Excellent location in our favourite part of Los Boliches beach, far enough from the noisiest, most 'undesirable' side of Fuengirola. Room cleanliness and housekeeping staff were brilliant and really accommodating. The room was quiet at night and we weren't disturbed by any outside noises (the previous year at Yaramar we had to have white noise on to mitigate the noise of the elevators all night...). Breakfast options were good but the service was slightly chaotic at times as the room isn't quite large enough for a 'full house' but the staff do their best to turn the tables around as quickly as possible. Poor coffee quality is pretty much the standard across Spain and this was no exception but the variety of bread, fruit and 'hot' options was very much appreciated. We loved that the hotel is pet friendly, even though we couldn't bring our dog. It was nice to meet fellow dog owners and their lovely pooches. The staff overall was great from beginning to end, well done!

-Breakfast experience could be improved in some ways: reducing the wait for tables, reducing noise (didn't see any extra space but a 'family area' could be an option?), reducing waiting time for supplies to be replaced when running out or improving the quality of coffee.

Staff was great even though some of them didn't know any English. Breakfast was really nice, good selection of food, with a lovely view of the beach and sea from the huge windows. The bed was OK but not amazing. The reception area was huge and very nicely decorated for Christmas (I was there end of Nov/ start of Dec). The hotel isn't located "down town" but it's right at the beach and close to shops, restaurants and cafés. It's also just a couple of minutes walking distance from the airport train stop.

The hotel room unfortunately looked a bit run down and dirty in places. It would benefit a renovation. The pool area only had sun until around 11am in Nov/Dec. It would have been nice to be able to sit outside and sunbath in the afternoon.

Great location, lovely balcony overlooking the sea, pleasant and helpful staff, very clean, small fridge in room, huge and comfy bed.

When I booked this hotel in Dec 23 for a stay in April 24, I informed them of our dietary restrictions and asked if they could cater to it. I did not get any reply. I was a bit disappointed. On arrival at the hotel, the reception staff brought out a sheet asking for our dietary restrictions and passed on the information to the kitchen staff. When we went for dinner, Chef Elmar was there and went through the food that was suitable for us. The waiting staff, David, Cmi and all others in the restaurant were equally good and were mindful. The dinner menus were different every day and either Chef Elmar or someone would come and go through the food that was suitable for us. They welcomed us and nothing was a bother for them. Chef Elmar went above and beyond and made food for us that was pure vegetarian. Fried chips for us that were in oil which was all new and have had nothing fried in before. He also fried bread pieces for soup in new oil. We do not have food allergies but are pure vegetarians and try our best to avoid any cross-contamination with non-veg food. This was well looked after and cared for at this hotel. A bit of variety in salads would be advised. The location of the hotel is ideal and fantastic. Train from Malaga airport costs 3.20 euros and the walk to the hotel from Los Boliches railway station is only 4 minutes. A lot of shops and restaurants around the hotel if you want to eat out. The stretch of road in front of the hotel is excellent for raking up 10k steps and more. We went to a local street market 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel was excellent with reasonably priced items and room to haggle. Got my wife a medium-sized carry bag made of cork with a beautiful print. The bag is more for vanity rather than for daily use. It was priced at 25 euros. I got it for 10 euros.

It is my humble advice and a strong recommendation to all the hotels that when serving the food, kindly put veg, vegan and non-veg options on different tables. Try to do the same in the kitchen. This reduces the chances of cross-contamination. However, the non-vegetarians have no fucking clue about cross-contamination and they would NOT BOTHER to use different tongs if veg and non-veg items are placed side by side. I have seen this even in 5-star hotels and this puts me off from putting that food item on my plate further REDUCING the food I can have.

Breakfast was lovely, if expensive. I guess it caters for people who pile their plates high. We don’t. We just eat what we need. Staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and the drinks were fairly priced. Our final hotel bill was reasonable considering the expense of the one breakfast and dinner we had. We asked for a room with a sea view and a shower, which we got. We were very pleased as not all rooms have both. Thank you.

Our room could’ve been cleaned a bit better. There were tablets on the floor from the previous guests and they remained there throughout our stay.

We know the area very well so chose this hotel because of its location. The staff, reception, cleaning and catering were all very friendly and helpful. As a person who has long suffered from hard beds and uncomfortable pillows in Spain I can honestly say they had the best beds and pillows. The room had two comfortable reading chairs on top of the usual desk and chair. There were loads of options for lighting in the room. The safe and kettle were nice additions and supplies were readily available from reception. Breakfast was served at good times and had plenty of choice for all tastes.

The bathroom, although large, was poorly designed. It was difficult to get in and out of the bath and possibly dangerous if the bath was slippy. Also difficult to reach bath plug because of the wall being used instead of a shower curtain. The wall was not long enough to keep the water from flooding the bathroom floor.

Lovely hotel located across the road from the beach. The buffet breakfast and the buffet evening meals were good. We would certainly return to llunion. The view out of the bedroom window, first thing in the morning was to die for.

Minor things The toiletries in the room were basic (small bar of soap and a refillable shower gel hung on wall) The hotel notes it caters for gluten free meals and indeed you could get gluten free bread on request. More difficult was figuring out what of the buffet items was gluten free as no signage. The staff were always very busy particularly at breakfast so just had to avoid some foods. I asked the chef re some of the evening meals and even the coleslaw type sides were glutenous. Really all that is needed is some additional signage at each of the food trays.

Hotel ilunion is in a fabulous location right on the promenade overlooking the beach and sea, so the views are amazing. It’s an easy 5 min walk from los boliches train station and surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. First impressions of the reception and communal areas are very good. The room was a nice size with everything you need and were cleaned every day. The staff were lovely and friendly.

I booked a side sea view room but the balcony was very small just enough room for a table and 2 chairs, personally I would book a sea view room just for the larger balcony. The pool area is quite small and only gets sun until just after lunchtime, but there is a beach across the road.

Great welcome, Michael and staff, thank you, will be back.Room, old fashion and tired, need to bring a more updated fixture and fittings,very clean. Across road from a fabulous beech.Train to all close by towns and only 100 meters from hotel, most importantly direct line to Malaga Airport.Bar food available throughout day. Great lobby, and just finished a lovely outdoor space, where you can sit and watch the world go by.

All was good.

The reception, the staff, the location. The hotel is lit and very cosy atmosphere. Love that there is a pool so if you don't need the beach, you can go for a swim anyway. Cleaning ladies very friendly and flexible.

Small things like cracks and small spots on the walls. A craftsman/janitor could easily fix a lot of it within a day. A suggestion: Put op water saving taps. They are better for the enviroment and it is better for your economy - e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32333114323.html There was a bit of noice hence my room was near the elevator, but it is what it is
