Fuengirola

Geoff Batchelor

Liked the large rooms, both public spaces and bedrooms. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food on the buffet a bit variable, but always something good to eat. On our deal, very reasonable in price.

Paul James

The hotel is centrally located, opp the marina and very close to the beach. We didn't get noise from the bars and the food and drinks were fab. Don't believe the hype on trip advisor as it simply isn't true. The draw back is the pool area, but the beach is opposite. So no drama. The staff try their hardest and are really helpful. The hotel is massive. If you want 5 star, book a five star, The hotel is dated in parts but no different to many.

Unfortunately not somewhere I'd stay again, very close to all the bars and clubs that come alive at 6pm til gone 3am. That's being said the location is ideal for those wanting the beach or harbour. The room it's self was run down, mold around the air con on the walls, questionable stains on curtains, broken toilet seat, hair dryer that looks like it's from the 80s and 2 plug sockets 1 of which was in the bathroom. If I did speak with staff they were always friendly and helpful. The breakfast was varied from cereal to cold meats! 3 stars overall it needs a face lift looked nothing like the photos.

Terry O'Brien

Maybe it was a 4 star 30 years ago. Today more of a 2 star it's a bit tired all round. Tidying up the pool would be a good idea. Pool bar service is good. Breakfast adequate but choices are a bit low quality. The location though is excellent.

My friend and I stayed at Las Palmeras last month for a short girls holiday. We chose this hotel mainly for its location right next to the beach and close to restaurants and shops. Plus breakfast was included. For the price, especially compared to nearby options, it was a great deal. We were given a room on the 8th floor with a balcony, which gave us a lovely view of the sea, harbour and pool area. However, the hotel itself does feel quite dated, particularly in the hallways and some of the in-room amenities. For example, the hairdryer in our room has definitely seen better days and could use a replacement. The pool area was a nice spot to relax, but the sunbeds were not the most comfortable. They’re quite basic with no option to adjust the backrest, so lying on them for extended periods wasnt ideal. If you’re looking for a little more comfort poolside, that might be a bit disappointing. All in all, if you're on a budget and prioritise location and affordability over luxury, this hotel is a solid option. Just keep in mind that it’s a bit outdated and if you don’t mind that, it’s a great spot for an affordable beach holiday.

I'm not long back from my fourth visit, this year, to The Hotel Torreblanca and I absolutely loved it. In my opinion, it is the best hotel in Fuengirola, by far. The staff in ALL departments are really fantastic. The rooms are very spacious, modern and clean with most, if not all, having a sea view. I was allocated a room at the front with a wonderful view. The room price includes a safe, a fridge and wifi. The food is delicious at every meal. The menu is international and varied. I was on the All Inclusive package and the choice of drinks is great, including cocktails. If you prefer mainstream brands then there is a supplement. Both pools are well kept and there is a lifeguard on duty all day. The gardens are spacious and there was never an issue in obtaining a sun lounger. Once again, I sincerely thank the management and staff for providing me with a truly magnificent holiday. I can't wait until I visit next year. Kindest regards, Stewart M

It's been my second time vacationing at this hotel, the only thing I would complain about is the elevator, but they have good stairs, help you walk off all the delicious food you can eat in their dining area. The food is good (not great) I always looked forward to breakfast, lunch and dinner time, the in house entertainment was good, even the mini disco (but they could add more songs). It is very close to the beach (playa) and you can go and come as you please (clean and dirty) I purposely flipped all the beds to see what they would do, but when I got back all was neatly made back up and yes I did apologize and gave a tip. The reception was very polite, respectful and helpful in giving me instructions on how to travel (bus or train) and how much it will cost. By the way the hotel is not only close to the beach but right next to a train station and bus stops (multiple) so going out from there is very easy and safe. Again if you are on a budget, want to go to Spain at a hotel close to the beach, do an all inclusive stay so you don't have to spend money on food and drink and see the city center, I would highly recommend staying here, I will definitely be staying here again in the future. And when I do I might add to this review or just make a new one...

