From arriving late due to delay at airport Nobody on reception. We shouted for service and a scruffy man came out stinking of smoke. He had an infection in his nose and we could see the infected bubble just hanging. That put me off straight away. He threw the bands on the desk and said DOOR. we took ourselves in the lift. The room was very clean and tidy and the cleaning staff made sure it stayed that way. The lifts are appalling and having to wait is the normal. The food was ok very repetitive but you could always find something tasty. The bar was 18 deep sometimes 22 waiting to be served. The entertainment area bar was very good and friendly staff kept it moving with no problems. We have been to this Hotel at least 3 times over the years and this will be the last. It’s certainly Gone downhill and so has the clientele.

👍The room was lovely, big, comfortable and quiet. Lovely drinks...very generous.... friendly bar staff. Pool and roof area lovely...great views....warm pool...lots of sunbeds. Great location 😞 Food awful......breakfast was the best...well cooked great variety....the meat was burnt on the outside and pink in the middle...prawns were not right......cold pasta....chewy rice....we were all inclusive but went out to a lovely tapas place every night. Restaurant staff not particularly friendly. Slowest lifts ever...ended up carrying luggage to 4th floor...could wait 5 mins for lift and it never arrived.....we could take stairs but not great if you have physical difficulties or a pram

Cliff Charlton

To be honest and I don't like leaving negative reviews but this hotel is a bit of a dive. The lifts barely work, room wasn't very clean. The food isn't up to much . The location was the only positive. Hotel not really suitable for people with limited mobility. We waited 1hour for a lift . I won't be in a hurry to use it again .

Mac Notts

Terrible, went here for 10 nights in late Sep 25. Facilities are rubbish no outside lounge or pool area, a few tables at the front next to the busy main road if you can get one not enough for number of rooms. Staff for the most part are dismissive verging on rude. The lifts are a joke if you need one you have an average of 10 mins wait. The first night we had a power cut in our room, couldn't unpack. On two days there was not water until mid afternoon, no advanced warning. I could go on but you get the picture. I'm normally a bit forgiving with reviews but no here our worst experience ever.

We recently stayed for 9 nights at Hotel Magic Cristal Park with an all-inclusive package. Our initial room had no phone signal, no view, and no hair dryer. However, after speaking with the manager on the second day, she was incredibly kind and responsive. While we had lunch, she resolved everything within 20 minutes and moved us to a much nicer room that had all we needed. She also explained that the hotel is undergoing renovations, improving room by room. Some may find the style old-fashioned, but that’s part of the hotel's charm—they’re preserving its classic look while upgrading the facilities. The food was absolutely amazing—many compliments and blessings to the chefs! Great variety, delicious flavors, and consistent quality throughout our stay. The rooms were very clean, and we highly recommend tipping the hardworking housekeeping staff. If you've ever worked in a hotel, you’ll know how tough their job is—they truly deserve recognition. The location is also a big plus: just two streets away from the beach, making it very convenient. Right below the hotel, there’s a mini-market where you can find pretty much anything you need, and the prices are very fair. Overall, we had a lovely experience and would definitely recommend Hotel Magic Cristal Park to anyone looking for a cozy, all-inclusive stay in Benidorm with great service.

Ok it's 3 star and please remeber that. It is not the solana. It's busy. The staff can be rude. But considering how the tourist treat them im not surprised. Food is average bit samey but fresh and plentiful. The pool All inclusive food area was really good and where we got most of our lunches from. Love the eco side of the hotel. Ribbon bands and a coin system from the pool bars for the reusable cups. Perhaps now need to have water stations to stop the plastic bottles. Rooms where cleaned every day. The walls are paper thin and it does sound like people are at yr door. But they are not. Remember this is Benidorm 30seconds from the Stripe. Entertainment nightly and good wot you would expect to be fair wot I see was people having a drink befor hitting the town. Seen a lot of unfair reviews if you want better then pay the money and go 4 star.

Ellie Woods

I stayed here for 3nights recently and thoroughly enjoyed my stay! The hotel is modern, clean, very large and roomy, easy check in and the rooms were perfect and came with a balcony! The main pool is amazing, it's huge with lots of seating & made to be tropical with palm trees and plants!! The pool is huge with different sections and the pool bar is fast service with plenty of drinks options! The breakfast was 8.30-10.30 worn plenty of seating and lots of breakfast options: English breakfast, pancakes, Salamis and cheese and breads and donuts! 10/10. The location is brilliant!! There is a store next door to the hotel to get drinks and snacks, also next door is an indoor market which sells bags/clothes & baguettes and cakes! A 3minute walk away you are directly on the strip where every bad is a different theme and busy, along with clubs! The beach is very close and can be seen from the balcony around a 5minute walk!! Golden sands and blue water!! I would recommend staying here! 10/10!

