Hotel Polynesia  

Something new is coming to the Costa Del Sol. Its name is Polynesia. Inspired by the beauty of the South Seas, this All Inclusive hotel looks like a little piece of paradise. Take the lobby, for instance.

Step inside and you'll feel like you've been transported to the other side of the world. There's a waterfall cascading into a lagoon, glossy palm trees stretching upwards and serene pools filled with turtles. There are even rope swing bridges. You almost expect hula girls in leis to check you in. It's a similar story outside where a mini-Eden of pergolas, sub-tropical gardens and a Bird of Paradise aviary awaits.

Taking pride of place in the grounds is the lagoon-style pool. Set in a huge lawn, it's bordered by sunbeds, hammocks and parasols. And the sea views finish things off beautifully. There are snack bars dotted about, too, so you don't have to move far from your sunlounger.

The Polynesia's not all about sunbathing and swimming, though. There are loads of facilities on offer like tennis and diving, not to mention a spa and gym. For families, there's a state-of-the-art ten-pin bowling alley. In fact, younger guests are really well looked after. There a hotel-run kids' club with no end of activities. And don't forget, as a guest here you have access to the hotel's Beach Club - an outdoor waterpark overlooking the sea that's just a minute's shuttle bus ride away.

Like the days, nights at the Polynesia have a packed line-up which you can dip in and out of as much as you like. The Bringue Bar has live music and karaoke while the outdoor theatre stages mini discos and glitzy shows. If, however, you'd rather take a walk on the quiet side, the Maitai Piano Bar does a great line in laid-back music and cocktails.

There's plenty of choice of the food front, too. In the main 'Maeva' restaurant you can eat your way around the world with international buffet stations and show-cooking. There are a couple of a la carte eateries, too, and as a guest here you can eat in both of them once a week as part of your All Inclusive package. For a taste of the Far East, dine at 'Uru Wok', which has a sleek Oriental decor. And in keeping with the hotel's South Seas theme, there's 'Ahima'a' the Polynesian restaurant that has all things exotic on the menu.

As for accommodation, the one-bedroom junir suites are roomy and decked out in soothing tones and contemporary furnishings. And they all come with spacious bathrooms with separate showers, living areas with satellite TVs, kitchenette and private balconies. Plus you can upgrade to a suite, which has even more square footage. Not to mention garden-sized terraces with sunloungers and hammocks. They're more like smart city pads than holiday homes.

In terms of location, the hotel's sandwiched between the seafront and hills at the far end of Benalmadena's coastline. There's not much on the immediate doorstep – but that's the idea. You're in your own little world here. Fuengirola and Benalmadena are both a ten-minute taxi or bus ride away – so close enough if you want to hit the beach, shops or nightlife. But with so much to do at the hotel, there's little reason to wander far.
