We normaly stay in that area.
Usualy Calahonda .
But we love Cabopino beach and always visit.
It's not far from La Cala.
Might be worth a look.

Hi ali, we stayed in los boliches in july this year , me, hubby and our 7yr old, we absolutely loved it ! We were glad not to be in the heart of fuengirola, los boliches is only a 15 to 20 min walk , we liked the fact that los boliches is more spanish than the resort center of fuengirola.
Can't help with accomodation really, we stayed in a privately owned apartment in a residential block, on the 7th floor, not so good for you with a little 'un ! however the confortel hotel is frontline, 2 mins from the beach and looked smashing, hope this helps,
cheers,
juby

Ive stayed at Los Boliches several times and prefer it to the centre of fuengirola as its quieter but still handy for the bars, restauraunts, and beach. You can also take the train along the coast. As for accommodation it depends what your after really and what you want to pay. Ive stayed a few times at the Ronda 1V, these are aparthotels and are right on the front cross the road and your on the beach. They are inexpensive and ive always found for the price they are very reasonable. Ive not been there for a couple of years but am going for a short break next week.

Absolutely echo what colin just said, the train station at los boliches is only a few streets back from the beach and we went all over on it for very little euro's, well up and down the line stopping off at some lovely places !
the ronda 1v looked great also, as did the stella maris, you can't go wrong with los boliches, lovely family place, we went for 2 weeks and it wasn't long enough for us ! the beach is fab as are the restraunts and bars, go for it !!!

Hi ali, are you driving from the airport ? The motorway is the easiest drive, we found it not to bad, the coast road however is ( we found) one scary drive ! great way to see other resorts, but I had white knuckles and a dry mouth !!!
Must big up the train from and to the airport, really easy and very, very cheap.
Have fun !
:cheers

I always hire a car when on the CDS and find it easy driving, takes a bit of getting used to roundabouts but that soon becomes second nature. I prefer driving in spain than in england.

Have been going to costa del sol for years and each resort has its own appeal, Los Boliches great :)

Could anyone tell me if the hotel Angela is in the Los Boliches area?

I would say the Hotel Angela its midway between fuengirola and los boliches, the area between the two resorts is one continuous strip, go for it its great! :)