Abby Howell

What a fab week! The hotel was super clean. The rooms were comfy, we had bedding changed daily, new towels daily. Everything was perfect. The food was lovely, lots to choose from. There was so much to do throughout the hotel daily, so many activities for adults and children. There was entertainment on every evening which was suitable for all ages. The staff at the kids club were outstanding, they were so attentive and kind. The pool was huge, it was amazing! I highly recommend this hotel and its service.

hani homsi

The hotel is three-star and okay, but I wouldn’t recommend visiting during peak season. It has two buildings, so check which one your room is in. With so many rooms and guests, service suffers, especially cleanliness and food quality. The beach nearby is rocky and not suitable for swimming. The pool is nice, but can feel crowded. For the price, better four- or five-star options are available.

Deiniol Jones

Room wasn't to bad. Went all inclusive. So the pics on the site didn't look like what I had. Even no kettle and stuff. Have to pay extra for those. 5 bulbs in the bathroom only 2 working. I asked for a room with a balcony, I did have a balcony but on top of another roof. Couldn't see the pool. Totally disappointed to be honest. The room I had in dynastic few years back much better and bigger.

David Matchett

I good hotel in a good location. Great value for money and perfect for friends and families. Food is good with fantastic options with excellent clean surroundings. Air conditioning was good with thermostats in your room. The pool was not the biggest but also not the smallest. Which was fine and did the job. Also has a children’s pool and an on site spar. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely go back….

scott guck

We had an amazing two stay at the hotel, Bed, Breakfast and Evening meal. It was a great stay with the rooms being serviced every day, the food was always great with a lovely selection on every day we used the restaurant, while we were there we needed the use of the hotel wheel chair which helped us out amazingly. Thank you to all the staff who made our holiday excellent. Scott

Kirsty B

Great holiday. Staff were nice. Rooms nice and clean, fresh towels and bedding everyday. Entertainment was good. Pool was good although small never really a problem plenty of room for us with our floats. Loved the games around the pool and the aqua dance in the pool. Food was good, each evening is a different selection so some evenings we didn't like the seafood options but out of 7 days there was only 2 evenings where we didn't eat much. Jacket potato's were amazing! Night life good, nice bars that are family friendly with good shows and tributes on. Fab holiday very happy but sad to leave!

Keith Stoker

Very nice Hotel, the service was good, the hotel was very well placed for amenities and night clubs. The food was fantastic, with so many choices and a different theme each day. Sadly we were let down massively, by the hotel entertainment. This is why I only gave 4 stars

Ben Norton

Room felt like it was from the 70s, the chair on the balcony was broken, we were given an outdated room, we saw our friends room and theirs was a lot more updated and was only next door. Food every night was varied and changed every night but honestly tasted awful. Was great for the price but we expected a lot more. The entertainment was very cringe but also funny. Sebastian the bar tender was amazing throughout our stay! I personally wouldn't visit again.

Sheryl Allen

Recently spent a week at this hotel. Rooms were clean and lovely, cleaned daily with fresh towels. Food was great for lunch and dinner, soups were amazing. Breakfast isn’t all that great although the fruit and pastries were lovely. Omelettes cooked on request which was good. Staff all friendly but georgie behind the bar is great and fun. Pool area clean and bar staff were very welcoming and would hand out cocktails throughout the day. We didn’t really see any entertainment but it was late in the season. Had a pleasant stay and would visit again.

Ezra Nadasen

A lovely located hotel. All inclusive option was selected but could certainly benefit for more in room services like tea and coffee and room bar. Crisps were the only snack served at the pool but only between certain times. Food was very good and the choice was good. Staff were friendly. All in all a lovely holiday.

George Jemmeson

Lovely hotel with lovely staff. We stayed for a week and had a great time. The rooms are huge, very clean with comfy beds. Georgi was particularly lovely to us. The pool was a brilliant temperature and the bar made great drinks. Food was also lovely. There was a bit of a queue for drinks in the evening so it would be good to see some more people on the bar at night. Would also like to see umbrellas by the pool and the pool bar open a bit later. A bit of a walk to the beach/ old town so bring comfy shoes. Overall an amazing holiday 😊

Lisa Sadler

Great hotel, slightly away from resort centre and about a five minute walk to beach. Rooms.s were very clean and spacious, only one fault there was not a door between sitting area and bedroom. Very friendly and hardworking staff. Good variety of food always found something to eat that I liked. Big shout out to Georgetta behind the lobby bar. Amazing lady who was always smiling and calm but also would remember what drinks people drank.

Tom h

Firstly had an amazing stay at this hotel the staff were fantastic special mentions for Georgi and James on the pool bar Vincent in the restaurant and The little star Tony seems to be everywhere all at once 👍 and Gilberto. All the staff were constantly busy and helpful you wonder where they get the energy. Sadly out of the control of the staff entertainment was limited noise wise due to council restrictions that have recently come into force for the hotel and overall although the entertainers tried to engage with the customers some/most were just not enjoyable 😕. Some areas of the décor/fixtures/fittings could do with sprucing up. Be prepared to get your steps in or wallet out of you like to venture out as there's very little on the doorstep. I would stay at The flamingo beach resort again purely due to the service, food and lack of children.

