Hotel Palia Las Palomas

The hotel is well located in a close proximity to a very good beach, The train station with local trains to Malaga is 800 metres away (walk uphill). The hotel is very clean, however, some facilities in the room are a bit dated (bathroom). We spotted a few cockroaches in our room but this is a problem in Spain, and our room was on the lowest floor. Dining in the hotel is excellent, the choice and variety is great, food is very fresh and thereare good vegetarian options as well. It's impossible to try it all. Also, despite large number of people, restaurant is not very crowded and there are no queues. There is entertainment in the hotel, for adults mostly- ping-pong, aqua gym, etc. The entertainment staff speaks Spanish, French, German and English. The hotel has lots of facilities for disabled/less mobile- lifts, chair-lifts, rails and slope to the pool. The swimming pool is very big which is good considering how big the hotel is. The swimming pool area opens at 9:00, so there is no need to wake up early to reserve a sunbed. A few people queue from 8:30, but it is easy to find a sunbed around 9:00. However, later, usually all sunbeds are taken until afternoon. Some sunbeds don't have umbrellas and are on direct sun. However, there are lots of sunbeds available in the garden- a short walk from the swimming pool and they are always empty. Downfalls- you need to pay for wifi access. The hotels still uses lots of plastic cups. Overall, it was a great stay for a reasonable price.
