Everything was great at this hotel. Great staff, Daniel and Valentina were always happy to help and answer any questions. Very clean. Food was amazing and every day there were different options added. Great location by the beach and easy to plan many different trips like Morocco or Gibraltar and also with a walking distance to a huge mall. I highly recommend booking a stay there!

Lovely hotel, a little dated but spotlessly clean. It’s a little way out of Fuengirola itself but there’s a great bus service right outside the hotel or cheap taxi ride in where there’s loads of nice bars & restaurants. Pool area great but as usual spoilt by the sun bed hoggers putting their towels out & not using them til later in the day! It’s an ideal base to visit the likes of Marbella, Mijas Puablo & Bedalmadena on the bus or Malaga on the train which is well worth a visit.

this is a peaceful hotel. Right next to the beach. If I had one complaint, it would be that the sun beds could be a little more comfortable.

This hotel has been a favorite destination of ours for over a decade, it has a great location, easy to access, parking, and a fabulous pool. Access to the beach is just out of the pool area and you are within walking distance of multitudes of restaurants and shops.
Unfortunately, there has been a significant decline in the quality of the breakfast provided here and amenities in general. Cost saving seems to be the driving force with juice, now being served from a machine, that tastes rancid, a lack of staff/servers, and charges for machine made coffee and even water in your room (that used to be complimentary).
Still a great resort like hotel to use as your base while you explore or enjoy the southern coast of Spain, but not the same luxerious stay that had us coming back for more.

Large hotel with very nice pool area.Breakfast buffet has nice selection and hotel is right on the beach at the quieter end of the Fuengirola beach.Rooms are large but quite simple.The balconies in many rooms in Building Rhonda have high walls with no openings so you cannot see anything if you sit down.Bus to town is very close by or you can walk into town about 2 klm and take a train to all the small
towns between Fuengirola and Malaga.Very nice by European standards but no coffee machine or irons in the rooms.

Swimming pool large clean and warm with surrounding gardens immaculately laid out .
Direct access to beach with the Mediterranean Sea little more than 50m away .
Would recommend to couples as a fabulous place to enjoy a relaxing sun drenched break away

We did a two weeks vacation in Spain, and by far this is the most expensive hotel in the trip I had booked. The pool area and the hotel lobby is really nice and very well maintained. However, the staff are not helpful, at times not nice to converse with. Also VIP access is nothing on this hotel, they do not offer anything special for you. Also no amenities in the room. No shower caps, no boxed tissue, no slippers, no iron. Nothing at all. The facility seems like a time share hotel.

It was a nice hotel, amazing views, go for a see view on the 5th floor of Ronda building. You won't be disappointed, and the sunrise is stunning. I would like to mention Simone the Manager, whose attention to ensuring my stay was satisfactory, was great customer service, which was consistent among the staff I spoke to.

I have to admit the spa was disappointing, parts of the spa was locked, or out of order. Plus to use the spa is extra for customers. I think it would be nice if customers staying at the hotel were offered a complimentary first session in the spa. Then pay for any additional sessions while staying at the hotel.

But overall I had a good time, and was well looked after. The hotel is also perfectly located, a scenic 15 minute walk to all the bars, restaurants, and clubs. Or a 20 minute taxi ride to Marbella, public transport is good too, and will take about 45 minutes to get there. Puerto Banus is a 15 minute bus ride from the Marbella bus station.

I would highly recommend this hotel, and I intend to stay there on my next visit to the Costa de sol. I hope the hotel takes on my comments and suggestions related to the spa, which would be nice to see on my next stay. I would rate my stay overall 7.5 out of 10.

The hotel is situated at the quieter end of Fuengirola , which we enjoy.
Waking up to see the nice blue sea 30 metres away on a gloriously sunny morning is a lovely start to the day.
Breakfast offered a wide choice of hot and cold food which should please most people.

A really nice place & we enjoyed our 10 days so much. It is quiet, relaxing & ideally placed to go sightseeing accross Andalusia, with good roads & trains nearby. We loved our sea view & easy access to the beach, town of Fuengirola & bars / cafes & restaurants. The staff & food in the hotel were so good & the pools & spa were lovely. We are so pleased that we picked this hotel. Lastly, we got it at a very good price, so 10/10 all round for us.

Lovely stay in Fuengirola. The hotel buildings and grounds are impressive and the location is amazing - right on the front with direct access to the promenade and beach. There are lots of restaurants to walk out to. We also ate in the italian restaurant and the tapas place that are part of the hotel. The food and service were excellent. The outdoor pool isn't open until 1st April but you can still use the loungers etc. There is an indoor pool and spa which is open year round. 12 euros a session. Pool was a lovely temperature. Only downside is that you have to wear a swimming cap in the spa. The shopping centre nearby is good for clothes etc. Great stay. Would definitely return

Stayed at IPV and overall had a really pleasant experience. The place is spotless, and the sea view is genuinely lovely, the kind you don’t get tired of. The whole hotel has a classic, slightly old-world charm. The only downside is that some of the furniture, like the sofas and beds, feels a bit dated. Maybe they’re keeping it that way to match the classic style, but a bit of updating wouldn’t hurt.
Breakfast was fairly good, no complaints there, but the dinner menu was honestly disappointing. We went to try it and ended up turning back ,just not worth it.
Service was great throughout, and the staff were warm and friendly. The spa was good as well; you do need to book ahead for massage treatments, but the pool, jacuzzi, and sauna are usually easy to access this time of year. The outdoor pool has a gorgeous view and is kept very clean.
There’s no private beach, but there is direct access to the beach from the hotel grounds, which is a big plus. And for the shopping enthusiasts, the Miramar mall is only about a 15 min walk or a 5 min drive, very handy.
Overall, a charming stay with a few quirks, but plenty of highlights.

Lovely place to stay. Staff and amenities excellent. There was a large corporte group: Cat industrial machinery I think. Unfortunately many members of this group became very drunk and didnt behave well: pushing eachother into the pool and making some hotel staff feel quite uncomfortable. I can deal with this but it wasnt at all fair on some of the staff. I will be writing to them. This was not the fault of the hotel.
