Best Benalmadena

Stayed 5-9 July in room 333. Hotel could be doing with updating rooms however they are very clean. We had lovely sea & pool view, had hair dryer, Cleaned daily, air con was good. Restaurant was nice bright & airy, great selection of food to suit even fussy eaters. Pool bar was great the staff were all lovely, we were based on All inclusive & were impressed with selection of drinks on offer as usually only local drinks but did include absolute & Smirnoff which was great. Also San Miguel beer but if you wanted bottle bud it was only €1, or for example a Jack Daniel’s it was €2. Good selection of snacks included also and made to order so always fresh. And ice creams/lollys all included also. Entertainment was ok. Entertainment staff were good too. The pool is quite small for size of hotel however they have a smaller pool too and we never struggled for sunloungers. We travelled with family 8 of us for my brothers 50th birthday and we would all return to hotel. Had an amazing stay.

Great hotel with spacious rooms and good food

The hotel is in a quiet area overlooking the sea, approximately 2 miles from the harbour. To get to the beach there is a slope down either via the front of the hotel or from the pool area. someone with poor mobility could find this difficult. The hotel staff were lovely and extremely helpful. The hotel was clean with a nice reception , bar and pool area. We did not use the gym or the spa. The rooms we had were clean but dated ,you can pay for a kettle tea and coffee for your room.Pool towels are available for a deposit. Our room over looked the sea and the outdoor entertainment area, the entertainment stoped a a reasonable time. The dining area was clean nicely set out and flowed very well . The meals were varied and plentiful, I am vegetarian and found that a lot of the dishes near the salad area had either fish or meat added to them but I found the stir fry cooked fresh for each person fantastic. For breakfast the choice for both myself and my husband was very good. I would certainly consider returning again.

Writing review on behalf of my parents. They stayed at this hotel 26th June onwards for 1 week. 2 nights into the holiday my Mam was severely ill with sickness and diarrhoea for 3 days and then a further bout 2 days later. They only ate at the hotel, so cannot say it was from outside the hotel. This absolutely ruined their holiday. Thankfully my Dad went to the chemist straightaway to get anti sickness and electrolytes, the chemist was really helpful and I truly believe if my Mam had not had the medication she would have ended up in hospital. Please take note of all reviews with this sickness bug, it’s horrendous and clearly an issue with hygiene/food safety at the hotel.

This hotel was perfect for two of us 💕 We went with the all inclusive board and do not regret at all Constant snacks available all day (chips, nuggets, crisps, burgers etc) however some products (pizza, redbull) are not included which is a shame. The hotel is spotless and not one thing i could fault in terms of housekeeping, fresh towels every day (some hotels have made us reuse towels before) The rooms are all facing the water, we panicked as we got the side sea view and thought it would be poor but we were facing directly the sea. The dinner theme changes every night but there is plenty of standard food available if you are picky or have small children The hotel is also very peaceful, the hotel does not allow any foul play which is good as a stagparty came in and was being roust and the hotel manager put a stop to it straight away before I had the chance to complain Cocktails are delicious and so much entertainment through the day and night, music is played through the day(some Spanish and some like Michael Jackson, Bruno mars) There is also lots to do for young kids (There is day beds which you need to pay extra for)
