Had a great time the hotel was lovely and clean. Had a huge choice of good food . The room was nice and clean. Our beds were made every day had fresh towels. Only draw back was the huge queues at the bar only had one member of staff serving. Apart from that the staff were very welcoming . Will definitely book again for next year

Brandon Paddison

Overall our experience was great, lovely staff , great food; accommodation great. However on our last night our room flooded, the receptionist was rude, wasn’t bothered about helping us or others. Couldn’t move us rooms due to not having any available, only offered us towels for cleaning the water. No housekeeping sent to help. Had to move hotels. Put in a claim for them to lie on it saying they had offered us a room swap but I didn’t take it.

Hotel a little dated but was clean, and the rooms were cleaned every day. No welcome pack only a few cans of fizzy drink in the fridge & a bottle of prosecco which was fine. The location was excellent! The food was more than excellent! Plenty to choose from well cooked and lots of flavour. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Bathroom clean but again dated bath could do with renewal but still usable. Water pressure great. Amenities great! Staff in all service areas were brilliant.

My new second home :) had the best 5 days on holiday here. Was on a solo holiday and had the time of my life. Rooms are spotless, the food is a hit and a miss, had some nice lunch but I’m a fussy eater, so wasn’t a fan any other time. The drinks were so strong & was never thirsty lol. Can’t comment on the swimming pool as it was too cold and didn’t bother with it. Can’t comment on the entertainment, as I’m younger and didn’t really attend any. But location wise and everything else is absolutely spot on. Can’t wait to book again next month :)

We arrived at the Cristal Park Hotel in the early hours of Tuesday morning, during our check-in we the reception person didn’t explain to us what was included in the (Ultra Premium) band, how we go about the bus times for the other resorts, so the kids ended up missing out on visiting the other resorts as we only discovered their was a bus timetable on the wall at reception two days before leaving. The hotel it’s self is like walking back into the 1912 the reception area is out dated ie (Like the titanic lobby). Our stay here was wasn’t great we had to make our own entertainment (recommend to bring a speaker) as you will need it. Also we was not told about the games room for the kids until the last two days of the holiday, so the kids ended up missing out using that. As they definitely show more gratitude and respect towards the Spanish, and the entertainment every night for our week stay was more for the Spanish then the British, Irish and Scottish. We had to sit outside every night were there were hardly no chairs or tables to sit at, the Spanish was rude and disrespectful towards the English. The only staff that were nice towards us showing us gratitude and respect was the bar staff. The restaurants were lovely but always had flies around the food areas. The room it’s self on inspection there was dead skin and grime above the sliding doors leading to the balcony. And also there wasn’t enough deck chairs on the roof for all the guests. On checkout day: We handed in our wrist bands and we were unable to use them to get drinks once checked out. My overall customer experience was pretty poor and they definitely cater more towards the Spanish than the English. My overall rating for my stay: ***

The hotel is two minutes from the main strip where all the lively bars are. Two lively busy bars virtually next door and several eating places plus an indoor market next door. Surprisingly you couldn't here any outside noise in your room. We had a family room even though there was only 2 of us but we upgraded to one with a balcony. Both rooms were good. My wife accidentally left her air pods in the room but only realized a couple of days later. The staff were really helpful and despite our fears they managed to locate them after a few days. Always seemed plenty of room round the pool and plenty of sunbeds. We was half board. The evening meals were good with plenty of choice however the breakfast wasn't great maybe because we was always up close to closing which is why we had breakfast out most of the time. Overall a good place and would go back 👍

Beverley Knox

Just came back from this hotel, and after reading some of the reviews, I was a bit hesitant on the holiday. But it's really good for a 3 star. Rooms are basic but clean. Cleaned every day with fresh towels. Staff are very helpful. Food wasn't as bad as some of the reviews depending on what you like. The fresh fruit available was nice. The chef did his best to keep the food fresh, and if asked, he would accommodate where he could. The location is good as well. But you must go to the new burrito shop on Av.Del Mediterraneo the guy's in there are brilliant, friendly, and chatty and make you feel like a friend. The burritos are definitely tasty and made fresh.

On lead up to my holiday, was not looking forward to it as reading terrible reviews. In my opinion, the room was spotless, I found all the staff very friendly and friendly, there was always something to choose at mealtimes, although sometimes not red hot, was nice. The only fault I had were the lifts, very slow and sometimes I felt like Zebedee going up and down to different floors before reaching my floor on 11. All in all would definitely go back

Flavia Santoro

My review is mostly for the animation staff who did great for my 3 years son, especially Paula who went above and beyond to keep him entertained, allowing mum and dad some precious relaxing time by the pool. She really created a strong bond with our son. He will definitely miss her. Loved the food with plenty of choices to make happy all kind of dietary. The front of house lady at lunch was very kind by punctually pointing out the desserts suitable for my late pregnancy. Pool area is very nice, lot of space where you can relax. Only found the water too cold for this time of the year, so I avoided it. It would be good if sunbeds and other equipments could be modernised a little: everything look quite aged, including rooms very basic and ordinary. First impression of the place was not good because of the queue at the reception. The check in process felt like taking forever, making the experience a little stressful. This should definitely be reviewed by management.