Michelle Gardiner

Stayed in Gran Hotel Bali numerous times now and we really enjoy our stay. Hotel is perfect for us. Pool area is lovely, snack bar and ice cream bar available. The area itself is not far from Benidorm Old Town and a few bars & restaurants around the hotel for a quieter night. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds, bathroom and showers are good. We found the service on reception excellent and nothing was a bother for the staff. We tend to eat out on holiday but breakfast is average with a good choice of foods. We will be back again next year.

Victoria Pawowska

Overall experience was very okay. The only reason this hotel counts as a 4 star is because of the spa that you have to pay for and the pools outside. The breakfast is very limited, for such a big hotel I expected much better, but theres just the same things on all of the tables, which gives you an illusion that theres plenty of food. The rooms were okay nothing special, just standard hotel rooms, but having a fridge was nice. We had alot of issues with our booking and even though it wasn't the hotels fault, they still were not very keen on fixing our problem to make our stay nicer. There was no offer of anything complimentary not even a drink, there was instead a "I dont want to deal with the tourists" attitude. Location was good, there are two very good restaurants infront of the hotel and free parking nearby, the hotel is also close to the beach. The wifi was absolutely awful and i had to use my data for the whole stay. The stay itself was okay, but wouldnt stay here again.

Mirela Nicole Nicole

I came back from this hotel one week ago. I was there with my husband celebrating our 10th Mariage Anniversary. We really enjoyed it. The view from our room was just amazing,breathtaking on level 31. The rooms are a bit outdated,but I know they are in full process of refurbishment. We were half board and it was plenty of choice for dinner &breakfast. We didn't use pool area at all,as we fancy more the beach,which is less than 8 min walking. The rooms were cleaned daily and also the hotel itself offers all the toiletries you need. Overall we had an amazing holiday, and we can't wait for next year to come back to this hotel.

alexandra p sz

Check in slow but considering the amount of info that needs to be taken & processed... I had the good luck to be checked in by an outstanding receptionist who made it seem easy but in front of me were people clearly annoyed. Amazing sea view, close to two beaches, outstanding entertainment and kids facilities, great swimming pools. Nice room but pretty small and with a few maintenance issues. Large bathroom with bidet, separate shower & bathtub, toilet nightlight... Good housekeeping. Food very good for lunch & dinner, not impressed with the breakfast though as I had a lot better before. The breakfast coffee and juice are not up to the expected standard & the toasters .. . could be replaced! Their drinks system is weird and inconvenient too but the staff is nice and I've met some amazing professionals . Overall very happy.

Victor N

It was a great place for our vacation. The buildings and views are amazing, rooms a bit dated bit dated but not an issue, breakfast repetitive but with a big selection of food, dinner was great, lots of parking if you don't want your car right in front of the hotel. Overall we had a great vacation, nothing to complain about.

Hannah Lakey

We had a 10 night stay in August and it was one of the best holidays we have been on! Fantastic facilities at the hotel, the night time entertainment was outstanding and there was plenty on during the day too, our daughter absolutely loved it! Rooms cleaned everyday to a great standard, hotel staff extremely helpful and the pools amazing. The hotel is in a great location, not too loud but a close walk to the strip. We loved it so much we have booked again for our anniversary in October

Queen Bee

⚠️ WARNING: Unsafe Hotel – Please Read Before Booking ⚠️ I am sharing my experience so that others can stay safe and avoid going through what I went through at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the experience was awful. The check-in took over 30 minutes, and the room I was given was nothing like the photos online. It was filthy — urine on the bathroom floor, stains on the toilet seat, and bed bugs in the mattress that forced me to seek medical help after the first night. The food was equally unacceptable. Breakfast was cold, tasteless, and unhygienic, with hair found in my meals. Dinner was worse. Despite booking half-board, staff refused to serve food when I arrived late due to shuttle delays. But the biggest issue is safety. I was verbally abused by staff and guests, subjected to racist and sexist comments, and physically intimidated. My belongings were stolen (including a blazer and my phone), and when I asked reception to check CCTV, they refused, mocked me, and insulted me further. I was also harassed in the elevators, where men used racial slurs and broke my phone. When I reported this, staff dismissed me. Even worse, when the police became involved, instead of protecting me, they insulted, assaulted, and humiliated me. I was left with physical injuries and emotional trauma. This hotel is unsafe, especially for women and solo travelers. The pictures online are misleading, the staff are unprofessional and abusive, and the environment is extremely hostile. What should have been a relaxing trip turned into a deeply traumatic experience. 👉 Please, for your own safety and peace of mind, do not book this hotel. It is not what it claims to be, and no one deserves to go through what I experienced here.

