Palmasol Hotel
Benalmadena, Costa del Sol

Mrs P Leek, Solihull

Noisy unhelpful staff, cold food.

Mr G Coles, Birmingham

Hotel was lovely with friendly staff and rooms were kept clean and tidy. The only gripe I had was the pool didn't open until 10am and closed at 7pm.

Mr T Frecker, Wallsend

Mrs J Dunning, Exeter

The hotel rooms were tired, dated and small. The staff were helpful and friendly. All recreational areas were kept clean. Food was average, but let's remember it is a 3 star hotel and I had no complaints about the food. The only thing that I would suggest is that they get better dish-washing machines because more than often dishes were not clean sufficiently. Outdoor area very good, lovely swimming pool and gardens. Location fantastic!

Mrs C Willcock, Cramlington

Mr R Cox, Winchester

Stayed 5 nights - all fine - just as I would expect from a Spanish hotel of this calibre, clean room, clean bathroom, good beds. Food was good, plentiful and available for a wide range of time. Staff friendly and helpful. Pool side is noisier, street side looks like a building will go up opposite.

Mr P Hayhurst, Kirkcudbright

A most clean hotel very well situated and set amongst beautiful gardens. Impressive service delivered from most staff throughout the hotel and throughout our extended 30 days stay. The food was good overall but became repetitive after just a few days.

Mr M Carey, Bolton

Hotel was comfortable and staff helpful and pleasant. The food in the restaurant which was buffet style was ok but mainly the same choices every day and could have been better managed. Location was excellent, a few minutes from the Marina and local busses. Overall a pleasant stay and value for money.

Mrs T Lane, Castleford

Lovely hotel rooms, clean, food nice.

Mrs A Hooper, Spalding

Lovely hotel, food good but much the same each day, could do with more variations. Salad bar lovely and fresh at each mealtime. We didn't join in the activities as seemed more for the children and teenagers. Evening entertainment was a waste of time for us, as again seemed more for youngsters. The hotel itself very clean and lovely staff in the bar, we did think the waiting staff were quite abrupt and slightly rude! Unfortunately the indoor pool was closed and being October the outside pool was freezing, only went in once for about 15 minutes and I do like a daily swim when away. The location was fantastic, there is quite a steep slope down to the Marina and beach but once down it's worth it, it's beautiful. Lots of restaurants and bars along the front. We had lunch out twice for variation even though we were all inclusive. Overall had a fab time and would recommend.

Mrs C Norton, Beverley

Friendly staff, always helpful if asked anything. Rooms always kept clean with change of beds and towels regular. Great location for bus service and the marina.

Mr S Anderson, Magherafelt

Central location, friendly staff.

Miss A Moore, Bootle

Lovely relaxed hotel, air con could do with a boost everything else was spot on, had a fab holiday.

Mrs J Fullwood, Nottingham

The hotel was clean, the room was adequate with plenty of storage. The food was varied with a good choice each day. The pool was clean with enough sun beds for everyone.

Mrs T Fearon, Newry

Clean basic hotel, didn't like having to use card even though we were all inclusive.

Mr S Thompson, Antrim

Food and staff excellent and very clean.

Mr P Millar, Newtownabbey

The queuing for sunbeds was unbelievable, pool didn't open till 10am and they had started queuing at 8.35am. Also 1 person in bar which meant you could of been standing 15\20 mins to be served.

Ms C Rosser, Bristol

Clean hotel, limited food at breakfast, queues to get drinks and snacks. Pool area not open until 10.00am each morning as gates are locked. Seemed to be a shortage of sun beds at times.

Miss S Wilshire , Barnsley

Fab hotel but not enough room round pool.

Mr J Moran, Keighley

Had a fabulous 7 day stay at the Palma sol Benalmadena and would find it dificult to find fault. The rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily, a kettle would have been nice though. The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed all inclusive and the food was fantastic. The pool and grounds were fabulous if you would pick pick fault the pool doesn't open 'til 10am so you queue for sunbeds and the all inclusive bar closes at 11pm but then your drinks are charged at half price. The location of the hotel is spot on in a quiet area but only 5 minutes from beach and Marina and same distance from main nightlife area. Would definitely come back here.
