Lovely week stay
We stayed in a superior side sea view room which was a good size. The room had a fridge and a safe. Tea and coffee replenished every day. The only negative about the room was the lack of storage for long dresses. The balcony was a good size nice to sit on the balcony in the morning having a coffee. At breakfast i did enjoy the omelettes and the Spanish omelette was nice. I enjoyed the salad bar with the different meats and bread. The hot food was good i always found something to eat. There was plenty of variety. The drinks were reasonably priced. I did enjoy the cocktails. The staff are friendly and polite. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Short stay over school holidays with family and friends
Lovely hotel in a great location. Staff in hotel lovely. Pool staff miserable and not child friendly at all. Definitely seemed more adults only. Kids weren’t allowed to do anything in the pool. Even Tiny kids playing ball to eachother on the steps were told off. Kids didn’t want to go to the pool cause they felt they were being watched and told off. Definitely the fun police were there. Lots of couples in the pool snuggling which was ok but kids jumping in not ok. Maybe designate smaller pool to those who want to cuddle and then bigger pool for the kids and families to enjoy.

Dear Michelle,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience following your stay at Occidental Fuengirola.
We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the hotel, its location, the rooms and, in general, the service provided by our team. However, we are genuinely sorry to read about your experience around the pool and, particularly, the impression that the childrens were not made to feel welcome there.
This is certainly not the experience we want families staying with us to have. Our pool area is intended to be enjoyed by guests of all ages, while our pool rules are designed to ensure that everyone can enjoy the area safely and comfortably. It is true that playing with balls in the pool is not permitted, mainly to avoid disturbing other guests and to ensure everyone's safety. Nevertheless, we also believe that the application of these rules should always be accompanied by common sense and an appropriate degree of flexibility, particularly when dealing with very young children and small games that may not actually cause any inconvenience.
Your comments therefore make us question whether the situation was handled in the best possible way. We will share your feedback with our pool team and speak with the lifeguards responsible for ensuring that the pool rules are followed, as we consider it important that our standards are applied with both consistency and good judgement.
We sincerely regret that your children ended up feeling uncomfortable or watched while using the pool, as this is certainly not the atmosphere we want to create for our younger guests.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is important to us, and we will use it to review how these situations are managed so that both families and guests looking for a quieter environment can enjoy our pool area comfortably.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back in the future and provide you with a more enjoyable experience.
Kind regards,
Juan J. Núñez

Magnificent experience with the Barcelo group
The hotel pleasantly meets all the expectations and requirements that one expects to be able to enjoy a good vacation.
The facilities are very well maintained, with plenty of space for recreation, the pool is of good size as is the gym, one of the best I have used in a hotel.
Regarding the food, the quality and variety of the products is very good, the breakfast is very delicious and complete, starting with fresh fruit, and continuing with cold cuts, cheeses, all the variety of milk adapted to each diet, a grill to make eggs to your liking and prepared dishes to complete an English or American breakfast if you prefer.

Estimado Roberto,
Muchas gracias por dedicar unos minutos a compartir una valoración tan completa y positiva tras su estancia en Occidental Fuengirola.
Nos alegra enormemente saber que el hotel ha cumplido con las expectativas que tenía para sus vacaciones y, especialmente, que haya disfrutado de nuestras instalaciones, de la piscina y de nuestro gimnasio. Saber que lo considera uno de los mejores que ha utilizado en un hotel es, sin duda, un reconocimiento que nos hace especial ilusión.
También agradecemos mucho sus palabras sobre nuestra propuesta gastronómica. Intentamos precisamente ofrecer una variedad suficiente para que cada huésped pueda encontrar aquello que más disfruta, y nos alegra que haya valorado especialmente la calidad y variedad del desayuno, desde la fruta fresca y los diferentes tipos de leche hasta la plancha preparada al momento.
Gracias igualmente por confiar en el Grupo Barceló y por compartir su experiencia con otros viajeros. Este tipo de comentarios son una gran motivación para todo nuestro equipo.
Esperamos tener el placer de volver a darle la bienvenida muy pronto y seguir estando a la altura de sus expectativas.
Reciba un cordial saludo,

Good hotel, but some frustrating policies
Overall we had a decent stay at the Occidental, but a few things stopped it being a 4-star review.
The location is great for the beach, although it’s around a 10–15 minute walk to the main concentration of restaurants and bars.
We only ate breakfast at the hotel. There’s a really good range, although the hot food wasn’t great. Fruit, breads, cheeses and meats were all good.
Our room was fairly standard and not particularly big. It was fine rather than memorable, although the sink not draining properly was annoying. Noise levels were good — generally a pretty quiet hotel with mainly adults and not loads of kids running around. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, although entertainment is fairly limited if that’s something you’re looking for.
The pool is a great size with a shallow end for kids and a proper deep end, but the rules and lifeguarding let it down. No balls or inflatables despite no obvious signage, yet pool noodle battles are apparently fine. Some lifeguards were attentive; others spent far too much time on their phones. Three large plant pots also obstruct their view of parts of the pool, including the deep end, which seems an odd setup.
The strangest moment was when a bird pooed on my pool towel and I asked to swap it. I was told towels can only be changed every three days unless you pay. Turns out that genuinely is hotel policy. For a premium hotel, picking a fight over a couple of euros to replace a bird- covered towel seems a strange choice!
Drinks were reasonably priced, the beach location is excellent and there’s plenty to like. Sort out some of the petty pool policies and improve the lifeguarding and this could easily be a 4/5.
As it stands, a fair 3/5

Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your stay at Occidental Fuengirola. We are pleased to know that you appreciated our location, the breakfast selection, the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel and the size of our pool.
We are sorry, however, that some aspects of your experience did not fully meet your expectations. We have taken note of your comments regarding the room, the pool area and the service provided, and we will share them with the relevant teams.
Regarding the pool towels, the three-day change policy is primarily part of our environmental sustainability measures, helping us avoid unnecessary consumption of water and resources. That said, we completely agree that there are circumstances where some flexibility and common sense should prevail, and we are sorry that this was not the case when your towel was soiled by a bird. We will discuss this particular situation with the pool team to ensure that our procedures are applied with the necessary consideration for each individual circumstance.
We are also sorry if any aspect of the pool supervision gave you the impression that our standards were not being consistently maintained. Your observations have been noted and will be reviewed with the team responsible.
Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We genuinely appreciate both the positive aspects you highlighted and the points where you feel we can do better, as they help us continue improving the experience we offer our guests.
Kind regards,
