Hotel Palia La Roca

Went to Hotel Palia La Roca in Benalmadena for 10 days in August. What a fantastic holiday, the hotel was lovely and clean, the service was brilliant and the entertainment staff (Nacho, Sandra, Charlotte, Thomas & Ramone) were incredible and there was something to do for everyone! I also recommend going to the marina, it is beautiful! Didn’t want to come home and would return in a heartbeat! Excellent holiday 👌🏻👍🏻⭐️

This was our second time at this hotel, the first time we were there we had a room with a side sea view, this time we had a full sea view view from a lovely big balcony. The rooms were a good size, with 2 big beds and plenty of storage, and were spotless, as was the rest of the hotel. The drinks had a good selection and there were never big queues at the bar, the outside seating area was also lovely. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the animation team asked everyone if they wanted to join in the activities but didn't pester you if you said no. The food was varied and plentiful, the only problem was that it wasn't always as warm as it should be, but not cold enough to be inedible. There were loads of snacks available, burgers, hotdogs and chips from mid-morning to mid afternoon, then sandwiches, cakes and biscuits from around 4pm. Apart from the temperature of the food there was nothing we could fault the hotel on, and we would definitely return.

Returned yesterday from an 11 days stay. I always start off reviews by saying if I paid £1,000 a week I'd expect something higher but I paid for what I got. I paid for a 3-star hotel and got a 3 star hotel. Staff and cleaners are friendly and efficient. Hotel is really clean apart from toilet near downstairs bar which had been out of order all holiday. Always plenty of food available in restaurant .. lots of salad etc . You do have to queue at meat cooking area though..seat and help yourselfntonfood and drinks...barside snacks very basic. Have to laugh at other reviews who moan about being served alcoholic in plastic cups at the poolside and clearly there is a reason for not serving pints to greedy brits. Mainly Spanish people staying there, have to say no matter what nationality no matter what time they came in during the night people are just inconsiderate and noisy. Room was lovely, bed very comfy,large bathroom, rooms are large can recommend 237 as it overlooked pool and sea. 2 minutes walk to beach.. there's a subway at bottom of street under busy main road..area feels very safe.. about a 20 minutes walk to harbor..£25 a week to hire a safe. No hairdryer in our room.. remember it's 3 stars for a reason.. but a good 1.. costs kept down by minimising staff levels.. poolside entertainment staff work tirelessly.

Hotel was nice and clean and there's a wide variety of food available if you go all inclusive, staff are friendly and there's always something the entertainment team are getting people involved in, great stay would recommend to anyone

Palial La Roca is a fantastic hotel. Service excellent throughout. Food of a good quality and plenty of it. Entertainment staff go way beyond their job description. Cleaners never stopped. Even the lifeguards round the pool helped out to keep the place clean.

Would not recommend this hotel for lone travellers. I went on my own but met with friends there, their rooms were very modern, walk in showers and balconies. However I was given a room with no balcony, bath with handheld shower above, old decor and curtains, back of the hotel. Although I paid over £100 more than my friends, this was not for under occupancy as these rooms are kept for single travellers. All inclusive was also very poor, old pre packed sandwiches, pancakes only served at certain times or, dried up burgers. Nothing that I could see for vegetarians except chips. Main meals were more than not unappetising and everything with chips. Pool was decent and outside patio area was fine during the day, however very poorly lit on an evening. Entertainment was very poor, seemed to be more for children than grown ups, this was October so not school holidays. On the whole very disappointing.

Poor accomodation, poor food, poor entertainment, would not recommend this hotel. Breakfast was best meal of the day, pool was clean and decent size. Staff either disinterested or unfriendly, one or two were friendly. Over run with the French who are not friendly at all.

Staff were lovely & friendly nothing to much trouble & every we're was spotlessly clean & the animation team were really good & work very hard & there was allways a sunbeds would recommend this hotel to stay

This hotel allows hen and stag party's so can be a bit noisy, especially as our room faced on to the terrace where they congregated, drinking day and night. The hotel was clean and well maintained. We had a balcony with a sea view which was really nice but to be honest we didn't use it a great deal because of the noise sometimes. One evening my husband found a piece of metal in his chicken dish and took it to the kitchen right away. The chef apologised and said he would investigate. The next day at breakfast the chef was waiting for us with the manager. He was very apologetic and said he did not know where the metal had come from as there was nothing in the kitchen it could have come from and he would take it up with the supplier. When we went back to our room later there was a nice bottle of bubbly and a card from the manager, nice touch. I don't think I would return to this hotel because of the noise but I would not put anyone else of if they did not mind the hens and stags.
