We just returned from a week stay...this hotel is very clean,it smells lovely,it,s very well kept,rooms are basic,we had to hire a hairdryer for 20euros...no fridges in the room... And we couldn't understand why they changed the bed after one night,until we read the small information card on the dresser..if you DON,t want your bedding changed you had to leave this on your bed for the maid, I think there could be a better way of doing this maybe include it in the information booklet,as it was by chance we picked up these small folded info cards..the food was okay a bit repetitive but there was enough if you wanted to eat all day..lovely garden area sun terrace is lovely,lounges scattered over a varied distance so there was lots of places to relax...the beach on the doorstep 1min walk away then onto a lovely clean prom..all in all a nice hotel .I was in 110..I had a pool view but also a sea view,my daughter was in room 320 she had a sea view..there are lifts,and stairs side by side,I don't use lift so I requested a lower floor...and I got what I asked for .the restaurant and victoria lounge are on floors below reception minus1 for bar ,minus 2 for restaurant...

Rooms a bit scuffed and worn but very very clean, very comfy beds and pillows, excellent showers. Towels and beds changed every day. We had room 111, view of sea and pool area. Food was excellent and plenty of choice 😋. Lots of salads, fruit various mains, fresh pancakes, omelettes, fried eggs, toasties all done to order. All staff were friendly and efficient. Nice lounge area. Bus stop outside hotel and supermarket opposite. The only fault was walls very thin and overall could be a bit noisy.

Lovely place - spotlessly clean - Alijandro and Team couldn't be more accommodating. Food was fresh, varied and plenty of it. Not a top end luxury hotel but can't fault it and just had a fabulous 2 weeks there despite poor March weather. Can't wait to go back. Bus stop right outside, train station couple of hundred yards away and an endless prom with countless bars, cafe's shops and restaurants.

First time at hotel. Check in was easy and reception team were very helpful. One of our rooms wasn't ready so we placed our luggage in the luggage room. Had an issue with the room door handle, reported to reception & issue was fixed within 5 minutes. Maintenance team were very apologetic. Food quality was very good & lots of options to suit everyone. At times restaurant was very busy & queues to get a table,so advise to go down at opening times. Pool area very clean & lots of beds. Pool bar open serving drinks. All inclusive food located opposite the restaurant throughout the day. Rooms very clean, Grant views from the balcony. I think this is a 3 star hotel & can't complain about anything. Hotel location is a little far out from main town & harbour, but beach area opposite hotel is lovelly & quiet. It depends what you aant really. It's about an hours walk to harbour area & market. Although you can catch the no.1 service bus from right outside the hotel. It's only 1.20 euros each for one way. Lots of bus stops along the way. Had a great weekend here.

I would avoid at all costs if you aren’t Spanish. I checked in today and 2 hours after booked a different hotel for the remainder of our stay in Fuengirola. We are only seeing the night through here because the other hotel has no availability until tomorrow. When we arrived the lady at the desk was kind and helpful. She gave us our all inclusive wristbands but our room wasn’t quite ready so she said we could go down to lunch while we waited. That is where it all went downhill. We walked into the restaurant area, but there was no one at the door, so we walked through to find a table. We was then rudely shouted at by a member of staff telling us that we should have waited. There was no signs stating to wait by the door. The food was cold, bland and tasteless. The staff ‘Refilling’ the food were just barging people out the way. Not one other guest there that we could see spoke English, and we found it quite an uncomfortable experience. We went back at 2pm to collect the keys for our room. The room that we were given was nothing like the room we booked, the beds are squashed in to a corner of the room, no bedside tables, one plug socket in the whole room the other side to the bed. The only upside of the room is that although completely different to the pictures, it is clean. We went down to the bar once we put our luggage into the room, but that was an experience I wouldn’t want to encounter again. We tried to ask the staff member which alcoholic drinks were included in the all inclusive, she just pointed over to the soft drink station. When we tried to ask her again, she responded abruptly with “no English”. We decided to give it a miss and went back to our rooms to book another hotel. It seems that the staff at this hotel are much kinder to Spanish guests, and have no time for anyone english. We have been to Fuengirola many times before and have never been treated like this. If anyone reading this is contemplating going to this hotel, I would do yourselves a favour and book elsewhere. The ‘Fuengirola Beach apartamentos’ hotel is a lovely hotel which we have stayed in previously. I am struggling to understand how this place can even be ranked a 3 star hotel.
