Palmasol Hotel
Benalmadena, Costa del Sol

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.

Mr J Hopwood, Manchester

It was really good, just a couple of miner issues like there was never enough condiments for the tables and had to keep going ourselves to other tables to borrow theirs.

Mrs K Gadd, Cardiff

Very clean hotel, staff were very nice. Pool area was lovely, indoor pool was good, heated. Food was OK but after few days was very repetitive same really every day fish and pork but had a very good salad bar, and the deserts were good. It was not the best all inclusive I have stayed in, but then it was out of season. I would return as the hotel was in a good location but I would not do all inclusive.

Mr A Massey, Cheadle

Great location. Hotel, restaurant and rooms clean and tidy. Good food with excellent choice, no queuing at counters, staff very efficient in restaurant. The entertainment wasn't up to much but we like going out anyway.

Ms G Umbo, Thetford

It was an enjoyable stay, staff were very helpful and friendly, our rooms were clean and changed bed linen and towels regularly. The all inclusive dining room was also very clean and for the food was so much choice, looked forward to meals times, probably too much. The gardens were lovely and well kept which led to pool area, no shortage of sun beds.

Mrs A Carr, Rotherham

Hotel very good apart from room size. We booked a room for three adults, when we arrived it was a double room with an extra bed put in. Very cramped, no wardrobe space only 5 coat hangers for 3 ladies clothes. We had to store our suitcases on the balcony. Hotel staff very friendly. Food ok. Location is the best, walk out of hotel, cross the road and you're on the marina.

Mr N Veros, Burton-on-trent

Overall hotel was ok, not made very welcome by outside bar staff. All inclusive customers not treated as well as people paying for drinks.

Miss P Woolley, Buxton

Excellent location, pool and food. Family friendly. Very clean. Balcony overlooked car park on quiet side of hotel. No fridges to hire for rooms.

Mrs R Monaghan, Cookstown

We had a great holiday at Palmasol. Hotel was really well situated across from the Marina and was very clean and staff were helpful and friendly. Carmen the kids club leader was amazing and had an endless amount of energy. Good variety of food in the buffet and everyone was well fed even the fussier in our party of 10.

Only one negative about this hotel was the pool, it didn't open until 9.30 and you needed to queue for about an hour before that to be sure of sun loungers around the pool area. Also they were tyrinical about allowing guests to have anything to play with in the pool which left it a little boring for the kids. They didn't even allow floats or small beach balls for a 5 year old and the life guard was obsessive about this.

Mr T Frecker, Wallsend

Mr C Mccotter, Glasgow

Palmasol within walking distance to all the amenities of Benalmadena. Hotel itself is good, food ok, rooms clean and staff helpful. Think the wi fi could be free as it is in many of the bars and restaurants around but on the whole it was good.

Mr J Smith, Cowdenbeath

Lovely hotel. Great pool. Very nice staff. Had a lovely time at the Palmasol. Only one complaint. We booked All Inclusive. We arrived at 9.40pm on the Friday and we were leaving at 7pm the following Friday but our All Inclusive drinks finished at 11pm on the Thursday night. We had to buy bottles of water from the shop. Hotel bar was 5 euro for a beer.

Mr M Crowe, Newtownabbey

Hotel was quiet, not many English guests and rooms could do with revamp. Dining hall was busy although we didn't use it a lot as we ate out. The reason we choose this hotel was because of its location.