Atmosphere and the hotel itself was a bit dull and boring. We booked as B&B. You couldn't buy a snack from the hotel. The only way to buy a snack was to pay to go all inclusive! The breakfast wasn't great, female staff at the Reception desk were quite abrupt and need further training on their soft skills with it being the most important skill you use when you work with the public, especially at a reception desk in the hotel. It's called Customer Service. It was clean and fresh, the location is great. I probably wouldn't recommend.

Anne Young

I was allocated a room in the main building which was OK but badly needed some maintenance. Food is buffet style which is not bad, you can always have something to eat. You do not get a kettle etc in your room, but ask at reception and they will give you one. The staff are generally very good. If you like to sunbathe you can only do it in the morning as the surrounding buildings block the sun in the afternoon, that really annoyed me 😪 Had to go to beach and pay for sunbeds😪😡

Alexander S

Not a 4 star in normal standards. Met with bedbugs on pillow and walls, they handled it good and gave us a room without hopefully. When do you wash the sheetscovers that covers the bedsheets? Lots of foodoptions (different theme each day of week) but most of what I wanted wasnt prepeared well or tasty… it started off bad with the burgers under snacktime which was grossly undercooked (looks pretty well done but all pink inside!), the toaster for snacksandwiches needs cleaning, bacon breakfast undercooked. The «spa» looks like its falling apart and was missing tiles, dirty broken old showers, missing lights, closed off «construction area» and pool, outdoor poolarea are operating but the pools and sunbeds all closed with a gate for a «few days» (saw it was closed over a week ago as well even though noone works on it, so how long is a few days?), so we have to pay to swim!?! Not possible to get a coffee at 6.30 or kettle, we got one later…

Sandra Jordan

Just had an amazing week in the Dynastic hotel. The staff were absolutely fantastic, they couldn't do enough for us and were so friendly. While the pool was a little small it was plenty big enough for what we needed and the children spent so much time there. The food was lovely, always had something I enjoyed. The maid service could have been a little better, floors weren't swept all week but fresh towels every day. We were a 5 minute walk to the beach and plenty of amenities close by. I would definitely go back.

Teri Knight

1. No variety of food was mostly fish. 2. Air conditioning started pouring water in middle of the night and there was nobody on reception except a security guard who had no idea how to deal with the situation, there was water getting into the light fittings and electrics, my partner had slipped on the floor and all the security guard did was put towels on the floor, therefore spent all night sat in hotel lobby. Were put into a different room in the morning but found the whole experience very poor. Hotel did apologise but seemed like they didn’t really care. 3. The pool was small for the size of hotel, water was dirty due to too many people in pool at once. 4. Hotel photos advertised were not what we had expected when arrived, rooms looked nothing like photos, dining room looked nothing like photos. 5. No towels being replaced in room after it had been cleaned, twice I had to go to reception to get new towels. Cleaners came in the room to make beds, one of the beds had blood on the sheets, cleaners ignored this and didn’t change bed. 6. The bathrooms were not clean there was mold around bath. Staff were very nice but overall WOULD NOT RECOMMEND STAYING AT THIS HOTEL!!! WE STAYED FOR 7 NIGHTS IT WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF £1183

Tracy Oliver

Looks the part as you enter lobby area. However room shabby dark stains on walls in several places bathroom bin dirt and rusty toilet brush needs to go in bin. Strange smell/drains?beds undersheet filthy. Mattress had to be changed it was broken?Water on floor when you shower not sealed correctly. Air con vents dirty. Floors needed a proper clean. Pool in shade very small. Entertainment average. Food OK repeats every week. Good points shower powerful breakfast good Wednesday BBQ night was the best food. Great location. Not 4 star.

Christopher White

Great hotel, staff were very friendly. Rooms were amazing, couldn't fault them to be honest. One of the days we had no electricity but one call to reception and the electric was back on within an hour or 2 Food was exquisite, wide selection of foods over the day, snacks were just as tasteful and full of choice Would stay there again

Scott Whitaker

Came here for a weeks holiday all inclusive. The staff are great, the hotel is very clean the rooms are lovely. Food here is brilliant there is a good choice for everyone. The hotel is situated in a good place not too near the noisy parts of benidorm only about 5-10 minutes walk away from everything.

Katrina Simpson

Our 2nd visit and again we were not disappointed. The hotel was busier than I expected for the time of year. The rooms or should I say apartments are so spacious, I cannot fault them. There was always something tasty to eat as the selection was so varied. The hotel is over 14 years old only and that makes a huge difference for a peaceful holiday. The bar staff are great too. I would highly recommend and we will be back again soon.

Phil Didcote

Absolutely love this Hotel. Staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome. Reception and bar staff. Our room was superb. We stayed in the smaller block which is the premium rooms. Very spacious. Has a Mini kitchen area. Lovely bathroom walk in shower. Large TV if you have time to watch TV, we didn’t but does have quite a few English channels. Beds comfy clean. Best part of it was the balcony area, so large with sun beds so we were able to sunbathe in privacy away from the pools. 3 x pools, plenty bars as well as help your self AI. All inclusive food was very good. I would say most of the food was good quality. Lots of choice. We enjoyed the fish dishes. Overall a fantastic stay special thanks to Georgi, Laura, Neomi, Romano, and James behind the main bar who keep smiling all night and made us so welcome despite ghe few idiots that let us Brits down. ❤️❤️❤️

Ant Bax

What a gem this place is stayed all inclusive and well worth it the food was great and the entertainment was great too.Our room on the 16th floor was one of the best hotel rooms I have had very spacious with a great view. May be a little out of the way for some.

