Great place.   Staff are great.  I haven't come across one member of staff that isn't polite.  Reception staff very good.  Had a slight problem with room next door.  It was taken care of quickly.

Hotel Yaramar receives commendation for its cleanliness and prime location, with many guests highlighting the spotless rooms and the convenience of being close to the beach. Reviews reflect mixed feelings on the rooms, which are clean with great views but often described as outdated.

This review is my personal opinion.Arrived around 11am on Sunday September 22nd Our room wasn’t ready until approximately 2.30-3pm However we were told that one room was available at a cost of €20 instead of waiting for the allocated room.We viewed it and rather than wait longer we took it mainly because Ineeded to put my insulin in the fridge but it was locked! Phoned reception & was told it was a further €20 to unlock it for our use.The fridge wasn’t working so it was replaced but being very small it held the minimum of items.
Room had a stunning view floor tiles had some gaps in them but amenities were adequate.Take your own teabags & coffee because only minimum stuff supplied. Beds were comfortable tv in the room.Internet was hit & miss in the room. Bathroom needed updating & bidet was too close to shower door but power shower was brilliant.Shampoo/ body shower supplied.
Plenty of lifts ( we were on floor 6 ) Reception staff very helpful and Carlos was the techno guy to help out with internet problems.
Our first dinner was rather chaotic due to limited staff it took a while to get a drink ( water expensive!) but food was excellent & hot though some plates weren’t Food to suit all tastes and hygiene was evident everywhere plus kitchen staff replenished frequently. Entertainment nightly but we didn’t use the concert room as you could hear the act in certain areas.The bar adjoining reception was always busy especially the8-9 happy hour.Must congratulate Adrian who did a splendid professional job under extreme pressure. Once again staff shortages He was having to take orders dispense and deliver them plus clear glasses and take bill payments he was a diamond but no one should be put under that pressure yet he still was polite.
The Riviera opposite the hotel lost anopportunitybynotserving”” light bites”” as for the sunbeds they were comfortable but the straw umbrellas were hit & miss from weather damage.One thing that was annoying was reserved beds??? One day 8 beds at the front were reserved yet
NO-ONE came and used them🤬🤬There should be a first come first served policy.
As for beach towels well they were very thin and if you wanted to change them it would cost €1 each time 🤣🤣Better bring your own!
Yaramar is a lovely hotel with lovely staff centrally located in a very clean environment and would recommend it but it needs a few tweaks.
Josh the Tui rep was very pleasant and helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a well-detailed review about Hotel Yaramar, Beryl. We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed many aspects of your stay, especially the great service provided by our team members Carlos and Adrian. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to them. We’re very sorry to hear about some inconveniences you experienced. Please understand that as guests can do the check-out until 12:00 P.M, then check-in time is from 2:00P.M, so if on arrival the room a guest has been allocated in is not ready we always offer the possibily to pay for an early check-in to get trasferred to another room. We are continuously working to improve all areas and will certainly take all your comments into account to improve guest comfort. About the charge of 1€ to get the pool towels changed, we would like to clarify that this is an environmentally friendly inititiave as protecting the environment is something very important to us. It’s wonderful to know that despite some minor inconveniences, you would recommend our hotel, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again. Thank you once again for your thoughtful review on Trip Advisor. Kind regards

There is no dispute that this hotel is in a superb location opposite the beach. We have been coming to the Yaramar regularly for 20 years both with Tui and booking direct and have enjoyed our stays. However we were disappointed with some of the service we received on our latest visit.

Positives:
Very good location.

The bedrooms are clean and tidy although, as others have said, the hotel decor is showing its age.

The new chairs in the dining room have been repaired so that they no longer scrape across the floor.

Good service by bar staff.

Negatives:
Poor customer service on the front desk. We booked with Tui a front facing room because that was all that was available at the time of booking. We emailed the hotel to request a side facing room as usual and had a positive acknowledgement. On checking in however we were told that we would have to pay another 15 euros a day to change to a cheaper room. There were available rooms but we were asked for more money which has never happened before. When we challenged this we were told by two different receptionists that it was a new policy. The website says you have to pay to upgrade the room but apparently this also applies if you want to downgrade. It gave us the impression that profit comes before people.

The overall dining experience has deteriorated; the restaurant is more casual than it used to be. It says on the Tui website that men should wear long trousers at dinner, this was not enforced while we were there.

There seemed to be little supervision of the buffet by restaurant staff; we saw one person put their hands in a bowl of nuts, other guests taking more bread that they needed and replacing it with their hands. It would be reassuring if the restaurant manager walked around more frequently to note hygiene issues and spoke to guests to ensure their satisfaction.

The restaurant drinks menu is expensive in comparison to similar hotels.