Enjoyed a wonderful relaxing weekend here with my family. The twin room family suite was perfect for us, giving plenty of space for everyone to have fun. Great seas views from the balcony (our room was on the 8th floor). The swimming pools and gardens were beautifully kept, and the snack bar service means we were never hungry or thirsty. We stayed full board, and the meals were all buffet style. The extensive choices on offer at all mealtimes meant everyone found something they loved. Enjoyed live music and a flamenco dancing show in the evenings in the bar, there´s something on nearly every night and through the summer holidays they run a kids club. The location was perfect for us 5-minute walk to the beach (its at the quieter end of Fuengirola so nice and quiet in the evenings. Right next to the train station that runs from Fuengirola to Málaga, making it super easy to do a day trip to the city. Service was very friendly and attentive, especially towards the kids. Had a great time and look forward to repeating the experience.

penny Chappell

Love this hotel , rooms are spacious and very clean . Breakfast is a buffet with a lot of choice and constantly filled up . Staff are all lovely. A couple of minutes away from the beach , bars and restaurants and right next to the train station . Absolutely brilliant location.

Karolina Kowieska

When I read the reviews, I was a little scared and negative! Unfortunately, I don't know what these people expected because the hotel is clean, large, the food is very good, located right next to the station from which you can get to Malaga. The only downside are tourists camping at the pool gate, as if there was not enough space for them, which is of course nonsense, there are enough sunbeds and everyone will find a place for themselves! The service is very nice! I highly recommend !

Pamela Ward

We had a lovely stay at Globales Gardenia this past week. The staff were very friendly and helpful, going out of their way to help. They all smiled and chatted to our 2 year old son, who also seemed to really enjoy his stay. The room was very clean and spacious, and the staff did a great job of keeping the dining area clean throughout the day. We were very impressed with the staff and the hotel.

Teagan Price

This hotel gets all five stars for me. It was the perfect location, where you walk out the back exit onto the beachfront. Food was above average, we stayed all inclusive and we never went hungry, there was options for everyone such as: salad bar, fresh fruit and veg, meat, pasta, different meals inclusive to the day, a griddle where you can ask the chef to cook whichever fresh meats were on that day and so much more. The alcohol drinks included in all inclusive were 6 cocktail choices, vodka, rum, whiskey, and various others. The soft drinks were Pepsi max and normal Pepsi, orange and lemon “fanta”, sprite, and ice tea. Tea, coffee and various fruit juices were also available. For entertainment, they had a schedule fully filled with games throughout the day, such as, French boules, mini golf, shuffleboard, darts, ping pong, shooting and archery. These were so fun and popular with the other guests, I’m in my 20s and we said no at first but by the second day we were loving the games and the competition with them there people. The staff were beyond lovely, everyone was so welcoming and you can truly tell they love their jobs, George, Lola and their colleague doing the games and entertainment sealed the deal for me, they will be the reason we will return at any chance we get. The location is around 7 minutes from the town centre on the bus (€1.20 per person) and taxi is around €6. You have plenty of shops and restaurants next to the hotel so we didn’t tend to go into town too much. The beaches are lovely, and our room has the perfect view of the seafront. We stayed in SEPTEMBER 2024 and we had no problems with the busy times or sun bed availability, the pool was clean and there are multiple bars open for guests. All in all, a great stay and we have already booked for next year ☀️

Kirsty West

This was my second stay in this hotel. The accommodation is basic but very clean and the beds are comfortable. Air conditioning takes a while to cool the room, we left the power card plugged in for an hour or so before getting ready for evenings. Food is ok but as with our first stay, it was often cold and they really need to find a way to keep hot food hot. There is a good variety of food but generally its quite bland. The addition of the chef cooking fresh on the griddle was good. Omelette and burger I had from there were very good. The salad choices are lovely. Some snacks available during the day, cake, fruit etc. New pool bar is nice. Choice of all inclusive drinks could be better. Entertainment - either the acoustics in the lounge room are awful or the sound system needs looking into. It was really difficult to hear what was being said over the microphone. Trying to hear quiz questions for example. Pillars in the room mean that if you miss out on one of the few tables in the middle, you are going to struggle to see the acts. The animation team work really hard day and night and are brilliant. Lola is hilarious! The external acts we saw though weren't so good. This may have been partially due to the sound problems in the room. There are loads of sun loungers, although as with most resorts, there are people claiming beds early in the morning. That said, we never had a problem finding a space or a bed for the day. There are several areas to set yourself up for sun bathing, poolside or in the gardens. The beach is just across the road too. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Overall I enjoyed my stay but doubt I will stay a third time and would probably go for a 4 or 5 star option next time.

