“Nice apartments but not much atmosphere”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I tend to agree with the reviews here, the apartments are lovely (we stayed in a two bedroom apartment) and if we were going with just friends or wanted a full on self catering holiday then this is perfect. The outside pools are absolutely freezing and even though we went in April it was 25 degrees so not actually winter time. We booked this as it listed that it had a snack bar which we presumed would be on-site but all the catering facilities were actually outside a gate of the resort. Therefore, if you wanted a snack whilst at the pool you had to get dressed and dry and all go out to eat or you had to bring something to the pool with you which is a bit of a pain. We thought we were booking apartments with facilities and this doesn't have any really within the actual complex and reception is only open for certain periods. The tennis courts are not onsite but are just over the road, however if you want to book the 'kids tennis' that is specified you wouldn't want to leave them like you would within a hotel complex. If you want a 'home from home' holiday and have a tight budget then this is perfect. Also, if you want a hen, stag or 40th getaway, this would be perfect as the couple of bars that are just outside the resort are chic and seemed full of younger people, however it will cost 8 euros to go to puerto banus or the beach. If you want to be close to puerto banus or want something for the kids then this is really not the place, its worth paying the extra as we spent £25 a day taking the kids to the beach (as the pools were too cold) and then going back in again to eat in Puerto Banus on the evening.

“Clean and Spacious, but a bit tired.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

person found this review helpful

The rooms were very spacious and clean, but the decor was a little tired and some of the furniture was past it's best. Gardens were pretty and well maintained and the car park was large and very secure. Reception could have been more inviting, but the local bars and cafes were very good. Whilst staying at Aloha Gardens, every day we had breakfast at a bar called TR3S PALOS, which had good food.

“Absolute RIP-off”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The pool was out of order – the hotel management didn’t care
The gymnasium did not exist – the hotel management didn’t care
The room was very dirty, damp and smelly, old and tired, and the furniture had seen better years, let alone days. Paint kept falling off the wall, and it had several cockroaches along with other nightly creep’s…….

Seriously – this resort is NOT value for money, on the contrary, it is high time people started to accept less and demand at least some value for money.

Avoid this place – it is certainly not anywhere near 4 star – honest review = 2 star

P.s. Many people we met, laughed at the star rating of this place. It appears to be a party zone, full of hen parties, and the younger more louder individuals.

“Urgently needs renovation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2010

person found this review helpful

We have stayed at the Aloha Gadens 3 times since 2006. In the past we felt it was a good value for the money. However, on this most recent visit we were extremely dissapointed with the resort. The sofas and beds urgently need to be replaced. They were worn out and very uncomfortable. The out door seating was cheap plastic tables and chairs that were mismatched and dirty. The back door "garden" was dominated by a dead plant stump. The upstairs bathroom was infested with small ants that found their way into all of our toothbrushes, hair brushes, and other toiletries. When we asked to change rooms at the front desk we were told that they were full and it was not possible. It did not appear true that all of the other rooms were full so I am not sure why they would not change us. The pool areas have deteriorated significantly since we first visited. Also there was a lot of very shoddy maintenance work that was not completed with crumbling outside walls and exposed pipes and loose gravel all over.

Worst of all, the price now is not so good to overlook these deficiencies in the property. We will certainly not go back to the Aloha Gardens based on the price to value ratio. It is a shame because when we first started going we were very pleased with the place.

Sincerely
Greg