The entertainment is repetitive so we went out most nights.

It's sad because most of the issues could be addressed easily so that guests feel valued and are happy to return.

Thank you for staying once again to Hotel Yaramar and for your review on Trip Avisor, Sian. We are very sorry about the confusion regarding the possible change to a different room type so we would like to apologise for the inconvenience. Considering the type of room you had booked paying to get moved to the kind of room you wanted was not applicable. After receiving your comment about this we have reviewed the information in our system to avoid this kind of confusion in the future. Regarding what you said about the restaurant, we would like to clarify that our restaurant is supervised by our staff and whenever they see someone doing such things they surely talk to the guest to explain that what they are doing is not allowed. It is just not possible for them to see and control everything everybody does while assisting guests. We appreciate your feedback and hope that despite the fact you felt disappointed this time you still enjoyed your visit to the Costa del Sol. Kind regards

We arri ved at this hotel at 12.30 p m and on check in with a lovely receptionist we were allocated a room on floor 3 ( we had requested a low floor) the room was excellent with both a pool and sea view which being southerly facing gave us sun every day on the balcony. There was plenty of wardrobe space for clothes and shoes. the bathroom was big with a large walk in shower, towels changed every day on request. The safe in the room was free of charge but you did have to pay 10 euro for use of fridge. Pool towels were also free and obtained from pool bar.
Food both for breakfast and evening meal was excellent with a wide selection to choose from, the lamb and beef were particularly good, the staff in here were very efficient.
At night there was happy hour which lasted for 2 hour ( 7pm to 9pm) two drinks for the price of one. Also entertainment in the patio bar every night all music based acts, who played music from the 60s to the 90s which suited us all different from a soloist , to a duo, to a group , and a guitarist vocalist. I must say the staffin here were excellent keeping everyone with drinks as the venue was full every night. If you didn’t want music you could go in to Yarabar which is a quiet area where you could talk with friends. ( still a happy 2 hour here) run efficiently by Gloria.
This hotel is well situated a 20 minute walk to the old town where there are many more bars and restaurants. A few streets back and you can catch local buses to various other resorts ie Benalmadena and Torremolinos, also Mijas and Marbella and Puerto Banus.
Going back to the hotel it well deserves it’s 4 star rating as the staff ,the food and the ambience are excellent and I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning in the not to distant future.

Outside, the hotel looks very impressive but entering the reception area all was dull and lifeless.
No guests could be seen seen in the foyer or rooms off.
Check in easy, though surprised to see a notice saying sunbeds cost 5 euros a session.
Hotel room on front with lovely views of sea and mountains. Room decent size, clean and functional.
Safe free but substantial charge for use of fridge.
Restaurant soulless with sullen, very miserable, waiting staff. Food varied but repetitive with most meats being inedible as overcooked and standing on the buffet did not help. Fish dishes similar. Hot foods generally barely warm. Just as well there was a microwave. Decent supply of fresh fruit each day but puddings generally bought in sloppy cream sponge cakes.
Long trouser rule in evenings ignored by several slobbish tshirt and sports shorts wearers. Tailored shorts allowed but those on display fell well short of the description. Weak restaurant management just ignored it.
Hand sanitising on entering restaurant not monitored.
The two, very expensive Gala Dinners were exceedingly poor on food quality and preparation. Judging by the amount of food that went back for the slop bins indicated that I was not alone in my condemnation.
Entertainment was repetitive.
The hotel closes for refurbishment early January.
Let's hope with reopening with fresh decor the staff will be trained to treat guests in a more friendly manner as, after all, we are paying their wages.

First up anyone who's been to the hotel previous seasons, the hotel is no longer part TUI's Gold programme (Gold hotels no longer exist). This means there is no longer an entertainment team in the hotel providing daytime & evening entertainment. There is the entertainment provided by the hotel in the evening, these are local acts & in my opinion no where near the standard of the TUI teams. Basically if you went to the shows in the Patio Bar on the reception level, these still go on, if you went to the shows in the Aquarium Lounge, these don't.
As for the hotel, it is in a brilliant situation just across the road from the beach. The hotel is on the main promenade/ road, with plenty of bars & shops nearby.
While there are plenty of "supermarkets" on the main road, if you turn right out of the hotel doors, walk along the front to the Stell Maris apartments ( the large white block right in front of you, turn right up to the next street in, the left, there is a large Mercadona Supermarket where prices are much lower then in the beachfront stores (an eight litre bottle of water was only 86 cents).
The hotel is an area know as Los Boliches, which is a quieter area, for livelier entertainment head towards the harbour into Fuengirola itself. All rooms either face directly onto the sea, or overlook the pool, with a side sea view. There are 14 floors, so if you're nervous of heights try to ask for a lower floor, also the lifts seem very temperamental, with several guests reporting instances where they were stuck in lifts due to doors sticking. Another reason to request a low floor & use the stairs if you are nervous!
It seems some effort has been made to update the rooms, at least my room had a shower cubicle, rather than a bath with a shower attachment as experienced previously.
Meals are buffet style, food range is a bit limited, but good quality, if you prefer there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
The pool area is on the 1st floor therefore space is limited, therefore while the terrace doesn't open till nine & there isn't the mad rush to reserve loungers reported elsewhere, I would advise taking a towel down with you to breakfast & reserving a lounger. In the past there was an hour limit before towels were removed, I didn't see any evidence of the happening while I was there. There is also a beach cafe owned by the hotel across the road from the hotel where sunbeds & a parasol can be rented at a reduced rate for guests of the hotel.

