“For our honeymoon it wasnt the best!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

We arrived early in the morning to a kind receptionist who spoke very good english. he gave us a room up on the top floor (4th).
The beds were two singles, that being on our honeymoon wasnt the best. The balcony was covered in birds droppings, meaning when i put our towels and swimwear out to dry they then got covered and seems to be slanting downwards. My husband even refused to step out on it. YES the a/c unit did work but sometimes sounded as though it was going to fly off the wall. Also we had no cold water for 2 days. So that meant no shower unless you wanted 3rd degree burns. When we asked at reception about the water problem all we go was 'yes we are fixing'. After the 1st day we asked again, his reply was 'yes fixed, fixed'. Returning to our room, nothing! We reported it again to which a plumber did arrive and fix our problem.
When we went down to breakfast the next morning, i couldnt believe all there was, was packet cakes and croissents, some warm looking meat and cheese, and a toaster that looked about 100 years old. I even had to put my bread in 2/3 times to get it even looking brown. There is a pool bar but that was never open and didnt look like it had ever even run a day. The pool was clean and it never got too busy. If you like dead quiet while you are sunbathing then fine, but otherwise you need to make your own entertainment.
Fuengirola has a lot of memories for me, but we will not be returning to the hotel, its of our date, needs some tender love, care and attension. If it was revamped it would be an ideal place for couples and familys.

Room Tip: all rooms seem okay if you like old fashioned with a wooden head board and a very old a/c unit

“Never again !”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

This hotel lacks too many things to make me come back: ancient AC, no fridge, dirty swimming pool, just two sun umbrellas for 30 sun beds, smallest breakfast ever, filthy bathrooms, noisy area etc.

Room Tip: Close to the beach. The bus station is in front of the hotel. Near police station. Close to supermar...

“Basic - however children beware !!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is basic, however this is reflected in the price. The pool was warm, breakfast fair. Staff very helpful. We were given room 107, parents please be aware there are LIVE UNCOVERED ELECTRIC WIRES running from the TV plug in this room. The bathroom only had a small 3 foot in length bath, not much good for my husband standing at 6' 4".

The resort of Fuengirola was very quite for July, none of the local bars or hotels offered any type of evening entertainment what so ever - we were told it has been banned by the Lady Mayor of Fuengirola. She will not issue an entertainments licence to any business due to noise pollution in the passed.

“Never again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2010

person found this review helpful

The reviews’ on Trip Advisor largely sum up this hotel. Breakfast is rubbish - I even offered to show the COOK how to fry eggs – bread was stale and the waiter at breakfast would be better doing another job. If you are brave enough to gothen look at the British flag over the entrance it is upside down which means 'in distress' and that sums up the hotel. My advice is pay a little bit more and AVOID this hotel LIKE THE PLAGUE
