On arriving there was a terrible sour smell which we later realised was from the big bins to the left of reception.It was there every day.The reception area is large and clean with lovely ocean views.The staff very nice too. We were on the top floor,known as 'A' on the lift buttons. Our room was 1203. Nothing wrong with it, large, clean, plenty of storage and hangers,toiletries in the bathroom, balcony with views of sea, road,mountains. The bed was one of the best I ve ever slept on and so big. Down side to this room..a terrible stagnant smell in the bathroom,but only at certain times of day, early morning and during the night was worse..it took my breath and made me heave. Also the sound of the lift all the time and behind the corridor opposite our room I think there was some kind of boiler room..humming noise all the time. The lifts were good, a long wait sometimes though. Breakfast very good, lots of choice, plenty of sunbeds too although people were out there at silly times to get a good position. Music sometimes noisy,so move away from pool/ bar area. Very nice restaurant close by,plus 2 more over the road,next to the fabulous supermarket. Bus stop outside reception takes you to the centre of Benalmadena..and the lovely marina. Great walk back on the seafront..takes around 40 minutes. All in all..Happy with the hotel.
