Hotel Apartamentos Bajondillo

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for 2 weeks. Firstly, great location, right across from the beach and close to the stairs up to town. Staff were friendly and responsive. Having a pick up and drop off shuttle to/from airport was great too, The room was a good size, with a nice big comfortable bed, and great balcony that looked out both over the sea and the township; we got lucky for being on the outer west side of the building because the inner apartments would be facing the pool and courtyard, which could be loud at night with the entertainment going on. In terms other room facilities, the bathroom was a good size although the shower struggled a bit during busy hours (between 7-10pm). The kitchen areas was disappointingly small (2 small electric hobs and small sink space), but we managed. We noticed some other rooms had slightly bigger kitchen areas than ours. The gym was very handy and had excellent amenities, however a big issue is that there were often many young children (many younger than 10 yo) inappropriately using much of the equipment, often dressed as though they should have been in the pool instead...with no staff (or parents!) stopping this from going on. All in all however, would definitely consider staying here again..would just make sure I booked an outward facing room, and maybe look for a room with a bigger kitchen (at least for longer stays),"

Leonardo Hotel Fuengirola Costa del Sol

10/10 Excellent

"Staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and very efficient. The rooms are spacious and are cleaned every day. Breakfast was a buffet where you can choose hot and cold food. Hotel is just across the road from the harbour and five minutes walk from the centre. We love this hotel and gave stayed there about 8 times. We would highly recommend it."

Only YOU Hotel Malaga

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. The staff were attentive without being overbearing - one of the best welcomes I have ever had at a hotel. The rooms and facilities were clean, well thought out - it had everything we needed and more. And the breakfast was definitely the best I have had - the mix of continental buffet and made to order eggs etc was exceptional. Again amazing staff, so relaxed yet unbelievably efficient. Absolute 10/10 hotel."
