me and my wife have just returned from the piramides.after reading revues i was a little on edge but in all honesty the hotel is in a good spot. evening meals were spot on plenty of choice and cooked to perfection.only bad thing was bacon &sausage but scrambled egg made up for this.the rooms were cleaned everyday. inc xmas +boxing day as said before not 4 star but a good 3 star.anyone going to this hotel must also pop over the road to see the irish bar oharas. best pint ov beer+lager in the resort and a smashing couple who make you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door.all in all we had a smashing xmas.

Hotel needs serious makeover,was mod in 1960. Staff serving in restaurant also left over from those times,they have forgotten to smile or make guests welcome, Reception staff helpful and friendly.Beds basic ,room bare ,realy just for resting and leaving stuff, you need a corner suite /upgrade to get the glorious views.An upgrade is 40€ a night !. Food is realy canteen style ,supposed to be kept hot over hot water servers, but things got cold. I had cold chips each evening.Trays of sliced meats in sauce with lots of names all tasted the same.
The sauna /jacuzzi is only available for 2 hours each morning and has to be paid for by residents ! There is no entertainment in hotel except for Flamenco show on one evening per week. Altogether a very basic facility ,it gave us access to centre of resort ,but not much else

We have just returned from this hotel after a 14 day holiday. The hotel staff were all very friendly and the reception staff all spoke good English. Any problems were seen to immediately. The bedroom and bathroom were kept clean and linen was changed more frequently than needed. The food was good and there was a large variety. Unfortunately during our first week numbers were low so the hot buffet at breakfast and dinner was removed ut we were served A La Carte which was good. It would have been nice to have seen all the lights on in the hotel every day but I can understand the hotel having to economise when they have low numbers. There was a pianist playing each evening so I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a lot of entertainment. We were pleased to be at the end of Fuengirola because we like it quiet. There are walks which are close by and supermarkets very close to the hotel. We used 3 English restaurants, 2 on the main road Scoffers and Corby Cafe Bar and 1 which was on the waterfront at the marina Bella Vista. All 3 were excellent and I would definitely recommend them.

We upgraded to a suite to get a good sea-view (so our very cheap room became more expensive) and a bit more space as the first room we were shown had limited sea view and was quite cramped. Rooms, especially the bathroom rather dated and needing some TLC (the curtain lining had been mended with gaffer tape). Towels very small and thin but changed every day. Staff pleasant and helpful BUT this is all let down by its catering. We had one nice meal, the rest of the stay the food was dreadful - mass catering doesn't have to be like that. The buffet salads exactly the same each evening and the hot choices dismal (except for steak with pepper sauce one night). The puddings were a joke - several colours of what looked like Instant Whip, and unpeeled/unprepared apples and oranges plus a canned option - on two nights this was a very nasty macedoine of lychees and peach. But breakfast took my breath away - inedible bacon, nasty sausages, tasteless eggs. And the hot water urn from which to make tea so badly needed de-scaling the tea was undrinkable, but the coffee was fine (however, I don't want milky coffee for breakfast - I want tea!). The bar was expensive.
But its location is great, close to the beach, and a very short walk to cafes and shops, at the quiet end of the resort.
