We stayed at the Palma Sol for 10 nights.
We found this hotel to be excellent.
Very clean.
The food was extremly good, very nicely presented buffet.
The location is good too, it can be noisy on Fridays and Saturdays if your room is facing the road, having said that our room got the afternoon sun so that was lovely and we had a great side sea view.
Staff were very pleasant.
The pool area was good and very refreshing to go down after breakfast and be able to get a sunbed a few people did put towels out but we always got beds and a parasol.
The room was good and the air con was very efficient.
Not much entertainment at this hotel but we always went out after dinner.
We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

We visited the Palmasol in January 2006.
The food was good buffet style.
The indoor pool was great but only open 10am-2pm.
The location was good only 30 metres from Benalmadena Marina. Although it was a steep hill down to it.
The entertainment was poor geared to the elderly clientele in the hotel at this time. Most facilities in the resort were open and we had a couple of trips to Benalmadena Pueblo a lovely village only 20 mins by bus and Malaga 30 mins by train and only 3 euros return it was well worth a full day visit.

We went to H10 Palmasol for a week, booked for half board basis.
Room was clean and basic, location of hotel good.
The pool area was nice but sunbeds were very dirty and really well worn.
Reception staff were not at all friendly, dining room staff and waiters were ok, got the impression they had our money so who cares! No please, thanks and very few smiles.
We paid for half board but after first couple of nights in dining room we opted to eat out. Choice and quality of food was very poor.
Evening entertainment was a joke, really bad it was either crazy bingo or a cheesy talent show with the guests as stars!!!!

We had a very enjoyable week here at the Palmasol.The quality of food was, in our opinion, slightly better than the average for a three star hotel.
The location was good for the marina area. The room was a good average, the only crtisism being the design of the bathroom, i.e. the toilet was cramped at the side of the wash basin, larger people would have difficulty actually managing to sit on the toilet in those circumstances.
The hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful, the bar prices were not that much more expensive than the bars outside. The nightly entertainment was only average though and the bar area was smoky at times.
We would stay here again in the future, it was very reasonable value for money.

Spotless hotel. Reception not helpful arrived at hotel at 1.30pm never got into room until 4pm.
The room we were given was occupied by an unhappy guest who hated his room so they were moving him to our allocated room. After refusing to accept his room we were given one in an awful position.

The hotel is spotless and in a great location. However if you get a room at the front of the hotel there is an unacceptable level of street noise.
The hotel food was good quality but too plain. If you like chicken and chips or roast beef then is for you, not if you like anything with a bit of flavour.
Hotel entertainment is live singers, bingo or quizes.
Reception staff are rude and unfriendly, most likely due to the queue of people every morning asking to be moved from the front of the hotel.

We found the H10 palmasol to be an excellent, top standard hotel. The hotel was clean, tidy and a beautiful, wonderful suprise. A maid service was every day,and they did their job excellently. The rooms were simple, but pratical and comfortable enough with a large bathroom and balcony.
The food was absolutely fabulous!!! We were spoilt for choice of top quality dishes every night, the food was always hot and fresh. Breakfast was also good, with plenty of variety - both hot and cold choices.
The location of the hotel is very central, at the bottom of the road is the marina and beach and at the top is the main night life 24 hour square, although this can be very noisy all night long. The pool is lovely with a poolside bar and set in beautiful gardens. The staff weren't overly friendly but did their jobs well. One bar was not open but there was a pleasant one were u can sit inside or out aswell as the pool bar. The night time entertainment needs improving, but as the hotel is so near other bars and clubs this ws not an issue. All in all, the hotel was incredible. a lovely suprise and you can't go wrong.

Having never visited Spain or this area for a holiday i was plesantly suprised, the location of the hotel is away from the main town of belamadena, but near to the marina, resturants and entertainment. The hotel was excellent, with a good choice of food, cleanliness exceptionally good, we were there at the beginning of the school holidays the only area i would fault is the entertainment every evening was very much the same either quiz/bingo followed by singers i have never taken part in a quiz evening that only had a few questions, but saying that there was some very good entertainment in the pub facing and in the surronding area.
