Several complaints of cold to lukewarm food at buffet
The 320-room Occidental Fuengirola is a mid-range property with a prime beachfront location on the promenade in Fuengirola, about a 15-minute walk from the town center. Rooms have modern amenities such as air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges, but Wi-Fi and safes come at a cost. Features include an outdoor pool, spa with sauna and whirlpool, and multiple restaurants and bars -- though food receives less-than-stellar reviews. Also note that use of the sauna requires a fee. In general, this hotel caters primarily to couples, so families may prefer the more kid-friendly Apartamentos NuriaSol nearby.

Features
Pool, wellness facilities, and multiple dining options
While there's plenty to do outside the hotel doors, there are substantial facilities on-site as well. Aside from beach access -- which is a big draw for many guests -- the main outdoor pool is well-sized, surrounded by plenty of free sunbeds and umbrellas, and has a seasonal pool bar next to it. Spa facilities include a jacuzzi, sauna, and massage rooms, and there is also a beauty salon on the property; all of these features will cost extra, though.
All rates include a buffet breakfast, and there are multiple bars and restaurant throughout the property. Food at the buffet restaurant receives many complaints for its cold to lukewarm temperature, however. Half-board packages can be purchased. Wi-Fi is free and reliable in the lobby.
