Beautiful boutique hotel

We had 2 nights at La Fonda and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a beautiful old building that has recently been sympathetically renovated. Beautiful spacious bedroom with large en suite. The pool area, sun terrace and foyer are stunning. Good choice of hot and cold food for breakfast.

Over all the hotel is not bad but I think it is becoming a bit rundown there needs to be more attention to the customer gardeners filling up water buckets at breakfast lots of rubbish in plane sight from the breakfast balcony no bar available at times. But in a good location.

What a find! In Benalmadena Pueblo. The old village is a delight. Quiet lots of restaurants and nice bars/easy link to Mijas and train station by bus. Too far if you want easy access to beach snd front - but we didn’t. The only downside is lack of bar but there’s loads nearby. Visitors must go to cafe below the hotel where the local Flamenco Chour practices. Cheap and hood food

Pueblo short break

Had a 4 night stay at La Fonda, spent most of my time on the upper terrace relaxing on either a sunbed or chair. The terrace has been very nicely designed with lots of greenery and laid out allowing you to have privacy. Lovely views of the ocean. My room was very nice and comfortable with everything that I needed, particularly the tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was very nice, plenty of choice and the option of ordering eggs cooked to your choice. Only downside was that the hot offering wasn't as hot as I like it, that said their was a microwave available. Would I stay there again, absolutely

There was a lot of construction going on while we visited. So, it was quite noisy and messy in the hotel. Our room was clean, but I think there must have been some recent renovation because it smelled quite a bit of paint. The staff were nice and the included breakfast was good. I recommend not staying on the first floor, however. The room was close to the restaurant, so that made sleeping difficult because of the noise. Also, one night there was a man having an argument with someone and we could hear everything. It persisted off and on until after midnight, at which point we called the front desk. To be fair, the noise stopped immediately, and we didn’t hear anything else for the rest of our stay. Parking was convenient but requires some technical driving skills getting into the garage and spaces.

Way under expectations

We stayed for 3 weeks. The receptionists allways seemed like they didnt want any guests. Never smiling or being helpful. The cleaning staff were very friendly, and the rooms are very clean. The kitchen staff are very nice, and friendly. The food is good, but allways the same. This Hotel is the most noisy hotel we ever visited. Our room was in the top, so we could hear people slamming their doors, listening to music or talking extremely loud, several times each night. We never slept more than 2 hours in a row. The Hotel, as a building, is very clean, and well maintained.
