Submitted By: akbarr
The hotel wasnt to bad,the rooms were as expected, but we didnt get a pool view, instead facing building works... rooms cleaned everyday and towels changed every other day. the two hotel security guards were really good, respect to them, they were more helpeful than the 'thomson reps' which in our eyes didnt exist. the pool wasnt too impressive, as it 50% of it is shallow enough to bearly reach your knees, and crowded with kids, not really a lively apartment, suitable for families looking for a quite break.
the beach is a 5-10 minute walk, huge shopping complex across from apartment, eroski supermarket inside the complex has everything, similar to asda.
overall not a bad holiday, although thompson could have been more helpful

" Enjoyed Very Much! "
Submitted By: elaineweaver
Holiday overall was excellent. Was my 2nd time back. Hotel is extremely clean and well equipped. Went self-catering and kitchen was nice, everything provided except cereal bowls. Staff were pleasant, some were a bit ignorant but that was due to lack of their understanding English. Wouldn't rate the food so would definately say self-catering as just 5mins walk is a supermarket and a shopping-mall. We made our own breakfast, lunch and snacks ourselves and ate them near the pool. We didn't really eat from the bar apart from Chips which is what my daughter (age 4) enjoyed. Oh and also Lollies to keep her cool. Entertainment for kids was very good - everyday there were reps flying around asking kids to go in the entertainment area for table-tennis, games - water sports etc... My daughter was only 4 so I didn't let her join in but if a bit older than can have a few hours to yourselves. Not a lot of English though! The first year we got cabs (2nd year realised it was about 15min walk so walked) to LA PLAYA which is the seafront with loads and loads and loads of restaurants, including McDonalds (LOL-can't get away from that) and would rate the food 10/10. Many English bars and English Sports Bars. Has everything from Chinese, Italian, Indian, English - list goes on and on and we LOVED the food!!!!!!! Beach is lovely. OVERALL THE HOLIDAY WAS FANTASTIC. We booked seperately flights and accomadation which cost us around £600 for 2 adults and 1 child. And am going back this year (2009)!!!!!
Advice: Seafront is lovely and British (although lot of foreigner travellers), overall really good!
Activities: EVERYONE AT THE SEAFRONT!!!!!

" We stayed at the Myramar from Aug.... "
Submitted By: Mrs M Moring
We stayed at the Myramar from Aug. 19-Sept. 2nd. Overall our holiday was very good. Hotel staff very efficient and helpful, room clean and spacious, clean towels and bedding every day. Pool big and safe, plenty of sunbeds and shade, particularly necessary in August with children. We thought the pool tables at 2 euros a time was too pricey, 50 cents would be more appropriate, and would have been used by far more people, especially younger children, with limited pocket money. Good bus services into Fuengirola town, although not all went directly there.- we ended up going to the cementery en route, another time to El Faro near Mijas!! Check before getting on! Myramar Parque easy walking distance, good shops, Erosky supermarket has everything you need, we love the big langostinos at only 8 euros a kilo, 1/4 kilo more than enough for two! Washed down with San Miguel cerveza, and fresh fruit after! Also, over the bridge outside the front of hotel, turn right to little golf course,(20 euros for family of 4) nice little bar, although can of coke 2 euros.-bit pricey. (open from about 1p.m.-midnight/1am.) Turn left to Dunnes store, excellent sausage sandwich, full English breakfast, or a lovely Spanish coffee. Lots of lovely restaurants in Fuengirola, we liked the ones in the street parallel to the beach, but be prepared to spend plenty more than in previous years, the cheap vino and paella days are no more. Wonderful ice-cream parlours, cafes and bars, although plagued by the usual vendors of sunglasses and dvds, although a polite 'no thank you'was enough. Had no contact with Thomsons whilst there, although we never had a problem, a bit disappointed that our pick-up time was 6.30pm to Malaga Airport=our flight was at 10.20pm! Take sweets, cakes or snacks for kids, airport prices truly horrendous, packet small Walkers crisps 2 euros! Made Gatwick look like Asda!

