all inclusive and just an amazing atmosphere. Beautiful place to stay. Will be back soon 🌞⛱️

simon keenan

It took me a good 48 hours to actually like this hotel, the staff were nice and polite, always busy and seemed to work long hours, the hotel was nice, the sunbed area that overlooked the sea was amazing, you couldn't ask for more. Food was pretty much the same thing every day but they did cook extra daily, burgers or other meats and fish, there was a huge selection for all needs, I believe the all inclusive drinks needs to be addressed so people know what's actually included and available, my main real annoyance was the lifts, three lifts doing all floors and floors quite often you had to wait a long time

Chen Boris

First, the hotel advertised themselves with parking bay. It is a paid parking (15 euro?) which is fine, but you will have to park 10 min walk away. Outside looks fantastic but the room and interior is old and unclean. It was facing directly to the residential flat 5m away. We wish to chill at the swimming pool but it was closed while we arrived, so check before you book. Breakfast is horrible. Orange juice was not fresh, food are cold. But the view is nice. Service is okay the only plus

Lauren Fitzpatrick

Just left this hotel after a week stay , the hotel is not fit for running they are under going renovations so there is dust every were the rooms are completely different to what is advertised and when asked where are those rooms and can we get them we were told no as they do not exist (completely false advertisement) the food here is vile breakfast and dinner! After being shown 3 different rooms for us to pick. the room we picked was for 3 people and extremely small , no privacy in the rooms so definitely not suited for a family , we both got no sleep at night as you can hear every thing which is happening out side your room and in the room above you all night and all day!! Receptionist is extremely ignorant when we first arrived so we decided to avoid them during our stay , our shower flooded into the bedroom and when called service they told us there was noting wrong .definitely would not recommend or return to this hotel , all under our door was broken off so draft always in the room , only con to our stay was the view

Dave Burrows

First time back since the pandemic, but the rooms were much better now in terms of refurbishment and the winter room prices were great. Had a wonderful four day break. The sun shone and the location puts you at the heart of everything.

Nicola Scholes

I’ve stayed in this hotel more times than I could count. So it seemed the obvious choice for us to recommend it when we was hosting a wedding In spain last October. We made several trips to the hotel to make arrangements for our guests over several months and the hotel was accommodating on putting us near each other if possible. We had 14 rooms booked by guests. When they started to arrive we noticed the awful treatment by the hotel staff. Sky bar, we was unable to pull seats together to sit and share cocktails, yet spanish guests and people off the street were. Numerous things happened that made me want to make a complaint, 3 days I was going back and forth to speak to a manager, every time I went back (at agreed times) manager not there, finally told they have gone on holiday and won’t be back until after my holiday has finished, no acting or deputy to speak to, so problems unresolved. We had arranged with hotel about photographers for wedding etc, not a problem until the bride in dress went to the sky bar for photos (resident of the hotel) went to have photos taken by the pool. Staff literally ran at her hand in face screaming at her that she’s not allowed photos in the hotel. Now the photographers were local Spaniards and regularly take photos of their brides there. Just general appealing customer service from staff. Cleaning team were lovely and helpful. Also one receptionist also assisted in loaning us an iron, after two days and being told we had to pay house keeping to do it. After 25 years of attending several times a year I feel as though it is somewhere we’d never stay again. I felt embarrassed that we had recommended the place to out guests

Courtney Barrett (CJ Renzo)

A decent hotel located by the beach, but there were a few things to complain about. The rooms have no bedside tables. No kettle in the room. The toilets are open planned with just a small glass screen for very limited privacy. Loud banging late at night. They don't provide an iron, and instead expect you to use their laundry service. Other than the above everything was good, and the rooms were clean.

Kevin Crowley

Lovely spacious and very clean hotel. Staff are very friendly and the food is really nice. Only stopped here for 1 night passing through but everything was perfect and there's also a huge shopping centre right next door for anything needed.

Shanta Foley

Great family hotel very clean and tidy with excellent staff and reasonably priced food and drinks menu. A short stroll to the beach and restaurants. Fantastic location with all amenities on your doorstep. I would definitely return and recommend.

Mark Kelly

We (2 adults & 2 late teens) spent 5 nights over New years here. The rooms are basic but a good size. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is a bit out of town, but it's a nice walk or bus stop right outside the door. Nice shopping center to the rear with a good supermarket and restaurants. Would recommend

Rob Churchill

For us great location as we like walking. However local buses available outside the front door roughly every 30 minutes. Large shopping, cinema complex less than 4 minute walk away. We were self-catering therefore cooked chicken available from Carr 4 across the road. Last week of our holiday we found out their is a happy hour at the bar early evening.

