We have just returned from the Polynesia with my two teenage daughters. The reviews concerning the food was spot on it was cold and the hotel manager and the reps did nothing to redeem this problem. Come on Thompson we all have paid a lot of money and to be served up cold... more

This is my first review on this site as well as a holiday to the Hotel Polynesia. I went with my partner, 15 month old daugther and my parents from the 2nd to the 9th Sept. From the previous reviews I knew that the hotel would be good but when I got the hotel I was even my... more

Jul 2010, .

We stayed at the Polynesia Hotel 6-13 July 2010 and went back because we had such a great time last year. The hotel is still as stunning as ever the rooms are great and cleaned daily. The food maybe wasnt quite as good as last year but still a good selection. However the... more

Loved it, would go back tomorrow
After reading some of the other reviews I think we must have stayed at a different hotel! firstly I must say they have had a few problems- the toilets were blocked for two days in the bar area (loads more close to hand that were not blocked though) and did have a few ceiling leaks in a couple of public areas- but this seems really minor when you see what a fantastic hotel that it is. I have never seen a hotel like it- its out of this world. The rooms are huge, comfortable, great decorations, big balconcies- loved the shower!! The... more
Faulty Towers 2
Think very hard before booking the Polynesia. We were a family of 3 adults a teenage boy and a baby and had the holiday from hell. Firstly little or none of the hotels plumbing is working. The ceiling in our bathroom came in as the shower in the room above wasn't fitted right. The pipes along the entire floor rattled so bad that our baby woke when ever anyone in a room on our floor flushed the loo. If you are on level -2 where the pool, bar and snack bar are you have to go to an other floor to use the loo as the raw sawage had flooded the... more
IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE HOLIDAY A YEAR GO ELSWHERE
We would suggest that had the weather not been so beautiful the first week of May with most people enjoying a discounted stay, a very different reflection of a holiday taken at the Polynesia may have transpired. The Hotel Polynesia is indeed a modern clinical building with some pleasant features – fountains, birds, turtles and fish, and the bedrooms are very spacious but don’t expect them to be spotlessly clean even though new. Excusably, there are teething problems with electrics and plumbing, but do not however expect sympathy... more
HOTEL POLYNESIA WAS GREAT
just returned from a weeks holiday at the hotel polynesia which was excellent. anybody who has booked to go please ignore any negative comments you read on here. food was excellent never cold which so many people seem to think it was ( over 60s ) choice was excellent . dont know if we were just easily pleased but really got sick of people making a scene and constantly moaning for moanings sake . we are already looking to return in september for another week with my wife , sister and brother in law and will also be going back again next year... more
Polynesia - not what i expected!!!
The Polynesia hotel was not what i expected! we stayed here on the 7th may for 1 week. Though the hotel had the WOW factor when we arrived, this was quickly squashed by the lack of attention to detail which you would expect from a 4* hotel. We found the reception staff very unhelpful, for example when we arrived and given our welcome pack, it says our fridge would be stocked with drinks on arrival - IT WASNT! when i rung down to reception they said they would send someone up. I had to ring again twice before someone stocked our... more
Please don't go to the Polynesia
Very disappointing stay, Hotel very luxurious and out of this world apart from floods in bathrooms, tiles falling off walls, bare electric wires,beam falling down in Piano Bar and drains being 'dynarodded' during our stay. Main complaint was the Restaurant - food never hot and OK if you like pizza, burgers, sausages and chips with everything. No-one was interested in our complaints from management to travel reps and believe me we weren't theonly ones to complain. No baby changing facilities in public areas. Photos do not show main... more
A good all-rounder
We stayed at the Polynesia on the All Inclusive plan in early May – there were 2 adults and a 3 year old in our party. We had a lovely time…it was the first week of opening and we had a couple of VERY minor issues but nothing even worth writing about as they were all solved really quickly. ROOMS The rooms are tastefully decorated, very modern and with clean lines. They have a bedroom with two small doubles (or very large singles depending on your point of view) and huge amounts of storage space. As with many hotels there... more
Definately not for wheelchair users yet !!!
Being a wheelchair user I found the Hotel staff most un-helpfull, the Thopson staff were superb. On our arrival we were put into a nice room on the 3rd floor,which I understand is illeagal in Spain, when I questioned this the reply was "we have plenty of lifts", and yes there are lots, but "what if there's a fire you cannot use a lift what do I do fry ??" was my reply on the 3rd day of our week they told us we could move to floor 1, this was actually a room with grab rails in the bathroom maybe for disabled ie: wheelchair users ?... more
could do a little better!
We went the 1st May 2009 day of opening.... Transfer to hotel fine, first impression on walking in to lobby WoW!!! Very Big, you will get lost at least twice we did! Rooms very nice although as only just open, still a lot of dust, saw dust remains, in cupboards under beds etc .. Food very dissapointing as at most meal times in both the main hotel and beach club resturant and the WoK, the hot food was NOT hot, but either luke warm or just plain cold, we did ask the waiter staff if there were any facilities for warming the food... more
Hotel Polynesia with small children
We went for a week at beginning of May 2009 - the first week the hotel was open and had a nice time. The rating of this review is based on the hotel itself as opposed to the whole package holiday. I have outlined good and bad points. The good points far outweigh any bad and I am convinced a lot will be resolved as the hotel becomes established fully. It was very good considering it was the first week of opening anyway. TRANSFER The transfer from Malaga airport took about 30 mins and was on a proper coach with Thomson reps... more
