Sun&Life Fuengirola 26

The hotel reception staff were friendly and answered all our questions. They also let us store our bags for free when we had a late flight. The pool area was nice, and the hotel was clean. It’s just a stone’s throw from the beach, and I’d definitely stay again. I stayed in a privately owned apartment, which was really good and had most of what you need. I gave it 4 stars because the beds were a little uncomfortable and it could have done with a hairdryer.

I was really surprised by this hotel. The view out over the mountains and sea is absolutely magnificent.

The staff were really friendly, and we appreciated being upgraded. The room was spacious and very clean. Only drawback was the air conditioning, which was too noisy.

The location works well if you want bars nearby, but our stay had a lot of problems. The beds were uncomfortable and offered so little support that my partner's back suffered throughout the holiday. I don't have existing spine problems and I still found them uncomfortable. The bathroom was dirty when we arrived, and the air conditioning was very old and barely worked. Our kitchenette technically existed, but the microwave and kettle were broken. We only had lamps in the room, and just one bathroom mirror while other rooms had two or three. The breakfast choice was small, and much of it was overcooked and oily. I wouldn't bother with it if your kids are picky eaters. The pool was tiny and freezing, and children have to be accompanied in it whether or not they can swim. Housekeeping came daily, though I personally don't see much point in that. Towels we were given had stains on them. We were also given only one toilet roll for four people for several days. We ran out twice because reception wouldn't give us another roll when we chose not to have the room cleaned. From the replies I've seen, changing rooms seems to be their only solution. I could go to reception, but really, I shouldn't have to.