Rose Reavey

Just returned on 09/04/24. This Hotel is fabulous. Firstly, the Staff are all amazing. The reception staff, bar staff, café staff and cleaning staff are second to none. The pool area is fastidiously clean and checked by staff regularly. The food is a good standard. I'd like to thank everyone involved in our wonderful stay. In particular to everyone who helped us when we missed our flight home on Saturday (not our fault). You dealt with a damsel in distress perfectly. See you again soon. Muchos gracias xxxx

deborah painter

The hotel is typically 🇪🇸 Spanish, and it is really nice, all very clean. Large room with walk-in shower all lovely and clean. I was on the 2nd floor, and this was fine, nice and quiet. I visited in October 2023, and I felt very safe there. There is also a small swimming pool. Access to the hotel is via a lift, which I wasn't sure about, but it was OK. Close to the bus 🚌 station, a short walk to the train station, and about 10 minutes to the beach ⛱️

Wayne Walpole

Excellent staff. All of your needs and questions taken care of with great enthusiasm. Very clean hotel with the housekeeping staff always paying attention to even the smallest details. Great location close the beach and shopping.

James H.

Great location and good value too. Clean room albeit not the most modern. WiFi was excellent. 24hr check was v helpful given time of arrival. Nice homely feel to the place

Robert Denham

Excellent hotel, walking distance to the beach etc. Staff so nice, room so clean. Highly recommend.

Cath P.

Arrived before lunch, hoping to drop off luggage, but our room was ready, spacious room, everything here seems lovely and clean. Lovely man on reception, very helpful. Beautiful Spanish courtyard hotel in the middle of town but you wouldn't know.

Darren Walsh

Lovely place with a great breakfast offering. You can't ask for a better location. As I was golfing on my week, maybe the hotel could start breakfast a little earlier as 8am is a little late. Overall, it was a great stay

Ashley

If I could give 0 stars I would unfortunately I can’t. Our experience at hotel PYR significantly ruined our time here in Fuengirola. The hotel beds were awful and crippling that my back was in pain due to the lack of support from the bed. On our last night in the hotel we had to deal with the most selfish and inconsiderate next door neighbours who had no regard for anyone else except themselves. They were very drunk and obnoxious, speaking at loud volumes and laughing hysterically at 3AM. We called reception to inform them of the disturbance. The first time they sent someone up to tell them to be quiet. After that the people next door began speaking even louder and banging on our wall while laughing as if it’s a joke to them. We called reception the second time as it was absolutely ridiculous having to deal with such immature and inconsiderate behaviour. Reception said they would deal with it but nothing was done as the people next door continued talking and laughing loudly. At this point we were very upset and annoyed as this was absurd. We called reception the THIRD time and still nothing had be done. The noise persisted till 6 in the morning. We had an early flight to catch and were extremely sleep deprived at that point so we had no choice but to endure it. We’re extremely disappointed in the way the staff handled this situation. It’s such a shame as we stayed in this hotel previously when we were in Fuengirola but this will be the last time we’re staying here. The lack of action from the staff and care for their customers is appalling. They treat it as if it’s a common thing that happens and we should just deal with it. If you do plan on staying at this hotel, bear in mind you’ll be dealing with a crippled back due to the bed and incredibly loud noises from drunk people.

Simon Lee

The staff were helpful and friendly, but I can’t say I felt staying here was great value when I think of what I could’ve got for just a little more down the road. The 1st floor room had a decent bathroom, but the rest of the place felt “cheap and cheerful”. The glass divider at the end of the balcony was cracked, the decor felt like it was built to withstand potential damage rather than be aesthetically pleasing and the view half overlooked a wall that the pool area sat on top of. I’m pleased I was only staying one night. If you do stay here, I hugely recommend insisting you have a room on a higher level to avoid having a balcony that feels like you’re living in a basement flat.

Consuelo Manzano

This hotel is wonderful. The staff is very kind. The room was big and with a wonderful view. It is located at the heart of Fuengirola, very close to the beach, shops, restaurants and pubs... I definitely recommend it!

Val Mitchell

We rented an apartment from a private owner via Airbnb. The apartment and patio are very spacious and well equipped. The building has, bar, pool, bistro so everything you need it is near the marina and not far from the town.

Sarka Papouskova

Easy to get to by car or by train. Good breakfast, clean rooms. Lovely location. It was good value for money. One minus: bathroom in our room needed upgrade.

Fredrik Nilsson

Nice room and service. Breakfast kind of expensive and not very nice environment to eat. Very loud and not so much to choose from.

Linn Kavita Lønningen

Perfect way to the beach and the sea 😀. A bit annoying that you should go down in the windy street to smoke, instead of the balcony, but to respect your neighbours I guess it's better 😉. My first day here, so I hope the week will bring me the sun that my skin and bones, really need ❤️.

