Makes solona in tv show a 5 star, Stay anywhere but here
Pros:

Staying as a single guest and put in Room with no natural light or a balcony. Windows look stright onto a wall. Terrible room and treated badly as i am a single traveler in this basement dungeon room. Il stay in local homeless shelter rather than this dingy 1 star hotel. Again. Only positive is its near beach.

Wonderful hotel
Pros:

Wonderful hotel, from the welcome right through to checkout.
Room was slightly dated but it's just for sleeping and showering. Large rooms with plenty of storage space which was great. As a couple with a 17 year old the extra space is not something we are used to as an extra bed is usually squeezed in, this was not the case and helped keep the room tidy.
Bar staff superb, so friendly and kept everywhere so clean. Drinks were standard all inclusive.
Food was again, standard all inclusive, we are out a few times as we were there for 2 weeks but always found something to eat.
Hired a fridge on arrival and it was in our room and cold within a couple of hours.
Rooms cleaned daily and beds made.
Overall a super holiday and would highly recommend this hotel as a 3 star.

Lovely 3-star hotel - great holiday 😀
Pros:

We’ve just returned from a fantastic stay at Hotel Palia La Roca Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol and honestly couldn’t fault the overall experience for a 3-star hotel.

The staff were brilliant throughout our stay — friendly, helpful and always welcoming. A special mention has to go to the entertainment team, particularly Julia and Kobe, who were absolutely fabulous and really made our holiday! Their energy, enthusiasm and friendliness were infectious, and they went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. They are a real credit to the hotel.

The food was good for a 3*, always found something tasty. We also found the queues at the bar weren't too bad, even at busier times.

The pool opens at 9:30am, and there were some guests who queued to get their preferred spot, but we always managed to get a sunbed, so this was never an issue.

A few small suggestions for improvement would be to improve the quality of the breakfast juices, provide more seating for the evening entertainment, as it could get difficult to find a chair, and improve the Wi-Fi availability and coverage around the hotel. No chicken nuggets and chips weren't wonderful but this didn't effect us.

That said, these are only minor points and certainly didn't spoil our holiday. For a 3-star hotel, we thought Hotel Palia La Roca offered excellent value, with a lovely atmosphere and fantastic staff.

We had a brilliant holiday and would definitely return. Happily recommend Hotel Palia La Roca, as I feel it offers a great holiday experience and excellent value for money.

Julia and Kobe — thank you for making our stay so memorable! ️
