Top El Palo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Zen Airport with Free shuttle

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for a quick one night stop over but could have happily stayed longer! Lovely hotel with great amenities."

Benalma Hotel Costa del Sol

8/10 Good

"Rooms were immaculately cleaned and all the staff were extremely helpful. Good location and much better being away from central Benalmadina. Roof top jacuzzis and beds were perfect and much better environment than the caged pool areas which didn’t look great. Perfect for the beach and all views stunning"

Only YOU Hotel Malaga

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a very pleasant stay. The location is excellent, the staff was friendly and welcoming at check-in, and the room was lovel, the bathtub, in particular, was fantastic. A quick tip for future guests: the AC controls are integrated directly into the bedside headboard, which can be tricky to spot at first. My only frustration came after checkout. At arrival, the staff mentioned I was receiving an upgrade. When I entered the room, there was a bottle of champagne on ice, which naturally seemed like part of that upgrade. However, a couple of days after checking out, an unexpected charge appeared on my card, which I assume was for the bottle. Be mindful of in-room items even if an upgrade is offered, but otherwise, it's a solid hotel."

Málaga Hotel Eliseos

8/10 Good

"The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, the shower excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful Breakfast was mediocre. 2 choices of cereal neither healthy but there was a cold and hot choice of main the same every day and neither appealed to me. The bread didn’t look fresh. Air conditioning was excellent, immediate response."