Kimberley Ward

Fantastic stay here, beautiful hotel, lovely rooms and friendly staff. 2 adults and 1 child and we had plenty of space. It's in a family friendly area of Benidorm and just a 10 min walk to the beach. The pool is just incredible, never seen one so big and it was also clean. Always managed to find a sunbed despite being in the peak of summer, although this was more tricky around midday. Breakfast buffet was great, plenty of choice and all seemed fresh. The only negatives I can think of are the costs of the mini bar, extortionate prices which no one will pay when Lidl is right outside. Also the wait for the lifts can be long at times. Would definitely return to this hotel in the future

Paul Chris

I stayed at Meliá Benidorm recently and unfortunately, my experience was not up to the standard I expected from this hotel. While the property itself looks impressive, there were several issues that made the stay disappointing. • Room condition: On arrival, we noticed broken glass by the door of our room – not exactly a safe or welcoming first impression. On top of that, our bathroom had a leak which spread into the bedroom area, making the floor constantly wet and causing us to slip several times. This felt unsafe and should have been dealt with properly. • Dining experience: Breakfast times were confusing and poorly communicated. We weren’t told about changes until the day itself, and even the sign displayed the wrong information (listing PM instead of AM). At breakfast, drinks were either cleared away too early or not restocked while people were still eating, which was frustrating. Alcohol was offered at breakfast, yet strangely, dinner included no drinks at all — not even water — meaning you had to pay extra. • Restaurant service: On three separate occasions, we were asked to move tables because the section we sat in “wasn’t in use.” Resetting a table doesn’t take long, so being moved repeatedly felt unnecessary and disruptive. To make matters worse, flies were constantly on the dessert section, and staff didn’t seem to address it, which was very off-putting. Overall, the hotel has potential, but the lack of attention to detail, poor communication, and repeated service issues really let it down. For the price and the brand, I expected a little better.

Elitsa Borisova

This hotel is a must for everyone! Beautiful outside and inside with comfortable rooms, friendly stuff, nice food, THE BEST pool with plenty of loungers and sun shades, green trees, bushes and palms and a nice daily music and show making your stay 100% satisfaction! The pool is also great for people with reduced mobility or small kids with its easy stair free access. The evening show in the yard is absolutely brilliant offering shows for every age for free while you enjoy a drink or food from its bars all the time. It is luxurious, convenient, child friendly and quiet during the night. The receptionists Belén and Marcus are super helpful for whatever you need. I will keep booking this hotel for all my holidays!

I stayed at the AluaSun Resort for a week. Overall, it was a good experience for the price, but there’s definitely room for improvement. The front desk is always busy, and guests often have to queue for quite a while because there isn’t enough staff. On the other hand, the restaurant staff work incredibly hard and deserve recognition for their effort. My room was also always clean, which I appreciated. A big shoutout to Antonio, who went above and beyond to help me with directions and did his best to contact the trip agency after Karin, the manager, gave me the wrong time information. His professionalism really stood out. One serious concern: the lifeguards should sit in a more visible spot. One day, a child was drowning, and I had to jump into the water because the lifeguards, sitting in a hidden corner, didn’t notice. I hope the parents reported this incident to reception. There’s also supposed to be a free shuttle bus, but it didn’t show up on several occasions. Even after two days, the manager still couldn’t explain what happened — her customer service could really use improvement. All in all, the resort offers decent value for money, but with better staffing, clearer communication, and stronger safety awareness, it could be much better.

Kevin Weymouth

Currently staying here. Great hotel. Rooms are very spaceous, slightly outdated but nothing wrong with them. Staff are excellent 👌. Night entrainment is very good. Kids disco is short but very good and the next entertainment doesn't start for 20 to 30mins later. We went half board. Food so far has been very good with different themes every night and plenty options at breakfast. Pool is slightly cold and the kids waterslides aren't really usable because they are not in a pool so hitting hard concrete but kids still enjoyed the pool and the small pool. Location is poor, about 20min walk to the end of termolinos prominade. They do have shuttle bus but we didn't use it yet. Room we had was noisey, facing the entertainment stage and beside a busy road so alot of excess noise, if you put kids to bed early and like to keep the door open etc, you can't. For value for money and overall the hotel is great and worth the stay. I would probable ask for a room facing the front of the hotel to avoid the noise.

Dave Matthews

So the location isn't the most desirable in Torremolinos, BUT... The free shuttle service the hotel lays on softens the blow (a full size air conditioned coach, loads of room), along with the local bus stops for the 110 bus just down the hill from the hotel, and the La Colina train station a short walk away are very useful when used with the green Consortium pre-paid transport card (available at Tabaccos shops). The hotel itself is dated in parts but is kept very clean, room service do a great job on the place, I had a smaller room with double bed for single occupancy, all inclusive. Room was equipped with a small fridge, and I rented a kettle from reception (€10 refundable deposit) so I was able to make a cuppa in the room. Air conditioning worked OK, kept things comfortable, could possibly be a degree or two less in my opinion. Corridor noise, corridors are not carpeted, so can be a little "echoey", but the room doors don't have door closers on them, so I people (and myself) generally close their doors quietly, so I didn't really find that an issue and got some good sleep. Food and drinks, measures of spirits were fantastic, so keep that up guys! Beer's and sodas are on tap for you to dispense at your pleasure (All inclusive only). Food was actually really good, everything was of a decent hot temperature and there was always something on the deck that I could put a meal together with, loved the beef and pork stews, the meat melted in your mouth. Great soups too. Pizza and chips seem to be on every lunch & dinner service along with chicken nuggets for the younger guests. Omelettes cooked fresh to order at the show cooking station were amazing, although they seem to have chips out for breakfast too where as I would have liked to see hash browns, oh well - a couple of days they had some nice pork sausages on the deck, rest of the time it was tinned rubber hot dog pieces. Loads of fresh fruit, yogurts, cereal & milk and amazing pastries, just plenty of choice all round I thought. The Snack bar behind the bar poolside is handy to have, they have a late breakfast option with limited items between 11am and noon, outside of this, hot food offerings can be a bit hit and miss depending on how long they've been sat there for, but there's cold meats and cheese slices, bread, a toaster, yogurts, ice creams, a pancake making machine with amazing chocolate sauce, enough to put something together with if you have to. Entertainment's a little corny but a few large measures of spirits later and it'll help. Evening shows don't start until 21:45 and are generally done by 23:00 I think, so maybe ask for a quiet area, room which faces away from the pool and entertainment area if you prefer early nights. All together it was a decent stay, with what I thought was very acceptable food, and I'd definitely consider staying again if a deal came up!

