I have just came back today from Gardenia Park, which was a fantastic holiday!

Our room was completely spotless and clean along with the rest of the hotel. Staff there were always cleaning.

There was a wide choice of foods which was always warm and tasty!

Location of the hotel was a 15 minute walk to the town centre but as the weather was great it was a nice stroll down along the beach, with plenty of shops to browse along the way.

The hotel staff were happy to help, friendly and polite.

Me and my friends all aged between 18-20 enjoyed the entertainment, including bingo, quiz, cabaret and disco in the evening and games around the pool during the day. There are also lots of activities for the children to take part in during the day along with a mini disco for them in the evening followed by the opportunity to watch a film.

Food at this hotel is excellent and changes everyday. We were only here for three nights though, so I can't say what it's like longer term.

The location is ok, being close to two beaches, although a long way out of the resort (this was a plus for us). It is on a busy main road, but none of the rooms look out onto this, and there is no road noise.

Buses stop just outside the hotel, and trains can take you anywhere all along the coast, the station being just a few minutes walk.

The entertainment was pretty good, although the two women in our party did complain a little, but I think this may have been more to do with the very slim Spanish girl singing at the time that us two men perhaps looked a little too long at!

For the remarkable price in late March, this hotel was superb value.

Having booked it independently with Travel Extras. Would I go again? Definitely for a short break, maybe up to a week.

Had a great time here.

Facilities and standards were good. Good quality food and variety. Entertainment was enthusiastic and appealed to young and old alike.

Many of the other guests were older Spaniards and some English families. About one and a half miles from Fuengirola centre but a nice walk along the beach, besides the whole coastline is built up and one town seems to blend into another.

One hours drive from Gibraltar where I was attacked by a Barbary ape and Two hours+ from Sierra Nevada Ski resort (recommended in Jan and Feb)

Gardenia Park Hotel Fuengirola Group of stayed at the above hotel.

Hotel was very clean and the staff very friendly. Half board was breakfast and evening meal buffet. The variety of food available was excellent every day and as you could eat as much as you wanted was extremely good value for money. You can have a try of food you wouldnt normally have without wasting much if you didnt like. Being very fussy I was pleasantly suprised that everything I ate was superb including the lobster soup!

Location was about 10 min walk to railway station or 25/30 min walk to the centre of Fuengirola. Staff pleasant and helpful and entertainment laid on every day and night. If the drag act is on when you visit makre sure you do not miss it. It was fantastic entertainment.

I am already looking to visit again this October / November

We booked with Alpharooms and were a bit apprehensive particularly afterreading some reports. However, we were in for a surprise.

The food was excellent, and we have to be particulary careful as my husband has had a heart transplant but it certainly did not upset his stomach in any way.

The rooms were spacious and extremely clean.

Entertainment was better some nights than others. It dependend what you were looking for.

Weather was terrible - the worst the costas have had for years, but that was nobody at the hotels fault!!

We are booked up to go there again next March.

We recently returned from a two week stay at this hotel in wich we enjoyed. Having stayed at this hotel four times in the past we decided to return for the new year period, wich proved to have a down
side!spanish elderly!

Not only were they rude and unfriendly but they were also violent,with the exeption of some that were polite and very friendly.Entertainment seemed to have gone downhill alot since our last visit and although they claim to cater for both the British and spanish holiday makers most of the entertainment was in spanish and complaints were made when it wasnt.

Food was great
and new years eve gala dinner was outstanding.Holiday overall was a good one and we hope to return again in the future but not over christmas and new year period due to spanish elderly ...

Just come back from Gardenia Park I thought the hotel was very clean, friendly but never ever go back in November.

Spanish, English and OAP's everywhere. No entertainment for children at all, food was ok, location was pretty far out of the centre and seem to cater for Spanish before the English.

First time all inclusive would do it again but not at this hotel. There didn

Me and my family had a brilliant time at this hotel!!! The hotel staff were very helpful and very friendly... The weather was also very hot. The hotel was in a very good location right opposite the beach and not far from the centre of fuengirola.
I would definatley recommend this hotel.

Just returned from this hotel on Sunday and can't praise it enough. We booked the accommodation direct and separate flights.

When we arrived check in was smooth and efficient, the rooms were immaculately clean and had a lovely smell to them. All the parts of the hotel was very clean and the gardens were well kept never saw a piece of litter anywhere.

The food was great I heard some people say they weren't up to much but the people moaning looked as though they have never eaten in a restaurant let alone anything else!!!. The food was varied and was hot all the time, choice of soup, salad, main and sweet, tea and coffee whenever you wanted.

The hotel was in Torreblanca which was about 20 mins walk into Fuengirola along the beach promenade or 6 euros in a taxi (which the hotel will ring for you).

Staff couldn
