Globales Playa Estepona

Arrive at this hotel very late at night, after no shuttle service (which we waited 1hour n 30 mins for) not a good start to the holiday!! When we finally got to the hotel, we wasn't shown were the rooms are ( in the dark may I add) with a 6 year old. At like 3.30/4am, we had to find our own way,But other than that the hotel and the grounds are lovely,cannot fault it at all. Food not the greatest, needs more of a selection..

So upon arrival you turn off the main carriageway down what looks like a residential road surrounded by derelict and graffitied buildings. Finally you get to the bottom of the road to be greeted by a stunning reception hall. When we got out of the taxi the place was in darkness like it was closed but life soon appeared when we walked in. We were asked on arrival if we were hungry after checking in which was about 1am we obviously stated we was and the kind man behind the reception desk said he would get the restaurant opened up, we were over the moon......but upon entering a warm restaurant we soon discovered the small amount of left overs sat from what I presume was dinner sat there. We passed up on the offer and went to the room. When we got into the room we noticed we had a mini fridge but it was empty not even water. We then called reception who told us we had to pay for water....pay!!!!!!!!!! 2euros for a small bottle. What a joke!!! We are all inclusive I replied but they stood firm. Apparently all local alcohol and soft drinks doesn’t cover water. We also noticed we had a smashed mirror in our bedroom taped up with black wire tape and masking tape. Not good when you’ve got a 1 & 4 year old in your room. The first few days were fine, we settled in ok, exploring our surroundings. We stumbled upon an ALDI up the road aswell as a lot of furniture shops & Golf shops hahaha in a tourist area. There’s also 2 old derelict buildings spoiling the scenery. There’s also a beautiful Indian and Italian just up the road. The hotel lays on a shuttle bus into puerto beanus everyday but Saturdays you have to make sure your in reception to get your tickets at 07:15 as they got very fast btw they don’t give them out until 8am but as it’s market day the queues massive. We enjoyed a beautiful day in Marbella 1 day near the end of our stay to come back to find that hotel maintenance had let themselves into our room to replace the broken mirror but we found mirror everywhere shards under and on the bed the cot everywhere so again another call to reception. The food in this place is very bland and most of the time not hot and pink in the middle. It’s also very repetitive as an example we had the chicken kebab 3 nights in a row. I can’t be too horrible about this hotel as the staff are friendly and lovely the grounds are nice just a shame about its location. Horrible unkept beach, poor location if you want to go anywhere but I’m sure for a cheap holiday you will be content.

Spent a week with my mum and 3 younger sibling, the whole experience was incredible, all of the staff were amazing, special mention to fabio and Javier in entertainment, amazing guys, all the kids loved them as they were so enthusiastic and happy, would deffinately go again, the room was really nice, the hotel and park were immaculate, all cleaned every morning, the food was good always something for everyone, even picky eaters, deffinately recommend it
