Globales Gardenia Park

Just returned from an 8 night stay at this hotel and honestly did not want to leave! We joined family members who had been the previous year and it lived up to everything they'd told us. Location is great, seconds from the beach, bus stops right outside should you wish to venture out and plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants nearby should you need them. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean - maid service came in daily to make beds and change towels - good size balcony with an amazing unobstructed sea view. As a group of 8 we were worried about finding sunbeds and seats in the dining room to accommodate us but never had a problem. The food leaves a little to be desired. Lack of variety and there are some issues with the food being cold at times but overall I would say it's ok. Now for the biggest positive of this hotel, the animation team! Lola, George & Dani are amazing, my nephews (aged 6 & 10) had raved about them from the previous year and they definitely lived up to the hype and then some. My daily Aqua Gym activity was so much fun and the amount of activities on offer for all ages is rare for a hotel of this size, I'm not quite sure how they do it! And I must say, the Cabaret nights they put on are the highlight of the evening entertainment. Having the read the previous reviews I can understand why this place wouldn't be for everyone but for me and our party it was a perfect summer holiday!

Positives- across from beach, hotel and grounds kept very clean, typical all inclusive menus but do have area where can cook omelettes, pancakes fresh for breakfast, then lunch and dinner cook fresh fish etc options. Snack bars also cook fresh burgers and hot dogs. We can be a wee bit fussy with food but we were kept fed. Drinks options great. Cold and hot drinks available. All inclusive drinks good range, range of desserts

Entertainment team certainly make this hotel !!! One of the best teams we’ve had. Even if you don’t want to get involved in the many choices you can’t help but get caught up in the enthusiasm.
Also bar staff very good. Restaurant staff very good at clearing tables without being pushy which we’ve had elsewhere.

Negatives paying on arrival for a safe and fridge in your rooms seems unnecessary. These days most hotels include them as standard. Also no kettle/hairdryer Yes can’t be helped with the amount of food available as isn’t the hottest but the staff do try and typical of all inclusive

Overall it’s a high 3 star. With a few tweaks could be higher. Staff do their utmost to make it an enjoyable holiday and it shows. Really had no bad things to say about our time here. Would we come again. Certainly!!
