Angela Hotel

A hotel that deserves 5 star rating, the staff, cleanliness, food, location all contributed to making our first stay as pleasant as we could have wished for. It must be good, so many people were on re-visits to the same hotel,. Only a couple of gripes;Limited TV channels in English & beds that slide away from the bed-head when you try to sit up in bed.On the super-plus side, room safes are free of charge. As yet, never been dissappointed with Thomson [Tui] hotels,even their aircraft now have ample leg-room, though their rep in the Angela was way below standard,

Stayed at this hotel in November for one week, a party of 10 adults, and found the hotel to be well above the average 4 star hotel. Liked tea making facilities in room and replenished every day, wouldn't pay the 16 euros for the use of the fridge, but probably would have in the summer. The food was much better than in other hotels we have stayed in and the staff were very pleasant. Hotel was spotlessly clean though the entertainment left a lot to be desired unless you were of the older generation, but as a base would definetly stay there again. One word of warning, we left our cases and hand luggage in room by reception while waiting to be picked up, I have £60 taken from my purse, the thief was very clever I had 2 lots of money in my purse and £40 was taken from £70 and £20 taken from a separate £60, I didn't notice until back in UK, but have informed travel agent of the problem, mainly because most of the guests were quite elderly and would be an easy target.

This was my second visit to the Angela my first being 10 years ago when we accompanied my parents on their Golden Wedding Anniversary.It was still as bright and clean as I remembered it , the Head Waiter in the resteraunt was still there The Staff are very pleasant, and extremely helpful, we used the train quite a lot when there, it was a very affordable way of getting around, the highlight has got to be riding in the new cablecar high above Benemadena to the mountains where there is an excellent bird sanctuary, and of course not forgetting Mijas one of the most beautiful Spanish Villages I have ever been to. Altogether the hotel, the surrounding area, and the easy transportation system, seems definatly worth another visit in the new year.

We were shocked when we arrived at this hotel. We seemed to be the youngest people there (us in our 30s and everyone else around 60+ except for one or two other couples). We saw a few other young couples book OUT the next morning after complaining to their rep. I dont have a problem with age but I do have a problem with hotel staff (especially dining staff) going out of their way to help the aged and being very courteous whilst not displaying the same level with younger couples. If you are going as a single person, dont book into this hotel. It is for couples and families. I booked this through Thomsons holidays who claim it to be a 4 star hotel - NO WAY. I would say it is a 3 star. nIf you want a good 4 star, book into confortel, a hotel just down the road which looks rather snazzy. The hotel rep also told me that they tend to have a more balanced crowd during peak holiday periods (I did go out of season). There are good points to this hotel however. a) The beach is on the doorstep of the hotel b) Fuengirola is lovely with lots to do and only a short trip to Torremolinos c) The pool was almost empty most days with no one hogging it. The pool is a bit small but okay to swim in circles. I'm not sure they clean it that often though d) The food was immaculate - great choice, great tasting. You did not have to queue for the food as the hotel is so organised at getting people in and out of the restaurant e) If you are over the age of 50 and planning to go as a couple, you will probably love the hotel f) If you are young and single you will probably hate it here g) If you are a young couple who simply plan to use the hotel as a base place to stay, then you'll probably enjoy it like we did (we decided to actively make our holiday enjoyable by doing lots, and we did) The Rooms: quite small and very basic. They provide twin beds and my bed was awful - back pain after 2 days. Shower bath okay and clean, outside balcony reasonable size. No internet access (surprise surprise). Cleaning service good. The common areas of the hotel: 1970s decor that has not been changed. Evening entertainment and music all geared at the older "roll out the barrel" generation. Nothing whatsoever for us younger or middle aged folk. Like I said, if you are taking your gran, or mum on hols, she'll love it. Tips: There is a Thomson desk with a folder on it which details what previous holiday makers have done and recommend. Very worthwhile looking at it. By the way, if you are booking with Thomson, their reps are really helpful and pleasant. Dont drink Spainish water. Buy bottled water and make tea etc with that. apparently our bodies cant cope with their mineral content. Summary: Okay hotel but wish I'd booked into Confortel, Fuengirola which looks and behaves like a 4star hotel

