Fuengirola Beach

“Quiet location but with great bus service to amenities”

Just spent a week in a 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the pool. The apartment was spacious and clean with lots of hot water for the shower.

Just spent a week in a 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the pool. The apartment was spacious and clean with lots of hot water for the shower. We didn't want to cook meals but would have struggled as the kitchen area is tiny and also there is no freezer compartment in the fridge to make ice. Happy Hour in the main bar is 6 - 7pm, it's an hour earlier in the pool bar. Food served in the bar is good and reasonably priced. All staff are very friendly and professional. The hotel is in a quiet location at one end of the resort. It's a 5/10 minutes from the beach and castle but the walk into the central beach/bar area of the resort is a good 15 minutes. Great regular, local bus service, L1, right outside hotel door which only costs 1.20 euros per journey. It's a circular route going through the town centre's shopping area, restaurants and cafes but an easy walk down to the beach from there. The bus doesn't stop at the main bus station but nearby. The terminus coming back is at the Miramar shopping centre (yellow circle on the map) just a short walk back to the hotel or you'll need to get off, wait while the driver has his break then pay again for 2 stops. The map and timetable is on the bus stops and easy to understand when you get used to it. The Miramar shopping centre and supermarket are on the doorstop ......you can't miss it.

Location is excellent, Fuengirola is a quieter area of the Costa del Sol, but not too quiet, making it ideal for a family vacation. There are a few restaurants in the local area, in addition to the pool bar and restaurant areas, to eat out. The shopping centre has a Carrefour hypermarket very close to the hotel, which is accessible. It has everything needed to supply a self catering room; I frequently visited to buy beer at €1.35/litre, and enjoyed regularly on the huge balcony! Room facilities are very good, it could be even better in future: there is a fridge, microwave, hob and sink for cooking, which we did often to cater to ourselves as a family with a young child. The recycling bins in the lobby are handy for glass, plastic and paper. It would be better if bin bags and kitchen cloths were provided; guests need to sort themselves at the Carrefour or by packing in advance on this point. Kids entertainment is excellent on site: there is a Kids club, night time shows and plenty of activities like face painting during the day. The gym is well maintained, and on first use the staff are nice enough to let you have access until the end of your stay. Fuengirola is a lovely area with plenty of sunshine and attractions in the surrounding area. With minor improvements, the stay could be even more convenient, and I would expect this to be considered given visitor numbers in April before the school holidays. Overall I would recommend Fuengirola Beach for a vacation, and I'd love to have the opportunity to visit again in future.
