A lovely space. From the moment you walk in there is a lovely open reception area. The reception desks, clearly marked and attended with helpful, friendly receptionists. My room was nice and spacious, as was the bathroom. It overlooked the beach so the view from my cozy balcony was stunning of the beach, ocean, pool and town of Fuengirola. The spa, although the indoor pool was a bit small, it has wonderful spas and there was also a small jacuzzi, big enough for 3/4 adults. Downstairs there was a lovely big chill out / treatment area with sauna and stream rooms. It was a beautiful, peaceful space. I could have just chilled there for hours. We used several of the function rooms and they were all very welcoming. The bars were well stocked and breakfast delivered a great selection of breakfast items, even Cava. Amenities close by; this hotel is on a bus route that travels up and down the coast and goes direct to the bus station in Fuengirola. It is also walking distance to great beach restaurants and is lovely walk into the town and old town of Fuengirola. A thoroughly wonderful stay.
