    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating: 3 star

    The Globales Gardenia Hotel ticks all the right boxes for a go-slow getaway. It’s got a big pool, private gardens, and a sandy beach just a couple of steps away.

    Location is the Globales Gardenia’s trump card. It’s just over the road from a mile-long stretch of beach, which is backed by a seafront promenade of bars and restaurants. Fuengirola’s busy centre is a 10-minute taxi ride away, too.

    The gardens here are a mix of swaying palms, bright pink flowers and neatly-trimmed hedges. Sunloungers are sprinkled across the lawns, so you can get some peace and quiet away from the main pool.

    Stayed for a week on the 16th June.  Check in was a nightmare. Arrived at 13.25 and qued and was told to come back at 14.00. So qued again at 13.15 and got to the counter at 13.15. Very slow as a lot of people was checking in. Had room 611. We did notice ants appearing on the dressing table. Bit old fashioned but was fine. Tv had bbc 1 and itv. But that kept freezing. Safe 42 euros for a week and you got 10 euros back. We were half board and was told we could upgrade to all inclusive for a extra 210 euros for 2 people for the week. Didn't bother. Food was fine but at breakfast the queue for the drinks machine was a knightmare. So I started to use the hot water machine to make a drink. But sometimes that was only luke warm. I put a cup of tea in the microwave for 3 mins and it didn't even warm it up. Sometimes the food wasn't filled up quick enough so empty trays. We were half board and you could buy a drinks voucher 3 euros per person to get your drinks with your evening meal. That was good value. Beer or wine. If you didn't purchase it you could get water free. Always got a sunbed. Cleaners everyday and clean towels. It was about a 2 mile walk to the port. Bit to far away from the main area. We caught a bus outside the hotel for 1.15 euros per person.  Then a taxi back at 8. Pool area nice. The hotel was fine but a bit to far away for me. The sea front is nice and flat.  Tui bus back to airport took 25 mins.  We were the last pick up. Aircon was a bit crap. We enjoyed our stay but a bit to far away from where we needed to be. Weather was hot everyday. Wifi 25 euros per week
    THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED
    23 Jun , 2019 paul t, 186340
    Just arrive back from a weeks holiday at this hotel. The hotel is lovely and clean so well done to the cleaning staff. The issues that need addressing are as follows the food was always cold and not replenished quick enough leaving empty trays and no food. Also tables did not get cleared leaving pots all over. The bars did not have enough staff serving and you had to wait 20-30 mins to get served this is not the bars staffs fault as they worked really hard serving and collecting glasses in between. I think you need to look at the staffing issues so that holidays makers can relax and enjoy there holiday and not spend most of there time standing around waiting for food / drinks.We even had to clear tables before we could each a few night of our holiday. The shower was loose and fell off the wall this is another issue that needs to be looked at
    WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL

    We wanted a relaxing break with good food, first class service, a comfortable room and good sun-bathing facilities.... and that's exactly what we got! Add to that exceptionally professional and friendly staff, a super clean establishment, well appointed with great sea views and it could not have been better. The always varied food was a good mix of Spanish, British style dishes, excellent salad selection, super puddings and a plancha-grill offering freshly cooked local fish and meat. Breakfast was first class, as were the mid-meal snacks on offer also the Asian and Mexican theme food nights. On our all inclusive rate the drinks were local and totally acceptable (cocktails and cava included) and with the opportunity to pay a little extra for name brands. (Thank you Sandra and your team on the pool bar for great service) The animation team worked tirelessly, were wonderfully entertaining and we thoroughly enjoyed the talented tribute acts. We must make special mention to David Sanchez, the bar and restaurant manager. He never stopped making sure everything ran smoothly, was always welcoming and friendly and quickly sorted out any problems. He was aware the bar service at night has been criticised and he says there are plans to sort it out. Let's hope so because that was the only downside in an otherwise fabulous ten days. We would definitely return.