Kim Bickel

This was our second ever family holiday and what can I say other than it most definitely should be a 5 star hotel not a 4. The staff are incredible Valentina was the most kindest towards my son and may is always feel welcome ans happy she went above and beyond everyday we saw her. Than there was David at the bar and a other guy who unfortunately we didn’t get his name he was Russian however both were amazing always smiling and very helpful. The pools were always clean and the area tidy the hotel was spotless everywhere. We had the junior room which was huge and extremely clean. The food was always amazing too there was different cultures daily which is fantastic and for the picky children there was always chips and chicken nuggets. The front desk staff are always helpful and polite. Great location to so many different things the beach itself was beautiful. We loved it so much we are returning next year for a longer stay.

Chloe Wilkinson

Rooms was clean and tidy could not say a bad word about them. The maids were amazing came in every day and changed bed and changed towels/toilet paper. The staff was so helpful any problems or any questions they would solve it straight away. The food was okay just your normal expected food for the money you paid for the holiday. A new theme was every night in the restaurant so they changed the food every night I had a really good holiday would recommend it and come back again xx

Gabriel Leal

Common areas are well maintained, decorations are really nice. However the rooms lack in comfort and cleanliness. The rooms are outdated in riwo section at least and smell like old. The beach beach club facilities are nice and well maintained. Staff are very polite and helpful. Food lacks a lot in quality and taste too, most of the food was processed and had no real flavour to it.

Sharon Epps

Avoid! No way should this be marketed as 4 Star Hotel. No luggage porters, no room service. Rude and unhelpful reception staff! Loud music plus games and competitions from 10 am to 10 pm daily round the pool. Food average but a decent choice. Restaurant staff were excellent, however the Maitre D was unwelcoming and rude. . The water park is a dreadful treck over a motorway-style bridge. All in all more like a holiday camp than a 4 Star hotel.

Selena Marquezon

I went to this hotel’s spa expecting something at least decent… and left wishing I had never set foot in there. The changing rooms were literally flooded with water, as if they had decided to install a swimming pool in the middle of them. Slippery floors, soaked towels… an absolute mess. The “masseuse” who attended me was cold and even disrespectful, as if she couldn’t care less about the job. She didn’t speak any language properly (not even the basics to deal with customers) and, from the impression I got, I’m pretty sure she doesn’t even work for the hotel. I suspect she’s an external hire, which might explain why the service is so awful and completely lacking any sense of hospitality. A spa should be a place for relaxation and well-being, but this one was uncomfortable, chaotic, and disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it even if it was free.

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.

Evaldas Šemelis

Perfect for short vacation. Value for money. food is good. Business is built on aditional purchases. Safe 3.6 Eur/day, miniclub 6eur/hour, spa/pool 16 eur/hour.

Kirsten Van Der Linden

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Palmasol. The location is perfect, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. What really made our experience extra special was the amazing service from Carmen at the reception. From the moment we arrived, Carmen greeted us with a big smile and genuine kindness. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Her professionalism and warmth made us feel truly welcome and well taken care of. Thank you, Carmen, for making our stay so memorable – you are a real asset to the hotel! We’ll definitely be back.

Gillian Raeside

We stayed at this hotel last year and are due to return in August - can’t wait. The staff were exceptional. The rooms were immaculate. We were Bed and Breakfast and breakfast was excellent. Huge choice and all very fresh.Yes you queue for pool but it’s not a big deal. The hotel is a few minutes walk from Marina so perfect location. Looking forward to our visit this year.

O. Al Othman

The location of the hotel is good and the swimming pool is fine. Unfortunately, the hotel has no parking facilities, which is a big problem in this area. However, this is still not as bad as the quality of the breakfast: the food is terribly bad, and the cutlery and plates are very dirty. Every morning, I had to clean the cutlery, plates, and glasses myself. In addition, for the first time in my life, I saw that the safe in the room could only be used for an extra fee. I have never experienced anything like this before. I will also mention all of this in my review on Booking.com.

