Enjoyable stay at HW Polynesia. The hotel is nice but starting to get somewhat dated. The pool area very nice, and the water park (not at the hotel but close by - free shuttle bus takes you to pedestrian bridge to access the water park but you can also walk there in approx 10min). Quality of the food varied at the buffet restaurant but the breakfast was usually really good. The focus on candy and sweets at the restaurant a bit overwhelming, though.
All in all a pleasant stay and we enjoyed our time at the hotel. If we were to visit again I think we would opt for the HW Village.

It took over 20 minutes to check
In, we weren’t allowed to upgrade to all inclusive, my credit card details were written on a piece of paper (terrible security risk) and we were charged a fortune for a paper cup of beer which was only 3/4 full (fine if you’re all inclusive and can refill but paying resort prices should be a glass and a full drink!) the property is also in need of some upgrades/renovations.

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.

Disappointing experience.
In End of February - Outdoor pool and holiday village are closed.
If we have to use indoor pool, we need to pay ! (20€ per person for an hour !)
Usage of games is also paid activity .
Halfboard or fullboard is not inclusive of drinks (no juice or soda) .
Basically, we just had to content with a reasonably ok room , (pretty spacious , good beds, awesome views from balcony) . Rest everything .... just Meh .
And these details i mentioned are not mentioned while booking via Hotels.com .....

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.
