We recently stayed at the Polynesia Hotel in Malaga and were impressed by several aspects of the experience. The hotel itself is stunning—beautiful architecture, very well maintained, and extremely clean throughout. The rooms are absolutely huge and spotless, providing a really comfortable space to relax in. The main pool is lovely and well-kept, though it's worth noting that the other pools you often see advertised are actually part of the wider complex across several hotels. These are spread out over five buildings and a very hilly area, although a free shuttle bus is available to help guests get around. The food was outstanding—great variety, excellent quality, and well-organised service in the restaurants. However, the entertainment was a major disappointment. For a hotel with 328 rooms, there is only one entertainment room in the evening for all guests. This space is shared by everyone, including families with young children, meaning there's no separate adults-only area if you're looking for a quieter experience. Entertainment consisted mostly of the same singer each night, with some variety acts on the weekend—but only for an hour or so. There was also no kids' club in operation during our stay, which left both children and adults bored in the evenings. Another issue was the complete lack of information in the rooms—no welcome booklet, no guidance on local transport (like bus times), hotel facilities, or entertainment. You’re left to figure everything out for yourself

Absolutely stunning hotel. It’s worth noting that some facilities are only open in the summer season. The outdoor pool is open from April onwards and they have a kids’ pool but it’s not well signposted. The indoor pool costs extra as it’s part of the spa but it’s sooooo good. The kids’ club doesn’t allow adults to stay and my 3-year-old didn’t enjoy it for that reason. Older kids will enjoy it.

Très déçu

Formule all inclusive sommaire car 2 restaurants étaient fermé donc uniquement buffet. Les cocktails sont fait a l'avance et beaucoup trop sucré et mal dosés...la chambre est usé par rapport au photos, l'accès à l'aquaparc est super loin et un grosse côte à monter, pas d'accès direct a la plage 1km a faire a pied...le restaurant buffet est bruyant ça crie et ça court vers les buffets dans tous les sens c'est vraiment....horrible...enfin l'environnement est très bétonné peu d'espace vert.
