Son's evaluation: Grade:

Daughter's evaluation: Funny beach has lots of really good rides. My favorite ride was the go-karts. The beach looked nice but I didn't go in the sea. The service was really nice. Grade: 9.0

Mom's evaluation: My daughter was recently invited to a birthday party at Funny Beach and had a great time. We were there in September so there were no crowds or problems with parking. The weather was just great so we didn´t have any trouble with the heat. I think this is an ideal time to go as I can imagine in peak summer it must get pretty crazy. Personally, I find it a outdated and a bit grimy, but I don´t think the kids noticed. The girls all had a couple of rounds on the go-karts. It´s a good thing they were strapped in and had helmets as some of them were going around those curves pretty fast and hit a couple of the tires that are there to protect them. The go-karts are classic and are jump started like an old lawn-mower. They got to go around for 5 minutes and that was plenty enough for me. They didn´t complain when they got out, but simply went over to the next activity. There are some cute little bumper boats that are motor controlled and allow for two kids to sit in it at a time. They giggled and had fun, but the pool where the boats are in isn´t very large, so they got bored quickly. Then they jumped on the trampolines and that entertained them for another 10 minutes. I noticed that to the side of the trampolines there are smaller go-karts and a little track for smaller kids. Then off to the other side are plenty of coin operated stationary cars and horses that you normally find in arcades. There was an indoor arcade as well with an air hockey table and some video games. The kids also loved jumping on the trampoline that has chords that hook on to you to give you extra height. I wasn´t paying for the party, but noticed that you could easily drop a lot of cash at this place, so you might want to agree on an maximum amount to spend with your kids before hand. I really liked Koko Beach on the beach side of Funny Beach. It´s a new chiringuito (beach restaurant) that opened this summer. It´s all white and has nice sun beds and this tropical feel to it, which is a stark contrast to the outdated Funny Beach. The staff there were really nice and very upbeat. The beach here is quite nice. The sand is not as nice as the east Marbella beaches as there are some rocks around, but not as bad as the San Pedro beaches. You can rent lounge chairs and just down the beach there is a place where you can hire pedal boats, banana boats and other watersport equipment. Funny Beach has a small restaurant serving hamburgers, pizza and other kid-friendly food. Koko beach is more of a chiringuito that serves Spanish dishes and seafood. (September 2009) Grade: 7.0

Natasha's family (from Marbella) grade: 7.8

Natasha: Funny Beach is a great place to relax with the kids. You can either lay down and relax or jump on the rides, or order a cold drink. the catamarans are also a good inexpensive idea. However, everything looked old and dirty. The shower is only a name, it gave only 3 drops of water. (July 2009) Grade: 7.0
