Just back from a four night break at the IPV, my second visit this year and fourth time here. The hotel is in a great place on the sea front at the quiet far end of Fuengirola but still an easy walk unto town and to restaurants. Once again I had a nice room with a lovely sea view in the Ronda building. I disagree entirely with an earlier review that the hotel is dated. The bedroom was spacious and comfy and the bathroom had a nice shower and plenty of light and space for toiletries.
The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was as good as ever.
I look forward to the next time.

My wife and I wanted a little break and although I didn’t really fancy Fuengirola (thought it would be too touristy) we were told it had come on a lot as a holiday spot.
We were pleasantly surprised with Fuengirola but we loved our hotel!
Slightly bland facade, but very impressive inside, the reception, old world style is huge and beautifully done. A very friendly and professional greeting, was the standard that continued from all the staff throughout our stay. Our rooms simple styling had all we needed, my wife giving the thumbs up to the wardrobes accommodating long dresses, plenty of storage and a decent hair dryer but only one temp setting. Good quiet air conditioning, very comfortable beds, lovely standard of room cleaning and gorgeous sea view. Very minor criticism’s would be that the shower was looking a bit tired, would have loved a room kettle and our tv remote wouldn’t work, but who needs a tv on your hols!
Breakfast was buffet style, great choice, well presented and constantly re stocked, hot items were plentiful and tasty, you can also have freshly prepared eggs off the griddle. Also out on the terrace( a great place to sit and have breakfast! ) there was a pancake station.
Pool area was beautiful, garden area well tended with impressive palms. Always clean, plenty of bins, stacks of beds( unsure how busy hotel was) and a lifeguard. You also have pool towels available at no charge from reception Outside bar/restaurant area was impressive with a good choice of food at a decent price. You also have secure access to the promenade and public beach which was clean with plenty of beds. The hotel is at the the southern end of Fuengirola with a nice promenade running in front of the hotel continuing all along Fuengirola, it takes about 15 minutes to get to all the bars and restaurants.
Great hotel, professional staff, lovely pool area, all made for a great break.
Only real criticism I could add was tiny little bits of hotel look tired and need of an update, but I am being very picky, if you choose the IPV you will be well looked after.
