By day, wander the paseo or take the kids to the castle-topped hill for coastal views; by night, choose between low-key waterfront bars and lively local music venues.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Outside, a freshwater pool forms the laid-back hub of the hotel with a sun terrace, sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols. It’s a sociable spot for a day by the water without leaving the hotel.
When you fancy a change of scene, stroll around 120m to broad Fuengirola Beach. The coastline here is long, sandy and gently shelving, with a promenade that runs for kilometres – perfect for morning jogs, evening paseos and stops at chiringuitos (beach bars) along the way.
Indoors, there’s a heated freshwater pool located in the spa centre, reserved for adults and ideal for cooler days or a quieter swim.
Spa, sports & wellness
The compact spa offers a calming retreat from the Costa del Sol sunshine, with sauna, steam room and whirlpool to help you unwind, plus a menu of massage and beauty treatments (all spa facilities and treatments carry a charge and are for guests 18+; opening hours can depend on occupancy).
While there’s no full-scale sports complex, the beachfront promenade gives you a natural running and walking route, and local operators in the resort can arrange water sports and excursions. Back at the hotel, a 24-hour reception with concierge-style assistance and luggage storage makes arrival and departure smoother.

Food & drink
Start the day with a generous buffet breakfast and wind down with relaxed dinners at the main restaurant, where show cooking adds a bit of theatre to your evening meal. Expect a mix of Mediterranean favourites and international crowd-pleasers, with highchairs and a microwave on hand for families.
Two bars keep you refreshed throughout the day: the lobby bar for coffees or pre-dinner drinks until late evening, and the pool bar for snacks and chilled drinks between swims (opening times and service can vary with occupancy and season). A smart dress code may apply at dinner, and the hotel generally asks that beachwear isn’t worn in the restaurant. Reservations, supplements and what’s included can differ depending on your board basis and time of year.
