We stayed in this hotel for one week as we had family and friends staying close by for my brother in laws fiftieth birthday. The hotel was situated a short walk from the front and the local railway station was just behind the hotel (not that it caused any noise problems). The railway ran to Fuengirola and Malaga. The trains were clean and quite cheap. Our room was spacious and very clean. It was kept clean throughout our stay, kudos to the housekeeping staff, they were great. There was no coffee making facilities in the rooms but there was a safe and it was free. We do like to have a coffee when we get up. There was a fridge, so we had orange juice to get us going in the morning The bar staff were also great and friendly. There was the indoor bar which opened in the evenings and there was entertainment there every night. During the day you could get drinks and snacks from the swimming pool bar. We had breakfast every day in the hotel restaurant, I was able to get a full English every day. The quality was good. We only ate one lunch while there and two evening dinners, not because the food was bad, on the contrary it was good. The waiting staff were great and kept our tables clean. One gripe; you had to go to a little bar to get your drinks with your meals, not a problem, unless the young lady serving ignored you to serve fellow Spaniards, very annoying. Overall I would recommend this hotel, besides the one gripe it was an enjoyable stay.

“Good value”

Good value and very clean hotel. Sometimes people forget what they have paid when writing reviews. Some basic self caterering properties are more expensive than HB at this hotel. The hotel is very clean in all areas, its definitly not a "looker" from the outside but once inside it is fine. The room… more

Good value and very clean hotel. Sometimes people forget what they have paid when writing reviews. Some basic self caterering properties are more expensive than HB at this hotel. The hotel is very clean in all areas, its definitly not a "looker" from the outside but once inside it is fine. The rooms are spacious with loads of hanging space, air con has always worked well on all of our visits. Free fridge and safe in the room so bare that in mind when comparing prices with other hotels, bring a kettle if you want a hot drink in the room. We first came here before the rooms were upgraded and have been back several times as it's a good value, clean hotel in a great location. There is an incline up to the hotel but it's really not that bad, anyone with mobility issues might srtuggle. Lovely grassed sunbathing areas with beds that are not rammed together, two pools, one with activities in high season. Great transport links, the train station is just at the rear of hotel, no problems with noise levels, buses stop a short walk away. Transport is cheap and sometimes free on buses in early and late season. This hotel is at the quiter end of Fuengirola, there are still shops, bars and restaurants within a short walk away, on the promenade. The beaches are clean with gorgeous sand, Carvajel beach is beautiful and a flat walk away once on the promenade. The food is variable( in our opinion), we had a couple of nights that were poor during our last 14 night stay, some nights it was far better than others. It's not the worst food we have had and its not the best. We have had far worse food in two other 4 star hotels in Fuengirola. We always find lunch better than the evening meal, you can change from evening meal to lunch with no notice on any day, this is a great plus. Going back in 2026, because of the value, cleanliness, great air con and lawned areas for sunbathing. It is a typical Spanish style hotel, with Spanish decor, still uses white table cloths in the restaurant. We would rate it a good 3 star plus, but with excellent cleaning standards. All inclusive is usually cheaper when booked with the holiday package. We have always found the staff helpful and polite.

“Total relaxation.”

We stayed here for 3 days to celebrate my other half's birthday. 1st day arriving,the weather was terrible with rain and lightning 🌩 but this didnt damper the spirit of the staff. They went full on with halloween Dec's and made all the kids/guests get into the spirit. The rooms were spotless clean and the smell of the fresh laundry was so refreshing. Food was very nice but they didnt have pizzas which was abit disappointing hence why I am giving it 4 stars. I cannot find much faults with this hotel. Location is brilliant as its next door to a train station..the beach is a short walk down the hill. I need to mention the walk back up the hill can be tough for elderly/people with buggys. Would I stay here again....yes 100%.

Position is good: near beach, near light train station, near supermarket. Food is ok: large variety, in generally tasty, but repetitive. I would loved to be surprised by good food but... no chance. Service was so-so. I had smalls problem with staff like: I paid for a glass of wine but in one night I do not receive it, I had to ask two time to receive clean towels. A lot of noise outside the hotel!! I liked that the room is big, the elevator work, the hot water was available. My impression is that the hotel was for old people, so if are over 50 years you will be like home in that hotel. If you are 25, go on other place.
