Overlooking the waterfront promenade and the busy harbour, Las Palmeras is a large resort hotel located in the centre of Fuengirola, just 200 metres from the beach. Modern and simply decorated, the 400 air-conditioned guestrooms all have furnished balconies and are equipped with satellite television and direct-dial telephones. The half board room rate incorporates buffet breakfast and dinner. Guests can take a cooling dip in the outdoor pool and soak up the sunshine on the surrounding terraces while enjoying views of the marina, perhaps with a drink from the poolside bar. Children can join in the kids club activities (summer season and Christmas time only), or splash around in their own separate paddling pool; the tennis court, games room and hotel entertainment programme provide activities day and night for all the family. Guests can chose from fish, meats, rice dishes and salads as well as a range of desserts at lunch and dinner in the informal, buffet restaurant and with a relaxed piano bar, a terrace bar and a coffee shop, guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to watering - holes. There is an on site gift shop and hair salon and the front desk is open round the clock and offers currency exchange services. Those with cars can make use of on site pay parking. Guests can take sunset strolls along the Paseo Maritimo, Fuengirola's main street and the town centre shops and the railway station are within a kilometre. The nearest airport is Malaga, 25 kilometres and about a 25-minute drive away. Trains run between the airport and Fuengirola every 30 minutes (journey time 30 minutes). A taxi between the airport and the hotel costs around 35 EUR.