Chris Watson

We have been to a Globales group hotel before, so when picking a hotel in Fuengirola, it seemed the one to pick after the excellent service, food, and overall experience we had last time. Check-in was painless and room ready, and the seventh floor, where the view was great ( see pic ) Seeing we were half board and we arrived at 2 pm, couldn't use the restaurant but was offered All inclusive, pay for 5 and get 7, we declinned. Price wasn't given. Later that day, we had an hour on the sun beds before shower and evening meal. There are lots of sun beds even in the morning. Food at the evening was okay but could have been a lot hotter, and when a tray was empty, it should have been refilled. Sadly, if you went late, this didn't happen. That was the same at breakfast. This let down the hotel greatly Food is important !!!! We didn't see any entertainment, but there was some every night. After 10 p.m., adults only A little away from the main town but bus service good and only 1.20 euros one way Taxi back 10. Would I go back? Probably not Gardens, room, brilliant shower, and hotel staff very happy to help though

Frank Harley

This hotel is excellent in my opinion definitely 4 star standard. Staff were helpful, attentive and polite. Our room was spotlessly cleaned everyday as was the entire hotel. Food was excellent particularly the live cooking stations, although could be a little repeatative at times especially the snack bar which had the same choice everyday. Evening entertainment was first class the hotel even hired in some external acts who were great in particular the male singing trio who were fantastic. The location is great near enough to get to everything but just away enough to get a peaceful night sleep in the very comfortable beds. My only very light criticism would be that 35 euros for a safe for the week seemed expensive and a fridge in room would be nice, think hotel would benefit from considering including these. All in all a great stay highly recommended and definitely would return.

Charlotte Gunning

Great location for all you want and easy to find from train station. Hotel nice and clean throughout. Rooms can do with updating as very basic. Walls are thin so can hear other guests. Bathroom very small and kept hitting head on wall when using the toilet. Housekeeping staff very friendly and serviced room every day. Sky bar staff rude don't bother. Only one receptionist was friendly and that was on checking in (didn't get her name) all the others were arrogant. Nice touch from hotel manager for birthday where we were given a bottle of bubbles to drink.

Sadie Dolphin

This hotel is beautiful. Don't listen to other reviews. The room was great for just 2 of us ( room only ) the beach is a stones throw away and all the restaurants and bars on your doorstep. Ideal location. The pool is lovely and at night it's a beautiful bar. The room's are cleaned everyday with fresh towels and bedding. It was my special birthday whilst I was there and they bought me a bottle of prosecco to my room with a lovely note wishing me a happy birthday, which I thought was a lovely gesture. You also have a small fridge in the room, so we went to the supermarket to get bottles of water. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Andi Taylor

Great hotel for the money, very central so great location and just behind it is what's known as "fish alley" which is full of great restaurants of all different varieties. The rooms are a good size and clean although do lack storage for your clothes, we only went for 5 nights and we had to leave a lot of our clothes in the suitcase. No bedside cabinets which would help. The sky bar is a great addition to the hotel, we never struggled to get sun beds although with it been November the temperatures were not high, but pleasant. The sky bar drinks are really expensive I thought compared to other bars near by €6 a pint when it's half that most other places. I think the bar should be discounted for hotel guests as we would have used the bar a lot more if it was better priced. The service at the bar was frustrating too, if you went to the bar you got told to sit down and that it's table service, but if you wanted a drink the only bar staff member who actually walked round the pool area was Daniel, by far the best bar man who actually gave good customer service, I found the rest quite rude at times. Overall I would stay here again if the price was right, although we did have some rowdy guests on a couple of nights waking us up in the small hours playing loud music.

Ken Anderson

Very clean hotel and staff very friendly and helpful. Great walk in powerful shower ...rooms cleaned daily. Nice balcony with a lovely view. Lovely rooftop pool with sky bar. Our one complaint is about the air conditioning...it is not extra to pay for but in all honesty it is non existent! We stayed in August and it was very hot but our room was never cool, night or day. The aircon units look very dated and maybe need upgraded. It is a shame because it would put me off staying here again, as it was difficult to sleep at night. Our daughter's room was the same. However, if this was improved we would have no hesitation to return.

