Globales Gardenia

Currently here.Do not underestimate how bad the food is!! Poor selection and after 2 days we havent had anything hot,all luke warm.only friendly staff weve met are the cleaners.Room is spacious and clean.Air con is good.location is beautiful.Every sunlounger has towels on by 8.30!

Clean hotel awful food.paid half boared. Only ate breakfast never evening meal.Then we started eating breakfast out.never stated in the hotel during the day or use pool.Very noisy and a fence round the pool.It was like a PIP hotel.

Ok, if you’re looking for glamour and beautiful people, this may not be for you. If you’re looking for value, comfort, cleanliness, guaranteed sunbeds and an entertainment team that goes above and beyond, this is perfect. The food is plentiful and varied. There are options that are cooked in front of you at all 3 main meal times. Drinks are ok on the all inclusive but not all cocktails are on the deal. There are several sunbathing areas and a couple of pools. The solarium terrace suits those who like the quieter vibe and/or topless sunbathing. The real gem of this hotel is the entertainment team. They go above and beyond for young and old. Lola in particular is a force of nature and her pool Zumba is not to be missed, whether you join in or not. They even keep it up for the night time cabaret, which is good fun and, in my estimation at least, better than the acts they bring in. There are swankier places on the Costa del Sol but Fuengirola will always have its place in our hearts.

My friend and I spent 4 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Then location is great...right on the beach front with lots of shops and restaurants. The beach is so clean and safe. The staff at the hotel were very friendly. We decided to upgrade when we arrived and it was worth it. The food was lovely and lots of options. We managed to get sun loungers each day. The pool is freezing because it was so hot when we visited you really feel how cold the water is but it is what you need when you need to cool down. We enjoyed the aqua aerobics but didn't do any of the other activities, although they looked fun. The entertainment team were fun. The evening entertainment could have been better but we enjoyed the visiting acts who got people up and dancing. The layout of the main bar is not great as there is limited seating and extremely limited view of the stage. Theres a small shop in the hotel for clothing and gifts. The toilets, snack bar, bar area, pool area and restaurant were all clean. The rooms are basic but the beds are comfy and the rooms are clean. We had a large balcony and an amazing sea and pool view. Cleaner came in every day and changed towels when needed. Room would benefit from more plug sockets as there was only one that we found and it would be good to have a hairdryer provided. Overall the hotel grounds are beautiful and we were happy with our stay. The only one thing we didn't like was the constant wafting of cigarette smoke when sunbathing- there should be a designated smoking area and not allowed around the sunbathing areas because the smell is bad when several people around you are all smoking, you can't escape it. Overall we would be happy to stay again.

We visited in June with our adult sons and their partners. We had a fabulous time. Bedrooms are typical Spanish style, maybe dated, but very practical with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. As many others have said no fridge, hairdryer or kettle but we knew this and took our own kettle and hairdryer. This wasn't a problem. The hotel was very clean. The food was good, the same as in many other All inclusive Spanish hotels we have stayed in. They were particularly good with my son who has Celiac disease. he had his own menu ( you just have to ask) his food was cooked for him each meal time. He wasn't ill once. The entertainment was excellent with daily activities and visiting entertainers most evenings. The staff were very friendly and professional, and helpful when we needed them. The hotel is in an excellent position, it is a walk to the 'main' part of Fuengirola but we liked the walk along the prom. The views from the rooms are fantastic, all sea views from what we could see.
