| said: When we arrived at the apartments, from outside first impressions looked OK, good location & right on the beach front. When we got to our room we were absolutely disgusted, we booked a studio thinking it would be slightly bigger & more open than an apartment, not the case! There was no kitchen area, no wardrobes & no bedroom, just a sofa with a horrible mattress underneath it, not ideal! Wasn't livable.
Complained at reception but they couldn't accommodate us. Had to find alternative accommodation which cost us another 300euros!
Would not go back & stay at the apartments again.

| said: This property was much better then we were expecting on a last minute deal. The apartments were really clean and had new furnishings and all utensils and crockery that would be needed including a kettle we did mostly eat out but did have some snacks and coffees towels were changed and room cleaned during our week stay. Pool and public areas kept spotless.
Pool was nice but was a bit on the cold side but we were happy crossing road to the beach and use the beds there.
We found the location to be perfect right on the beach and a pleasant walk to busier area but was enough choices on out doorstep if you didn't want to go to far.
Dtaff and rep very helpful and friendly and gave loads of useful information.
Was a bar with snacks and games room but we didn't use as out seeing other things.
Would definitely go back to this apartments and recommend them.

| said: we like to do what we want during the day and be able to sleep at night so this hotel was excellent for us. if you didnt want to be around the pool area then the beach is right on your doorstep. the pool was very cold for us adults but it didnt stop the kids getting in. the location of the hotel was excellent for us as it wasnt quite central (so no noise at night) but still only 5-8minute walk to the centre, plenty of pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, there was no entertainment at this hotel everyone just met up in the hotel bar and made their own. plenty of games tables and online computers in bar section. there is also a little park area for the toddlers. staff are very helpful and go out of their way to make sure your stay is a good one. we would go back again.

| said: These apartments turned out to be a very good choice for us. We wanted a base close to the beach and slightly away from the centre. We had read all the reviews and decided to be optimistic. The apartments were very spacious, immaculate and recently decorated. Ours had everything we required and a nice balcony where we could watch the sun rise. Our only gripe was that the beds nor the towels were changed in a whole week. All in all - fantastic value for money and we would definately stay there again and would also encourage other people to use them.

| said: Basic level of accomodation, but very clean. The furnishings are bit tired but everything we needed was there.(don't forget matches to light the cooker)
Towels changed a couple of times in the week and rubbish emptied.
Pool was on the cold side,we could always get a sunbed but did not notice any parasols(maybe too early in year)
One point worth noting, the official check in time is 5-00pm, we had made our own travel arrangemnets and arrived at 12-30pm, only for us to have to wait until 5-00pm before we could get into our room.(Not the Rhondas fault, but worth knowing about before hand)
We went into the bar and games room on a couple of occasions, nothing special but ok.
Generally found staff helpful and friendly.
Location was 1 minute walk from beach, local bars and shops aplenty. Slightly out of the main resort centre, cost approx 6 Euros in a taxi to the main harbour area. Probably a bit quieter than accomodation in the resort centre.
Overall, as budget appartment for a family holiday the Rhonda was good value.

| said: Room clean, tidy and basic. Most kitchen utensils provided although no kettle and no bowls so had to eat my shredded wheat out of a pan. Plenty of hot water and towels were changed twice. Bed linen wasn't changed during the week.
Overall good standard for a budget holiday.
Didn't see any reps during the stay but mainly due to the fact i was on the beach opposite, Playa Ronda where the sunbeds are 4 Euros with shade and table. The bloke that runs it is ace.
There is an internet service in the hotel just passed the bar but it is 1 euro for 6 mins! There are plenty of other internet access in town at 1 Euro per 30 mins.
Only grudge is that the rep did not bother to look in the games room where i was waiting for my transfer to the airport so had spend 30 euros on a taxi to get there. Make sure you are in reception as the rep won't bother to do a check.

| said: We arrived at the hotel from the airport the rep ran in and out, she did not explain a thing. The staff are friendly but distant.
The swimming pool area was in full sun most of the day, please note parasols are not available at all very hot especially for children.
We went to the lovley clean beach opposite every day see manolo he will look after you (rhonda beach). Nothing opens before 10 in the hotel.
The bar in the hotel opens when they want it to. Rooms very hot hired a fan 10 euro deposit 2euros a day to hire.
Would not return to the hotel as hotel is not worth the money paid. First choice was no help at all.

