Outstanding Family Holiday at Holiday World Polynesia Hotel

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Polynesia World Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful Polynesian-themed design, lush surroundings, and welcoming atmosphere. The hotel is stunning and feels like a tropical paradise.
Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay—friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile.
The facilities are outstanding, especially for families. The pools, entertainment program, and activities for both children and adults were excellent. There was always something fun to do, and the resort created a wonderful holiday atmosphere.
The food exceeded our expectations, with a great variety of fresh and delicious options every day. We particularly enjoyed the themed dinners and the high quality of the buffet.
Overall, this was one of the best resort experiences we have had. The combination of excellent service, fantastic facilities, beautiful surroundings, and great food made our holiday truly memorable. We would highly recommend Polynesia World Resort to anyone visiting Benalmádena and would happily return in the future. Thank you for an amazing stay! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely Hotel, very clean and fresh with a good pool. It's a bit out of the way of anything walking distance wise. The holiday village pools and restaurant was really good. The only thing that let's the hotel down is the food, we struggled to find much that we liked and the food was warm at best. Overall I would recommend this hotel but just bare in mind about the food and it being on a steep hill

Just come back from another fantastic stay at the Polynesia. My kids have absolutely loved the kids club, the staff made them feel very welcome and made the effort to get them involved with the activities. Lovely spa facilities, nice and clean. House keeping was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for them. A lovely gesture as well was the bottle of cava in the room after we checked in as a welcome back.

Beautiful resort and we ended up having a wonderful family holiday, but the check-in experience unfortunately started the trip on the wrong foot.

Due to a change in our travel plans, I had booked a suite with jacuzzi for the first night and a junior suite for the remaining nights. At check-in, reception repeatedly tried to convince us to switch to a junior suite without jacuzzi for the entire stay.

After travelling all the way from Amsterdam with young children and an overnight stop in Madrid, this was the last discussion we wanted to have — especially because we had already promised our children the jacuzzi experience.

In the end everything worked out and we truly enjoyed the resort, the pools, the atmosphere and our stay in Benalmádena. But I do think the arrival experience could have been handled with more empathy and less pressure after such a long journey.

The greatest experience I had is the treatment with me and my family, the animators were very kind and excellent, they took care of my son and entertained him in a natural and special way. I thank Begoña Moreno and Daniel Rios. It's good that in such exclusive places like this they have such an exceptional staff. This makes a great hotel, the facilities speak for themselves. But the staff stands out with their warmth.

La mejor experiencia que tuve fue el trato conmigo y con mi familia, los animadores fueron muy amables y excelentes, cuidaron de mi hijo y lo entretuvieron de una manera natural y especial. Doy las gracias a Begoña Moreno y Daniel Ríos. Es bueno que en lugares tan exclusivos como este tengan un personal tan excepcional. Esto hace que sea un hotel estupendo, las instalaciones hablan por sí mismas.
