After reading mixed reviews of the Las Piramides hotel we were a little apprehensive on arrival. All I can say is that we could not have asked for a better hotel. …

Hi, we have just returned from a holiday at the Yaramar hotel in Fuengirola, lovely & clean, staff very friendly. Right on the seafront with easy walking in either direction. Excellent for anyone with a disability as it’s very flat & the pavements have been specially made with dips in for wheel chairs. …

Do not stay in the Angela hotel unless you are 60+, it’s like a retirement home/morgue! If someone offered me this hotel for £100 for a week, I definitely wouldn’t bother, let alone the £1000 we paid. …

Arrived early morning at the Fuengirola Beach hotel, all the staff very nice & helpful. The room was clean & basic but we didn’t stay in the room long enough to fault anything. The beach is just a short walk away, I think most people took the long way round but we found a short cut & it only took 5 minutes. …

Just got back from a superb holiday on the Costa Del Sol at the Holiday Village. If you have kids this is the place to go but go all inclusive - the food was superb, plenty of choice & theme nights too. The hotel is spotless, location re. Fuengirola not the best but there are other places near by.
The staff were superb & could not do enough for you. The entertainment for the kids was very good, as for the adults not that good, but we went there for the kids. Will go again for sure.

basic hotel but no complaints with it. rooms cleaned daily and also clean towels. bar and restuarant next door gives 10% discount on sight of key to room. literally a 30 second walk from beach across the road. would be a 20min walk from main nightlife area but all in all a good base

Following advice I took the train from Malaga Airport to Los Boliches, the stop before Fuengirola. Incidentally the train station IS now signposted from the Arrivals level in the airport. Quite a walk from the terminal to the station: might not be good in very hot or wet weather. Very easy transfer by train and then just a couple of hundred yards to walk from the station to the hotel.
Had a very large room - two double wardrobes, large bathroom, double bed, two seater sofabed, desk etc., and a balcony with a view straight out to sea.
Lovely quiet hotel, which suited me. I would say it is not especially geared to families with young or teenage children, though there is a public play area right next door.
Breakfast was buffet style. Didn’t seem to change from day to day, but offered a good variety, ranging from fresh fruit, canned fruit, dried fruit, cereal, cold meats and cheeses, lettuce and tomato, bacon, baked beans, fried eggs, several varieties of sausage and numerous kinds of bread. Tea and coffee were both readily available.
There is a bar and on Friday night I noticed a keyboard had been set up. I didn’t use the bar, as it seemed rather dark and characterless and there were several local bars nearby.
The location is right on the seafront. Out of the hotel turn right and walk along towards the centre of Fuengirola. Behind the hotel is a largely Spanish suburban area, note especially well-to-do, but interesting. There are good supermarkets and a department store (El Corte del Ingles) nearby.
