We stayed in an apartment over the holidays. The place was clea and quiet. Well-equipped with stove, microwave and fridge. We had a living room with integrated kitchen and a separate bedroom. Furthermore, there are a (small) SAT-TV and a heater/aircon.

The hotel offers paddle tennis courts, in- and outdooor playgrounds for kids, a spa, in- and outdoor pools as well as a jacuzzi. There are plenty of parking spaces right in front of the hotel and surrounding the Myramar Mall - just a few steps away. Nearby are also Dunnes Stores and Iceland (cheap grocery with UK products).

However, we would not recommend the hotel for a beach holiday as it is too dangerous to walk (includes highway-crossing). But perfect for people with a rental car or for those willing to ride the bus.

My husband and I stay here from 19th december 2011 and left on christmas eve. whilst the Hotel its self is very Chic and stylish, it is boring! I know we were out of season, but we have been away at Christmas before and had a wonderful time. Everyone had lap tops so were very unsociable, the hotel provided no entertainment/activities. The highlight of our night was watching Eastenders.. which we dont even watch at home! We were glad to leave! The rooms are dated but very clean, and staff were ok! Some had blank faces others smiled on the odd occassion. Breakfast was very good, dinner not so. As the hotel was only part occupied if you didnt get there in the first half hour of the buffet starting, the food would just sit there warm. Very very bad and could cause major illness. I wouldn't stay here again, even though we visit Fuengirola 3 or 4 times a year.Dissapointed.

Arived on 26.12.11 and got to the front desk to check in and they wanted 100 euro deposit from me which i refused so they said we will deal with that later, but we didn't.

Rooms are clean and spacious. Bathroom as a bath/shower combine plus a walk in shower which was good. Bedroom was 2 single beds which we put together, and wasn't too bad! Massive wardrobe with a lot of hangers. The kitchen was basic but ok as we only had snacks in because we was Half board, it consisted of a microwave, kettle, toaster and 2 hob rings.

Pool bar, outdoor pool and pub was closed during our week but they said because of the weather but compared to the uk weather it was still hot! Indoor pool was ok but you have to wear a swimming cap and the jacuzzi is 5Euro each.

Food in the resturant (Olea) was not great. Breakfast consisted of soft sausages, streaky bacon (under cooked), fried eggs, beans or cereal and cold meats along side of breads.
Evening meals changed on a daily basis but was not great but there was always something to eat, mainly chips.

The beach is about 10/15 min walk.
Shopping centre is 2min walk. (Right next to the hotel)

For food shopping there is Eroski in the shopping centre and Lidl and dunnes across the bridge. We also found an Iceland which was just pass the Lidl, and stocked the same food as at home.

Overall we stay at the hotel again but just not on a half board basis and not out of season.

Stayed here with my wife for a xmas break in 2010 it is a large hotel with lots of facilities including indoor pool sauna and jacuzzi and a really good gym.
To use the pool we had to go and buy swimming caps so get one before you go.
Also had to pay seperately for the use of pool/jacuzzi/gym and sauna
The food was not great, large trays of food items on a self service basis.
The hotel is a decent walk of 20-25 mins from beach area however there is a bus stop directly outside the hotel.
Massive shopping complex next door to buy food if you are self catering
Room cleaned every day and room warm throughout the day and night in winter.
Overall a good place to stay but if we went back to the resort we would stay somewhere a little bit closer to the centre as taxis were 7 euros each trip.