Lisa Wright

Here as part of a group of 6 women (various ages). We went to the roof terrace bar and pool and sat together in our group of 6 on the sun loungers. There was only a few other people there when we arrived at 10:30am. Bar staff member asked us not to move any of the sun loungers - we hadn't moved any simply pushed them closer together. At 12:30pm we were told to leave the staff member who was with a security guard. We asked why as we weren't causing a nuisance of ourselves and we had been there from 10:30am. We were told it was because we were not allowed to move the sun loungers beside each other. The staff were very rude towards us and we had other guests defending us as we had done nothing wrong. I have never stayed in a hotel where guests have not been allowed to push sun loungers beside one another and there are no signs up anywhere stating that this cannot be done. While we were getting our things to leave, others (not British) were moving sun loungers around in front of the bar manager and member of staff who asked us to leave . This was pointed out to them and nothing was done until it was highlighted for a 3rd time when the member of staff (I believe his name is Pedro) pulled the sun loungers back and asked us if we were happy! Not a hotel recommended for groups larger than 2 people if you want to chill by the pool together!

Simon Watts

Fantastic hotel great location friendly staff always clean. Had a slight issue with our air con leaking mentioned it to the maids went to the pool when we came back to engineers already in the room with it off the wall and fixed it. Family room was a great price stayed for 9 night in July will definitely be our go too next time we go to this part of Spain. Only down side is not enough subbed at the pool and people always put towels on then even though the hotel has a no reserving policy but it isn’t enforced.

Andrea Holyman

Lovely little find, absolutely brilliant location and yet so quiet! 2mins from bus and train station. The rooms are clean, lots of storage, large bathroom, tea tray is 10e which was worth it. Hard beds and no views, our room was dark and the window was frosted over so you couldn't see out but it was ok as we didn't spend much time there. Good aircon! Beach towel hire 3e. Ate in the restaurant the first morning which was not the best but just across tge rd is a lovely bakery which you can sit in and eat at.

Esther

This hotel is a cheap hotel with bad service and the room is completely different from the picture. I went around 12:30pm. I was given room next to huge housekeeping room with two stories. I thought it will be very noise. I asked to change other room. The blond middle aged woman gave me another room. It was 10 min walk through halls like maze. The room was so small no desks or anything and the window was facing the hallway. I came back exhausted carrying luggages but asked politely is there no other room available. The woman blamed me that many people are waiting behind. It was ridiculous because I was waiting for other guest as well and talked only briefly. She never felt sorry for giving me such rooms. I don’t expect apology. The room had no wifi connection. This female receptionist is mean inside while acting friendly outside.

Yvonne Paterson

We are just home from our third time staying in Las Rampas. We first stayed in October 23 and this hotel is in a location close to everything, - beaches, bars, restaurants, train and bus stations. The hotel is very clean, and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Our stay was room only so can’t comment on the restaurant. A wee gem in the centre of Fuengirola.

Real Restaurant Inspector

I love this hotel but it's falling apart and it needs to be repaired.Someone needs to buy it. And show it some love. It's position is amazing, and all the swimming pools that used to be there would be amazing. If they were only restored, just like el Puerto hotel

amy heather

I went for my thirteen birthday back in April of 2023. The rooms were nice and clean, however my friends bathroom has a cockroach in it but they got rid of it quickly so the service was good. The food was good and stuff like that and they sun me happy birthday but they could go around the pools

Steph M-H

Stayed here for a 10 day break after previous staying here. On first day Lifeguard gave our boys two blow up rings, Unfortunately, these popped so we replaced them for slightly smaller ones but apparently these were not allowed in the pool after a previous five days of using rings, just because these were now not allowed!! even though other people were using rings, the lifeguard could not tell us what size was allowed in the pool!! 🚫 nor are footballs or frisbee… Even though I saw people using these too… not consistent with their rules!!! Reception told us not all lifeguards follow the same rules… Unfortunately we got the jobs worth. Even though they’re signage saying no footballs the lifeguard told us that these were out of date rules, rules were made by management and management said rules were made by lifeguards… who knows, made up on the day depending on who’s working. I would definitely get it if there was a lot of people in the pool at the time, but there was hardly anyone in there. This meant my younger son couldn’t use the deep-end which ruined our holiday. If you want a fun family holiday, this is probably not the place unless your kids like swimming lengths up and down the pool. The food is cheap and not all that!! There is a hyper market over the road which is better quality. The way they dealt with this issue unfortunately we would not stay here again, wish I’d read some of the other reviews before I rebooked it.

