Confortel Fuengirola
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Confortel Fuengirola is a 4 star hotel situated on the sea front in Fuengirola. From the outside it appears a very modern and well kept building having only been opened in January 2005. As soon as our travel operator's coach pulled up outside the hotel to drop us off a very friendly porter was there with a trolley to take our case inside - this stood out as being good service as the other hotels that our coach had dropped off at (including other 4 star hotels) didn't receive any such greeting.
On entry into the reception area it is clear that this is a modern hotel. Decor is minimalistic and the colour scheme is natural, with lots of marble, wood and neutral colours ...
Advantages: Very readable, good characterisation Disadvantages: None.
This is the third of Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe novels and is set around the siege of Badajoz in 1812.
The novel is notable for two reasons:
1) The description of the horrors of besieging a fortress and 'going into the breach', and
2) The introduction of Sharpe's old enemy, the disgusting, supposedly unkillable Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill,
Hakeswill was hanged as a child, survived and now believes that he cannot be killed. He hates Sharpe who used to be a private and has 'gotten above himself'
This book is a brilliant story and demonstrates what an excellent creation Richard Sharpe is. ...
Advantages: Off the beaten track. Close to Portugal and Seville Disadvantages: English not widely spoken. Not much to do apart from sunbath

So having looked at the Catalogue we plumped for the Confortel, Islantilla. This being positioned in Andalucia, near the border with Portugal. The Catalogue was Thomson and we bought the package (parking, flights, transfers and hotel). I will only assess the hotel here though. Oh and by the way the catalogue quotes it as a 4-star hotel rather than a 2-star (as quoted in the title). I myself would say it sat somewhere between 3 and 4.
We arrived at the hotel on Sunday afternoon (04/06) after a two and a half hour flight and 2 hour coach journey from the Portugese airport, 'Faro' (would have been more like an hour but our coach had several stops to make). From a distance the building looks fairly garish having had a recent paint job in red, orange and yellow (pictures included!) When you get closer to ...
