It is our great pleasure to share our highly positive review of our stay at Palia Las Palomas Hotel in Spain. We spent two wonderful weeks here and wholeheartedly recommend this place. Right from the start, we appreciated the spacious rooms and the tastefully and modernly decorated, lovely bathrooms. The cleanliness of the hotel is top-notch. We want to extend our immense gratitude to the housekeeping ladies who took care of our room every day with exceptional precision and diligence. Their daily, hard work deserves the highest praise. The hotel is fully adapted for disabled guests, which is commendable and demonstrates care for every visitor. This high standard of accessibility mirrors the general approach found throughout Spain.
The kitchen at Palia Las Palomas did a phenomenal job! This is the first hotel we have visited where the food did not bore us after more than 14 days of stay. New, diverse dishes were served daily; everything was fresh, fragrant, perfect in taste, and very aesthetically presented. Everyone, regardless of their preferences, could find something delicious.
The true strength of this hotel is its people. The entire staff deserves a resounding round of applause. The ladies and gentlemen at the reception, the security guards, as well as the waitresses and waiters, who worked tirelessly from morning till evening – always with professionalism and a warm smile on their faces. Your contribution to our satisfaction was invaluable.
The animators were an absolute hit. They entertained all guests from morning till evening, creating an incredible atmosphere. Daily games, water aerobics, yoga, and many other activities ensured no one was bored. Their commitment was extraordinary – they could sit down with anyone, chat, laugh, and even after the animations had finished, they often stayed longer to talk with the hotel guests. They were simply wonderful.
We also extend our thanks to all the external artists – dancers, illusionists, singers – who graced the evenings, providing top-tier entertainment.
The free and stable Wi-Fi access throughout the hotel is a major plus. Dear employees of Palia Las Palomas Hotel, you are the ones who create this wonderful atmosphere and brilliant vibe – without you, this hotel would not be the same. Thank you for our wonderful vacation, the immense laughter, all the conversations, and above all, for all the dedication to your work. You are simply amazing.
Warm regards to you all,
Damian and Marcin (Room 722)♥️

We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights, and I must say I didn’t spend too much time choosing a hotel — but I definitely hit the jackpot! I have never eaten such delicious food in my life, and I’m quite picky when it comes to food. The variety was incredible, something new and tasty every day — truly exceptional!
The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was modern and pleasant. Maybe the soundproofing could be better, and the air conditioner filters needed a bit of cleaning, but honestly, all of that is completely outweighed by the amazing food and the friendly, welcoming staff.
There were plenty of fun activities around the pool, and the whole atmosphere was just perfect.
Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay ! 💙💛

My partner and I booked this hotel on the last Friday, and travelled out on the Saturday (from Bristol) for 5 days on spec. We didn't do much research, and to be honest, the reviews were something of a mixed bag.
What we found was a hotel that was very well situated. A short walk to the sea front, or a 12 minute walk to Torremolinos town itself. We were sort of expecting the typical 'Brits abroad' type of resort (boozy, bad behaviour and every other cafe being a greasy spoon). Nothing could have been further from the truth - Torremolinos has lots of excellent (and very often bespoke) shops/cafes and restaurants - the quality of food and drink is exceptionally high as a everyone tries to outdoo each other - our fave bar was 'The Clock Tower' - and anyone new to the resort would do well to aim for that as it is very central - and presents an amazing view from the rooftop terrace.
As to the Hotel Palia Las Palomas itself. The staff were friendly and on hand, room service was adequate, and the food was largely speaking better than you would typically expect from a 3.5 (Jet2 grade) hotel. The pool area was really great - sociable, not to squashed in wherever you were with sunbeds, and the pool was plenty warm enough. Without doubt though, the Entertainment Team pushed this (for us) over the edge from a 4 Star Review, to 5 Star. They were absolutely fantastic - and for the last 2 nights provided us with some top class entertainment shows that blew anything we had seen before into the weeds. Allied to which, travelling out of school hols as we did, we made some amazing friends in a hotel that seemed to provide it all.
A thoroughly deserved 5/5 from us - we can't wait to visit again!

Stayed here for a week in August. Overall I am very happy with my stay. The staff were nice and helpful. However, it would have been nice if the reception staff had been better at English.
The room was large, bright and fresh. I stayed in a room facing the street and therefore had evening sun. However, the cleaning of the room leaves a lot to be desired as it was worse than the worst. Not the first time this has happened in a hotel in Spain.
Had All Inclusive and this is the best AI I have ever experienced! Great variety both lunch and dinner and every meal there was both meat, fish and poultry as an alternative. The food was fresh and there were hot plates. In addition, there were snacks at the pool bar from 11.30. The service at the pool bar was nice and good in English.
The pool area itself was cozy but way too few sun loungers in relation to the number of guests. The pool area was supposed to open at 10 but opened just before 9 which meant people were queuing as early as 8:30 and then grabbing seats as they left....The system where you got rid of your seat after 30 minutes didn't work very well.
The entertainment team were nice and easy going but the evening entertainment was quite tiring.
Overall I'm still happy with my stay and recommend the hotel.

The personal was arrogant when we arrived. Didn’t get any info on breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or any help with the luggage. Just pointed in the direction our room was in.
Room 1.
The hotel room was dirty, no shower supplies such as soap or hair wash. (As in any 4-star hotel) broken shower, dirty towels, sewer smell in the bathroom.
Very poorly soundproofed, you can hear the cars outside like when you watch a formula 1 race in the grandstand and the neighbors like a porn movie with surround sound. Or the new AirPods….
A hairdryer sounds like a small jet plane in the hallway when you pass a room.
Then the electrician had fixed the tv cable…. The 230v connector was taped to the cables coming out of the wall with just a thin layer electrical tape (serious hazard)
The balcony door didn’t lock. So I hope you feel safe with wide open doors in a foreign country.
We changed room because of all this.
Room 2.
The new room was much better….. not.
Broken AC, loose floor boards, broken towel hanger in the bathroom. Broken shower in this bathroom as well. Molde in the door lining, broken floor tiles, bacteria growth between the tiles and so on…
They couldn’t fix the ac in 3 days. So we got yet another room.
Room 3.
The ac worked! Success, so I thought…
The drainage was clogged. And I mean really clogged.
Had to work really hard to get it to drain.
Didn’t have the energy to complain, so I fixed it myself.
General areas.
A lot of German and French people smoking by the pool, outside the restaurant and the “bar area” So you basically can’t escape cigarette smoke.
All this may sound like a joke, but I have pictures and videos of it all.
Oh, by the way. The cards for the rooms stops working at least 2-3 times in a week.
I would definitely not call this a 4-star hotel. Maybe a 3-star hostel…
Don’t get fooled by the pictures, photoshop or a good photographer will make wonders.