PC Kings

Hotel is well run, clean and overall good. Only reason to visit reception was to get information. Not central to Benidorm but well within reach on public transport. A small great beach within a 10 minute walk with the long beach to the old town within 10 minutes. Great views overlooking the mountains. Better views if lucky enough to get a seafront view which we weren't. The food was nice enough and last night's food was really tasty. Coffee is not nice.

Roque Segadevieito

There are so many positives about this hotel but without a doubt their one strength is their staff - they were singularly amazing. They immediately made us feel at home - friendly, helpful and good fun. Well done to all of them but a special mention to Camila and Begonia. As always with these sort of reviews, if you're the kind of person who is polite, appreciative of people's hard work and treat them with respect, you'll love the staff here. The food is really good. Great variety, good salads, some cracking dishes and you're never far away from a good paella! We were here during Halloween and I have to say they went out on a limb here and really took care of the kids that were in the hotel with a massive trick or treat round of the hotel and a cool little homemade terror tunnel. Downside? Well, yes there was one. Our room was a little tired - 0501 in the smaller tower. We had a faulty shower, a dodgy cistern and some open cracks in the wall - it just wasn't what we have been used to from this hotel. We ended up being moved which took a couple of days and that took its toll a little. That being said, we came away having had a really good week. The staff in the hotel very much made it so a big thanks to them.

Thandi Boshoma

Gran Hotel Bali located in Benidorm, Spain is quite spacious and family-friendly, boasting two swimming pools, a wellness center, and a variety of shops. It caters for all age groups. During my visit, there were more old age couples. One of the highlights for me was staying in a room with a sea view. Waking up to the soothing sounds of the ocean waves and the refreshing breeze was delightful. However, there were a few areas for improvement. I was surprised to find that the hotel does not provide complimentary bottled water in the rooms, and there’s no coffee or tea available either. If you want those beverages, you have to go down to the restaurant and purchase them. Additionally, the breakfast options were somewhat limited, especially for those who don’t eat pork, as the selection was mainly pig-based sausages and meaty stuff. As a result, I found myself opting for eggs each morning. Moreover, while the Wi-Fi was complimentary, the connection wasn’t very reliable. Overall, my experience was quite enjoyable, but adding a few thoughtful amenities would have truly elevated my stay.

Rowena Lewis

Lovely hotel. Beautiful breakfast. Pool is clean, room is okay. Not the best but will still come back here. Room is big. Good service. Good value for what we paid for. About 20 minute walk to the beach. In a quiet place but loads of shops, restaurants, supermarkets nearby. Quite far to the main old town but we love walking so it's a good exercise for us.

Marc

Fantastic 4 star hotel in a wonderful town close to the beach with fantastic views. But what a shame it is mismanaged; the first shock was the welcome at reception by very rude and aggressive staff. No one seems to understand hospitality. The rooms are in a poor state of repair and signage/information is lacking. For example one of the main jets and the complementary drinks machine in the spa were not working (no one knew). There are 2 restaurants; the main one downstairs is not signposted, when it would be so simple to put a sign at the stairs or lift that leads to the restaurant and not directly outside the restaurant door - illogical. There are glass elevators that only work when the wind is below a certain speed - we have tried to use these elevators for 2 days now (no wind at all) and they never work! It would be a good idea to have a seating area by the lifts as the wait could be some time - seems as though they are not programmed correctly. Breakfast is a disaster - wastage like nothing seen before. To sum up WHAT A MESS

Elaine Clarke

Flies on food not covered up! Lift number 2 had fresh blood on its wall for 3 days until I told reception...so they're not being cleaned every day. Only 1 chair on the balcony...got another 3days later after complaining twice daily! Not enough cups at breakfast.. people walking round looking and staff not very interested. On the other hand... Reception staff were very helpful and polite. The main area of the hotel looks lovely with all the greenery. Lifts were all working as far as I know. Pool is large but area not big enough for all the sunbeds.

Lisa Marsden

We came for a friends birthday 11 ladies. The hotel was absolutely beautiful, clean, friendly staff, great terrace bar ! Pool is beautiful too and no problems with getting a sun bed. The area itself is great - far enough from the strip so not to hear the partying but close enough to walk or a short taxi ride to the night life! The night life is brilliant. Look, it’s not luxoury but it’s certainly not bad at all it’s so much fun ! We were so worried about pick pockets and mugging and dodgy people in the clubs but saw none of that. Honestly had the best time !!

