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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Typical all inclusive holiday, rooms were basic but nice, tidy and clean, great sizes for 2 people but 3 per room is a bit tight Bathrooms are brand new and look fantastic, shootout to the shower with was amazing! (Essential for any holiday) Food was good, however it would have been nice to have a fresh on the grill section as many other hotels seem to have. Pool was a good size (if a little cold) and the open bar was great, plenty drinks on all the time, there is also a snack bar that's open when the restraunt is closed. Really can't complain for the price we paid!

Fee Cox

Perfect location, lovely rooms and cleaned daily. The food was delicious with a great selection.. the animation team were really nice and made sure all the residents were having fun and involved in the daily activities. It's not really a place for children, but does cater for kids club in a small area.

Josh

The hotel is a nice hotel, that consistenly outputs the same quality. It is nothing fancy and wild, but it is not cheap and dirty either. I would dare say it is both money well spent and a pleasant experience. The food is what you would expect from the price you pay, it has some variety, with certain dishes being switched daily, but they also have a lot of stables. Good for picky eaters and adventurous people. The rooms are decent, and cleaned daily by a very nice staff. The bar for all inclusive is also decent, you can get drunk if you want, and they give access to cold water, so you can fill a bottle going on a trip or drinking in your room. The water from the bathroom in my hotel room was also drinkable though a little chlorine tasting. The pool is also big and well maintained. TLDR: - Overall very decent - Decent food - Decent rooms (few outlets) - Decent pool - Decent bar - Nice staff

Kay Clark

Excellent Hotel. Location is right in between both Benalmádena and Torremolinos. The Hotel is very Clean with reasonable size rooms and small balcony. There was a large pool with a separate Children's pool. Plenty of sun loungers and with umbrellas too. Entertainment staff always gave 100%. Can not comment on the children's club as we didn't use this. I would recommend joining in the activities around the pool and hotel as they were great fun. You get the chance to win bottles of Champagne! The staff were very friendly and always service with a smile. The kitchen staff were always very helpful in making sure I was told food that was Gluten Free. There was always plenty of food options that I was able to have that was Gluten Free unlike most all- inclusive hotels I have been in the past. Its about a 20 min walk to the Benalmádena/Arroyo De La Miel Train station through a lovely Park. 5 min walk to the beach and a little further to the Port which is very pretty.

Wayne Launders

Room was very spacious. The meals in restaurant were all excellent. The entertainment team worked hard and were very enthusiastic in putting on fun games and competitions throughout the day and evening

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 ☀️

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

Frank Harley

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.

Jack K

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.

Hashim Peracha

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.

Annisa Arifin

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.

James Hallworth

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!

Karmen Low

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.

Dennis Hohne

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.

June Cape

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.

Darren Cope

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.

Peter Moore

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.
