This 133-room, value hotel is located in Los Boliches, just across the street from the beach and promenade. The Apartamentos La Jabega offers 119 studio-style apartments and 14 two-bedroom apartments, all of which are outdated but equipped with furnished balconies, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Kitchenettes are in all of the rooms as well, though while they have the basics -- mini-fridges, toasters, stovetop burners -- some guests have complained about the lack of microwaves. There are almost no amenities to speak of, except for a snack bar and free Wi-Fi, though easy access to the beach is a plus. Travelers looking for an aparthotel with more on-site features, including a pool, should consider the Fuengirola Beach Aparthotel.

Scene
Apartment-style property that primarily attracts couples
The Apartamentos La Jabega has a simple peach exterior with balconies jutting out, while inside, the lobby has a ton going on. There are floor-to-ceiling marble, a mix of crushed-velvet and chunky bamboo furniture, wrought-iron accents, and still life artwork. While a bit busy, the look is pleasant and as more personality than the rooms and dining area. Aside from the restaurant and bar, which has nightly entertainment, there's little to do on-site, and most guests -- primarily couples -- spend their time at the nearby beach and restaurants.
Location
In an area full of restaurant and bar options, and close to the beach
Located in Los Boliches, guests of Apartamentos La Jabega are in a great spot across the street from the beach and adjacent promenade. There are ample restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, including notables such as Cafe Sol y Mar (18 minutes), Bar Mundi (2 minutes), and Pan y Chocolate (18 minutes). The Los Boliches train station is a nine-minute walk from the hotel.
Rooms
Basic, apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes
This aparthotel offers 119 studio-style apartments and 14 two-bedroom apartments with decor that is basic at best. They feature minimal wood furniture, drab bedding and upholstery, and a few scattered wood-framed prints along the walls. All rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, well-sized furnished balconies, and small kitchenettes. The kitchenettes offer basic gear for self-catering, including mini-fridges, toaster ovens, two-burner stoves, coffeemakers, and various utensils, though notably missing are microwaves. Bathrooms have floor-to-ceiling neutral-colored tiles, with either walk-in showers or shower/tub combos, bidets, hairdryers, and a few free bath products. Note that safes require a fee and some previous guests have complained of late-night noise -- worse for those on lower levels.
Features
No pool, but there is easy beach access
As far as features go, Apartamentos La Jabega doesn't offer much. Unlike most hotels in the area, this aparthotel doesn't have a pool (or gym) on-site. Fortunately, the beach is just a quick walk across the street, and guests can rent sunbeds and umbrellas there. A small playground for kids can also be found on the beach. Back at the hotel, there isn't much to do aside from utilizing the free, reliable Wi-Fi and dining at the ground-floor snack bar. Food receives good reviews and there's nightly entertainment at the bar.
