Advantages: Something for everyone Disadvantages: Can be expensive
...to be staying in the Fuengirola Beach Hotel in Fuengirola. I knew it was allocation on arrival but at least put me somewhere I've heard of. Oh well, I'd spent 3 hours on the plane and I was in Spain for a week so I might as well make the most of it. Only 20-30 minutes from Malaga airport, Fuengirola covers a 10.20KM² strech of the Costa Del Sol and in my opinion is one of the fastest developing tourist areas on the Costa Del Sol. It's between 2 and ... ...plough.
*********Hotel*********
The Fuengirola Beach Apartments is located a good 30 minute bus transfer from Malaga and about 30 minutes walk from the centre of Fuengirola (depending on your walking speed it's probably quicker). My first impression of the hotel was that it was an absolute dump, mostly due to the fact that it was surrounded by building sites, was next to a main road and about 100m from a motorway, plonked next to a huge shopping ...

Advantages: Everything a great Town and area Disadvantages: you want to stay
...you've never heard of it, Fuengirola is a resort on the Spanish Costa Del Sol, approximately 20 minutes from Malaga by local train service, and about ¾ hour by bus/taxi or car depending on traffic conditions. Probably not as well known as some of the major brochure titles like Torremillinos or BenalMadena, but in my opinion is not only just as good as them, but possibly the best resort area on the Costa Del Sol.
Fuengirola has 5 miles of golden ... ...basis.
I lived in Fuengirola for 2 months with friends and I would take an early morning stroll along the promenade, there was always an army of street and beach cleaners, it was heartbreaking knowing that the same process would have to be carried out every day, these guys were proud of their town and cleaned it thoroughly.
The promenade is a very wide cobbled effect path, which is lined with palms and plenty of seating areas, across the road is ...

Advantages: Friendly place for your Holidays Disadvantages: Mad drivers
...place to go on holiday.
Fuengirola has had a lot of bad press recently on TV such as on Costa del Streetcrime where it is said to be one of the roughest parts of spain.
I on the other hand had a lovely experience when I recently visited there and loved it.
It is situated between Marbella and Portabenus with easy access to both via train liks and busses/taxis.

Advantages: Friendly, Nice Beach Disadvantages: Some nightlife quite expensive
...I was a little wary.
Fuengirola also has its own waterpark thought there is a bigger one next to the Crocodile Park. The slides are fairly basic but good if you dont wish to travel further out.
There is also a new shopping centre which includes an english cinema if you fancy a film!
All in all Fuengirola is a lovely place to visit, pretty and fun with very welcoming and friendly locals! ...

Advantages: Very Child Friendly Resort Disadvantages: Will be more improved when multiplex and shoping mall finished
...the Castle Beach Hotel in Fuengirola at the beginning of June.
Contrary to all previously read reports online, the hotel and its location were of a very high standard, indeed the hotel had only been open for 1 year!
The facilities are very child/family orientated and include TWO kids clubs, two swimming pools, one idea for young children, being an enclosed site, it was ideal to allow the children some freedom to run around.
The beach was about ... ...through the town, which gave opportunity for some shopping and eating at very good restaurants.
On the seafront was a chinese restaurant with an 'eat all you can' buffett which worked out to be about £10 for two.
Overall, this is a very friendly resort and the hotel will be upgraded to 4* next year, although to be honest, with air conditioning and facilities, it seems difficult to beleive it could eb any better. ...
