Hotel Mainare Playa

What a lovely, clean, friendly hotel. Room was on 3rd floor and so spacious, beds very comfy, so clean and air conditioned. Breakfast was lovely everything you could want and a person doing omelettes and fried eggs, the restaurant was set up for breakfast lovely and the staff were so lovely throughout the hotel. Pool area great plenty of sun beds with umbrellas and trees for shade. The only two things I was disappointed with was no where to put wet clothes on balcony only of chairs then we couldn’t sit out there, need those little airers that fix to wall the other thing was checked out at 12 midday and no facilities to shower and change like most hotels have a shower room, we were told to use pool shower and the toilets but then everyone sees you washing your hair, we paid extra to keep room on. Even though I would still return to this hotel but have earlier flight. Thank you for a nice stay.

Hotel was nice, clean, spacious rooms, staff were friendly, and breakfast was good. Did not use the pool area as only opened at 10 (would have liked every morning swim) and then area was in the shade most of the day, but we chose hotel because of proximity to beach which was 2 mins walk. Had to pay 100 euro deposit on arrival which they charged my card for, not just a hold. I had to email a few days after departure to ask for it, which I thought was bad.

I stayed here for 3 nights with my husband - a quick getaway for some sun while our daughter was away with school. Could not fault the hotel - with the exception of a few issues with the air con - however mentioned it to reception and it was sorted. I've seen reviews critising food - we stayed on a B&B basis and couldn't fault breakfast, there was ample choice of continental type breakfast and a selection of hot, together with breads, eggs cooked fresh to order, pastries - there was more than enough to choose from. We had no experience with dinner - however spoke to some guests who did and they did say it was questionable and after the first night they would probably choose to eat out in the evenings - as there is an abundance of eateries - including bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. We got a taxi (€7 each way) to the marina one evening - and the vibe at that end of fuengirola, is very different to that in the vicinity of this hotel. Near the hotel is very chilled, calm and quiet - the marina is loud music and very busy - not a critism - just both areas are very, very different. The pool area in the hotel is tranquil - the main sound is birds! Beautiful! Our room was adequate, the beds comfy, pillows average, great size room and balcony - which for us was facing the pool and a slight sea view. We will most definitely look to return - without hesitation.

Stayed here with our 5 children (age 5 months - 11 years) and the staff were brilliant, plenty in the hotel and locally for us to do and keep the kids entertained. The staff were amazing with the local power outage and helped us with physical cash due to the atm machines not working so we could get food. Would 100% recommend Beds were comfy and air conditioning was working, the pools were chilly but it didn’t stop the kids