Will J

Worst melia I have been to. The Level experience was poor, Rooms and hotel are dated, unclean, and need refurbishing. At no point was there any clean crockery or cutlery and the half board evening meals were the same below average standard lukewarm food. Non of the english TV channels worked for those who that matters to. There are better hotels all around, not asking as much money or pretending to be something g they are not. Adults only - BCL Levante is way better. Cheap and cheerful with kids - go to Flamingo next door, better all round and fantastic food. Something a little more - Presidente is much better. And if you must stick to Melia brand then go further afield to Melia Villaitana, they do proper Level experience. Avoid this hotel, you will not regret not going, but you will regret going

James Withers

Reception is very nice, and the service was good. Sofa's very grubby. The rooms are in need of updating and worn, but the size was ok, and they were quite clean. Air con poor Sounds like needs a service. Vid attached for the sound Restaurant food was quite good and reasonably selection but not enough for me to eat there 5 night in a row. Pool area quality A 3.5 star hotel. 4 star if the rooms were updated

michelle l

I love to go to Hotel melia benidorm. Very lovely hotel. Very spacious. Amazing pool area that looks beautiful all lit up at night. Amazing views from the rooms which have a very spacious balcony. The hotel has very nice facilities. I didn't use the restaurant this time round, but it can be very busy. I loved going into the cafe bar at night with my family. They have a lovely group of servers in there who are definitely an asset to the hotel: Fernando, Jose, Lydia, and the other lovely girl who was serving who we unfortunately didn't catch her name but they are all so friendly and make it a very friendly environment for any patrons coming into the bar. People from all over the world frequent this hotel, which adds to the appeal.

Carol Caldwell

Hotel is dated in places - our room in particular Our room was also very basically furnished. Also although plenty loungers, again , a lot were very dated, torn in places. Great selection of food at all meals and plentiful. Good pool areas but the main large pool does not have signs showing the depth at the deep end and it is very deep. Entertainment wasn't great. The hotel has a free bus service to the beach. The beach is a good 30 min walk downhill. All the staff were lovely, very helpful.

Henry Carlton

This is our second time staying here and I have to say it's a great hotel to bring the family, our grandchildren love the pools and the food the hotel provide. It's not far from the airport by taxi. You can get the hotel free bus into the town and there's a train station nearby that also takes you into town. The staff are incredibly helpful from checking in to Imad and Valentina on the restaurant front of house duties. All the restaurant staff are very helpful and the food is varied. We go all inclusive as it's easier... in fact we've booked for next year. Family rooms are great with views over the pools and sea or mountains. Very clean, housekeeping is very clean.

Jeff Kilgannon

We had a lovely 5 night stay here at the start of October. We were really impressed with everything. Rooms were big and balcony had a view over the pools. 3 pools in total. Pool bar was good with self serve beer and soft drinks. Location is a bit back from the front but complimentary bus is available. It is a 10 mini walk from the train station which is 3 stops from Málaga airport. Food is buffet style and a bit repetitive but is of good quality and always something there to your liking. we would recommend 100%.

sarah ward

Enjoyed our stay here, the entertainment was very good, the pool activities were super fun! Food selection was good, beds were comfortable. Great family holiday! Reason for 4 star is on an occasions we were told to leave the restaurant while mid eating cause they were closing- they seem abit strict on this, any restaurant I have been to will let you finish your meal. Also rooms could do with an update. Aside from that we had a ball- Would recommend. Really nice hotel and great for families.

Gill Christina

This is a lovely hotel. It is a little way outside town, but peaceful at night and they have a free shuttle bus to beach and centre. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful, courteous and kind. Nothing is too much trouble. Food choices were excellent and the buffet food was delicious. Plenty of choices if you are on healthy/low-carb, but there is something for everyone. I was a solo traveller, but this hotel seems especially good for families. They have a great programme of entertainment, lovely gardens and swimming pools. Don’t miss the flamenco show. It is fabulous! The room was clean and comfortable. I can’t fault it at all. I hope to go back for another visit.

Saulė Gedvilaitė

The rooms, the hotel view, and the exterior scenery are all stunning. However, the food was disappointing and barely edible. From the reviews, it's clear that many guests have complained about the poor food quality, and it seems the management is not addressing these issues. If the hotel continues with this approach, it might drop from a 4-star to a 3- or even 2-star rating. Based on our experience, we believe this resort is at most a 3-star and are quite disappointed. The staff were friendly, smiling, and pleasant. We purchased an all-inclusive package, but were surprised to find that we still had to pay for certain drinks, ice cream, snacks, and some non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, a swim cap is required to use the indoor pool, which is an extra cost not covered by the all-inclusive package. We expected that with an all-inclusive plan, such amenities would be included so that guests could enjoy their stay without additional expenses. The resort may be suitable for families with young children (ages 1 to 8/9), but if you are traveling without kids or with older children, it may not be the best choice. We expected more from this resort and are very disappointed. Even though we are still here, we won’t be returning and cannot recommend it.

Michael Oduba

By far the worst food ever had at an all inclusive. To say how big the hotel is the choice of food and quality of food I wouldn't feed my dog. Lower your expectations if you're coming for quality. The desserts are all good but the mains are very poor. I imagine prison food nit being this bad. Rooms are reasonable size and the veranda had alot of good space. The hotel is well over due a revamp and bringing up to recent times. The pool areas are all good but they sell inflatables and you can't even use them in the kids pool. You have to go over the road to the water park if u want to use a inflatable. The all inclusive bar is OK but the cocktails all being pre made and put in a jug a pina colada is more like warm pineapple syrup. Not alot of choice on the cocktails either.

