Occidental Fuengirola

Location is perfect, it’s just outside the center so not so much noice at night. The staff is amazing, specially the cleaningladies were so sweet. Breakfast was really good, poolarea nice and we would really recommend this hotel for a stay!

The hotel,staff,rooms, location, meals,etc were 1st class. We had a excellent time, definitely recommend this hotel. Hopefully see u again.

Great for short stay in the area,near restaurants and beach. Area is quiet and not noisy rooms are nice and clean with a comfy bed.

Booked through Jet2 but picked the hotel as stay frequently at another Barcelo group hotel. The location is great for the beach and the staff very friendly and helpful.

We had a great 14 night stay. Train from airport is €2.70 and taxi from train station less than €10. We had checked in online before arriving. Reception staff friendly and helpful. We were a little too early to get room keys- but we just went to the bar for a drink. Nice outdoor bar- located just before entering pool area. There is also a separate pool bar. Pool towels are available- €10 refundable deposit- they can be changed every 3 days. We had a deluxe room on the 9th floor. Our room was spacious - nice balcony with morning sun. Not a lot of wardrobe space- but we managed. Bathroom had good walk in rainfall shower. Wall dispensers- shower gel, shampoo etc. Fridge and safe in room. We never had to wait too long for the lifts. Hotel is spotless. Lots of seating areas. There is a little clothing/ gift shop. Breakfast is great with something to suit everyone. Hot food includes an omelette station, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, potato, etc. Lots of fresh fruit (included melon, kiwi, pineapple etc), cheeses, cold meats, pate. salad items, cereals, bread, juices, pastries. Cava if you wish. Plenty of tables with some outside. Plenty coffee/tea machines. We did not use the pool - we preferred the beach across the road- 2 beds and umbrella €16- same price all along the beach. Beds by pool were very close together- big groups there at times especially in the afternoon. Pool opens at 10- and a small queue build up. We did have drinks at the outside bar/ restaurant. Would be great if hotel insisted on shirts being worn at this bar and also when walking through hotel and in the lifts. Big golf hotel- but that did not interfere with us. There were a few large groups who came back in the afternoon and could be very loud at pool/ bar area. Nice location- 10 minute walk to Miramar shopping centre in one direction and the old town in the other. Dozens of restaurants/bars to choose from. We had some lovely meals- separately reviewed. Nice little bars around hotel. Lots of shops selling beach items- supermarket about a 5 minute walk. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Great location, steps away from the beachfront and the old town. There are loads of restaurants and bars just yards away. The hotel takes some beating on the quality of their meals however and the prices are very competitive. They serve a great range of quality drinks which are well presented. There is always a cocktail of the day. There is a very lovely atmosphere in the hotel and the service is excellent. The rooms are cleaned daily and are spotless. We had a side sea view which was great. We could see the beach and people walking along the front which was very pleasant. We didn't hear any noise at night and slept very well. The beds and pillows were really comfortable and soft. The shower unit in the room was large and the spray was powerful. Not like some hotels. Plenty of toilet rolls and clean towels. There was a kettle and a fridge in the room. There was coffee and this was refreshed daily. There is also a safe, which you have to pay for using. Our favourite spot to have a drink was just outside the back entrance to the hotel on the way to the swimming pool. It was very cool. There were white sail like canopies to provide shade. There was quiet relaxing music in the background and there was a really nice vibe. There were always sunbeds and umbrellas available. You pay €10 deposit for pool towels and can change them every third day free of charge or you can pay €2 to change it when required. It was my husband's birthday whilst we were there. I didn't say anything to the hotel staff but when we went for breakfast two staff members brought some lovely chocolate cake with a candle and sang happy birthday to him. My husband was really happy and surprised. He really enjoyed it. When we returned to our room early evening we found an ice bucket with a bottle of cava in our room with two champagne glasses and a lovely, thoughful message on a card. We were blown away by this. A personal touch that means alot to people. There is a bus station and train station nearby. We caught the direct bus (no 60 i think) to Marbella. I would recommend this bus as the other bus took us 1hr 45 minutes to return to Fuengirola. It was a great holiday and I would really recommend this hotel. There are no negatives.

Stayed here for 8 nights in mid June, and it was lovely. First and foremost this hotel is spotlessly clean! Everywhere from the rooms to the pool area was immaculate. The food was incredible, not a huge amount of choice but quality over quantity here- fresh cooked fish, steak, chicken etc every night. Service in the restaurant even at busy times was great too. We had a good sized travel cot and baby bath in our room on arrival. I really can’t fault this hotel but if I had to make one comment it would be lack of hanging space in the wardrobes as there was no room for anything full length, you’d have to double it over a hanger. Otherwise a great little gem- quiet, sophisticated, in a great location, clean and comfortable! Thank you Occidental for a great stay

Great hotel, great service, great selection of food, great location. Fantastic cleanliness of hotel, great pool area and bars.

An excellent holiday in your wonderful hotel. We haven’t booked for next year unfortunately because of the treatment we received at Malaga airport. Hence we’ve decided to not to come to Spain in the near future. We usually come to Spain around three times a year.

Hotel is lovely staff great from reception to cleaners excellent. However a la carte restaurant never open. Pool bar not opened till 12 o'clock pool opens 10 am Breezer bar opens 10am however they never have enough staff serving you gad to queue to get a drink Breakfast was no really good the fruit was hard eggs cold. The entertainment was not good. The music played through Hotel and bar was so depressing. The artificial grass area needs a goid clean and disinfected As we constantly were bitten when sitting in the area. Pool lovely but bit cold better access needed for mobility scooters as we got stuck in the revolving door we opened the doors at the side but was very annoying having to keep going in to open them we had room on 10th floor very quiet lift bit slow but had no real problem

10/10 for breakfast gluten free options, important when celiac and travelling that you have confidence in food presented (safe with no cross contamination) Individual plate provided to me every morning with Gluten free bread , pastries etc. Buffet had great selection

Lovely hotel to stay in. It has excellent facilities, lovely swimming pool, a lovely poolside bar area with good service. Overall I found the staff to be very friendly, courteous amd knowledgeable.

Love the Barcelo hotels and the location of this one is perfect. The only thing is the beds i don’t like. If my husband moves in the bed then my side of the bed is extremely moving and it wakes me up. Not because he is heavy but because the bed is not stable

If you are looking for a flawless, stress-free stay with top-tier hospitality, look no further. This hotel is superb in every imaginable way, and we are already planning our return trip!