Carla Everard

Had a brilliant time as a family of 19 people. Plenty of beds by the pool, rooms were very spacious and clean. Poolside bar food was brilliant, however cost for a large Coca Cola was €3.50. The pool bar stops serving food at 5pm which is wayy too early, as the inside bar only does pizzas then until they open at 7pm. Nice walking distance from the beach and pool was always spotless. Big shout out to the entertainment crew, they were incredible the whole week especially Silvia!

Steven Blyth

I would say the best hotel in the area for value, cleanliness, good food and excellent service. And a special thank you to SIAD for his personality and professionalism each morning at breakfast. Highly recommended 5⭐️

Alan Smith

Stayed here for 10 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff are friendly and speak English. Great pool with a bar and plenty of sun beds around it. Happy hour is 5 till 7 and they have some entertainment on every day (except Sunday). There's a big shopping centre next to the complex which is handy. There's a football pitch, basketball court, table tennis, pool table, air hockey and also there's a games room down in the basement, so plenty for the kids to keep them occupied.

Bill Shafer

Best hotel! Clean, ample room with nice bathroom. Small refrigerator, kettle, and cold air conditioning! Easy, safe 2 block walk from train station. Underground parking on site for €20. There is a small market next-door to pick up water and necessities, and a supermarket located by the train station. Everyone speaks English. Beautiful views, definitely get a balcony, could sit there forever.

Kathrin Bauer

Very nice staff and hotel, really felt like home. The reception was extreme friendly also the cleaning staff. Very nice view also and privacy. I would recommend the hotel

Rory van Eden

With people smoking on their balconies we found the smoke coming into our room. Nothing was done about this. So we had to have our door closed - pointless to have a balcony with a view. We had no placard with numbers to call reception if there was a problem. Second last night a really aggressive drunk idiot tried to enter our room and we had no means to call anyone. Breakfast staff over all were quite rude and dismissive. None of them had our room number which seemed to cause a huff. From the unnecessary stress of prepayment which was entirely the hotels error and fault it’s safe to say this hotel has changed remarkably over the two years when we last here. I’d avoid this place honestly, there is no value for money, and I’d rather not be treated any less than someone of this country.

traveller

Location is ok. The view in front is the only positive about this hotel. Rooms are a bit outdated. See picture from window door gokng to the terrace. There's hole. Bathroom very small. Restaurant is a big disappointment. Small choice. One coffee machine only for all guests. The cook who is supposed to make a fried egg at breakfast is absent all the time!!! Never seen before this lousy cook and I travel a lot. At a moment mayonaise was empty. I draw it to the attention of the manager. I thought they will fill it in with a new one... no way: 1 hour later still no mayonaise. 3 days later: still no mayo! The restaurant also serves fluffy (old) vegatables and other stuff from previous days. Big disappointment ! Restaurant is a serious turn-off here.

john gaughan

Lovely hotel exceptionally clean throughout. Food was excellent and staff were also. Would highly recommend and room views were all along the beach

CY N

great central by beach half hotel half private owners. beautiful secure private pool for residents only with key card access and lifeguard. cafe too by pool. buffet breakfast amazing at extra cost good value