Samantha Owen

Rooms are clean, tidy and spacious, the hotel staff are friendly and helpful, the hotel is in a great location near the beach and train station. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning in the near future.

Dr Mohanned A Disher

Nice hotel located directly in front of the beach of Fuengirola , about 200 m walking. Room was spacious and very clean although it was standard and has no sea view. Markets and shopping centers are very near and one can shop while walking around Nearby restaurants Walking on the beach is very attractive activity Service is good Cleanness is excellent Breakfast is varied, organized and delicious. The most attractive are the evening folklore activities presented in the hotel, very interesting and amazing shows. 🙁I stayed three nights: one day there was no room service!! And I left my shirt in the specified bag for ironing but they didn’t take it.

Dr J B London uk

Great hotel, friendly staff, breakfast was great with plenty of choice, indoor pool and spa was amazing. Rooms were clean and decent size, great location and was a lovely walk to restaurants and shops, only downside was the outdoor pool was not heated and was to cold to swim in, plenty of sun beds. I would say it’s the best hotel in Fuengirola as it’s perfectly out of the way from the crowds and noise, will definitely return.

Ann Margaret Hamill

Loved staying here at the end of November the hotel is elegant and well kept with beautiful etiquette from the main entrance, to the reception and into the halls. The double room was immaculate and housekeeping was very good. Beautiful view from the balcony and weather was great which made it better. Restaurant in the hotel is fantastic nice healthy selections of food, fruit and vegetables. Pool is excellent and right beside the beach which is so nice will most definitely be visiting again 100/ out of 100!!

Kevin C

From check-in to checkout, everything was fantastic. The receptionists were polite, helpful and professional. The breakfast buffet was varied and fresh and the poolside areas were refreshing. The saunas and jacuzzi in the spa were relaxing as were the morning strolls on the beach. This is definitely a hotel you won’t want to miss!

Susan Kuck

Excellent location, full breakfast buffet with made to order omelettes, anything you could possible want for breakfast. Friendly staff, clean premises. The only complaint we have is the soundproofing of the rooms. We could hear every word our neighbours were saying as well as which TV programme they were watching. We had an excellent stay.

Ronny Van Cutsem

Ideal hotel to visit the Castillo, make a long walk on the 8 km paseo and visit town centre with its lots of Cosy restaurants. Be sure to book a room in the Casares aisle, no noise of cars and view on the sea.

Michaela Doughty

Hotel looks modern. We stayed in the middle of April. There wasn't enough stuff to run it. Both pool bars and kitchen were closed 5 days out of 7. We booked cabana for all 7 days, it was supposed to include service but we ended up going to the hotel bar for our drinks and food due to the bars closure. Luckily there was a big kiosk right outside the hotel and we could buy ice creams, drinks there, even that one of the closed pool bars had freezer full of ice creams! (We spend quite lots of money in the outside kiosk eventually as the hotel seemed to have no need to sale anything to its hotel guests!) The last two days of our stay, they closed the little pool by our cabana and didn't inform us about it, it was apparently due to its technical issues. Pools are both not heated!!! The stuff doesn't speak much English. They speak better English in the restaurants outside the hotel. The Arrozante restaurant is open only Friday till Sunday. Otherwise the food options at the hotel bar during day are pretty limited. My husband and I have both professional hospitality background and we would never rated it 4 stars hotel, sadly. Hotel has amazing potential to deliver much more but not with the current management attitude and work ethic. Clearly the owners are satisfied with its turnover...

Rob Ford

An excellent hotel, nothing too much trouble for the staff. Rooms very clean, cleaned every day. Food, both the breakfast and evening meal provided a great choice, perfectly presented and really tasty and satisfying. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mike Mackenzie

Functional and well-equipped hotel, full of Brits - you decide whether that's a good thing! Ideal location as a base for other activities - particularly golf with 10 courses within 20 min drive. Plentiful buffet breakfast, and clean and tidy rooms. Pool looked good and an amount of sun beds. Good value

Holly Walls

Brilliant hotel at a great price. We stayed here for 4 nights and had a lovely stay. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, the room was also clean and a good size, bathroom lovely also. Pool was nice and we never struggled to get a sun lounger even later in the morning. Breakfast had a good selection each day. Staff were very friendly. I would recommend checking in online before arrival if possible, saves time and they ask for your preferences such as floor and bed set up and they accommodated our preferences. Hotel is right by the promenade and seafront, great location as slightly away from the noisy part of town but within a 5 min walk. We would definitely stay here again on our return to fuengirola.

Bánki Zsolt

We enjoyed so much the two rooms apartman with a beautiful view to the see. The breakfast is really full range and tasty (except the coffee). Location is simply perfect and the pools are great. We will definitely return.

