Unfortunately we were unaware that works were going on outside the hotel, and had been for the last year. Paving renewals were coming towards the end when we got there but nevertheless there were large areas where blocks were missing and manholes had to be levelled. Noise was ongoing from about 8am due to blocks having to be cut to fill gaps. Obviously the hotel was not at fault as these works had to be completed, but I felt we should have been advised that these works were being done at the booking stage. We booked a table for 6 people one night, and invited 4 friends (also on there holidays, but staying elsewhere) to join us. 2 of the starters ordered were incorrectly sent from the kitchen, and the two recipients had to wait a further 10-15 minutes for their correct order. We then received the main meals, and sadly 4 out of the 6 were not very nice at all. They were both 2 for sharing Paella's which were well overcooked with the rice being almost dry. We presumed that was as a result of the starters being incorrect, and the time taken in cooking new starters. All in all not a very spectacular experience. Fortunately my wife and I had stayed at the La Fonda Hotel 2 times in previous years and new that the Hotel were much better than this, and not withstanding not informing us of the works being carried out around the Hotel we will give them a further chance to get back up to standard.

There was a lot of construction going on while we visited. So, it was quite noisy and messy in the hotel. Our room was clean, but I think there must have been some recent renovation because it smelled quite a bit of paint. The staff were nice and the included breakfast was good. I recommend not staying on the first floor, however. The room was close to the restaurant, so that made sleeping difficult because of the noise. Also, one night there was a man having an argument with someone and we could hear everything. It persisted off and on until after midnight, at which point we called the front desk. To be fair, the noise stopped immediately, and we didn’t hear anything else for the rest of our stay. Parking was convenient but requires some technical driving skills getting into the garage and spaces.

Beautiful boutique hotel

We had 2 nights at La Fonda and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a beautiful old building that has recently been sympathetically renovated. Beautiful spacious bedroom with large en suite. The pool area, sun terrace and foyer are stunning. Good choice of hot and cold food for breakfast.

What a find! In Benalmadena Pueblo. The old village is a delight. Quiet lots of restaurants and nice bars/easy link to Mijas and train station by bus. Too far if you want easy access to beach snd front - but we didn’t. The only downside is lack of bar but there’s loads nearby. Visitors must go to cafe below the hotel where the local Flamenco Chour practices. Cheap and hood food
