Plusside: Large hotel Serviceminded staff Nice poolarea Close to busstop Minusside: Wi-fi, theres not one area thats free of charge. The charge extra for using the in door swimmingpool.

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.

Good hotel with lots going on nearby food was ok always something you liked/could have etc.

Nice place.but food not that nice

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.

Nice hotel, great kid themed room, plenty of amenities for the little ones

food repetitive,childrens food was beef burger or hotdog with chips for lunch and dinner every day for a week.chef needs more variety

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.

All was very good with exception of the last day when we were expected to check out at 12 and had to stay at the reception till 1500hours. We had been earlier on promised to be given a courtesy room after checking out that early as our flight was due to leave late evening

The only thing we liked about this hotel was was 1 barman and 1 waitress. Would not reccomend unless you want a very low cost holiday.

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.

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

Poor quality of food, no variation and very little choice. New Years dinner was a disaster. Overworked and understaffed,felt sorry for the staff. Clean rooms.

We have just been for a family holiday after previously staying at the Polynesia and we were extremely let down the rooms are spacious well equipped and clean but that is where it ends. The hotel has a big function room for entertainment which it only used on a Friday and Saturday night all other nights the children were dancing with the entertainment staff at the bar not sure if this was a ploy to stop adults getting to the bar but definitely no bar to have a quiet drink. There was no entertainment we had to go to Polynesia to watch their entertainment and pay for all our drinks. The health spar was included but you had to buy a 3 euro hat and pay to use the sauna and steam room. The food was very bland and we had to wait for the Buffett to be refilled as not enough staff to cope. There was no choice of which bar to use as the manager decided if he would open the pool bar or not and you had to walk upstairs when you wanted a drink or food and because the pool bar was closed no music by the pool. I definitely will not be returning.

plenty off choice at meal times.staff were fantastic.the wife had her phone stolen at a bar in the marina.when we got back to the hotel we told the lady on the reception , she went that extra bit to help and sought things out for us when really she didn't have to..i think she should be awarded something .to be honest all the staff were great as well . .

We had stayed 5 days with 2 kids. Really enjoyed our stay. Food was good. Mid after noon snacks & drinks were good as well. Value for money.

The hotel, room, facilities, staff and most of all food was exceptional and well accommodated for families with children.

really nice place, the beach club was fantastic. and the food was excelent , just didnt like having to que up for drinks in the piano bar.

Booked with Expedia for the Holiday Palace, but this hotel had shut down for the off season and all guest got moved to the newer hotel across the street in the same complex - Holiday Polyanian. Like an upgrade - same benefits but more modern newly build building. Same resort complex. End of season, so not as crowded which was nice, but only the sun heats the pools and so the water was a little cold at the end of October. But still a very nice sunny trip. Very enjoyable. Only down fail was that Holiday World was at the top of a hill and the shuttle bus only ran the hours of the water park. Due to end of season limited hours... to catch day tours you had to venture down the hill on foot early am and not usually back from day tour till after the 6pm bus stoped travelling up the hill.
