I would say this hotel is not very family friendly. Seems to be for older clientele, even in half term. Day time games and evening entertainment are for older people. The entertainment staff were good fun though, the lady is great and they all worked well together. Food really lacks choice and is of poor quality. The pasta sauces were terrible (think cheap ketchup). The food is not hot. Trays of food were not replenished quick enough, and although there is fresh food cooked in dining room, you have to queue for it. Location is right by the beach and there are several restaurants a short walk away. Although we were all inclusive, we did eat out a few times. Fuengirola town is a bit of a trek in the heat so we walked 5 mins and caught the train. Nice and easy. If we'd been staying longer, I would have got the train to Malaga for a day trip. Would not choose this hotel again. Really needs updating

Beautiful clean hotel. Great location. Walk out the back gate and turn right and it takes you all along the beachfront. All staff polite and friendly. Reception staff were great at advising what was out and about and advised the best way to get there. Food was ok, people expect 5* food for a 3* hotel. Never had an issue with it not being warm, lovely salad selection.

What a brilliant holiday we’ve just had at this fantastic hotel. The hotel is absolutely spotless, rooms are cleaned daily, bedrooms are a tad dated but we only used our room to sleep and get ready in. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. The female chef who was on the show cooking was outstanding, sorry didn’t get her name. The entertainment staff were amazing. Lola, George and Danny were outstanding, best entertainment staff I’ve seen in a long time. Also the lifeguard marina ( I hope the names right) interacted with the guests, which was lovely to see. The entertainment staff and Marina looked to be enjoying their work, something that is rare to see nowadays. Hotel in a good location and great views. Thank you for a great holiday,Karen, Jimmy and Rebecca x

We stayed at Globales Hotel in Fuengirola and, unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The food was poor and extremely repetitive. The menu hardly changed from day to day, so it felt like we were eating the same meals throughout our entire stay. Even though we had an all-inclusive package, there was practically nothing decent to eat between meal times. During the day, only cold burgers were available, and they were often undercooked. The dessert selection was very limited, and even the pancakes were served without any chocolate spread, cream, or toppings. The hotel facilities were also disappointing. The swimming pool was closed and unavailable during our stay. Activities such as billiards and table football required an additional charge, which we found unacceptable for a hotel of this category and price range. The reception staff were not particularly friendly, and communication was difficult because almost nobody spoke English. The rooms are very old and clearly have not been renovated for many years. The furniture is worn out, damaged, and dented in many places. The walls are extremely thin, and you can hear everything from neighboring rooms and the hallway, making it difficult to relax or sleep. We would definitely not recommend this hotel for families with children. During our stay, there were hardly any young people or families. Most guests were over 65 years old, and the atmosphere was very quiet and boring. Families looking for entertainment and activities will most likely be disappointed. What disappointed us the most was the poor value for money. The price of this hotel is far too high for what it offers. For the same price, or even less, we have stayed in other hotels with much better food, better service, renovated rooms, and far more facilities and entertainment options. This hotel simply does not justify its cost. Based on our experience, the hotel does not meet the expectations created by its description, especially regarding the all-inclusive package. We would not choose this hotel again and would not recommend it to families or younger travelers looking for an enjoyable and worthwhile holiday.

We had 7 nights all inclusive. All in all we were over joyed, Comfortable, Spotlessly clean, amazing, friendly, helpful staff who seemed to take genuine joy from ensuring you had a great holiday. Great food, excellent selection of drinks. Entertainment for those that want it no pressure on those that don't. Great location, easy access to beach, bars and shops and a short bus ride into the centre of Fuengirola. we'd highly recommend it.