" I would very much recomend Castle... "
Submitted By: Mr Iceland Traveler
I would very much recomend Castle Beach. The hotel is very clean, staff helpful and professional. Great pool area with the best childrens pool I have ever seen. Lifeguard on duty all day. Lots of sunbeds, many with parasols if you want. Breakfast buffet is good, with all you expect to see at such buffet. Dinner buffet is ok, but gets very boring and dull after a week. I recomend you to not to book more than a week of the dinner buffet, rather look at the restaurants down at the beach or the Wok buffet at the other side of Rio Fungirola, 3 min walk from hotel. Also you will find restaurants at the Miramar Parque shopping center behind the hotel (Burger King, KFC etc). Entertainment staff very lively and goes beyond what must be required of them, children activites all day, mini disco and adult entertainment in the evening. Poolbar is a bit pricy, 3.50 euros for a pint, but the snacks are great. Service there good but the bartenders should freshen up their cocktail skills a bit. The hotel has a decent library, 5 or 6 pooltables and other games, indors swimming pool, sauna, massage, playground, play room, multiple outdoors tennis courts, washing machines (very pricy 4 euros a wash plus 1 euro for dryer) etc. Next door is a nice shopping mall with a low price supermarket and lots of stores, cinema etc. Beach is 10 min walk or 5 min bus ride (use the yellow line, its fastest).
Overall a very plesant 2 weeks at a very nice and conveniently placed hotel. I look forward to book my stay there next year.

" We have just returned from a weeks... "
Submitted By: julie97au
We have just returned from a weeks holiday self catering at the Myramar Castle Beach Hotel - 2 adults and 3 children. The hotel was great and I could not find any fault with it at all. The maids came in every day and gave us clean towels and made our beds and brushed and washed floors and even cleaned the windows. The pool area was great and the pool was very safe. There was lots of entertainment througout the day for both adults and children with water polo being played every day. The evening entertainment was not bad, though we were only there for it a few nights. We did not eat in the hotel, but drinks were expensive at 3euro for a glass of coke, though between 5 and 6 pm the pool bar had happy hour - buy one get one free. There is a great shopping centre next door with KFC, Burger King and a variety of other resturants. There is a bus leaving for Fuengirola centre from opposite the front of the hotel at 10 minutes past the hour and twenty minutes to the hour running from 9.10 in the morning until 10.40 in the evening, though 15 minutes will walk you into town. There is a great train service (station is beside the bus depot) with trains running every half hour and a fare of only 1euro 85cents - we got the train to the airport, but it stopped in Benalmadena, Torremolinos and all the towns inbetween. Overall a great hotel, well located and I am hoping to go back again next year.

we have visited castle beach since it was built, we have never had any problem apart from when the lock on our door broke and we had to stay in another room for one night ( no big deal ).
staff very helpfull and friendly especially paco in the bar, we have now been mates for 7 years visiting each other regularly at home too...if you go tell him kevin says hi and tell him you want Grande drink..lol
the pool is always clean, rooms are always spotless ( until the kids get there ) no problems getting a sun lounger. entertainment on everynite was good..ok its was not the royal variety show but very entertaining with audience participation
big superstore opposite was handy for groceries etc, even cinemas and restraunts inside, we were warned about the footbridge at nightimes for security/safety purposes, we never had a bad experience of this place yet and will be back in 09..i would recommend this hotel to anyone..
take care and have a good holiday

" I really enjoyed my stay at Castle... "
Submitted By: Mr C MacLeod
I really enjoyed my stay at Castle Beach Apartments although I never actually ate in the hotel as was there on business I found the staff more than courteous at all times and very helpfull when required.
Although building work was being carried out opposite the hotel I never found this an issue the room was very well insulated against sound,
Room was cleaned every day to a very high standard.
I was very impressed with the Lounge Bar and Bar Staff.
I will definately be returning to this part of Spain and will most definately be staying in this hotel again.
I manage a small hotel myself and could not honestly find anything worth complaining about.

