Occidental Fuengirola

Swimmimg pool was great! Breakfast was great! Service was good! Bide shower was missing from toilet. :( There was no place to dry towels on balcony.

Would highly recommend on every level. Only one draw back, some rowdy golfer groups. Although this isn’t the hotel’s fault. Nothing too much trouble for ALL the staff. Great hotel.

Recommended Our stay was pretty good. We had a junior suite. There was nowhere to hang dresses, especially long ones, which I tend to wear on holiday. Otherwise it was fine. Dressing gowns were also provided and the bath towels are huge. Magic! The breakfasts were good, but evening meals a bit samey. We went out for meals for most of the week. Its a half hour walk to the town centre, but the taxis are reasonable. This is an estimate from an elderly lady. Younger people would take much less. A longer walk along the front brings you to night clubs etc. There are plenty of supermarkets local to this hotel and lots of seafront cafes and restaurants. The hotel has a huge swimming pool and a smaller one for children. It is all well maintained inside and out. A shop in the reception area and also a bar are very nice.

Overcrowded, Noisy, and Disappointing Fuengirola, as a destination, already left much to be desired — lacking the charm and class of nearby towns like Marbella or Málaga. Unfortunately, this hotel didn’t do much to improve the impression. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this is a high-traffic, mass-market hotel — busy pool, crowded common areas, and a general feeling of chaos. The staff were, at best, indifferent. At worst, rude and inattentive. Any request felt like an inconvenience, and the service fell well short of even basic expectations. The rooms were passable — clean enough and reasonably sized — but the walls were paper-thin. Every hallway conversation, toilet flush, and suitcase roll echoed through the night. The lifts were another frustration: old, painfully slow, and often overcrowded, adding to the general sense of wear and tear. And then, there was the breakfast buffet. Calling it a buffet feels generous — it was more like a zoo. Whether it was the hotel’s clientele, poor planning, or simply lack of control, the experience was a chaotic free-for-all. Long queues, no available tables, food running out without replenishment — not exactly the relaxing start to the day one hopes for on holiday. In short, I wouldn’t stay here again. If you're looking for a peaceful, pleasant experience on the Costa del Sol, this hotel — and Fuengirola in general — is best avoided
