Rooms at Hotel Yaramar are set up for comfort and convenience rather than five-star bells and whistles. All 242 rooms are air-conditioned and include free WiFi, with a clean, practical layout that suits golf groups who mainly need a good night's sleep between rounds.
If you can, it's worth upgrading to a sea-view room. These come with a terrace and look over the pool towards the coastline, which is a decent perk when you're winding down with a drink after golf. Higher floors tend to make the most of the views across Fuengirola's beach and out to sea.
Food is centred around La Sirena Restaurant, serving breakfast and dinner buffet-style, which works well for groups and anyone who likes a simple routine before heading out for a tee time. The spread is varied enough to keep you going, and the format means you can eat early if you've got an 8am slot or take your time if you're teeing off later.
For daytime snacks, the poolside Snack Bar is ideal for light bites, ice creams and cold drinks without having to head far. It's the sort of spot you'll use more than you think, especially if you're back from golf by lunchtime and fancy something quick before hitting the pool.
You've also got the Riviera Beach Club right on the seafront for a change of pace. It's a good shout for tapas and seafood, and the beachfront setting gives non-golfers something to enjoy while you're out playing. The menu leans into fresh fish and Spanish classics, and it's worth booking a table if you fancy an evening meal with a view.
Facilities are exactly what you'd hope for in this kind of base. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi sit on the first floor facing the sea, and the gym is there if you fancy a quick session or a stretch before golf. Step outside and you're straight onto Los Boliches beach, which is a nice bonus for anyone combining golf with a few laid-back afternoons by the water or travelling with partners who aren't playing.
