Hotel El Puerto by Pierre Vacances

Whilst we enjoyed our stay at the hotel it was a let down on two areas. Firstly the a/c wasn't working. This was corrected by the hotel giving us an electric heater. We were further assisted by the cleaning staff giving us extra bed covers. So all was good. Secondly the feature of this hotel is the rooftop pool area and bar. Christmas day we had to queue to get in as it was full. Now if it had been all guests OK, but no they allow the public in to use the bar, thereby denying hotel guests to enter. We were not the only guests to complain about this. But overall it was good, but not to rush back.

Located on sea front, modern rooms, spotless & so comfortable. Fab roof top pool, with sky bar , seating area & sun loungers overlooking beach

Pros: Hotel is nice and pretty, I loved the view from the balcony and the Pool & SkyBar was excellent overall. Good place to stay when staying in Fuengirola for weekend. Housekeepers are consistent. Cons: The beds of the hotel rooms were slightly below average as the mattresses weren't comfortable Services for parking & rules at the pool have a lot to be desired; during the reception, we were advised that cost of the parking was expected to be approximately 30 Euros for the two nights but were later advised that there is an additional cost of 50 Euros totalling 80 Euros. This was immediately cancelled and we chose to stick with local Parking. The rules at the pool were a bit confusing for my travel companions. Firstly; they were advised they could not be at the poolside while shirtless but we've seen people shirtless on the poolside, later on we were told this is allowed so as long as you are not walking around the Sky Bar. The Main issue we had at the hotel were the efficiency of elevators & how poorly they're positioned at the hotel as the hotel does have two buildings combined. Example: If your room has a balcony overseeing the city, you will need to get an elevator down to the reception, and then walk across to the second elevator and take this to the pool. There is only one elevator that leads to the pool There are 3 elevators that lead you to the hotel rooms. They are very slow, the weight limit is inaccurate & it sometimes never reaches your floor

Close to all bars, restaurants and shops. Its got all the necessary amenities one needs (apart from a kettle!!) Seaview was lovely. The skybar drinks are very expensive but again noce views.

Hotel was central and clean, problems having to wait for lifts and being on holiday i did not appreciate the cleaners knocking on door to clean at 9 am, other than that hotel was spot on

The Skybar with Pool & views from the Balconys. Excellnt Breakfast. The beds could have a little softer with some extra bedmatress.
