Fuengirola Hotels in April
Hotel Angela is a four-star hotel located right on the sea. One of its biggest draws is that it offers an infinity pool, which is the only one in Fuengirola that faces the sea, so you feel as if you are swimming in the sea, while actually being in the pool. The hotel also offers a lounge room and provides table games, as well as having ping-pong, darts, and a pool table. There is also live music every night, in addition to larger shows like flamenco dancing or magic shows. Hotel Angela has a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet style, as well as a separate bar, and a snack bar next to the infinity pool.
