We booked 2 one bedroom apartments as 2 studios were unavailable at the time. 2 adults in one and my daughter and her 2 children in the other (her partner couldn`t get time off work)we had so much space we spent most of the time in one room.we arrived just after dark and found the lobby a bit din, small and uninviting.
The receptionists were ok but when we took our cases up the outdoor corridors were dark as the lights turn off automatically after a minute and we didn`t know where the switch was so we fumbled along to our rooms.
Not a good first impression but the rooms were lovely with a lot of colourful tiling and very clean. Breakfast was 4 euros but inedible so we didn`t try the lunch @ 6euros.the restaurant across the road was much better. The tiled pavements in the area have seen better days so looks a bit shabby with a fleet of skips along the road which i did find usefull some times.
There was also a homeless old lady camped outside. The restaurants opposite the local supermarket were better than any tourist ones on the front or the `food row` one block in from port.
The tobacco shop opp supermarket was the cheapest in town too. There are 3 zebra crossings to beach (about 5 minutes walk)the cars dont stop unless you are in the road!.

We stayed at Veremar 1 in Fuengiorla it was in the back streets and was very hard to find.
The rooms were basic,and dirty linen on the beds,the only staff we saw was on reception.
Not very friendly there was no entertainment we would not go back to these apartments again.

In my opinion, you get what you pay for... and for what we paid for this hotel I honestly can not find one fault with the hotel.

This is the second time we have visited the Veramar. On both visits we found the rooms adequate and good value for the price we paid.
They were clean and the cleaners visited most days. We had clean bedding changed twice during our stay and the towels were changed on most days. There is a good supermarket in the next block and the local bars are friendly and offer good value food & drinks.
The position is ideal for accessing the main coastal road for touring the area and a nice beach is only 5 minutes walk away (watch out for the traffic). The new shopping centre is also 5 minutes walk.
The staff have always been friendly and helpful. You only get what you pay for and this is good value for money budget accommodation away from the main tourist drag.

The apartments are in a Spanish Residential Area and are popular with Spanish guests.
There is a lot of noise on weekends from the M1 Cafe bar which is open until 4a.m. The hotel also accepts pets in the rooms but these did not bother guests.
The restaurant is only open for private functions but there is a pool bar offering snacks.
There is a large supermarket within a minute offering a good range of British foods, but some of the rooms in the block do not have any cooking facilities.
The beach is a ten minute walk across a very very busy main road. The resort centre is approx a 20 minute walk away.
I would not recommend this hotel for families as there are no facilities for children and the pool is only very small.
The staff are friendly and polite but the entertainment is virtually non existent.

The hotel was a good 5 minutes walk away with many main roads to cross to the centre, the pool was very small,and seemed to be full of spanish locals every day that didnt even seem to be staying at the hotel. I found the bar / reception staff very arrogant and unhelpful apart from the cleaners who did a good job. As we booked independantly we asked for some advice on where train/ bus station was, again no help just given leaflets for excursions and car hire that was no good.
When arriving at the hotel we gave our voucher in and the man on reception just slammed down the key and walked off, no hola, how are you, this way to your room etc. All in all the hotel was ok apart from the staff and the terrible location, far more than 500 metres as seen in brochures, every time you walked past the shops to the resort centre you were stared at like you were an alien by the locals which isnt very nice when you are boosting their economy.

This hotel is situated in the poorer part of Fuengirola
The room was so small, smelled terrible and no kettle. The fridge didn't work. Full of Spanish locals. Lovely view of everyones washing hanging out to dry!

Not sure if we stayed in Veramar 1 or 2 but I have to say it was fab for us! Me and my partner had 2 weeks there on a last minute deal.
Okay it wasn't the plushiest place I've been to but it was clean and in a great location. The apartments were spacious with twin beds, kitchenette, shower and bath! Maid came every other day!
Reception were very friendly and the rep was there when we needed her! So don't be put off by other reviews, if you just want somewhere simple, close to everything! I fully recommend it!

Myself, husband, son his wife and their two boys were in the party so 3 people to a room. The first room we were allocated had no bedding for the spare bed, as we arrived late in the evening we had to cover our grandson with bath towels etc, only two towels in the bathroom, 1 dining chair, hardly any light bulbs.
So at the reps meeting we asked the rep to put things right she was not a bit interested just told us to report it to the duty manager which we did, on coming home from a full day out found nothing had been done, went to see a different duty manager who told us to change rooms which were a lot better, but we were not pleased with the hotel for the duration of our stay thankfully it was only a week.
The Airtours Rep never spoke to us again, on return to the UK complained about her really being a bad Rep and got
