Overall Ratings & Reviews Occidental Fuengirola

Our stay was pretty good. We had a junior suite. There was nowhere to hang dresses, especially long ones, which I tend to wear on holiday. Otherwise it was fine. Dressing gowns were also provided and the bath towels are huge. Magic! The breakfasts were good, but evening meals a bit samey. We went out for meals for most of the week. Its a half hour walk to the town centre, but the taxis are reasonable. This is an estimate from an elderly lady. Younger people would take much less. A longer walk along the front brings you to night clubs etc. There are plenty of supermarkets local to this hotel and lots of seafront cafes and restaurants. The hotel has a huge swimming pool and a smaller one for children. It is all well maintained inside and out. A shop in the reception area and also a bar are very nice.

The friendly staff checked us in quickly and on our arrival to our room we fond a bottle of Cava and chocolates! This is my second stay (I had to bring my wife to take in the beachfront atmosphere and great location for exploring the shops, bars and restaurants along the beach walkway). We even walked to the castle! Thanks to all the staff at Occidental Fuengirola!

Excellent hotel and great location

This was our second day at the Occidental, unfortunately that air-conditioning was not working for our day which we were not made aware of on check in. Our room was ready early when we arrived and we were allocated to the ninth floor with a balcony and partial sea view which was very nice. Unfortunately without Aircon, it was just too hot at night even with the patio doors open so we did struggle to sleep. I do have an outside food bar and drinks bar. The sun lounges are comfortable and they provide towels. The occidental is in a great location. We got the train from Malaga airport to Fuengirola and then walked with our cases to the hotel which was about 10 to 15 minutes away. There is plenty to do within walking distance of this hotel.

The hotel was fine in appearance and the room was standard. The breakfast was too busy and chaotic. The chef cooking the eggs was poor with badly prepared food. The room was very hot. When I asked reception to get someone to look at our air conditioning, I was informed that the hotel can provide either hot or cold air, as it was cool outside, they were only providing hot air to keep the hotel warm. We had to leave the patio door wide open all night to get any sleep. Overall, the hotel is very average and far too busy for the facilities available.

Excellent stay good location,restaurant clean and pleasant breakfast choices. Would definitely use hotel again.

Great location. Close to the beach.

Excellent hotel with lovely friendly & helpful staff.

Try it

Christmas Eve gala dinner was great. Christmas Day was disappointing

Hotel room junior suite was great and breakfast but sadly evening meal wasn’t good … not in English so had to google to see what were eating and was very Mediterranean so not to our taste. That’s only thing that spoiled our stay… we ended up eating out although we’d paid for half board.

Great location. Very nice and modern hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Loved this hotel. Great location and staff very helpful. Our room was lovely.

Staff friendly, decent sized room, comfy bed, great shower, nice communal areas. Would have expected tea and coffee making facilities in the room for the price and not to have to pay extra to use the safe!

Wonderful hotel on the edge of fuengirola Great breakfast and very friendly and helpful staff

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel, from start to finish it was excellent. The staff were wonderful, the facilities were second to none and the breakfast buffet was sublime. The hotel is a 18 minute walk from the train station or around 8 euros in a Uber. The bars and restaurants are on the doorstep. I would not hesitate to visit this hotel again the next time I’m in the area.

Old and rundown. Two smaller elevator for so many people. Rooms are outdated. Front desk not friendly I should have taken the hint with the negative attitude when I tried to change a reservation. Information. On hotels.com website is not accurate. Very rude when we checked out to get support to bring car to the entrance to help elderly parents (89 and 94). They could care less

Buffet was terrible, both breakfast and dinner. Location not great… NO AIR CONDITIONING. I was told they turn it off for winter but we have travelled world wide and never had this happen until Spain. There winter months are hot and guests who paid should have a option to use

Very clean, friendly and efficient always consistent with every stay

Virginia working at the front desk was the most helpful. The other staff not so much/