Krystian Pietrzyk

We was there for 5 nights in Polynesia. First opening door of the room we notice there was hole in the wardrobe in bedroom and bed was dancing when you was trying to lay down, another minus bed for couple was made from 2 separate beds which was horrible to sleep … Half of the staff was ok, specially people on the restaurant was lovely, Reception people, problem with communication due to very low knowledge of English. We arrive before 11 pm and we cannot expect any food available for us with 2.5 year old boy, only “snack bar” was open where 90% of things was drinks and beer. Food was very good at restaurant and staff there was lovely. Big minus for parents which comes with child age close to 3 y/o, there is no attractions for kids in this age, only after 9pm… Soft play not accepting kids under 3y/o but they charging you for 2.5 years old kid like for adult. Localisation of the resort is not the great due to walking distance far with kid to the center, you can only use public transport or taxi where public transport cost you €4 and taxi 11/13 to the center, trans station around 45 min walk form the hotel to get easily to Malaga. I can say food good, rooms can be better and service of the reception staff can be much better also they should change offer for kids under 3 to charge less or offer more for kids in this age. If I will be back there ? I don’t think so.

Sheikh Uddin

Great hotel and really good value for money. The only downside was you had to pay to use the indoor pool as they say it's part of their spa experience which was a downer. Never the less we did use the spa and it was really good. Just wish they included it in the price you pay.

Ján Zastko

We recently visited the Holiday World Resort and had mixed feelings about our stay. The only truly negative aspect was the lack of a private beach at the hotel, which meant we had to walk 15 minutes to reach the nearest one. Another aspect that left us wanting was the outdated condition of the hotel facilities. It seemed rather old and could benefit from some renovations. However, we were very pleased with the staff's attitude, the variety of activities offered, and the quality of the food. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the activities available at the hotel helped us have enjoyable moments. We found the room to be very clean, but unfortunately, there was often an unpleasant odor from the drains in the bathroom, which somewhat affected our overall impression.

Steven

Lovely hotel, very clean in all the public areas, good location, just minutes from the gorgeous marina. Hotel room was fairly small, and would have been nice to have two chairs in a double room. Nice to have a fridge available. Nice small balcony which could have done with a higher table in case you wanted to eat or use it to write on, or lean a book on. Lovely swimming pool, albeit very cold water. Lovely restaurant for breakfast, loads of choice and food very good quality. Staff very friendly throughout the hotel. Hotel is cashless via a band which enabled you to buy drinks etc at the bar

Beth Lyle

The pictures do not do this hotel justice! It’s modern, sleek and absolutely spotless. All the staff including reception, housekeeping, waiting on and entertainment are all so pleasant and can’t do enough for you. The view from our balcony was stunning. We were always happy with the selection at meal times. The hotel is in a fantastic location with so many places to eat and drink around. The beach is a very short walk away and supermarkets are all around for convenience. The facilities (pool, gym, sauna etc) were exceptional. All around a great hotel! Would definitely recommend

nikki Tildesley

Just came back from 10 days stay. A really lovely hotel, ideal location near the main streets, supermarket and the marina. The hotel was spotless, we had a really lovely end room, double aspect with a large balcony and sea and marina views. Delicious food with so much choice, they even offered gluten free options, with a dedicated gluten free area with my own toaster for cross contamination purposes. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, from the waiters, who work so hard, the bar and entertainment staff, down to the cleaners. Really comfy beds, coffee making facilities and fridge in the room with an amazing shower! Thank you to everyone at the hotel, we will definitely be back!

Neil Duncan

Stayed here for 5 days in November, a really nice hotel, our experience does not match some of the negatives reviews on here. The rooms were clean, beds comfy, had a kettle and a small fridge, a strong shower, BBC1 and 2, ITV and channel 4 on the TV, staff we engaged with were all pleasant and helpful, the grounds were attractive and well kept. Breakfast was great - plenty of choice, although could have been hotter. Location is really good & 5 mins to shops bars etc, bus stop, the beach. The Marina area is great, so many bars and eating places to choose from.

Alexandra Plant

Stayed for a week with my mum and gran. The hotel had good and bad points, but on a whole I would recommend, mainly due to how fabulous the staff were. So the pros: The most amazing thing about the hotel is the staff. The animation team are LOVELY and they offered brilliant aqua classes and generally just fab. The restaurant and bar staff are super attentive and really helpful for allergies. My gran and I are celiac and they went out of their way to accommodate for us and made gluten free pizza/ pasta for lunch/ dinners as well as walking us through the gluten free options available that day. The male restaurant manager in particular was AMAZING. He was always so approachable despite being so busy, so smiley and friendly and made an effort to remember things about each guest which made a massive difference to everyone. Reception were always also very accommodating when their was difficulties in the room. The food itself is a massive pro, lots of options, always really really good food! Hats off to the chef. The location was brilliant. It was right onto the Marina, literally crossed the road and your at the marina. Also near a bus stop (although we couldn’t work out the buses 😂). Generally, the hotel was always clean and tidy! Cons: There was three of us and we had paid for a family room. Anyone booking this be aware that all the rooms are the same size, so if you are a couple or a family you will have the same size room but with just an extra double bed. We had to store suitcases on the balcony and shared a double wardrobe for 3 people. Very minimal space and difficult to get ready. The pool doesn’t open until 10 o’clock (we went at beginning of September) and there is a queue from 10 to 10 for sunbeds as there isn’t lots of space around the pool. There is some beds on the garden area which is lovely, however we got bitten a lot! Overall though great experience, I would go back if there was only two people going! One final time though because I can’t stress this enough….staff are incredible. Thanks so much.