Me, my wife and 3 children stayed over night in a self catering apartment. Service was good and all facilities were excellent. The only drawback was the indoor pool. For some reason you had to wear a swimming cap which also had to worn by children of any age. What is that all about?

" Stayed here for a week, and loved it!... "
Submitted By: Mr C Roper
Stayed here for a week, and loved it! The apartments are great, very spacious, and cleaned daily, with fresh towels every day and the bed linen was changed 3 time the week we were there. There's lots to do on site, 3 swimming pools, a basketball court and a games room.
A few people have written some bad things about this hotel which I don't agree with at all. Ok, so you have to cross a bridge to get to the beach, but it is definitely safe! Ok, so some of you may have had something taken, but its like anywhere you go, you don't have to be in Spain to get mugged. We never had no trouble crossing the bridge, we walked on and off it at least 3 times a day and every night around 11pm on the way back from the centre and we never saw anyone.
The food was good and of a high quality, people complained because there wasn't enough choice for English people. e.g. burgers, chips, hot dogs, DON'T go to Spain if you want English food, go to Blackpool.
The weather was good, the average temp was around 24 degrees each day and we never saw a cloudy day which for February was really surprising.
Would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone, ignore the moaners. I was there the same time as some of these people that supposable went as was annoyed by the building work, well I'm sorry but there was no building work around at all.
Give it a try, you wont be disappointed!

Submitted By: Mrs D Doneathy
Really enjoyed our stay. Went with my husband and two children age 15 &9. Plenty for them to do, lovely games room. Pool was nice and clean.
Our room was cleaned every day. Got the bus which is outside the hotel in to the town, took the bus from the town to Torremolinos. Plenty of food shops like kfc. All what the kids like.
Was very hot when we went, in its 90s, people in the hotel was very helpful. On a night there is a kids disco and after that was for mams and dads.
Cheap in the hotel for a bottle of house wine, it was 6euros. Lovely beach, bus takes you there or you can walk, it is about 10mins.
One week was not long enough, will go back again this time for 2 weeks.
All rooms have a TV and all have bath and a shower.

" I stayed at the Myramar for a week... "
Submitted By: Mrs D Parkin
I stayed at the Myramar for a week this August and it wasn’t long enough. My children are aged 5, 9, 10, 14 and they loved it.
The rooms were very clean and the maid service was excellent. The hotel staff were very helpful, and the bar and pool staff would do anything for you. There are 2 pools one shallow pool ideal for small children and a larger one with shallow parts for small children.
Around the pool there are plenty of sunbeds for everyone, and the area is extremely clean and tidy. On a night time the pool bar has entertainment on for all the family from kids disco's to games night with adult participation, All good fun, the kids will all come home having learnt several new dance routines.
For older children there’s ping ball tables, pool tables, air hockey tables right beside the bar or there’s a games room, mini golf, tennis courts plenty to do. There's also a night pub that’s open till 3am.
The restaurant serves a wide range of lovely meals, but if you catering you have a dunes store that sell English food right next door as well as lidel and on the other side a large shopping complex. the beach is about 10 to 15 minutes walk away from the hotel and can be a little hard on young legs my 5 year old was tired and hot on these journeys, however there is a bus right outside the hotel and costs 90 cents to go anywhere and there so easy to use (we were a bit scared a first but give it a go).
The water park is also very close to the Myramar and that is a must do for anyone. We also used the trains to go to Torremolinos for the day then to Benalmadena on the night time as there is a theme park there called Tivoli world it opens about 6pm and is open till 2am however the last train is 11.30 but still well worth going. Tivoli world costs 6 Euros each to enter and 10 Euros for a wrist band to go on all rides as many times as you like.(these bands are well worth the money and are optional).
Over all we had a fantastic holiday in a fantastic resort in a fantastic hotel and will be returning. Hope this helps.

Woops, did I start sumarising 500 words ago, cancel that and I conclude now. Book it, I would absolutly go again, and indeed will go again, preferably without the kids so I can sunbathe and shop till I'm red in the face. Buenos noches.
