Ilunion Fuengirola

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.

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.

We know the area very well so chose this hotel because of its location. The staff, reception, cleaning and catering were all very friendly and helpful. As a person who has long suffered from hard beds and uncomfortable pillows in Spain I can honestly say they had the best beds and pillows. The room had two comfortable reading chairs on top of the usual desk and chair. There were loads of options for lighting in the room. The safe and kettle were nice additions and supplies were readily available from reception. Breakfast was served at good times and had plenty of choice for all tastes.

Hotel ilunion is in a fabulous location right on the promenade overlooking the beach and sea, so the views are amazing. It’s an easy 5 min walk from los boliches train station and surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. First impressions of the reception and communal areas are very good. The room was a nice size with everything you need and were cleaned every day. The staff were lovely and friendly.

The reception, the staff, the location. The hotel is lit and very cosy atmosphere. Love that there is a pool so if you don't need the beach, you can go for a swim anyway. Cleaning ladies very friendly and flexible.