Pamela Ward

We had a lovely stay at Globales Gardenia this past week. The staff were very friendly and helpful, going out of their way to help. They all smiled and chatted to our 2 year old son, who also seemed to really enjoy his stay. The room was very clean and spacious, and the staff did a great job of keeping the dining area clean throughout the day. We were very impressed with the staff and the hotel.

Teagan Price

This hotel gets all five stars for me. It was the perfect location, where you walk out the back exit onto the beachfront. Food was above average, we stayed all inclusive and we never went hungry, there was options for everyone such as: salad bar, fresh fruit and veg, meat, pasta, different meals inclusive to the day, a griddle where you can ask the chef to cook whichever fresh meats were on that day and so much more. The alcohol drinks included in all inclusive were 6 cocktail choices, vodka, rum, whiskey, and various others. The soft drinks were Pepsi max and normal Pepsi, orange and lemon “fanta”, sprite, and ice tea. Tea, coffee and various fruit juices were also available. For entertainment, they had a schedule fully filled with games throughout the day, such as, French boules, mini golf, shuffleboard, darts, ping pong, shooting and archery. These were so fun and popular with the other guests, I’m in my 20s and we said no at first but by the second day we were loving the games and the competition with them there people. The staff were beyond lovely, everyone was so welcoming and you can truly tell they love their jobs, George, Lola and their colleague doing the games and entertainment sealed the deal for me, they will be the reason we will return at any chance we get. The location is around 7 minutes from the town centre on the bus (€1.20 per person) and taxi is around €6. You have plenty of shops and restaurants next to the hotel so we didn’t tend to go into town too much. The beaches are lovely, and our room has the perfect view of the seafront. We stayed in SEPTEMBER 2024 and we had no problems with the busy times or sun bed availability, the pool was clean and there are multiple bars open for guests. All in all, a great stay and we have already booked for next year ☀️

Kirsty West

This was my second stay in this hotel. The accommodation is basic but very clean and the beds are comfortable. Air conditioning takes a while to cool the room, we left the power card plugged in for an hour or so before getting ready for evenings. Food is ok but as with our first stay, it was often cold and they really need to find a way to keep hot food hot. There is a good variety of food but generally its quite bland. The addition of the chef cooking fresh on the griddle was good. Omelette and burger I had from there were very good. The salad choices are lovely. Some snacks available during the day, cake, fruit etc. New pool bar is nice. Choice of all inclusive drinks could be better. Entertainment - either the acoustics in the lounge room are awful or the sound system needs looking into. It was really difficult to hear what was being said over the microphone. Trying to hear quiz questions for example. Pillars in the room mean that if you miss out on one of the few tables in the middle, you are going to struggle to see the acts. The animation team work really hard day and night and are brilliant. Lola is hilarious! The external acts we saw though weren't so good. This may have been partially due to the sound problems in the room. There are loads of sun loungers, although as with most resorts, there are people claiming beds early in the morning. That said, we never had a problem finding a space or a bed for the day. There are several areas to set yourself up for sun bathing, poolside or in the gardens. The beach is just across the road too. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Overall I enjoyed my stay but doubt I will stay a third time and would probably go for a 4 or 5 star option next time.

We have been to a Globales group hotel before, so when picking a hotel in Fuengirola, it seemed the one to pick after the excellent service, food, and overall experience we had last time. Check-in was painless and room ready, and the seventh floor, where the view was great ( see pic ) Seeing we were half board and we arrived at 2 pm, couldn't use the restaurant but was offered All inclusive, pay for 5 and get 7, we declinned. Price wasn't given. Later that day, we had an hour on the sun beds before shower and evening meal. There are lots of sun beds even in the morning. Food at the evening was okay but could have been a lot hotter, and when a tray was empty, it should have been refilled. Sadly, if you went late, this didn't happen. That was the same at breakfast. This let down the hotel greatly Food is important !!!! We didn't see any entertainment, but there was some every night. After 10 p.m., adults only A little away from the main town but bus service good and only 1.20 euros one way Taxi back 10. Would I go back? Probably not Gardens, room, brilliant shower, and hotel staff very happy to help though

This hotel is excellent in my opinion definitely 4 star standard. Staff were helpful, attentive and polite. Our room was spotlessly cleaned everyday as was the entire hotel. Food was excellent particularly the live cooking stations, although could be a little repeatative at times especially the snack bar which had the same choice everyday. Evening entertainment was first class the hotel even hired in some external acts who were great in particular the male singing trio who were fantastic. The location is great near enough to get to everything but just away enough to get a peaceful night sleep in the very comfortable beds. My only very light criticism would be that 35 euros for a safe for the week seemed expensive and a fridge in room would be nice, think hotel would benefit from considering including these. All in all a great stay highly recommended and definitely would return.