James Twigg

This is a small hotel offering a limited all-inclusive option. It is classed as a 4 star hotel but don’t think you are getting the same services as a large 4 star resort hotel. It is not that. So long as you know that when you are booking, you will probably be happy. Pros • Clean hotel. • Lovely large family room with 2 AC units. • Buffet food quality is good with some variety. • Small but nice pool • Small gym • Enforced removal of towels from unused sun loungers (30 mins). Cons • 11am > 11pm all inclusive. If you want a drink, even water late at night, you are on your own. • All inclusive offering is a small sub set of the menu, smaller burgers, a couple of drinks etc. • We had an issue with grumpy house keeping and a general lack of smiles by waiters. • Limited entertainment at 9:30 each night. During our stay one of the nights just didn’t happen without any explanation. • You have to pay for the safe, I have never come across this before. We locked everything in our cases. • No iron in the room, you have to pay for your clothes to be taken away and brought back to you. We bought an Iron ourselves. That was not very 4 star! In summary, I wouldn’t recommend this as an all-inclusive hotel, but as half board or B&B it probably makes sense. I'd actually recommend that they drop that offering, it makes much more sense as a place to stay on a B&B or half board basis. There are lots of places to eat and drink locally, plenty of options in the hotel (so long as your are paying) and our room was great.

Sanne Van nistelrooy

- Rooms are clean and nothing is dirty, breakfast has a lot of choice for everyone, but I think it's late that you can only have breakfast from 8:00. If you go somewhere on time then you can't have breakfast and you get a bag with some dry bread etc. If they are smart they will serve breakfast at 7:00. But for the rest everything was good

REBECCA ATTREE

This was mine and my daughters first holiday and what a disaster! Day 3 my daughter was really sick constantly and diarrhoea. Soon to realise she wasnt the only 1 who was sick and missed 4 days of her holiday being stuck in the room. We ended up having to get a doctor out because she wasnt getting better and her temperaturewas high. They injected her with antibiotics, anti sickness etc which cost alot but I needed her better before we flew back and it did help. However now iam suffering too. Food was always cold, just an awful experience as well as other guests who were in bed ill. Not sure how or what caused it but very obvious something was happening there. Positive notes... pool was clean, weather was lovely and I liked the entertainment staff which we met the first 3 days of our stay until it all went wrong. Cleaners couldnt speak much English but they were kind and helped me clean the room when my daughter was sick. I personally wouldnt return and put off going on holiday for a long time altogether.

Globales Gardenia Hotel made a good impression. The rooms are a bit dated, but everything is clean and neatly painted. The grounds are nice, with a pool and separate sun loungers on the grass with canopies. Almost all rooms have a sea view; we booked a room without a sea view, but ours overlooked the sea and the pool. The food is generally tasty, sometimes offering plenty of seafood, though the desserts are very sweet. Good sound insulation, and the air conditioning works quietly. The beach is just a 3-minute walk. There are also several palm trees with parrots, which was interesting to watch. For the price — 10/10, highly recommend.

Rooms too basic - lack fridge, kettles and hair dryers. Comfortable enought excellent bathroom sea view from all balconies. Food lacks variety but is replenished quickly - soups from a packet, meat balls too often and roast turkey looks like gammon. Staff however are fantastic, especially in the Victoria Lounge - entertainment staff absolutely brilliant. That said we've been before and not sure we'd come back - lags behind Globales Cala'n Blanes.

Staying at this hotel was such a positive experience. We were very surprised to learn that they have gluten free menu to choose from the day before every meal. The waiting time was a bit long, but still, that was such a relief. I was very pleased to learn they are very accommodating to people on wheelchairs, also a big plus. The whole staff was very polite, the attractions at the hotel were regular and diverse and we loved our stay there. The rooms might need some kind of renovation soon, but it didn't bother us much.

Positives, Clean hotel, rooms are clean. Good location. Has some lifts as 10 floors. B&B would be the best board option here ideally, then dine out. Plenty of supermarkets near by for drinks and snacks. Down sides are. No fridge in room, no kettle or hair dryer. Safe you have to pay extra for. Food is poor. Staff take a while to clear plates away and lay up for more people. Slow rotation and gets busy! Choice of food is limited and generally poor. Pool is small, crowded, misty and area around is packed in with people.

You get what you pay for—while the price is reasonable, it comes with some trade-offs. The hotel is quite dated and would benefit from some maintenance and facility upgrades. Superior rooms lack natural light, and the windows can't be opened, which leads to stuffy, humid air. If you're a light sleeper, be aware that the air conditioning is quite noisy. Earplugs are a good idea The swimming pool is nice, but there’s no shade, so be prepared for direct sun exposure—bring sunscreen.

Decent stay for one night. Staff was really nice, but overall cleanliness could have been better. The room was very dark and not as clean as I would’ve liked. WiFi on the 3rd floor was slow on my laptop. The gym was just okay, though the pool was nice. For a short stay of one or two nights it’s fine, but I wouldn’t stay longer than that.