We have stayed at the Yaramar several times now and returned for a birthday celebration. The complimentary bottle of bubbly was a lovely touch.
As usual we had a really enjoyable stay. Perfect location close to beach, bars and restaurants, shops train and busses. Rooms are well equipped, spacious and comfortable with lovely views. Toiletaries are supplied and a tea tray replenished daily. There is a charge of €10 per week for use of fridge and free use of safe and air conditioning.
Staff are really welcoming and friendly and were so patient with our attempts at speaking Spanish, which was greatly appreciated.
The pool area is good with free use of pool towels(small charge applies if you want to change them during stay)
The restaurant serves a good breakfast and evening meal…..the only downside being the speed of the coffee machines which causes a lengthy wait in peak times….I feel some separate hot water urns or additional machines would be really beneficial…. Having said that the coffee is probably the best I’ve tasted in a hotel restaurant.
Evening entertainment was perfect for our taste with lots of live music to dance too, and reasonable bar prices, especially during the happy hour.
There are also some daytime activities.
Thank you so much to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable and hope to return soon.

Thank you so for your wonderful review on Trip Advisor, and for choosing Hotel Yaramar once again for your birthday celebration, Carol. We’re delighted to hear that you had another enjoyable stay with us and that the complimentary bottle of bubbly added a special touch to your day. Your kind words about our staff mean a lot to us. We are always happy to help, and it’s lovely to hear that you appreciated our efforts to make your stay a good one. Thank you for your feedback regarding the coffee machines. We understand the wait can be a bit long during peak times. These new machines make a better quality cup of coffee as they grind the coffee beans before it brews the coffee and this process take some times, so great to know that you enjoyed the coffee once you got it! We truly appreciate your loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back for another lovely stay soon. Kind regards

My partner and I have just returned from a fabulous weeks stay. We stayed in room 720, which is a superior suite with a sea and a pool view, it was spotless, light and airy and an amazing view of the sunrise every morning, from both the balcony and the bed. The room was cleaned everyday and turned down every night and a biscuit ready for our night cap. The food was amazing as was the service. The Rivera across the road charged €4 a day for guests, for sunbeds which was the cheapest on the beach. Happy Hour in the bar is 7pm-9pm every night and Gloria is amazing at mixing the perfect drinks, compete with free snacks. Nothing was any trouble for the staff, we could have anything we wanted, we just had to ask.
I would highly recommend a visit to this hotel. We paid £498 per person with half board and hardly spent anything whilst we were there. Hotel Yaramar has restored my passion for Spain. If you like comfort, cleanliness, great service, great food, and a 2 minute walk to the beach, then this is the hotel for you !!!

The hotel has some really good points and one really bad one.
Good points....
Friendly staff
Spacious rooms with great views
Beachfront location
Awesome shower
Cava for breakfast!
Decent (but not 4*) food
Good gym (for a hotel gym)
Free safe in room
Decent sized pool and jacuzzi
Air con that works in rooms

Bad points...
Nowhere near enough sunbeds.
Our experience was that every day you have to queue up for half an hour before the pool opens at 9am to get a bed. Many people then left their bed unused until mid-day. The hotel say you can only reserve for 1 hour but they only check at 11am, thereby giving people till mid-day before they take towels off empty beds. This was extremely frustrating, lots of people don't get a bed despite their beings lits of unused beds when they come down to the pool. Yes you can go on the beach but if you want beds and a parasol that's 15 Euros. The hotel should be removing towels just after 10am.

Also a negative is noise from the lifts. If you're in one of the 60 rooms opposite the bank of 4 lifts you will need ear plugs to sleep as the lifts are continually in use from 6am to 9am and 10pm to 3am. The hotel could improve this by adding an internal door between the bathroom and bedchamber in those 60 rooms.

Overall we probably won't stay here again. If you aren't bothered about sunbathing by the pool this is an excellent hotel. For us however the sunbed issue was a total pain.

