Hotel Benalma Costa del Sol

Benalmadena|1.88km from Plaza Espana Benalmadena
We visited 3rd to 13th July with Jet2 Holidays, if we return we would get a private taxi to hotel, 20 mins versus an hour + on the bus. Check in nice and straight forward, reception is decorated to a high standard and is on the 8th floor( street level) , hotel has 12 floors, beach and pools being 1st floor and buffet restaurant on 7th floor. Room spacious enough only gripe was lack of hangers, around 8 of them between 2 adults …take a few of your own. Room cleaned daily and if you want towels changed drop them all in the bath to ensure you get fresh ones. Buffet restaurant was lovely , beautiful view of the ocean from the 7th floor. Yes there was repetition but food was always hot and the salad bar plentiful with choice, staff constantly monitored the stations wiping clean the smallest drip or spill. Drinks service was relaxed but once you got know the waiting staff they often remembered your drinks choices and appreciated us making an effort with attempts at Spanish even just a please and thankyou goes a long way, big thankyou to Cosme Rodreguez who greeted everyone with a big smile 😃 and was very attentive no matter how busy his section was. We used the BThai ala carte once as it unfortunately only opens Thursday to Sunday and had a lovely meal. We had the option to have an ala carte lunch at la Bonita beach restaurant however the temp was 35-40 degrees due to heatwave so we opted for the air conditioned buffet instead. We used the beach during the day and had to pay 14 euros for 2 loungers with padded cushion and parasol each visit, with 3 days to go a section was cordoned off with signs for use by hotel Benalma only, the people who owned them then covered the signs with paper and explained they were waiting for the hotel to sign a contract for them, so we had to continue to pay the same lady for the rest of the stay, would be great if the beach loungers were free for hotel guests rather than the add expense. Hotel Beach bar close to beach front and again staff were always polite and again remembered drinks choices, a big shout to Adrian Sederno who’s English was perfect but genuinely appreciated our pigeon Spanish 😃. Overall couldn’t fault the Hotel and can see us returning in the future.

Hostal Sol y Miel
4.1/560 Reviews
Excellent location situated within 5 minutes walk from Arroyo’s train station. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful and check in was very easy. Continental breakfast possibly a bit limited but there are plenty of places nearby to get a wider range of breakfasts. Hostel overall was very clean and tidy, bar well stocked but obviously priced as any hotel. Room was spacious, clean and quiet and we were fortunate to get a balcony overlooking Blas Infante, so great to sit and people watch with a coffee. Would definitely return.

What a fantastic place! Really enjoyed our stay here, the apartment was very spacious and was perfect for me and my family. The place was clean and organized and all you needed was left in room i.e. cutlery, iron, pots and pans etc. We had an amazing sea view from our balcony too. Staff were very helpful and friendly, breakfast was fantastic with lots of options. Overall very happy and will definitely return!

Estival Torrequebrada
4.2/541 Reviews
We spent a week here in the hotel with my girlfriend. Staff was friendly, cheerful and always ready to help, including the cleaners and the buffet staff. It didn't matter that our English wasn't very good, we still got good customer service. We also received extra blanket in our room upon request. The room was good size and was cleaned very well every day. The balcony had an amazing view of the sea and the mountains. Soundproofing of the rooms wasn't the best; we could hear, for example, when someone in the next hotel room went to the toilet. However, it didn't bother us, we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. We had an all-inclusive trip, which means we got breakfast, lunch and dinner on behalf of the hotel. The food was absolutely insane and there was plenty of it! There was so much food every day that you couldn't even collect everything to taste what you wanted. We liked that every day the dinner theme changed and every day there were slightly different dishes. Still, there were always such classic favourites (like pizza). Dessert offerings were also fantastic. There was something for everyone. You can easily walk to the beach from the hotel and it wasn't a long walk to the center of Benalmadena either. We also tried using the Wolt app for the first time and ordered rides further away from the hotel & back to the hotel. That worked great too. However, I came up with a couple of criticisms. We couldn't find a way to the indoor swimming pool and no one really knew how to get there. That's why we didn't try it. This wasn't a big loss, but a shame nonetheless. Since we booked an all inclusive trip, I heard that we should obviously have been given wristbands from reception when we arrived at the hotel, to prove that we are all inclusive. For example, only those who booked an all-inclusive trip could order drinks in the buffet dining, not others. However, we weren't given such wristbands and didn't immediately know how to ask about them, we arrived at the hotel late at night and we were tired. The next morning we went to breakfast and got those drinks, but we still didn't have those wristbands. Only after breakfast we went to reception to ask if we should have wristbands (we saw that many people had them) and then we got them. Mostly I was thinking that if you couldn't get drinks without a wristband, why were we able to get those drinks even though we didn't have wristbands to begin with? Does anyone from the staff keep an eye on who gets drinks? Overall, the experience was otherwise wonderful and we would come back anytime. I highly recommend! We came in February before the general winter holidays, it was a suitable time because it was surprisingly quiet in the hotel.
Holiday World Resort
4/550 Reviews
We visited the Holiday World resort end of May/June. On arrival we were impressed with the swift check in. As we had arrived at 9pm the hotel had kindly left us plates of food in our fridge in case we were hungry. We stayed in room 531 and had a fabulous view of the pool and the sea. The rooms are spacious and are equipped with a kitchen, large bathroom with separate bath and shower, front room with sofa bed and large bedroom. There was access to the large balcony area from both the front room and bedroom. Food is your usual All Inclusive. There was always plenty, everything was constantly replenished and the staff in the restaurant are brilliant and clearing plates or getting you a table quickly when you walk in. We enjoyed the food and always found something delicious to eat. We also booked both the Italian and Burger restaurants at the resort. The food at both was amazing and the waiters and waitresses can’t do enough for you. The pool is good and there are lots of brilliant activities run by the entertainment team. The lifeguards are very observant and constantly checking everyone is safe. Plenty of sun beds and shade if needed. The snack bar around the pool has all the usual hot and cold food along with ice cream and cakes. You can also purchase crisps and branded ice creams from the bar. The daily entertainment includes a pool party, quizzes, bingo and various inflatables for the children to have a go on. The Waterpark was fun and the kids enjoyed going there. You can hire large rubber rings for the water slides. The restaurant there is also plentiful. The evening entertainment is fabulous for the kids. The team are very friends, enthusiastic and energetic which keeps the children happy. There are different parts of the evening from the Widgets, PTY, dancing, quiz's and an evening show! It’s all based on the outdoor theatre and with the visual screen laying makes it very engaging. We went to the beach and hired some very luxurious sun beds with thick cushions and a towel for €12 and worth every penny! Overall this holiday was for kids and to keep them entertained which is exactly what it did. It is a clean, bright resort with food and drink available all day. We love our stay and would definitely return.
Benalmadena Palace Spa
4.2/568 Reviews
Lovely hotel, very clean and modern apartment. Unfortunately we were located above the ventilation for the laundry/technical room so not a minute day or night that didn't sound like we were next to a factory! We were in room 515 and really this room and the rooms above and below should be blocked off. Not only the constant noise but various smells, some nice....washing, some not so great.....school dinners! We did ask to move rooms immediately but only 2 rooms with small double beds were offered and we liked the large twin beds. Would definitely stay again but only if we could guarantee to be away from the ventilation system. The only other issue... we fancied eating dinner in the restaurant one evening. On arrival, we asked if there were vegetarian options as it's a buffet. The guy told us to go to the snack bar! Overall a great place for a holiday, just not in room 515!
