Playabonita is a pretty dated hotel, but you can see the owners did a lot to improve the look of it. The circulation areas and corridors have been recently refurbished, with a nice result. The rooms had also been refurbished, but not as thoroughly as the latter. You can see it just by looking to the floor (outdated worn out... more

I also cannot understand all the negative comments about this hotel. I thought the hotel had excellent standards. All the rooms faced the sea and were cleaned daily. In fact everything was cleaned daily and I was very impressed to see the morning routine of cleaning the pool area, hosing down the promenade, cleaning the playground, wiping the sand of... more

I booked this hotel at the last minute for a 5 night stay in October. Not having arranged a transfer from Malaga airport, it was necessary to make my own way to the hotel, which proved surprisingly easy (and cheap) by taking the Fuengirola train from the airport, getting off at Torremuelle, and strolling down the hill for a few... more

This was our second visit this year to this hotel.My partner and I came in April and we reterned with two teenage daughters at the end of July.The eldest daughter was 18 and the younger was 16 and they loved it. The only reason I have not given 5 star rating is that in peak season the pool area in... more

On arrival it all looked fine. The room was a good size with large comfortable beds, balcony and a good sized bathroom, plus a musty smell which despite constant airing and sleeping with the balcony door open each night, persisted throughout our one week stay. Dinner on the evening we arrived, was fine, but the quality of the food deteriorated... more

I have just returned from a two weeks stay with my three children 15,10 and 10, we are so glad to be home and could not wait to leave this place ! We always go AI but this hotel has put me off completely. After 5 days my kids were asking me to try and get a flight home as... more
