My partner and I have just returned from an 8 night break at the El Puerto Hotel. We cannot really fault the hotel; it is fairly basic (as the majority in Fuengirola seem to be) however it was spotlessly clean, with the rooms cleaned daily and we had fresh towels left each day too. On our first night we had a room facing the back of the hotel. The back of the hotel doesn't have much of a view and overlooks Fish Alley, which is an area with a cluster of restaurants. We thought we would ask the staff at the hotel the next morning if we could change rooms to a room with a sea view. To our surprise they were very accommodating and we moved the following night. What a difference this made. We had a fantastic view of the beach and the marina. We were staying on a b&b board. The breakfast is excellent, and is served from 6.30am-10.30am so plenty of time if you fancy a lie in! There is plenty of choice too from traditional fried food to continental, yougurts, cereal, meats, you name it. The only slight fault I can find, which is of no fault to the hotel is at night time it can get quite nosiy. This is due to the excellent location of the hotel and the fact the people don't seem to go out until well after 10pm, therefore it is not exactly early when they retire for the night! The staff are very friendly at the hotel and during our stay there tended to be a lot of Spanish who are extremely friendly and we found they particularly like it if you make an effort with the lingo, which we did! I would definately stay at the hotel again and would recommend this to any couple of families.