| said: With this budget hotel you get exactly what you pay for, that is not a lot!
The first room we were given was at the far end of the hotel(road end) and was very noisy and pokey. The sofa bed in the lounge didn't open flat so you spend the whole night trying to stop rolling into the middle. The second day the rep moved us to a better apartment closer to the sea end which was much better, although sofa bed was the same. There is no kettle and limited kitchen things. General appearance is that the rooms are tired and need a revamp. Our curtains were torn and we took our own sheets after reading that they don't get changed during a week stay.
The pool area was good but there is no other entertainment for the kids so evenings can drag a bit.

| said: Only one bedroom apartment available when booking. Partial sea view. Well equipped with crockery etc. freshly laundered sheets, tea towels, tablecloth. Disappointed when wall mounted grill/oven did not work properly - did no cooking during our weeks stay. No kettle, boiled water on the 2 jets in a pan. Clean fridge, plenty of very hot water. Everything very clean. Towels provided very thin and only changed once during week, sheets not changed at all. We were told that if we had been staying 2 weeks then the sheets would be changed after the first week. Maid service every and rubbish removed every other day. Staff very helpful. Looked in 2 bed apartment with full sea view whilst there, 1 double bed and one twin room, full kitchen, fridge freezer and full oven.
Located just across from beach but lovely garden with loungers (plenty of them)
Pool attendant in permanent attendance (2 euros each bed); pool very clean and toddler pool separated.
Extra charge for TV use and safe use.
Apartment very spacious.
Bar area in hotel but we did not use it.
Would visit again but not in 1 bed apartment due to lack of kitchen area.
Plenty of car parking and gated for security.

| said: We had read several bad review about this hotel, but we found a good deal and took a chance. We were pleasantly supprised when we arrived.
The apartment was huge with a seperate bedroon/ living area/kitchen and bathroom. We had a side sea view which was lovely. A little old fashioned but very cosy.
Apartments actually situated in Los Boliches, about 5 mins in taxi to Fuingorola or 30 minute trek. The pool area is lovely, but I dont think you can have lilos etc in the pool, this was ok for me as I went in April and the pool was freezing, but if I was there in the summer I would miss lazing around on a lilo.
I preferred the beach in the day as the pool got a little shaded, you have to pay for sunbeds on the beach and by the pool although the pool is cheaper, this I find a little cheeky as why should you pay for sunbeds at the pool when already paid to stay there?
The bar in the hotel is ok, watched the football with boyfriend one night, drinks are about the same price as in the bars.
On our last day we had to check out at about 12:00 but flight wasn't untill the evening, we usually pay the extra to keep the room but we couldn't at these apartments.
The staff were very helpfull and gave us a complimenry room just for us on the ground floor. There are some lovely restaurent in Los Boliches, but I would not stay here if you want to be bang in the middle of everything.I would stay here again, but I tend to go out in Benalmadena in the evenings so would be best for me to stay there. Enjoy !!

| said: Good and nice sized rooms for a 2 star appartment.
Clean, only critism should change sheets more often at least twice a week.
Pool is good and always managed to get a sunbed even though people put towels on some of them before.
Basic snacks at the bar by the pool or in the building.
Great location next to the beach at the quieter part of the beach.
Staff were friendly and helpfull.
Entertainment is a bar with pool table, table football, ice hockey and a tv but that's it.
I would visit the appartments again.

| said: The hotel was a pleasent surprise as it was budget accomodation was expecting something pretty dingy. The apartment was spotless as were the kitchen utensils etc.. Basic but comfortable. The hotel was literally across the road from a nice beach with lots of english bars and restaurants surrounding it. All showing Premiership football, EastEnders and Emmerdale!!!, not my cup of tea but good if it is.
The pool was absoultely freezing but there were still children jumping in out of it. You have to pay 2euros for a sunlounger by the pool which I thought was strange but not exactly excessive. Hotel staff were very pleasent. All in all clean, nice location, not noisy-there was a Karoke bar near bar which was empty so not a problem. Lots of bars in central Feungirola about a 15 min walk away to party in.
