Holiday World Polynesia

Mooi en groot hotel met ruime kamers met keuken! Een beetje gek dat het binnenzwembad en de kluis extra geld kosten. Grote speelruimte voor kinderen. Goed ontbijt!

Zeer luidruchtig en armoedig hotel. Service reageert niet als gasten feesten tot 04.00 uur. Buffetrestaurant lager gelegen. Service-ontvangst is waardeloos. De junior suite die we geboekt hebben verdient de naam niet. Versleten, je voelt je niet op je gemak in het gigantische hotel, max 3 sterren!

Het eten was niet slecht, erg repetitief en als het de bedden waren, de draden die in de kussens zaten, waren de kussens erg ongemakkelijk. . . Ik hield niet van wat de rest is.

Christmas break with family and friends. Such a big hotel complex so much so it felt cold in the lobby and public areas if not somewhat quirky with waterfall and bird avery. Don't quite know why but was disappointed overall. Staff lovely. Hotel clean rooms nice and views beautiful. Too noisy, too big and yet too small for facilities fir the number of guests. One bar for evening entertainment. Was not good in my view the bar and seating area too busy. The p.a. System sounded awful so singers sounded off! Not that anyone was really listening or could hear above noise of the very many children. No quiet areas to play cards or games. Some guests left a lot to be desired with their drunken inappropriate behaviour.!! But that is not the hotels fault... Restaurant busy. Staff lovely. Food choices good but food more often than not was warm to L luke warm and No hot plates ever. Sometimes lucky as arrived just as some food being topped up. Not enough coffee machines to cope. Disappointed overall.

The hotel when entering gives a sense of granduer and high expectations. Came for a 4 night stay starting on 29th December. One outside pool open but as expected at time of year cold as not heated. There is an outside jacuzzi next to the kid pool and playarea. Asked about the indoor pool and was advised it costs €12 per child and €15 per adult for an hour in the spa and only in the morning no other options available. Snack food was warm burgers hotdogs and nuggets with the usual side of chips or a salad bar of hard boiled eggs lettuce peppers olives and a pasta of some sort. The main restaurant food was good with lots of variety and plenty of local fare to try. The staff were very slick and professional throughout and tried to make every query achievable. The mini golf needs completely replacing as crumbling and ball kept getting stuck inside tunnels and obstacles with exposed re bar on certain holes. The rooms are dated and run down with chipped mirrors loose fittings and limescale encrusted taps etc. The sliding doors don't seal properly and it was noisy and the smell of others smoking on their balconies coming into the room. Beds were decent and got a good sleep once you were able to sleep. All a la carte restaurants were closed just buffet available. On site mini mart is mega expensive. It does have a 3 lane bowling alley for €3 per player for 10 frames and a decent arcade for the kids. Other than that nothing else really to do. It's a fair walk to the beach and nothing in the waterpark area open. It was advertised by jet 2 as a 4* never more than a 3*. Taxi cost 37 euros from airport one way. Its about a 15 min taxi ride into benalemdena or fuengirola to visit nearby attractions. The NYE 6 course meal and party were absolutely brilliant and put scotland to shame for party . The morning of new year's eve we were awoken to the sounds of a trio of tenors singing classical songs in the main foyer. For its downs the staff food and sheer size and awe of this hotel make up for make up for. With all facilities open in the holiday season we would like to return to experience it.

This hotel is out of the way from the main areas so need to get taxi or bus. Hotel is amazing and regardless of poor reviews we were not disappointed with anything. Food was good. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms adequate. Entertainment ok. Water park is not the full month but kept the kids happy.

The hotel is great to look at, and rooms are spacious. The food on the other hand is absolutely terrible, went to dinner 2 nights out of 7 nights and it was really bad, I wouldn't recommend eating in this hotel. Not a lot to choose from and the food is very bland. We ate out 5 nights on our holiday. There is not a lot of choice for dinner especially young kids who are fussy eaters. Other than that, the stay was good.

Just arrived back after a holiday with my 8 year old. The hotel & water park were lovely but be warned. I'm in no way a fussy eater but the food is really poor quality. I've been on so many all inclusive holidays which the food was 100% better. It's very very repetitive It's a real shame as the hotel was great but the food really let it down !

The hotel is absolutely magnificent.ive stayed in 5* hotels and this is as good as any if not better.it is absolutely spotlessly clean and the rooms are spacious and a lot more than what we were expecting for the price we paid for a week all inclusive. However. The food here really lets the place down.a lot of it is inedible.the choice sp**** and,to be honest,repetitive.i luckily snapped two sausages in half at breakfast and they were raw inside.i overhead people by the pool complaining of the same thing so it wasn’t just me. If you only eat fruit you’re in luck because there is a lot of fresh fruit available and also pastries and cakes.at breakfast. If you want something hot, I can assure you,don’t bother. I feel bad about writing this because as I say the hotel is fantastic. Such a shame as I really wanted to come back and stay towards the end of the year and perhaps I will.but I’ll be self catering.
