Globales Gardenia

Consistently friendly and attentive staff, high cleanliness standards, spacious and comfortable rooms with sea views, diverse and tasty breakfast options, and a perfect seafront location close to amenities and the beach.

Hotel still has the clanky, echo hall ways but still has its natural charm. The new snack bar and pool bar are a smart addition by Globales, a chain I've loved in the Balearics and they didn't fail to disappoint. I'm so glad to see they haven't thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Lola of the animation team was still as vibrant as ever. Drinks Spirits are 30% San Miguel & blue on tap stop tap midnight Wine Tinto and blanco good in restaurante Food All you can wish for. Plenty of fish, meats and variety. Frying station, pizza, all veg and salads, always a pasta dish. Snack bar lacked wine but self service beer, soft drinks, juices, water. Indoor pool Access from outside, no beds or changing facilities but this has created the massive snack bar. Solarium Nice terrace on G floor with showersIf you are on a cheapy, don't weigh your case with toiletries. Save luggage weight Shop across the roundabout is cheap as Home bargains, razors £1.50 gin 14.99 litre. Alexandre Jefe de le maeseros very kind, as are all staff will 100% be back again! 2005 to 2025, thanks to all the staff at Gaurdinia Park

I would avoid at all costs if you aren’t Spanish. I checked in today and 2 hours after booked a different hotel for the remainder of our stay in Fuengirola. We are only seeing the night through here because the other hotel has no availability until tomorrow. When we arrived the lady at the desk was kind and helpful. She gave us our all inclusive wristbands but our room wasn’t quite ready so she said we could go down to lunch while we waited. That is where it all went downhill. We walked into the restaurant area, but there was no one at the door, so we walked through to find a table. We was then rudely shouted at by a member of staff telling us that we should have waited. There was no signs stating to wait by the door. The food was cold, bland and tasteless. The staff ‘Refilling’ the food were just barging people out the way. Not one other guest there that we could see spoke English, and we found it quite an uncomfortable experience. We went back at 2pm to collect the keys for our room. The room that we were given was nothing like the room we booked, the beds are squashed in to a corner of the room, no bedside tables, one plug socket in the whole room the other side to the bed. The only upside of the room is that although completely different to the pictures, it is clean. We went down to the bar once we put our luggage into the room, but that was an experience I wouldn’t want to encounter again. We tried to ask the staff member which alcoholic drinks were included in the all inclusive, she just pointed over to the soft drink station. When we tried to ask her again, she responded abruptly with “no English”. We decided to give it a miss and went back to our rooms to book another hotel. It seems that the staff at this hotel are much kinder to Spanish guests, and have no time for anyone english. We have been to Fuengirola many times before and have never been treated like this. If anyone reading this is contemplating going to this hotel, I would do yourselves a favour and book elsewhere. The ‘Fuengirola Beach apartamentos’ hotel is a lovely hotel which we have stayed in previously. I am struggling to understand how this place can even be ranked a 3 star hotel.
