Royal Oasis Club at Pueblo Quinta

We had a great holiday week here and I just want to say it was in a large part to Sergio at reception . When we arrived we had been allocated a very dark room with bars on the window and no outside space . We very much like a balcony and this room just wasn’t going to work for us . Sergio went out of his way to find us a great room which given the type of hotel and how busy it was at this time of year we really appreciated . The room was 322 get it if you can . The apartment was well appointed / decorated and laid out . The shower was good with decent towels . The location is good not to far from the beach and near paloma park . The balcony is only big enough for a table and 4 chairs not loungers but it is a total sun trap from 2pm onwards . Cleaning was good but a bit strange it says it’s done 3 times a week but your first day counts as day one . So we arrived on Wednesday and the cleaners came on the Saturday and the Monday . Air conditioning was good as well although the outside box is located on the balcony . There was a bit of street noise from cars going up and down the hill but only when the balcony door was open ( if you haven’t been to benalmadena before it is very very hill ) . The pool is not huge and is a bit odd as you can walk in at one end but it gets deep very quickly . This worked great for me as I used it like a kind of plunge pool , when I got to hot I just jumped in the deep end . There was never really a problem getting a sunbed except at the weekend when the complex got very busy with Spanish visitors . Overall we had a great holiday however if I’m being honest there were a couple of things I didn’t like or understand. . There was not one parasol to be had around the pool and this was punishing as the heat was well into the 30s . ( I may stand corrected but apparently this is a rule from the owners . ) we had our 3 year old grandson with us and he spent a lot of time hiding under his towel . The pool doesn’t open till 10 am that is to late . We are early risers and would usually be down getting the not so punishing morning sun especially with a small child but this was not possible . There is no pool bar as such there is a gate to the next door restaurant but even its terrace is not really the place you can grab a cold drink in your swimwear . This meant drying off going back to the room or as most people did meant bring drinks down from the apartment which all became a bit of a pain . Last but not least if you don’t like small lifts room 322 etc are not for you as it says it for 4 people but I found it strangely claustrophobic . In summary we had a great holiday and we had partially visited because a relative had had a time share here over 30 years ago . Will I be back possibly if I knew I was getting a room with a sunny balcony and the pool opened at 9 and I could get a parasol .

From a lovely check in from Daniel and Sergio, until check out five days later, our stay was brilliant. We had a lovely Appartment with an outdoor dining table and separate terrace with our own private sun loungers. The entire place is spotless. Lovely bed linen and the largest soft towels I have seen in a hotel. A special thank you to the man on reception in the evening, ( sorry I didn’t get your name) who was a great help when we had a medical emergency . The apartments are across the road from a beautiful park, great for a morning walk. We were treated like royalty from start to finish, and I would love to visit again.

We have been visiting this resort for several years now . This is a peaceful resort opposite Paloma park . Minutes from the beach and restaurants . Lovely well maintained apartments and friendly staff . Restaurant on site if you didn’t want to go far. Bus stop outside and taxi rank near the park so easy to get around without the need to hire a car .
