Vive Costa Azul

Overall excellent value for money nowadays. The staff were always helpful. Check in was a couple of minutes. Room facilities were good. Comfortable room, like a small apartment. Beds on the hard side, no big deal. Location is about 75/80 minute walk to marina. But it's an easy scenic walk. If you know the area, you would probably cover that distance normally anyway. Train is right outside the hotel but the trains are electric/hybrid, so you don't really hear them. Wifi was solid. There's space by the pool to enjoy the sun. Around €10 in an uber/taxi to Marina. I'm using Marina as a reference point. Torremolinos about €12-13, Fuengirola centre about €10. So if all you want to do is walk around town and the beach, there's no need to hire a car. Even though the hotel is well out of the town centre, it's cheaper to take the train (door to door, from airport to hotel) and depend on taxis to get around. Or the bus at the bottom of the hill (6-7 min walk).

Good breakfast, although not a lot of options. Friendly staff. Next to train station, easy to reach Malaga and other coastal towns.

A lovely place to return to every time. Joyful crew of staff; pleasant and peaceful area; accessible with public transport (train Fuengirola-Málaga stops in front) and spacious studios with all amenities for a perfect stay.

Location. Ambiance. Cleanliness. Breakfast. Staff.

I like where the hotel is situated, it is great having the train station on the doorstep to visit different places. Staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean, breakfast was basic but nice. Have been to this hotel 8 times and will definitely be back for a 9th 😃