Pros: about 30 minutes from airport. Decent and caring staff. Good and prompt room service. Cons: cockroaches in washroom. Cleanliness can be improved. Breakfast was acceptable. Again emphasis on cleanliness . Overall fair and reasonable experience with kids for 2 nights in a budget friendly range

2 Rooftop swimming pools are very perfect. Nice city view, warm water shower with soap and beach towel. Staffs are professional and well mannered. Room is great and well designed. But superior room has no view or wall view. If you like view, you have to book delux room.

The room was on the smaller side, and the staff could have been more attentive and friendly. Breakfast was fairly average, though the egg station was a standout. The hotel is located on a busy main road, which makes crossing or walking to nearby spots quite difficult. That said, considering the price, it’s not the worst option available if looking to chill out near the airport for a couple of days.

Judith Butt

Hotel very clean and rooms spacious. Bed and breakfast only but breakfast plentiful and freshly cooked omelettes were lovely. Huge downside that despite reassurances from the hotel on previous reviews myself and my friend both went down with D&V after two days at the hotel. This meant we lost 3 days of our holiday as not well enough to go out or eat. Also struggled with journey home as still unwell. Not sure what the issue is (don't think food poisoning )but it needs looking into - we were not the only ones who were ill. Such a shame as otherwise a lovely place to stay.

An enjoyable 7 night stay had by me and my Partner. We had a great Sea View from our Balcony, were you could sit and watch the world go by first thing in the morning and last thing at night The Hotel and our Room was clean and the Bar Staff were friendly. It was however disappointing that all inclusive drinks were only served until 11:30pm each night (Thought an extra hour would have been worthwhile). Thankfully (after reading previous reviews) we did not have any problems with the food (with no sickness or feeling unwell throughout our stay) and found there was a good selection to choose from for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Charley Martin

Nice place, had to wait 2/3 hours to check in though which was annoying to say the least with a 1 year old. Room could have been a bit better equipped knowing we had a baby but it was ok. Lovely and clean- the cleaning staff were actually very very good, good facilities, bar area staff were either lovely or awful so that was a bit hit and miss. Overall a nice comfortable safe place to stay.

Four out of our group of five fell ill during the stay. Must have a serious problem in the kitchen. The hotel needs a major refurb as very dated and in poor condition but in the meantime someone should look at fixing minor, inexpensive aspects. The pool area needs some TLC. The bar area is like a canteen, with bad lighting; the curtain on the stage hangs badly. They also assume that everyone is deaf with music blasting and nowhere to have a bit of peace. The water in the smaller pool was cloudy the day we arrived and put us off so we didn't use it at all. The other pool, also small, is far from inviting. In the evening screens are erected around the pools and the area looks derelict. The lifts are a joke, be prepared to wait. The only thing we enjoyed was the sea view. Also, on our last day they changed the opening times for the restaurant without notice. I'm afraid that I can't recommend this hotel and I would not stay again.

This hotel offers stunning views, friendly staff, all inclusive (until 23:30), barely functioning air conditioning, one plug socket per room, and lifts that would operate better if they were hand cranked. My now-husband and I arrived on 18 Jun 25 for our wedding and were immediately overcome with the views. They are stunning. The reception staff who checked us in were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms We had a large room that was mostly ok, but the toilet wasn’t affixed to the floor properly and the air conditioning was not powerful enough to reach the whole room. There was only one plug socket available for use in the room which is very frustrating nowadays. If you do decide to book here, you’re better off booking smaller rooms as the air conditioning works decent enough for the smaller rooms. The food Having looked at previous reviews prior to arriving, I was trepidatious about the food (especially being all inclusive). The food is standard hotel fare. Nothing special. I had the added benefit of knowing a lot of people staying in a few different hotels in the area and it’s very clear that the sickness was not limited to this hotel and not everyone who was with us at this hotel got sick. The pool The pool area was grand and well maintained. Keep in mind to wear flip flops/sliders as it does get slippery. No inflatables are allowed at the pool. The entertainment Nightly entertainment was popular, we were just too busy to engage with it most nights. The staff The reception/pool/bar/restaurant staff are phenomenal. Can’t fault them. The lifts/elevators When we arrived one of the lifts was stuck on the bottom floor with the door open. Not a great start. Unfortunately, not long after checking in, I got stuck in one of the lifts for twenty minutes. The emergency call button worked to call reception, but they couldn’t hear me. Thankfully I had enough signal on my phone to call my dad who helped me to get out. The staff at reception offered me spa vouchers for the inconvenience which I was told I could use for anything the spa offered (including the VIP loungers). As this was our wedding week, we didn’t have the time to use them until the Monday, but when we went down to use them we were told we couldn’t as the spa had been drained until Wednesday. We asked to use them for the VIP loungers, but were told we couldn’t. We paid the €18 to use them as we had already had it planned that we would. Since we were checking out on the Wednesday, we wouldn’t be able to use them. We queried this with reception, and, after a lot of back and forth, we did get the money back but we shouldn’t have had to fight for it.

