Hotel Palmasol 4*

Overall, great hotel. Very clean, polite staff, excellent food. There are however a few things that need looking at. The biggest thing is the all inclusive package that you pay a... read more dividend for. I found that paying guests and all inclusive guests were treated differently, for example I was turned away from the bar one night and was told the all inclusive bar is now closed, meaning I could only have a drink if I was paying? I would've normally let that one go but I only wanted a soft drink. But the rules are different if you are paying? At the end of the day, we are all paying customers, just the ones with all inclusive have paid up front if you will, whats the issue? The drinks they had to offer on the all inclusive was pretty poor but do-able. First time I have ever seen only 2 cocktails available on an all inclusive menu for such a price, and one of them is non-alcoholic if that appeals to some. The all inclusive snack bar (outside) menu was also different for paying customers which didn't bother me much because what I ordered was great. But as expected came with different choices for the paying customers. I understand half board and all inclusive packages are provided by most hotels across Spain these days, and I understand why it has been done this way, but its just a shame that all inclusive doesn't actually mean all inclusive. The only other thing is the waiting times at the bar. We didn't stay here during peak times, I dread to think what the queue would be like if we had. Some nights we would queue for a while and then leave to go to a bar in the marina due to long waiting times both during the day and on an evening. Not quite sure what the solution is but the system doesn't work well. Hopefully the hotel can look at this issue and reduce waiting times. Where the food was concered, I am a fussy eater but every meal time I was able to fill my plate and enjoy everything. The food was to a high standard and the dining experience was pleasant. Hotel location is perfect, lots to do in and around the hotel some really great places here. We will definitely be coming back at some point to see them again. All round, great hotel just a few draw backs. Thanks for reading.

Nice smallish hotel, lovely gardens and pool area. Rooms are a good size but hardly any drawer space. The bathroom is quite small and again no space for your bits... read more and bobs.

Great hotel. Ideally located for Benelmadena Marina. Which boasts plenty of bars and Restaurants to suit all tastes. One thing to be mindful, is that the hotel has a small but... read more steep hill to get to the beach and Marina. So those with mobility issues may find this troublesome. However the hotel does have some steps that lead to another gated entrance that may be of benefit to those not wishing to tackle the small but steep hill. The Hotel it's self is clean with modern rooms. There is a daily maid service with clean towels etc. Also rooms have a small kettle with tea and coffee making facilities, shower Gel and hand wash is provided. We chose to stay half board. We found this ideal for our needs. The food is very good with a buffet style menu for all meals and plenty of choice. If you are choosing to stay all inclusive. I would suggest that you ask yourself "will I fully take advantage of the all inclusive offering". Be mindful that around the whole area of the hotel are plenty of bars, restaurants and a few supermarkets. So for the extra charge of all inclusive....I would suggest saving some money and supporting the local economy by eating out now and again. The hotel has a couple of pools, bars and gym facilities. In my opinion the hotel is not Ideal for families with small children. There are facilities for the young ones....but apart from the pool and a small indoor play area. Not a lot for them to do. However there is always the beach !!!. It is only 5 min walk 300mtr-500mtr away.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Palmasol. The location is perfect, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. What really made our... read more experience extra special was the amazing service from Carmen at the reception. From the moment we arrived, Carmen greeted us with a big smile and genuine kindness. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Her professionalism and warmth made us feel truly welcome and well taken care of. Thank you, Carmen, for making our stay so memorable – you are a real asset to the hotel! We’ll definitely be back.

This is a small hotel offering a limited all-inclusive option. It is classed as a 4 star hotel but don’t think you are getting the same services as a large... read more 4 star resort hotel. It is not that. So long as you know that when you are booking, you will probably be happy. Pros • Clean hotel. • Lovely large family room with 2 AC units. • Buffet food quality is good with some variety. • Small but nice pool • Small gym • Enforced removal of towels from unused sun loungers (30 mins). Cons • 11am > 11pm all inclusive. If you want a drink, even water late at night, you are on your own. • All inclusive offering is a small sub set of the menu, smaller burgers, a couple of drinks etc. • We had an issue with grumpy house keeping and a general lack of smiles by waiters. • Limited entertainment at 9:30 each night. During our stay one of the nights just didn’t happen without any explanation. • You have to pay for the safe, I have never come across this before. We locked everything in our cases. • No iron in the room, you have to pay for your clothes to be taken away and brought back to you. We bought an Iron ourselves. That was not very 4 star! In summary, I wouldn’t recommend this as an all-inclusive hotel, but as half board or B&B it probably makes sense. I'd actually recommend that they drop that offering, it makes much more sense as a place to stay on a B&B or half board basis. There are lots of places to eat and drink locally, plenty of options in the hotel (so long as your are paying) and our room was great.

We stayed at this hotel last year and are due to return in August - can’t wait. The staff were exceptional. The rooms were immaculate. We were Bed and Breakfast... read more and breakfast was excellent. Huge choice and all very fresh.Yes you queue for pool but it’s not a big deal. The hotel is a few minutes walk from Marina so perfect location. Looking forward to our visit this year.
