Great for families
Lovely hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Apartments spacious, comfortable and clean. Huge beds! We had breakfast and dinner only. Large choice of cooked food, salads, breads, cakes and fruit. Lots of meat! Only disappointment was there was no protein for vegetarians, lots of veg, pasta, salad etc. I spoke with the chef and he said no one has ever mentioned it before and they will try and make something. The next day there was lentils and quinoa. Hopefully in the future they will always provide a vegetarian /vegan option. There was soya milk at breakfast. There is yoga by the pool every morning and other games. Free food to snack on by the bar. Mini disco was fun but quite late at 9.15pm, our 4 year old enjoyed it but he was exhausted by then. Overall we had a great time, not far from the beach about 10 minutes from main entrance after you get the free shuttle bus. Good choice for families. It is the smallest hotel in the resort but we preferred it. (capacity of 600 rather than 1400). and during low season Benalmádena is quieter than other regions of Costa del Sol.

Holiday World Never Fails
Holiday World never fails to impress. Staff are brilliant, services are great and pools to die for. It's a very busy complex and a common problem is car parking which doesn't affect everyone of course, but being in driving distance we always struggle. Riwo is a great hotel but Polynesia would have slight advantage due to bigger variety of food on offer.

We had good service. But just 2 times i felt that two different staff members were rude to us. The other staff members were really fine. And I found out that one of the receptionist doesn’t know much about the area.

I love the big atrium in the middle of the hotel. It reminds me of the embassy suites in the US. The room is an apartment. With a separate kitchen, separate bedroom, separate living room and bathroom. One of the nicest hotels I stayed at. The only thing I did not like was the air conditioning is central to the entire hotel and it was not turned on because it's winter time. The evenings were cool, that was not a problem but the afternoons got warm. but I was staying there during the Corona virus scare and it may be the hotel is planning to shut down. There weren't very many guests.

The property was modern and clean and the room was fantastic. We went in January, there was a lot shut downinsise the hotel, for example the shops, the outside pool, fountains and water features drained and off, to name a few . If you sat by the pool to get back to the only open bar was a trek, up steps through kids play area past outside seating past snooker table.... to be served a coke in a plastic water cup which you could easily finish on journey back. We went all inclusive but the choice was limited to the buffet restaurant and one bar. The food was pretty much the same every night which became boring. Being all inclusive with the bar and the food I would say not worth it. The staff were mostly friendly although service was sometimes slow. We had a packed breakfast for the last morning which was very poor, a bruised apple, orange, bread and a snack 8 days out of date !!

Worse experience ever
Its a complete rip off- i was surprised when i was asked to pay using any activity in hotel even swimming pool was charged 18 euros per person. kids play area was only during morning till 5 pm- time when you are away of hotel. Hotel provide free shuttle bus between 10:00 to 18:00 to take you outside road-outside these hrs be prepared to walk 15 minutes up hill or take a taxi- not good with kids to walk when you are returning tired. Buses from outside the hotel will take you to different locations but be prepared to change buses if you planing to go more distant. no way you can walk to any popular touristic spots from hotel. Beach in front of hotel take 15 minutes walk and is pathetic-don't bother to go. Room was good size but they joined two single beds instead of double bed. beds were noisy and uncomfortable. rooms are not sound proof- we had lot of trouble to sleep as noises from lobby and upper floor and side rooms were immense. floors in room are marbled means if you move a chair will make horrible noises- should be carpeted. cleaning of the room was very nice. Our sofabed was broken reported - fixed next day. If you ready to pay all extra money including taxi fare than go ahead otherwise choose hotels closer to marina in benalmadina or malaga town as there is not much to do in benalmadina as compared to malaga itself. you have to pay for wifi- luckily we had our UK data to use in Spain. Reception staff was very helpful.

Great facilities and family friendly
After visiting Holiday Palace last year, the facilities and bonuses of being a repeat visitor made our holiday even better. The cleaning of the suites had certainly improved being daily and the only slight down side was that much of the outside entertainment enjoyed the previous year remained the same. Overall a fabulous holiday, perfect for children, a great location and I would definitely return.

