Just come back from a week for my mothers birthday package holiday from easyJet lovely hotel had a great week cleaners work very hard and all staff was very friendly to us even had a early check in was a bonus as we had a early flight, few down falls for us our room 508 very noisy due to morning delivery’s and the refurbished so meant couldn’t sit out on balcony for long wqs a skip being filled with rubbish from the refurb and blankets on the bed was very itchy surely duvets would be a better match these days and no kettle or fridge which meant we couldn’t keep anything cool wanted £40’euros a week for the use of a fridge, would think this day and age they would be standard we did ask about a upgrade as it was a birthday week but for extra £100 euros for a kettle and diffrent room we thought that be better spent on exploring not a problem the great benalmadena done us well. We was half board food times was like stampede so we didn’t stay in there for long did try many different times but was like it no matter what time we went down for dinner or breakfast, would we stay again yes but would need to be a few changes for that but did enjoy our week thank you

“Good for a quick get a way”

Hotel is only a minute walk from the beach, although I would not say it is in the ‘thick’ of things. There are just a few small shops, bars and restaurants within the vicinity, its about a 25minute walk into the marina area where there is a lot more going on.

Hotel is only a minute walk from the beach, although I would not say it is in the ‘thick’ of things. There are just a few small shops, bars and restaurants within the vicinity, its about a 25minute walk into the marina area where there is a lot more going on. Hotel it self is very clean, yes it is dated, although they have upgraded the communal areas, bars and restaurant and now really they need to concentrate on the rooms as these are still stuck within the 1970’s. Having said that, they are very functional, comfy, plenty of wardrobe space and hangers everything you basically need and they provide Dove shampoo , hand and body wash which is a nice touch. If there is one complaint I would have about the room is that the towels to dry with are not huge! Would be nice if they were bigger. We stayed Half board and the food was ok. Some evenings were not great but managed to find something to eat and there was always plenty. Would have been nice to have had more fresh fruit options - they say its fruit that is in season but there is more in season than apples, pears, small oranges and melon every day. Not a huge choice of puddings- a lot of spanish style cakes ( very sweet ) yogurt from a squishy tin type thing or ice cream. If they had a special cake that would be gone in minutes and they were never quick to replenish. We never did any daytime entertainment as we were out and about, the evening entertainment was the same thing- only two days out of our 6 were different and that was a magic show or flamenco ( which was brilliant ) otherwise it was singing all the time. Singers are ok but not all the time as it gets boring- once you have heard one, you’ve heard them all, so it would be nice for a dance show or other shows other than singing. It was a nice last minute get a way and we had a nice time but have also had better holidays in hotels of 3 star. Would we come back? Probably not as I don’t think there is an awful lot in Benalmadena , I prefer Torremolinos as I feel there is a lot more there.

“Average hotel, good location”

Hotel is well located near all bars and restaurants and the beach is opposite, the hotel looks like it has had a refurb in the lobby and bar area. Rooms are very small especially if you are more than 2 not really for families,also no kettles or fridges which is disappointing.as this is a 3 star ho… more

Hotel is well located near all bars and restaurants and the beach is opposite, the hotel looks like it has had a refurb in the lobby and bar area. Rooms are very small especially if you are more than 2 not really for families,also no kettles or fridges which is disappointing.as this is a 3 star hotel that should just be a given in this day and age. Also we were put on floor number one which is a walk through for the entertainment area which is very noisy if you are not wanting to go there every night. Food is ok nothing special only ever Luke warm but always found something. If not McDonalds is opposite. If asked if id return to this place I would say probably not as it’s not really for families
