I stayed at Hotel Las Palmeras during my trip to Fuengirola in February. While the hotel excels in terms of logistics and location, the internal environment may be a challenge for those who prioritize a quiet, sensory-friendly retreat.
The Highlights: Location & Service
Unbeatable Access: The hotel is perfectly situated just a few meters from the harbor and the promenade. It’s an ideal spot for peaceful morning walks by the water before the crowds arrive.
Efficiency: Check-in was a breeze. The staff were friendly, professional, and highly efficient, which made the arrival process much less taxing.
The View: My room featured a balcony with a lovely view of the surrounding area. It’s a great spot to enjoy the coastal air from a private vantage point.
The Environment: Noise Levels
As someone who prefers quieter surroundings, there are a few things to keep in mind regarding the soundscape of this hotel:
External Noise: Depending on your room's placement, you will likely hear the hum of nearby bars and restaurants in the evening. This is typical for such a central location, but worth noting if you are sensitive to ambient city sounds.
Internal Disruptions: The primary drawback was the lack of soundproofing between rooms. I experienced significant noise from the adjoining rooms and corridors—specifically loud conversations, doors banging, and music playing into the early hours. Unfortunately, there seemed to be little consideration from other guests regarding noise levels at night.
If you are looking for a central hub that is steps away from the sea and managed by a great team, Las Palmeras fits the bill. However, if you are sensitive to noise or need a guaranteed quiet environment to recharge, I would recommend requesting a room away from the elevators/main corridors or bringing a high-quality pair of noise-canceling headphones.

The hotel is in a prime location. The hotel needs lots of TLC, but the rooms are very clean and the staff are very welcoming. We understand that the hotel's prime location is a significant advantage. It's also noted that while the establishment may require some attention and care, the rooms are maintained to a high standard of cleanliness. Furthermore, the welcoming nature of the staff has been positively acknowledged. We appreciate you sharing these observations about the hotel's amenities and services.

Met expectations for a 4-star hotel at a price of just over €40 per night with breakfast.
Location is great, breakfast buffet had decent variety and overall everything was very clean, albeit a bit old.
There are a lot of bad reviews, to summarise those. Consider ponying up some extra cash for a different hotel if:
- You expect modern and recently renovated
- You are sensitive to noise. Nearby bars and discos are loud, especially during the weekend

Hotel is over rated, not equal to other 4 star hotels. Rooms are very basic. No kettle, coffee or tea in the room, no iron, no shampoo. Only soap dispenser. Rooms requires refreshments. Poor noise isolation from the outside. No air conditioner in the room, at least not working, even with the card.
Parking is not for free or included. Had to pay extra.
Food was nice. But all juices were concentrated, very strong and sweet. In Spain you would expect fresh juice variety.
Not all staff was nice and welcoming.
Location good. Next to the port and water activities, beach, bars and restaurants.

Not much has changed lately and, although there have been a few improvements, some kind of refurbishment is definitely needed. That said, I genuinely cannot fault the staff — they are all brilliant and work very hard.
One thing though… you really need to put Sergio back at the bar. He was excellent and made a big difference.
Also, a big shout out to Connor — he’s definitely making a difference.