Initially thought we’d come to a nice hotel for our last night but soon turned out that wasn’t the case. The rooms are poorly lit with wallpaper peeling off the walls and small cockroaches. The food was terrible we ordered the steak and managed 1 bite, after mentioning this we were told we still had to pay and all food is non refundable, the staff seemed familiar with this complaint. The shower filter was blocked and almost flooded our room. We got the room through agoda on a discount but if we paid full price I’d be even more disappointed. Don’t recommend staying here.

I felt my last review was taken down because I couldn’t find it so I am posting again. Please book somewhere else. They tried to make me pay for using the towels in my room … said it was “property damage” they basically over charge for every single little thing. I had such a lackluster experience here to be honest. Staff was ok, a little nosy. Honestly my stay was 4/5 until check out then it went down to 2/5 when she was trying to charge me money for using a damn towel. Told her go to hell, I did not pay it. I’d only stay a few nights here. Not more than a week. They did nice with the room decoration that I requested and they did have a good menu for room service. Just really did not like being treated in the way that I was at the end of my stay. Also for security called on me for laughing with my wife while going upstairs. Weird. Nearly nightly we were woken up by random teenagers running up and down the hall yelling and stomping their feet. We never said a word to them. Apparently laughing is a reason to call security but not being an idiot.

The hotel ambience is very comfy, since the lighting in the hotel is made rather dim so it makes us sleepy when we come into the hotel lol. There are also 2 infinity pools, for children and adults separately. The choice of breakfast menu is nothing special, it's mediocre. The price of the hotel is reasonable, close to the airport and Kelan beach. I was comfortable when staying at this hotel.

5 or 6 out of 10 over all. Positives - The rooftop pools are nice, even if the surrounding view isn't very special. The bed was large and comfortable, the air con worked well, and there was plenty of storage room. The staff were all lovely. Gym is decent! Negatives - The location isn't that great at all for a holiday base. If you don't mind taking a taxi for a few minutes every time you want to go to the beach area it's ok, but...Right outside of the hotel is an extremely busy road. It's not exactly a relaxing holiday feeling. The hotel area in general is also a bit dark and dingy. The rooftop bar was really bad. No fans or aircon working & just no atmosphere at all. More like a canteen. There aren't enough sun beds with umbrellas considering the size of the hotel.

Anjani Disti

Found this hotel through travel app with a very good price. Decided to book and didn’t expected much but turns out the hotel was great! The room was spacious and clean even though the aircon didn’t work when I checked in. Called the concierge and they sent someone right away. Ordered some food and drinks, it taste nice with reasonable price. They provide shuttle services to some beach club but I didn’t try it. Maybe next time!

Beautiful view from the room although it was a bad weather but still the view is superb! Every thing is great in the hotel, the bar, the swimming pool is beautiful, overlooking the sea The only thing to be improved is the restaurant and the food quality, the breakfast was good with lot of variety but the lunch and dinner are kinda lack of meat option. The wok section is good but the waiting time is quite long.

Our stay started off ok, but after the first few days, we decided to stay at the hotel all day so went for lunch. Within a few hours, my wife was extremely ill with food poisoning and then couldn't leave the hotel for the rest of our holiday. All reception could do for me was give me directions to the nearest Pharmacy (who were very helpful and didn't seem surprised when I said where we were staying). The receptionist at the hotel did make a note of our room number and seemed to add it to a list on a desk behind her. We had booked and paid for a few independant excursions over our last few days, but were unable to go due to the illness. On our return home 2 weeks ago, I have sent numerous emails to the hotel with not a single response. While the rooms and hotel are possibly a 3 star, the food offering probably doesn’t even make that grade.

Dawn White

Pleasant enough hotel, hard working and friendly staff, great cabaret in the evening and a decent selection of food but unfortunately we all suffered food poisoning. After the 48-hour bout, we had no appetite for food or alcohol. After the first day, we never had the five of us together at dinner or daytime again. Always at least one person in their room sick. Jet2 was professional and went through protocol but didn't really accept the problem. They told us to ring a doctor to get a sample to track the cause of the sickness. I would not advocate this hotel. The main subject amongst guests was when did you get food poisoning? It was a shame as this was a special family holiday of three generations together for the first time. Obviously, we won't be returning.

Fantastic hotel and amazing value for money. Great location overlooking the beach. All staff super friendly and welcoming. Standard of cleaning very high. Would definitely recommend and return.

Rich Apperley

Nice location almost private section of beach. Eat as much as u can dining was clean and had good parking and disabled access. They have indoor jet pool with spa and outdoor pool and separate jet pool. Located at belamadina costa del sol right in middle of tourist area.

We stayed here at the start of October, the hotel was exceptional. We had a superior double room and could not fault it. The hairdryer wasn’t great but just bring your own. The views were amazing. Beach was close by, pools were cold but that is to be expected in October. All staff were lovely. The entertainment wasn’t great but that is down to personal choice. Food was great always something to eat for everyone in our family. Drinks were great and even was given some shots by the amazing bar staff. Definitely recommend and would return in a heart beat

David Oliver

Really nice hotel. We had a fabulous room with great sea views.The food was good and plentiful. The reception area needs a complete re- vamp with new flooring, comfortable seating and a more welcoming atmosphere. It needs to be turned into a comfortable lounge instead of a dentist waiting room.

