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

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

Absolutely stunning hotel. It’s worth noting that some facilities are only open in the summer season. The outdoor pool is open from April onwards and they have a kids’ pool but it’s not well signposted. The indoor pool costs extra as it’s part of the spa but it’s sooooo good. The kids’ club doesn’t allow adults to stay and my 3-year-old didn’t enjoy it for that reason. Older kids will enjoy it.

Très déçu

Formule all inclusive sommaire car 2 restaurants étaient fermé donc uniquement buffet. Les cocktails sont fait a l'avance et beaucoup trop sucré et mal dosés...la chambre est usé par rapport au photos, l'accès à l'aquaparc est super loin et un grosse côte à monter, pas d'accès direct a la plage 1km a faire a pied...le restaurant buffet est bruyant ça crie et ça court vers les buffets dans tous les sens c'est vraiment....horrible...enfin l'environnement est très bétonné peu d'espace vert.
