Ilunion Fuengirola

Excellent location in our favourite part of Los Boliches beach, far enough from the noisiest, most 'undesirable' side of Fuengirola. Room cleanliness and housekeeping staff were brilliant and really accommodating. The room was quiet at night and we weren't disturbed by any outside noises (the previous year at Yaramar we had to have white noise on to mitigate the noise of the elevators all night...). Breakfast options were good but the service was slightly chaotic at times as the room isn't quite large enough for a 'full house' but the staff do their best to turn the tables around as quickly as possible. Poor coffee quality is pretty much the standard across Spain and this was no exception but the variety of bread, fruit and 'hot' options was very much appreciated. We loved that the hotel is pet friendly, even though we couldn't bring our dog. It was nice to meet fellow dog owners and their lovely pooches. The staff overall was great from beginning to end, well done!

Staff was great even though some of them didn't know any English. Breakfast was really nice, good selection of food, with a lovely view of the beach and sea from the huge windows. The bed was OK but not amazing. The reception area was huge and very nicely decorated for Christmas (I was there end of Nov/ start of Dec). The hotel isn't located "down town" but it's right at the beach and close to shops, restaurants and cafés. It's also just a couple of minutes walking distance from the airport train stop.

Breakfast was lovely, if expensive. I guess it caters for people who pile their plates high. We don’t. We just eat what we need. Staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and the drinks were fairly priced. Our final hotel bill was reasonable considering the expense of the one breakfast and dinner we had. We asked for a room with a sea view and a shower, which we got. We were very pleased as not all rooms have both. Thank you.

Great location, lovely balcony overlooking the sea, pleasant and helpful staff, very clean, small fridge in room, huge and comfy bed.

When I booked this hotel in Dec 23 for a stay in April 24, I informed them of our dietary restrictions and asked if they could cater to it. I did not get any reply. I was a bit disappointed. On arrival at the hotel, the reception staff brought out a sheet asking for our dietary restrictions and passed on the information to the kitchen staff. When we went for dinner, Chef Elmar was there and went through the food that was suitable for us. The waiting staff, David, Cmi and all others in the restaurant were equally good and were mindful. The dinner menus were different every day and either Chef Elmar or someone would come and go through the food that was suitable for us. They welcomed us and nothing was a bother for them. Chef Elmar went above and beyond and made food for us that was pure vegetarian. Fried chips for us that were in oil which was all new and have had nothing fried in before. He also fried bread pieces for soup in new oil. We do not have food allergies but are pure vegetarians and try our best to avoid any cross-contamination with non-veg food. This was well looked after and cared for at this hotel. A bit of variety in salads would be advised. The location of the hotel is ideal and fantastic. Train from Malaga airport costs 3.20 euros and the walk to the hotel from Los Boliches railway station is only 4 minutes. A lot of shops and restaurants around the hotel if you want to eat out. The stretch of road in front of the hotel is excellent for raking up 10k steps and more. We went to a local street market 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel was excellent with reasonably priced items and room to haggle. Got my wife a medium-sized carry bag made of cork with a beautiful print. The bag is more for vanity rather than for daily use. It was priced at 25 euros. I got it for 10 euros.