One of the better holidays I’ve been on! The entertainment was great and ran throughout the day, the buffet had plenty of choice, and the staff in both the buffet and bars were so friendly and welcoming. There are lots of places to relax, plenty of sun loungers, and the sea and beaches are right outside. Shops and bars are nearby too. The view of the sunrises and sunsets are amazing too. The only small thing I’d mention that impacted the rating a little is that the beds could have be a bit more comfier, but aside from that I would happily come back.

We stayed at the hotel to attend a truly memorable event. The ocean views were absolutely breathtaking and simply one of the highlights of the hotel. You could see the ocean from a variety of spots within the property and it took my breath away! The hotel is approximately a 25-minute walk to the Marina, which offers a variety of restaurants and shops. We felt safe enough to walk; even during the night. There were local attractions in the area as well. Fortunately, there are also several dining options, grocery stores, and a pharmacy within close proximity. Ubers are present in the area, and taxi services are readily available. We chose the inclusive package, which allowed us to enjoy meals at the poolside, the casino, or the main dining area. There are lots of options for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. The dining staff eagerly welcomed everyone and were knowledgeable about ingredients which was helpful to our party who had allergy and food restrictions. Personally, I preferred relaxing in the jacuzzi and baths rather than the pool itself, which allowed me to make the most of those amenities. There’s a spa area as well! But with that being said, there was pools for younger children and older kids and a separate one for the adults which was nice. For guests seeking a quieter environment, there was a lovely outdoor patio area that was perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The hotel also hosts events in the main lobby on certain days, which can be quite lively. During those times, I appreciated being able to unwind on the outdoor patio instead. The rooms are spacious and comfortable; however, they are not soundproof, so sounds from upstairs and downstairs from can sometimes be heard. For those who prefer cooler temperatures, we found the room to be a bit warmer than ideal. Although the air conditioning was operational, it didn't seem to cool the room as much as we would have liked, and adjusting the thermostat did not help as such. The staff at the hotel were friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed my vacation at the hotel.

Richard Loy

We had a wonderful stay. The room was fantastic views amazing and the food selection was lovely. We went all inclusive and found it to be worth every cent. There is areas for family's where parents and kids can enjoy the sun and activities and an adult only area. We with no young children spent most of the time in the adult section, where we could enjoy a child free environment. Both sections have plenty of loungers and even though there were queues for both sections there were always spots available after opening of the pool areas. Breakfast, lunch and dinner saw a wide variety of food which would please even the most fussy eaters. The food was a mix of local and Irish/English cuisine. If there was any downside to the stay it was the AC (or lack thereof), even on its lowest setting it wasn't enough to keep the room cool. It was cooler than outside, but sometimes you need real coolness. We went at the end of May temperatures reached about 29 degrees, I can only imagine how warm the rooms would be in July or August. Staff were wonderful, friendly and all very helpful. We have booked back in for next year.

Steven Fry

I really loved both pools they had! Plus the lunch bar next to the pool. All the bars were awesome! Very polite people! The buffet was tremendous! Lots of food everyday! For all three meals! All inclusive is the way to go!!

julie gibson

Absolutely love staying at this hotel! First & foremost must be the staff. Everyone in every department go to extremes to make your stay the best. Food & drinks were tasty & enjoyable! Only slight was a smell that was really noticeable in floor zero particularly around reception & bar area. But it won’t stop us staying again

Geo Edward Zayas

We had a good stay in the Hotel. Readily accessible to the beach and beach view room, breakfast is also a good deal. The service by Yuri is top notch! Helped us twice with how to go to Montserrat and early Bus to the airport.he really handed us a copy and write down where to go and what to do. Thank you Yuri your awesome 😎

Kandiah Koneswaran

The hotel offers reasonable value for the price. While the rooms are somewhat outdated and would benefit from renovation, they are kept clean and well-maintained. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which enhances the overall experience. The buffet selection is limited, but the dishes available are well-prepared and flavourful.It is definitely not a 4 star hotel. There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. I am not sure to recommend to anyone.

Andrijana Janevska

The hotel is in an ideal location, right on a large sandy beach—you don’t need to cross the street or the railway. There are two pools, one of which is for children. Throughout the day, there are various activities and games, and the animation team—both the girls and guys—are great. The staff is very friendly, and the hotel is always clean. The rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day—special compliments to the cleaning lady with the blond hair on the 5th floor. The food is truly outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious dishes every day, and the chefs and waiters are exceptionally kind. In the evenings, there is live music in the restaurant overlooking the sea. It’s not too loud and ends at a reasonable time. Every room has a balcony. The only things that could be improved are the slightly outdated furniture and the elevators, which are often busy and occasionally get stuck.

Jue Clifton

This hotel is in a good location, very easy access to Beach and local bars & Shops. The hotel and rooms are clean but a bit dated in places. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Breakfast buffet is good, wide range of food, there's something for everyone. I was a little disappointed that there was no tea/coffee facilities in the room, I do enjoy a coffee or too as soon as I wake up! There is storage for cases/bags if your return flight is late at a charge of 2 euros. Shower was hot which was nice. Enjoyed our stay.

Rune Bjørnøy

We had all inclusive. The food was really simple, but you will survive. The hotel is not refurbished the last 20 years I think.