Will, this is supposed to be a 4-star hotel, i have stayed in a number of 4-star hotels, and this is differently not a 4 star, at a maximum, I would put it at a 3. If your after a 4 star good hotel then I would recommend elsewhere. We stayed in a 3 star hotel close by 2 years ago and it was better. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Edit review after a few days. Sunbeds, no padding and in need of new ones, no towel cards, you can pay for a towel at €10 then it's a €1 everytime you want to change it. The food isn't too bad and the staff are also good. It feels like a previous 3 star self-catering hotel which is trying to do A.I.

We stayed here in July 2024. The hotel is spotlessly clean (e.g., the poolside toilets are cleaned approx 4 times throughout the day). The service by staff is friendly, polite and exceptionally helpful. There are a selection of pools to choose from (including an indoor one). There are 'adult only' pools, that are more relaxing, through to a kids splash pool with a selection of slides and a main pool, all with poolside seating and a well stocked food/drink station beside. The entertainment staff are friendly and helpful. The food was amazing (we were all inclusive), with various themed nights to keep things changed up. To the immediate south of the hotel (and accessible via a gate) is a beautiful beachfront walk.

Left today 19th October. We have just spent 7 days at this hotel only to be disappointed. Generally the hotel was in need of an upgrade. The adult area around the pool was adequate, the staff were generally good. Our room was ok lovely view but unfortunately the bar was far too small for the amount of people staying there and you had to queue most of the time to get a drink. The food was of reasonable quality but unfortunately we did not have a hot meal the whole week and all the plates were cold. We had to heat our plates and food morning day and night, thank god for the microwave. Will we be returning to this hotel definitely not. Would I recommend this hotel to anyone, definitely not.

Old tired hotel, but the staff is trying to give you the best impression. Amazing location, and the first line. The safe is paid, but you can get towel or iron for deposit only. The umbrella and sunbeds on the beach are 3€ each. Great WiFi! Animation team is trying their best to entertain children in the pool at day, and make mini disco for them every evening. But for adults it's really weak. But they offer paid excursions and outside experience, you need to check the calendar on the bar door near reception, the surfing/kayaking experience was good 👍 Overally, it's a good hotel for non picky travellers, I would return here.

Jemma White

Andrea, Alex & Fenna absolutely made the hotel and the FUN! Well done to you guys and thanks for making our days at the pool lots of fun. Evening entertainment was so much fun, too x Food fantastic - lots of choice each day from a varied buffet. Self service all inclusive and a range of spirits The only let down was the rooms really, which do not deserve a 5*, very dated and unkempt. Cannot deny the fantastic location on the beach - wonderful ❤️

**Terrible Experience - Avoid This Hotel!** I can't believe this place has four stars. The hotel is ridiculously old, and it shows in every corner. The bathtub was disgusting, covered in stains that made me cringe just looking at it. The room was tiny, much smaller than advertised. They promised a double room, but what we got were three beds crammed into the space, with one awkwardly placed at the foot of the others. It felt more like a hostel than a hotel. The overall experience was awful. The snacks were a joke—barely anything to choose from, and you're forced to eat in the restaurant if you're hungry. Even there, the menu was so limited it wasn't worth it. To make things worse, the meals didn't even offer a meat option—just chicken and fish, which got old really fast. Save your money and stay somewhere else. This place is a disaster.

Let me preface this with saying that i never complain about a budget hotel, because what you pay is what you get. But this hotel topped everything, in a bad way. The only good part about this hotel is the location. That being said, let me list whats wrong with this hotel; Bathrooms are horrible, there’s mold everywhere and the ceiling is partly collapsing. The bed itself is OK, my partner hated it because it was so hard, but i didnt mind it. The train starts at 6.30 i think and it’s LOUD. It even came through my earplugs. The hotel itself is very outdated, which in itself isnt a bad thing, but you see everything is falling apart which is a shame. The tiles at the pool are broken and loose, there is 1 music box for the whole pool which makes it that only in 1 spot you hear the music. The worst part is mostly the bar staff; they don’t smile, they don’t engage with you. They look like they’d rather be anywhere else, which is a shame. We met a couple that came here 12 years ago and they were shocked at the state of the hotel. They told us the all-inclusive food was terrible; almost no choice and everything is gone after an hour. You even have to pay extra for almost every cocktail…. Luckily we didn’t get the all-inclusive package. Lastly; there is no good entertainment in this hotel. If you want to enjoy your evening, go to another hotel in the area and you’ll love it. In short; i think any hotel is better than this one.

The bartenders are very unfriendly; they roll their eyes, behave completely disrespectfully towards customers, and you get the impression that they talk about you sometimes when you ask for something. Their behavior is not at all acceptable, as a customer you feel unwelcome. The only friendly person at the bar, who behaved impeccably, is a woman of color. The hotel is okay, you can see that the years have passed over it and nothing has been renovated. It is very well located just 10 meters from the beach, right in the center of interest where tourists can stroll along the promenade. A disadvantage is that the hotel is right next to the train tracks, and it can be a bit disturbing when the train passes. The food is very good; there are many varieties, and it's clear that the waiters and chefs put in a lot of effort to satisfy every demand. The cleaning ladies were also nice; they came daily and cleaned well. It is a suitable hotel for families with children; every evening there are events specifically for kids.
