IPV Palace & Spa

Hemos estado unos días en este hotel en pareja y la verdad es que nos ha gustado mucho. La habitación era amplia, con terraza y unas vistas muy bonitas. Es verdad que el baño se ve un poco antiguo, pero la cama era enorme y muy cómoda. Cogimos media pensión. Los desayunos estaban genial, con bastante variedad de fruta, dulce y salado. Las cenas nos gustaron algo menos porque había menos variedad y la calidad era más normalita, aunque se agradece que el agua estuviera incluida. Lo mejor, sin duda, son las piscinas y las zonas exteriores: todo muy limpio, siempre había hamacas libres y el servicio de toallas viene de lujo. También queremos destacar al equipo de animación, que hizo que la estancia fuera mucho más divertida. Siempre súper simpáticos, animando a participar en las actividades, juegos, aquagym o la clase de mojitos. Además, pudimos jugar al pádel porque dejan las raquetas y las pelotas gratis. Y un detallazo fue que, aunque hicimos el check-out por la mañana, nos dejaron disfrutar de las piscinas y seguir usando las toallas durante todo el día. En general, nos vamos con muy buen sabor de boca y sin duda volveríamos.

First time at the Hotel IPV Palace and Spa and in Fuengirola and certainly not disappointed. The hotel is beautiful - directly opposite the beach and far enough away from the busy end to chill. The food is first class but what makes the hotel is the staff - very friendly, informative, helpful, hard working, kind, attentive and respectful. A very special shout out to Jasmin the hostess and Manuel who works on the bars who have made our stay here just so relaxing and comfortable. First class.

No pongo un 5/5 ya que había cosas que había que mejorar para nuestro gusto.. la limpieza de habitaciones dejaba mucho que desear , estaba todo recogido pero se notaba que era pasar la bayeta por encima y las camas a veces ni cambiaban sábanas y el suelo se notaba con refregones.. dejaba mucho que desear la limpieza para un hotel tan lujoso. Uno de los días que nos limpiaron la habitación se dejaron la puerta abierta y nosotros estuvimos por ahí , y menos mal que ese día nos dio por llegar al hotel rápido por qué según llegamos nos encontramos la puerta de nuestra habitación abierta.. menos mal que no faltaba nada pero si llega a faltar algo, a quien se lo reclamo?… La atención de alguno de los camareros tampoco era la más indicada ya que uno no sabía ni cómo se usaban los tokens de los vasos y decía que no, que había que cobrarlo, desde nos pedimos una cocacola y me lo dan en vaso de cristal, y le digo de cristal ? Dice si te lo subes a la habitación y cuando limpien lo recogen, y hubo otro de los días que me dijo que el cristal no lo podía sacar del buffet para subirme un café que me había sobrado entero.. eso no se lo bajan las de la limpieza?.. y aún así pedimos un vaso de plástico y no tenían y tuvimos que tirar el café entero.. cada uno decía una cosa , no había muy buena comunicación entre compañeros la verdad o no a todos les enseñaron lo mismo. El buffet no estaba mal pero había muchos platos repetidos todos los días, sobretodo la comida de fuera de donde la terraza la casetita de ahí, la mayoría estaba fría , dejaba un poco que desear la verdad. El resto las clases y eso bien que hacían pero el hotel, pero los shows que había por la noche empezaban a las 22 y terminaban a las 23 y preguntamos y nos dijeron que eran normas del hotel , creo que estamos de vacaciones y es para disfrutar,. Y si alguien quiere dormir si cierra la ventana no se escuchaba nada, lo digo por experiencia.. para lo que vale deberían de matizar un par de cosas.

We stayed at this hotel last year to celebrate a very special occasion, and it was such a great experience that we decided to return this year instead of trying somewhere new. Before our arrival, I would like to thank Beatrice from the reservations team. She was extremely helpful, replied quickly to every email, and offered us a very good rate. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I forgot to leave the five-star review the hotel deserved last year. Otherwise, based on this year's experience alone, my rating would unfortunately have been lower than 4. This time, we didn't feel as welcomed. We requested the same room as last year, although I understand it cannot be guaranteed. Instead, we were given a twin room with the beds joined together, but they kept separating during the night, making it uncomfortable. I also don't understand why full board has been removed. I'm sure there are operational or financial reasons, but it was another noticeable change from last year. The biggest disappointment was the spa. Last year, although late check-out wasn't available, we were allowed to store our luggage, use the spa facilities, have a shower after check-out, and get ready before our evening flight. Because of that great experience, I deliberately booked a late flight again this year. Unfortunately, we only found out on our last day that the spa was closed for refurbishment, and the only alternative offered was the public pool shower, which is not a suitable replacement. We eventually paid an extra €50 for a few hours late check-out because we had no other practical option. If the spa is closed, I believe the hotel should provide a proper alternative for guests with late flights.

I can recommend the hotel. Its clean and spacious. Great views from pretty much all rooms, across the ocean. The reception staff was alway professional, but I was missing the nice. Always felt they were really held back. Food in the restaurants was pretty good, outside terrace the plates were small, I was missing a good side order. We tried the little tapas restaurant inside the hotel and is was surprisingly good. Also the lady that served us was very nice, here I felt the kindness coming from the heard. What I did not like so much, was that it seemed there were not enough sun beds for everyone, it became a duty to get one early. Also the music at times when the morning animation came, was too much animation going on for my taste. The water aerobic was fine, found it amazing to see the old ladies (and young ones) to work out to gangster rap. In the afternoon some relaxing, layed back chill out music would have been nice. Went in sometimes because I could not stand the loud music, sometime even 2 different musics playing at same time. All over nice place, I can recommend. Be ready for some walking to the city and restaurants. Oh. The Starbucks Coffee machine in the lobby sucked. Always broken.

We had a very good first impression of the hotel. The reception staff have been friendly, and both the hotel and the pool area look very nice. Unfortunately, our experience has been negatively affected by the check-in process. The official check-in time is 3:00 PM, and we have now been waiting in the reception area for over 1 hour and 10 minutes. We still have not received our room. During this time, we have repeatedly been told, “just a few more minutes,” but nothing has happened and no realistic update has been provided. We understand that delays can happen, but clear and honest communication is essential. A sincere apology, a realistic estimate, or even a small gesture of goodwill would have made a big difference. We hope the hotel improves this part of the guest experience, because the hotel itself seems very promising. Update: After approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, we finally received our room key. We would like to thank the staff member who assisted us with our luggage, showed us to our room, and made us feel genuinely welcome. He was very friendly and professional, and his service helped improve our overall impression. We still believe the check-in process needs significant improvement, but we appreciate the excellent service we received afterwards.
