Globales Gardenia

This hotel is exceptional value for money when all inclusive. Whilst the building itself needs some TLC it is spotless and clean. The garden and view is unbelievable, the food is good and varied, the hotel staff friendly and the promenade and beach outside are probably the best I’ve seen on the Costa del Sol. This hotel has some poor ratings on here and I think people are expecting 5 star for 3 star prices - don’t be fooled by this - these people must be fussy and moaning Brits…ps - give the elements bar next door a visit - great staff and predominantly Spanish vibe but speak English !

Amazing hotel and staff Can’t wait to come back Very clean hotel Food good Plenty of drinks Pool amazing 10 out of 10 Entertainment was brilliant Maitre - Alejandro thank you for making us the best cocktails Promise we will bring the sun next time

Hotel itself was great , nice and clean and in a good spot right on beach I am gonna do a proper review later but I've contacted the Hotel by email regarding my Mrs thinks she's left her watch behind is there anyway of contacting Hotel directly. We were in Room 1008 and left there on Monday 7th April thanks

I am writing this review on behalf of my son who just returned from this hotel with family. The hotel was overall clean however he did have to chase on a few occasions to make the beds and to clean the room and to leave fresh bath towels. The food selection wasn't the best and was very repetitive. The entertainment that was on genuinely wasn't the best and didn't cater for all different nationalities. The all inclusive drinks were fine and there was also alcohol free beer available on tap. The hotel reception was friendly and welcoming. My son and my mom became very poorly whilst at this hotel with sickness and diarrhea and both had to seek medical advice. They both spent 2 days in bed with whatever they picked up but was violently sick. Unfortunately my son and family would never go back to this hotel and wouldn't recommend this hotel to others. This is purely a review from my son and his honest opinion. Thank you

Great hotel, friendly staff. Nice food, the view was good. Had a few showers but that's March. We'll worth a visit. The restaurant manager was friendly nothing to much trouble. All the staff were excellent. Entertainment was ok . The pool was shut much to outer disappointment. The indoor pool was open but rather small. We'll done all see you again !!

Not the best hotel we have stayed in but just about acceptable for the price we paid. Found the vast majority of the staff polite and friendly especially the maids. The rooms are basic but are clean and the beds are very comfy, not enough plugs, no fridge or kettle and the balcony door is just a normal door, not the sliding type so if it's windy it just slams shut. The most disappointing part of the holiday was the meal times, they don't seem to be able to cope with the number of people even in March. The restaurant manager greets you and then guides you to a table if he can find one! Some tables are literally 10 to 12 inches apart, not very private at all. The food is very repetitive, just served in different forms. Breakfast was generally the best but who wants to queue up for 5 minutes for a fried egg every morning while they cook it for you, why not serve them on the buffet with everything else. The show cooking was extremely repetitive and rushed, not sure that the food was always cooked long enough as one of our party was very ill after eating meat from there. There's another recent review regarding this. Didn't see much of the entertainment, there's something on every night and everyone looked to be enjoying it. Lastly, not sure why the hotel scores so much for it's location, it's on the sea front but there's very little else around, one night we fancied a takeaway because the restaurant food wasn't to our taste and had to walk that far we needed a taxi back!