Laurence Berg

Where to start. Firstly this hotel is not 4star, we have travelled extensively and this hotel is barely two star. On a positive, the rooms are spacious but with very little furniture, the hotel is very clean generally and the staff are all very friendly and accommodating. That said, there is virtually no lobby as you would expect in a 4 star hotel. There is no gym and just one pool table which is the sum total of the entertainment on offer. The pool is very clean and with a minimum of chemicals in it to make swimming pleasant, but the grounds are very limited in size. The hotel is on a motorway which means if you have your bedroom window open at night the traffic noise is constant till about 1 am. The breakfast is good with a good choice although served cold. There is a microwave available to heat up your full English ( no fried tomatoes or mushrooms). The evening meal is virtually beyond description with ham and cheese sandwiches a regular offering. The selection is repetitive, thoughtless and limited. Examples are a lettuce leaf with sliced garlic on it, mechanically reformed beef slices which you can push your finger through, daily soup which is the same watery consistency, colour and flavour every day (with a different daily name), small square slices of fish with a topping and much more I can’t be bothered to name. For pudding if you like plain jelly, angel delight and tinned fruit with very small squares of cheap cake you will be in heaven. No fresh fruit was on offer ( bananas, apples etc) although occasionally there was pealed oranges ( so you can’t take them to your room to eat later) and sliced kiwi. My advice therefore is to go B and B and eat out at the many restaurants on the sea front which would be cheaper too. My main complaint apart from the above is that this is NOT a four star hotel. We looked at several real four star hotels in the area and they were a totally different class. I hope this review proves useful to you.

Beverley Seaton

We have just come back from a week's holiday at this hotel. Rooms are spacious, shower was good. Cleaners were fantastic, they did a really good job, cannot fault them at all. I cannot comment on the food, as we never eat there. There is so much choice along the beach and also down some of the back streets around old Los boliches, that we usually ate out. Hotel is in a fantastic location, cross the main road (crossing very close to hotel), cut through the walkway and you are next too the beach. It literally took us less than 5 minutes to get too the beach. This hotel is in such a great location, train station close by. All in all this hotel suited us down too the ground. Do not read the negative comments of other reviews, a holiday is really what you make it. Thank you hotel mainare playa.

mr Carl

From 16th-23rd September me and my partner Samantha stopped here loved it nice hotel nice staff loved the room facing the pool loads of space great location hoping to come back around the same time next year same hotel to! Gutted when i got back to sunny england….🤣 thank you see you next time! Ps sorry for not filling the review paper thing in from the room was out at 3am to malaga airport and it slipped my mind half way there! Thanks again

Lenny Davidson

We stayed for a week in September,room is large,however could have maybe a sofa and more power points,nice large balcony tho. We paid for a Lateral view but on arrival is was a side sea view. Nice location 5 minutes to beach,however busy road in between,small pool which was cold,but nice lounging area. The food I have to say was awful,every meal we had which was breakfast and dinner was not even warm,the girl said use the microwave..REALLY??..On dinner menu one night there was chicken nuggets!!..COME ON REALLY??.. Also on the dinner menu was ham and cheese sandwiches...I give up!! In my experience this is not 4 star,but 3 star(just).. Nice area and beach but will not be back ,goodbye.

Anna Thompson

Just home after staying a week here at Mainare Playa Hotel Fuengirola. The rooms are spacious and basic, good sized balcony, you have a small fridge, good size beds (although extremely hard, I found them uncomfortable for my back), air con, personally because there is so much space, they could have more drawers to store your clothes, but that is just my opinion. Would recommend bringing a few hangers, they have 6 per room. We had a sea view, which was more of a slit of the beach between two other hotels, but was nice regardless. This hotel is beside a busy road, we left our balcony door open for fresh air and the noise of the cars is loud. In saying that, once you easily cross the road by the lights right outside the hotel, you are 3 mins from the beach, and it is lovely, I think it is the best area of the beach too. Other areas where very rocky in the water, also to rend a bed on the beach was €6.00 pp. Bargain for the day. Back to the hotel! Breakfast was lovely, freshly made omelets, pancakes or churros, alongside fresh watermelon and options for a warm breakfast too. Great start to the day and breakfast was served until 11am! The pool doesn't open until 10.30am, we prefer the beach, but we generally saw eager awaiting children for it to open. The hotel is clean, staff are friendly. I do need to mention WiFi. It was terrible, our room on the third floor barely received connection, annoying as I relied on it. Along the beach front, 5 mins from the hotel, there is a shop to buy water etc. The train station is a 10 min walk away, and you are close to a route along the mountain. It's a good few hours walk, it was lovely. You are close to lots of lovely restaurants and bars, Oscar's bar was great! You are between 15-20mims from the centre of Fuengirola. Look out for Churros and noodles, absolutely amazing!