Thank you for staying at Hotel Yaramar and for sharing your impressions about our hotel on Trip Advisor. We are very sorry if you were not pleased with certain aspects of your stay. August is a very busy month for us, so we understand getting a sunbed can be difficult this time of year. This is why our staff following the hotel's policy remove towels from sunbeds that have not been used for a while as this is an inconsiderate and unfair practice. We will pass on your feedback to our management so they can take your feedback and suggestions on board. We hope you still enjoyed your visit to the Costa del Sol that you give us another opportunity in the future. Kind regards

Our last holiday as a couple because the birth of our child somewhat ruined by a poor hotel!

No A/C in our bedroom! (misleading advert from TUI suggesting the rooms had A/C) but actually they don't have it turned on until May! which I understand completely but when its 30 degrees + outside and the cleaners leave your curtains open all day and the room is like a sauna then that's not right. So we found the room unbearable and sometimes warmer than outside!

The bedroom was very dated, bathroom also very dated with no ventilation so very stuffy. we had to pay 10EUROS to use a nearly cold fridge in the bedroom. The beds were okay we found them comfortable, the room had a nice little balcony with a great view of the beach!

We felt like we spent a huge amount of time waiting for the lifts as our room was on the 7th floor. The staff at the hotel were lovely but understaffed! after waiting 30 minutes for a drink at one of the bars we decided the evening entertainment wasn't for us so can't comment on that.

The pool area was dated, the pool sides were rusty, had broken tiles by the sunbeds (very dangerous and sharp! Tiles at the bottom of the pool were missing / coming off and the water was dirty despite the best efforts from the pool cleaner half heartedly cleaning the pool in the mornings whilst on the phone. There was plenty of sunbeds and chairs with some shaded seating. There is a hot tub but that was out of order for the duration of our stay despite TUI advertising the hotel to have a hot tub.

The pool area had a bar which you could also eat at, we found it annoying that "happy hour" was at 12-1pm so if you wanted to order some food at lunchtime you'd again have to wait inline for a little while as everybody was getting drinks in.

The restaurant was great, no complaints apart from just being short staffed at times! The food was really nice with great choice for both breakfast and dinner! probably one of the best hotel restaurants we've eaten at.

The hotel is in a great location with lovely beach literally right across the road! The beach front is very very well looked after by the council with a constant army of workers cleaning/ collecting rubbish and repairing the beachfront.

Lots of nice restaurants in easy walking distance from the hotel, busy little market (Sundays) about 40-50 minutes walk along the beach front and a little further up is a castle (we didn't visit)

I personally wouldn't recommend the hotel but I would recommend the area!

We will never use TUI again, we felt completely mis sold by them after using them for the last 10 years.

We are a young aged 60s couple so my review is reflective of that.

Location: ideal for the beach at a quieter end, a taxi cost between four and 8 euros depending on time and days to somewhere near the Puerto for something lively.

Welcome: staff very helpful and friendly.
Lots of seating areas. A broken front glass door taped off and a cracked glass panel on the lift fronts still not repaired at the end of our week.
The corridors are very dark and the room was dated with a glass bathroom door but adequate and cleaned daily with comfortable beds. The view of the beach was lovely, overlooking a road from which the noise was minimal when we slept.

Fee for late flight rooms: 25 euros until 3.p.m. and 60 euros until 6.p.m. you can store your luggage and shower in the gym but need to climb a spiral staircase for it.

Food: Typical for a 3 star hotel, meats, fish, salads, veg and repetitive cakes for dessert with different flavoured ice cream. The lady cooking eggs at breakfast worked hard and with a smile.
We ate out here and there for something different.
Tip: don't assume a table is free if no one is sat at it, we were sitting down to be told 'this is ours' with no one at it and no sign of occupancy, I usually choose a table and we go for our food one at a time.

Entertainment: only watched twice at night, resident singers with operatic voices doing various songs. Quizzes, and duets of organists and vocalists like the pubs in the UK. It appeared busy for the Shirley Bassey tribute and there was a beatles and ABBA night all done by those same singers. We felt a bit stuck in the 70s. The front outside bar had more up to date music and nuts, sweets and crisps given out with the drinks by a lovely chatty barmaid.
Daytime: The pool is much smaller than we're used to so the 3 euros for the beach beds was a bonus, we went there every day.
The beach bar: cheap with very friendly staff, but the toilets could do with a regular clean, some detergent and a toilet seat which is attached properly to the pan.

Tui reps: helpful and available as always.

This hotel is advertised as an adults only one, but we felt with its entertainment, it catered more for senior citizens who visit year after year and seem to have a lovely time.

"Don't expect great value for money like it used to be in TUI Gold days. For a satisfying lunch go to the Old Tallinn bar a few streets behind the hotel for a seljinka soup."
