Benalma Hotel Costa del Sol

Cracking hotel, superb location. The views from this hotel are great, from the pool to the Lobby bar to the restaurant. Staff are good . Its a 50 minute walk into Benalmadena center and Marina , which is gorgeous. Or £7.50 in a taxi or £2 on bus number 120 .The roof top sun bed and jacuzzi area is lush. The pool areas are also very good . Food every day good choice and plenty of it . Would highly recommend .

Lovely hotel & staff. Stunning views. Food was below average. Dining area was short staffed table not cleared & people looking for tables. Rooftop bar was expensive...even when all inclusive should really be a bit cheaper. Hotel is very secluded. There are better hotels bearer the town centre.

The location was slightly out of the town approx a 10 min taxi ride and there was not much in the immediate location of the hotel so if you like to be able to wonder out of the hotel to local shops and restaurants this hotel would not be for you. Overall I can not fault the hotel cleanliness, staff and food, the pools do not open till 10am and close at 6pm prompt but it does tell you this in the hotel information. The adults only pool was not as nice as the family pool as it was contained in a very small area, although travelling as 3 adults we only used this pool on our first day and then moved to the family pool. The negatives are that the cocktails which it states in the hotel information are included in the all inclusive package are not the same as the ones you get if you are on a half or full board package, all inclusive receive the pre-made ones out of the machine as opposed to the staff made ones you receive if you are half or full board (if you want them made you have to pay for them as extra) which it does not state this in the hotel details. Also on check out at 12 they cut off your wrist bands so if you have a late flight on the last day you can not use the all inclusive package after 12, you therefore have to pay extra if you want to use it, we paid for 5 nights and arrived at the hotel late on day 1 therefore as we had a late flight back on the last day although we paid for 5 days we only received 4.5 days of all inclusive.

“Just returned from a fantastic 7-night all-inclusive stay at Hotel Benalma Costa del Sol and we had an amazing time. The food choices throughout our stay were excellent, with plenty of variety every day, and the selection of branded drinks on the all-inclusive package was really impressive. Our room was spotless and maintained to a very high standard throughout the week. What really made the holiday special though was the staff — every single member of staff we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommended

This hotel has been very good. I have seen various negative reviews which I just don’t get. ( I think that’s just people) staff have been so nice and work really hard for us holiday makers. The rooms are really clean as well. I did ask for a high room and the accomdating with my booking room 805. I want to personally thank a few people I have met on my short stay- Ana and Leo who have w/o serving love drinks to us at the Lobby bar. I so appreciate your hard work. The entertainment team are so fun! Love the games you have provided. Including the runny along the carpet in the pool! The great great team behind the pool bar ( Mely and Vicky and ismael)) you all work so hard and never a problem. Always happy for a little chat😁. The staff are in the restaurant are great and the food has been really good. ( negative reviews- are they just fussy ungrateful people?) Thank you for all the staff. And reception too. Very official. Continue this great service. I want to end this revue with much appreciation. Definitely looking to pop over again to a great place. Too much negative reviews. I want to end with a big thank you.
