8/10 Very good

Beautiful hotel with a nice pool. Very child-friendly and all activities minded on kids. Rooms are big and the all-inclusive buffet is reasonably good (such buffets will never be michelin class but they did a fairly good job). Biggest minus for the buffet is poor marking of allergens. With all inclusive there is also access to a very nice waterpark with very nice facilities but water being a bit chilly (they have a toddler friendly section with slightly warmer water though). The hotel is located close to the sea and the beach but otherwise there is not too much to do and see around. There are bus connections to nearest cities though. It is not clear that they have any environmental initiatives or considerations for recycling.

A week spent with a family early April 2024

We traveled with our two children, aged 8 and 2. Despite our second child almost turning 3, the indoor playground had a strict age limit of 3 years old and above. The weather during the first few nights was rainy and cold, and when we asked for entertainment options suitable for a two-year-old, the staff seemed unsure.There was only one large, unheated outdoor pool, which felt freezing cold for this time of year. Additionally, the indoor pool with a spa was not included in the all-inclusive package and required extra payment, but even that water was not very warm.Although the food was okay and the staff were friendly, overall, it was a pleasant but short stay, and we don't plan to return.

Family visit

The overall stay was good but not what we maybe expected when we ordered. What we did not notice when we did the order through Hotels.com was that the hotel was aimed for all inclusive stays. Our family was one of the few families without the all inclusive. Nothing bad about that but we maybe did not expect the normal family noise you get in these kind of hotels. Also tge price of food gets expensive. A lunch for us was 30€/person so we did not eat at the hotel. Hotel is very nice, but it is not located at the sea. From the review when selecting the hotel we could expect much closer. Nowhere it is stated that a train rund between the hotel and the sea. The train is not noisy but it would explain the access to beach differently. Hotel is located quite far from Benalmadena and Fuengirola centres so one will need a car/taxi/bus to visit any of the centres. We had a car all the time and then the location is good. Rooms are ok, but nothing extraordinary. Hotel is VERY big so there is a lot to explore. Very nice lobbies all over. Pool area is ok with lots of sun all day. View from the hotel is really nice. Overall I would summarise the visit as ok, but most likely we would not choose this hotel again. Then because of the location and the all inclusive focus.

Det var faktisk men det saknades några saker som finns inte sopsäckar i badrummet och schampo var väldigt lite som räcker för en dag och de har inte fyllt på när de städar

Sisääntuloaula upea korkea tila vesiputouksineen ja kala-altaineen. Siisti huone, mukavat sängyt. Uima-altaat eivät olleet lämmitettyjä mutta lokakuussa vielä ihan ok lämpötilat. Sisällä lämmitettyjä altaita, joihin erillinen pääsymaksu (ei sis. All Inclusiveen). Ruoka oli monipuolista ja hyvää, mutta esim. aamupala oli joka aamu samanlainen. Mehut ja drinkit todella makeita (liian esanssisia). Uima-allaspyyhkeet sai vaihtaa vain kerran viikon aikana ilmaiseksi. Huoneiden ovet aukesivat all inclusive-rannekkeissa olevalla sirulla (näppärää).

Imponerande hotell som är stort och väldigt rent, allt finns för hela familjen. Mellanstor pool inne på hotellet och ett större poolområde inte så långt ifrån, vilket det går en gratis buss mellan så bara att hoppa på. Man slipper denna hets när det gäller solstolar, visst, kommer man efter 12 kan det vara fullt men efter en stund brukar det lösa sig. Maten på all-inklusive drar ned betyget lite, förmycket friterat.

Our room was spacious for a family of 4 and the main bed was super comfy. However, the sofa bed was awful. The fold-out mattress was super thin you could feel the springs so wouldn't recommend using it, or only for 1 person. It was handy having a kitchenette although having a kettle would've helped! On arrival our air con wasn't working but wihtin the hour, a maintenance member of the team came and fixed it and it worked well for the duration. The shower is really powerful but is fixed directly above your head and there's nowhere else for you to move. There is also a lack of hanging space or shelving in the bathroom - the shelf in the shower was hanging off so all shower items had to sit on the floor, and there was only 1 hook for a towel. Please install more hooks - shelves. Other than that, we had a great time. The food was plentiful and a good variety with a different themed night each night. For the kids I would've expected to see chicken nuggets, but there were only burgers or hot dogs. The pools are spotless and the kids entertainment team did a good job at keeping everyone entertained.

Bad cleaning

The room had filthy floor when we first got in to the room and they never cleaned it during our stay either. When we wanted them to change our towels and put them on the floor we notice that the same towels were hung up again. And that was after we even talked to the cleaners and asked them nicely to change. The other sevices were good and the restaurant staff really lived up to our expectations. We have a glutenintolerant girl and we always got good help with what she could and could not eat.

It’s a very nice resort. The rooms are huge with terrace and sea/pool view from the 4th floor we stated at. Pool is big and there is entertainment going on. The sea is dar to walk to, gym is very small. The area is huge and it’s decorated nicely. There is turtle spot, a bird spot, and the fountains. Food in the buffet restaurant is pretty dissent with variety. Overall great 4 days spent, I would return

Elena, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We recently stayed at the Polynesia Hotel in Malaga and were impressed by several aspects of the experience. The hotel itself is stunning—beautiful architecture, very well maintained, and extremely clean throughout. The rooms are absolutely huge and spotless, providing a really comfortable space to relax in. The main pool is lovely and well-kept, though it's worth noting that the other pools you often see advertised are actually part of the wider complex across several hotels. These are spread out over five buildings and a very hilly area, although a free shuttle bus is available to help guests get around. The food was outstanding—great variety, excellent quality, and well-organised service in the restaurants. However, the entertainment was a major disappointment. For a hotel with 328 rooms, there is only one entertainment room in the evening for all guests. This space is shared by everyone, including families with young children, meaning there's no separate adults-only area if you're looking for a quieter experience. Entertainment consisted mostly of the same singer each night, with some variety acts on the weekend—but only for an hour or so. There was also no kids' club in operation during our stay, which left both children and adults bored in the evenings. Another issue was the complete lack of information in the rooms—no welcome booklet, no guidance on local transport (like bus times), hotel facilities, or entertainment. You’re left to figure everything out for yourself