Ann Simpson

We love the location of this hotel and have stayed here 4 times now, first time of breakfast couldn’t fault plenty to choose from, on site pool fab can get busy on the loungers but we never didn’t get out to the pool, plenty of food places to eat away from the hotel. Hotel room we had a one bed apartment - plenty of room, updated shower, air con, mini kitchen. Only downside is next time we stay we won’t be wanting the lower floor rooms that back onto the pool - on a night time there are two clubs (for men) which wasn’t really for my kids eyes when sat out on the balcony which isn’t the hotels fault - they can’t control the clubs in the vicinity. Everything is great about the hotel, staff are so friendly and helpful and the daily cleaners that we saw were super. Will be back again later this year hopefully

awy schapira

If the htel seems of good quality/ price, for the first night in the hotel I have the followig poitto raise: the room and the terrasse are 100%, but in the evening while we were at the hotel s restaurant we got a phone call from the réception (Monika) requesting us to urgently bring down the trolley used to bring our luggage (and was left in the room by the same Monika). We are both disable and when I I told her that we are thus unable to do so, while still in the restaurant as well, she heavily insisted and than just hung off, Please teach her customer relations and politeness, This receptionist is not suited for a 3 star hotel,

Linet Khodabakhshi

One positive, great location. Everything else is a disaster. Very RUDE staff in the reception and especially by the pool especially. Rude people who seem to own apartments in the hotel and make up rules as they go with the staff. The staff is impossible to communicate with due to the lack of service and knowledge of English. Do NOT stay here if you want a pleasant stay or vacation.

Ro

For a reasonable price, a reasonable and functional room. Close to all amenities, lovely pools and so very near to many large, beautiful clean sandy, family beaches. Best sunshine and temperatures thrown in for free. Beats cold May, June and whatever the UK has ATM!

Mick Joiner

We have just had the best 4 nights stay I’ve had for a long time. Could not fault this hotel. The staff were amazing polite and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. Although we only had breakfast the food was very good. I was so impressed of how clean the place was absolutely spotless . The position of the hotel is slightly out of the centre but it is not as noisy/quit relaxing. I have seriously been thinking of booking for next year as I’ve had a great experience. Mike J

Gosia W

We stayed 4 nights in the hotel and had a great time. The room was spacious and cleaned daily - we needed extra pillow amazing housekeeping lady didn't have any issues with providing one; same with kettle. Reception staff - super helpful and friendly . We didn't try hotel restaurants as we booked a room only. We stayed in a room on the 5 floor sea view - road outside the hotel is busy - for us, it wasn't an issue. The hotel is short walking distance from train station( train to Malaga and back cost €6- thanks for the lovely lady from reception- she gave us the map, recommend places to visit in Malaga), bus stop less than 2 minutes walk ( take you to town centre /shopping centre for €1.20), probably 3 minutes walk to the beach, shops etc. Thanks to the amazing staff, we've had a great time and definitely consider coming back next year.

Paul H

Really friendly staff, lovely hotel but the noise from the traffic all through the night was terrible. Although the rooms were really nice and it was excellent value foroney, the hotel needs to invest in better windows for sound proofing.

Pavlina Jung

We have stayed here a few years ago and in this May 2024 we returned here, the quality is still the same and high. I would like to point out the breakfasts and dinners we enjoyed a lot, because the food is very tasty and the people, who is working here are so nice, we felt like in a family. Rooms are with a balcony, spacious and comfortable. The beach is just across the street and nearby is a supermarket. As well the hotel has a nice bar which is open to 11 p.m. by the pool. WiFi is working very well.

the dark

Hotel is clean. Rooms are big and cleaned everyday. Pool area was nice and quiet. Breakfast was bland and cold. There was four of us and we thought we were singled out around the pool area a couple of times. My wife asked at the bar for a cup of hot water to make tea and sit at the poolside bar but she was told she would have to go her room. We decided to stay at the poolside bar and have a few drinks which was nice. Another guest who we didn't know arrived with her own bottle of wine from a supermarket, had it opened at the bar and sat with us. A while later a staff member approached us and told one of our party that we couldn't bring our own drink in. It was explained to him that it wasn't our wine but he didn't believe us. Another day at the pool we got a drink at the pool and were served our drinks in plastic cups. Hotel policy. The next day though numerous people were drinking at the pool with real glasses. We did open a tube of Pringles at the pool and were approached by a staff member who informed us it was against hotel policy we apologised for error but other people around the pool were eating and drinking their own food and drink. It left a sour taste for sure. We won't be back.

