Hotel Florida
in
Fuengirola
,
Costa Del Sol
Set just metres from the beach, Hotel Florida has a setting that’s hard to beat.
It’s the location that scores top marks here. You’ll find it right in the heart of Fuengirola, overlooking the harbour. The beach is a short hop from the doorstep. And there are several golf courses in the area, too. The city of Malaga is about a 30-minute drive away, or you can catch the train from the centre of town.
Setting aside, the pool area is impressive, too. The rectangular swimming pool is quite small but more than adequate for the number of guests, and - as it’s sheltered by the hotel buildings - the terrace is a real sun trap. There’s a poolside bar on hand, too, where snacks are served right through the day.
As for the property itself, it’s simply-styled, glass-trimmed and 12 floors high. Willy Wonka-style glass elevators offer up amazing views. And the lobby and restaurants are spotlit spaces dressed with marble floors and potted plants. The bedrooms, meanwhile, are modern with pale green walls, chunky wood furniture and floral linens. In-room extras include satellite TVs and small fridges, not to mention a slate and marble bathroom.
Last but not least, is the spa – which is said to be one of the best in Andalucia. Try the hydrotherapy pool where massages come courtesy of fountains, jets and waterfalls. Or the signature treatments such as the chocolate body wrap are well worth paying a little extra for.

Your guide to Fuengirola, Costa Del Sol
“Half way between Torremolinos and Marbella, both in location and atmosphere, Fuengirola is filled with fun.”
Fuengirola’s main attraction is its five miles of Blue Flag beaches, stretching either side of the busy marina. Edged by spacious promenade and lined with palm trees and flower beds, it’s the perfect spot for some serious sun time. And then there’s the restaurants. Serving everything from traditional Spanish to English, you’re bound to find something that tickles your tastebuds.
Generally Fuengirola caters for those who want to soak up the sun and play watersports, rather than immersing themselves in heaps of local history and culture. But there are a few sights to see with the Moorish Castillo de Sohail featuring high on the hit list. And for a family outing there’s the Fuengirola zoo where, amongst other things, you can watch crocodiles basking on the simulated shores of the Nile and Sumatra tigers bathing beside a recreated Angkor temple.
Shopping-wise, Fuengirola will keep most bargain hunters busy. And on Tuesdays you can browse the bustling street market on the Avenida Jesus Santos Rien - the biggest you’ll find anywhere in this part of Spain. If you do crave a little more Andalucian atmosphere, Los Boliches, Fuengirola’s neighbour, still retains some of its fishing village characteristics.
Alternatively, head inland to the classic ‘pueblo blanco’ of Mijas, hire a donkey taxi and take a tour of the narrow, cobbled streets. Fuengirola’s nightlife is low key compared to Torremolinos, although there are plenty of lively bars. And if you fancy a flutter, there’s always the late night horse racing at the Hipodromo del Costa Del Sol near Mijas, which takes place every Saturday throughout the summer. If you’re the betting sort, Fuengirola’s a winner every time.

We have stayed at the Hotel Florida on three separate occasions, most recently for a week at the beginning of January 2011. This hotel is superb. We are vegetarians and the choice and quality of food on offer is unparalleled at any hotel we have stayed... more on this review