We have just returned from a 2 week stay in Hotel Angela Fuengirola and found it very comfortable and good variety of food. The hotel was very well kept with very friendly staff. The position of the hotel was right in the middle of everything going on in Fuengirola, with lovely walks along a very long promenade. The hotel had a very good enternainment schedule, with music and dancing in the Lounge area and individual entertainment down in e Disco area. Lastly the Hotel was very quiet inside, especially in the evenings. from Mr. & Mrs. Jenner

We normally stay at the sister hotel, the Yarama, far superior but more expensive. We therefore accepted the reduction in the quality of the food and rooms but it is in an excellent position and many guests come year after year. However, out of season they are mostly over 60's. The staff reasonably friendly and tolerant although some more smiles at Reception are needed. Our first week was in a room overlooking a side road but overlooked by another block and had little sun. We asked to move to a room overlooking the sun terrace, much quieter and sun from noon to night. Evening entertainment average but there are plenty of other hotels nearby to visit for entertainment. Wine expensive in restuarant but two-for-one drinks available at times during the day and evening. Plenty of sun-beds but no beach towels. Our package cost about £37 per person per day, DBB including flight so we accepted it wasn't the best, but good value. P.S. Do ask for a sun terrace room, it made all the difference.

we have been to this hotel now for the last three years and had a good time , good company, good room, and good food up to this year i thought that the food had gone down a little, but you could always find something to eat.the room service was as allways excellent, rooms are always clean and fresh linnin every four days all the staff are very helpful and the entertainment is ok, just one problem that the hotel has, there is not one room that is no smoking we could not go down to the disco room for the cabaret, and in the lounge it was very smoky at times, it all depends on the people that come to the hotel we have always had a good time there we like it very much, we have already booked for next year 2007

We stayed at the Hotel Angela for 4 weeks from 13 November/11 December 2005. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, we had good food, nice bedroom overlooking the pool with a side view of sea and harbour. Lovely heated pool, really warm, which was a bonus. Very clean hotel all toilet facilities were very well serviced and I found nothing to complain about at all. We had tea/coffee making facilities in our room, with fresh supplies each day. At the time of year we went it was mainly full of retired couples enjoying the winter sun (as were we). All in all a very comfortable hotel at a reasonable price and we will certainly be going back again. A lot of couples we spoke to had been going back to the Angela for years!

My husband and I returned from 2 weeks at the Hotel Angela at the beginning of September. In our opinion the Hotel is very good and very clean. The food was also very good with plenty of choice even for someone like me who is very fussy. The pool is only small but adequate for the needs of the people who use this hotel. The rule they have about not saving sun-beds early in the morning is a good one if adhered to. We found that some mornings towels would be removed by staff because people had reserved beds and then gone to breakfast or for a walk. Other days the staff didnot bother, even when instances were reported to them. The hotel is ideally situated in the quieter part of the town with a lovely promenade and lovely beach. We found out from other guests part way through our holiday that if you went just up the front to the sister Hotel Yaramis and showed them your room key you could get sun-beds and umbrella on the beach in their designated area for half price. Plus the guy in charge came round part way through the morning with a free glass of Sangria!!! The Angela do not tell you about this because they obviously try to keep you round their pool and snack bar, but when we asked the rep about it she agreed that was the situation. The rep Carly was very good. We asked her for directions to a Mexican restaurant in Benalmadena and she was spot on even the bus number and where to catch it. A trip on the local bus to Mijas for one euro is a must. Such a beautiful place. We had a lovely holiday, the weather was a heat wave at the time, and will probably return to the Angela one day. Incidentally when we arrived at 11pm we were offered a meal in the restaurant. Not many hotels do that. Also a porter takes your cases up to your room on arrival and on leaving you can have the use of a courtesy room free of charge. Happy hols.