Christine Parkes-Lewis

Fantastic hotel in every aspect. The rooms were extremely clean and modern. The staff throughout the hotel were all friendly, except the grumpy older Lobby bar man! Location is great, right next to the beach but away from the busy main areas. The views from the 3rd floor of sunsets and sunrises were a bonus! As we went out of season and didn't have Aircon on, we slept with the patio doors open and woke to the sound of the waves on the beach 😍 Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Ian Vessey

We absolutely loved our stay, the lady when we checked in was organised and very helpful, our room was lovely, very clean and spacious with a gorgeous sea view, the dining room was spotless, we loved the variety of food each day for breakfast, we paid for half board, but preferred to eat outside at the Beach Club, in the evening, which you do pay extra for, but the prices are very reasonable. All the staff are very friendly and hard working. We just found the whole experience very chilled and laid back, and would re visit in the future.

Janne K

Absolutely stunning hotel with beautiful surroundings. Beach and sea are next to the hotel. Very polite and helpful staff that also speak english fairly well. Excellent quality breakfasts with wide variety of choices. Only thing I was a little bit disappointed with was dinner but everything else here was just great! Would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone, quite an experience.

Erik Vollebregt

Very nice hotel with exceptionally good service - compliments to the staff who were all super hospitable and nice. The hotel has many nice old interesting details in the interior. Great breakfast restaurant with good option to sit outside. Compliments specifically to Roberto the omelet baker who must be the busiest person in the building and is still super friendly and efficient. The location is excellent on the beach and it’s easy to get to Malaga city quick to see the sights. Pool is beautiful although the pool surroundings could be improved with nicer pavement for example. Sound proofing of the rooms could be improved, but was ok.

pablo tavitian

Everything at the IPV Palace was spotless and well-maintained. The hotel features beautiful marble throughout, adding a touch of elegance. The ocean views are stunning, and the entire experience was fantastic. Highly recommended for a relaxing and scenic stay

Sue B

A very nice hotel in good location. We walked everyday along the seafront with many restaurants and shops. Easy to walk into the main town 15/20 minutes. Stayed 6-11 December and booked a Junior Suite with sea views. Very nice with a separate lounge area and bedroom. TV in both rooms with English TV channels. We arrived early but were given an early check-in as our room was ready, which was much appreciated. It was our anniversary and the hotel arranged a complimentary bottle of cava and chocolate cake in our room, which was lovely. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner was buffet and always a nice selection. Very good service in the breakfast and dining room. Thank you Hotel Occidental for a lovely holiday.

Sean O neill

8 of when for 5 days 4 nights to golf. Very clean friendly hotel . Staff very good . Just across from the beach we even swam in Nov hard to belive. Very good breakfast . Great area to leave your clubs beside reception. Rooms cleaned daily. About 5 to 10 min away from lots of restaurants. There's a market close by on Sundays too . Really enjoyed the stay

M J

Really nice hotel right by the beach. Clean, modern with a friendly staff. Depending on which side of the hotel your room is on you can have great views of the sea, the mountains, or both! Only had breakfast at the hotel which was standard for European hotels. Some really great restaurants within walking distance.

Tuomas Oksanen

Our stay at Occidental Fuengirola was an absolutely fantastic experience! The location is excellent, practically on the beachfront, making it easy to enjoy the seaside and stunning views. With short distances to shopping, attractions, and public transport, like trains to Malaga, our travels were incredibly convenient. The hotel service was top-notch, and every detail made our stay feel truly luxurious. Our room was clean and functional, with amazing air conditioning that was perfect for the 38-degree heat. The balcony was a definite plus, and the cleaning service was excellent throughout our stay. The hotel's secluded courtyard offered great services and a beautiful environment, making it a pleasant place to relax. Food and drinks were available practically all day, and having a small bar by the pool was a nice touch. The pool bar food was delicious, and the service was mostly quick. There were plenty of sunbathing spots, but they were in high demand. If you want to secure a good spot by the pool, be early! Our booking included only breakfast, which was an excellent start to the day. There was a wide variety of choices, and something for every taste. Occidental Fuengirola is the perfect choice for a quality and relaxing holiday in Fuengirola!

Ka Ba

Great location! We had deluxe rooms with a comfortable and spacious bed. My minuses would be the paid safe and the fact that the swimming towels are changed every three days. Less than that for a charge. In addition, better sunbeds cost 50 euros per day.