Mixed feelings
I have mixed feelings about this stay. Let me just start by saying that though we got the best out of our holiday, we would not return to Holiday Palace. So, the location is in Benalmadena but closer to the Fuengirola side, away from all the "action". Our ride from the hotel (34 Euro for 5 people) took us through some really nice areas so we were excited until we realized that Holiday hotels are pretty secluded. No shops, restaurants, nothing really outside of the hotel unless you are ready to walk (or take the bus) about 30 minutes to Fuengirola. The hotel itself was fine, the staff was trying to be helpful but had their limitations. The rooms were clean, so were the common areas, however, playground was dangerous (uneven surfaces, we had to witness a kid fall on his face after tripping), the minigolf is a joke (torn, broken, uneven, etc.). The hotel pool was nice though it got pretty crowded by the afternoon which also reflected in the cleanliness of the water. If you pick this hotel, go there for the Beach Club not the beach itself as the hotel has no private beach, and the access you have to it takes you to a rocky beach area. There are much nicer beaches if you don't mind the hike towards Fuengirola. The hotel shuttle takes you up and down the hill between 10-18.00, the opening hours of the waterpark, if you come after that, you will have to walk up a steep hill. I could go on but there is no more space here. Beach club good for kids taller than 120 cms or up to 3 yrs.

Spacious with less facilities
We went as a family of four to stay at Holiday palace over the new year of 2017. The front of teh house was welcoming and clean. But there was only one receptionist attending to whole lots of things, this did not help most of the time as he or she had to deal with newcomers and other queries from the people staying in the hotel. We had booked junior suite which was spacious and clean. There was a small kitchennette with basic facilities. The room was cleaned regularly and the beds were big enough with a nice courtyard but not much of a view in lost of the rooms. The location is ideal if one hires a car as it is midway between Malaga and Marbella and most of the scenic places is an hour drive. The restaurant food seems to be a good spread on day 1 but becomes very boring from day 2 onwards as there was not much variety or theme during rest of the stay. Also couple of families were vegetarians there was not much of a variety even on the new year eve party, which was a great disappointment. The restaurant staff are very hard working and tried accommodate our requests with their best abilities. The facilities like swimming pool and tennis courts were of good standards but as we had booked half board we were charged to use even the pool. This was not clear when we booked the accommodation and I think the website should be explicit. We were charged even for water at the restaurant. Overall the accommodtaion i spacious the location is ideal only if you have a hired car.

Photos tell a lie
Not great fare for vegetarians . We are a bunch of 4 Indian families that goes to a resort every year from UK and have experienced many such beach side resort s in Spain . This be one was good for facilities such as an indoor pool and access to beach . The negatives were very poor food ( we were 1/2 board ) and very little entertainment for the little ones . We forked out 250£ for 31st night and the party and the food was very poor value for money

2/10 Poor

Dated and dirty
Upon arriving we were greeted by a friendly receptionist who went through all the details of our stay. First impression was the hotel looked amazing and clean. The weather wasn't great and I wasn't expecting to pay to use the indoor Poor which was open at ridiculous time of 11am-3pm only. £8 for a 30 min sauna session seemed ridiculous. We were expecting 4 twin beds as sold by e bookers only to be told this actually dosnt exist in the hotel. To the credit of the staff they put in an extra fold up bed in the living room so we ended up with 2 beds a sofa bed and this fold up bed for 4 adults with one child. The room isn't what you expect in a 4 star with everything pretty dirty and dated esp in the kitchen. It was pretty depressing to be in the hotel so we spent most of the day out in the rain. Hotel shop prices expensive even for a bottle of water but the breakfast buffet had a good offering. On the whole staff friendly and pleasant. Rooms need a thorough clean and updates and you shouldn't be paying for use of an indoor pool at a family holiday hotel.
