Benalmádena hotellia

Plussat: Outstanding buffet- many choices including gluten free, sweets, salmon, variety of cheeses, meats, breads, fresh fruit, cereals. Also hot foods, quiches, potatoes, eggs, crepes. You name it, they had it. Staff bent over backwards to make sure we had everything needed.

Miinukset: Nothing. Perfection.

Plussat: the food was amazing and the room was very comfortable and clean

Plussat: Kaikki oli hyvää.

Plussat: Täyden kympin "majatalo". Kaikki osa-alueet toimivat täydellisesti.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Proximity to the beach

Plussat: Everything!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Very quiet place in the middle of a season

Plussat: Beautiful boutique hotel overlooking the beach and promenade. The staff are wonderful, friendly yet professional. It's a small hotel. We went with our two kids who loved it but don't expect lots of facilities, it's a small pool but they enjoyed it as it was like having a private pool! The facilities are all around ie. down on the beach, along the promenade, 10 minute walk to the Aquarium which is fab, the cable cars, shops, cafes, all very buzzy around the hotel. A small touch of luxury amidst the beachfront!

Miinukset: The only thing that worried me was our room, which was a duplex which is great on one hand, as lots of room, but the stairs are marble and quite open, I was worried with kids up and down. I wasn't keen on letting my 9 year old sleep upstairs in case she tried to use the stairs in the night etc. I would have preferred a flat room on one level. It was very modern and lovely but the stairs were not good for kids or older people.

Plussat: Very friendly and attentive - home from home , so easy. wonderful staff.

Miinukset: Just the resort - but the wonderful hotel more than made up for that.

Plussat: Breakfast

Plussat: Upscale. Great staff. Brunch is excellent. Perfect location along the beach front. Access to fitness club across the street.

Miinukset: Touted in some reviews as great for kids, but facilities cater to adults and there are no special facilities or programs for kids.

Plussat: Jos on menossa Malagaan päin,ottakaa tämä hotelli.ette kadu

Plussat: Excellent Staff, always willing to help. Room service maids very efficient. Grounds and surrounding area very clean.

Miinukset: Cost of Gym & Indoor Pool

Plussat: the price was cheap, but actually I got what I paid for. my experience was horrible!

Miinukset: The Sahara Sunset Club property had 4 star reviews so I figured that I got a great price for a 4 star resort. I arrived and had trouble locating the place to check in. The lobby looked dingy and didn't look like the lobby of a 4 star hotel. After the guy at the desk told me which hotel I would be staying at and told me that the best way to get was to put the address in google maps. I was shocked. I travelled all this way to get to your hotel and now you tell me to use googlemaps to get to my bed? I told him I didn't want to use googlemaps. He gave me a map and told me to put a street my to reach my destination. He also told me that there is no parking. I went to the street he told me and could not find the hotel. I never found the Royal Mirage or a sign. I turned around and around in my car and asked several people where the hotel was. No one, EVEN TAXI DRIVERS knew where it was. Finally, after an hour I met a woman who told me that she has been selling timeshares in the area for 17 years. She said she lives there. She said she never heard of the hotel. I was on the verge of tears and exhausted after an hour of driving around. I had a flight out the next day and thought that I would to back to the desk, check out and sleep in my car all night. I went back up the street to the checkin desk, fighting back the tears. There was a woman at the desk. I told her I wanted to leave because I couldn't find the Royal Mirage. She said when her colleague came back he would get in the car and drive me to the property. She said that it was a long walk and there was no parking where the Royal Mirage is so that I should leave the car and bring my bags and we go on foot. I was toooooo exhausted to get in my car and look for another place to stay. They took me through a luggage room and put me in a musty smelling room behind the desk. If you give people a map make sure the address exists. I slept in my clothes and got out of there.

Plussat: The large balcony, the two pools and the ambiance of the complex.

Miinukset: The charge for pool towels. Yes, it was only 4 EUR a week but it seemed petty.

Plussat: Fantastic quiet location.ALL the staff were amazingly friendly and helpfull.Our room was very clean & relaxing with a great view and very quiet.A special mention from my wife and I has to go to Fanny the massage therapist this lady was brilliant at her job and so helpful with her advice.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing..so if you are looking for a very relaxing quiet place & area to stay that has great staff and great food then this is the place to stay.

Plussat: Sijainti, palvelu, ruoka , huoneisto ym.ym.

Plussat: Proximity

Miinukset: Room needs a refurbishment but was still neat and tidy

Plussat: Cleanliness, room size, swimming pool location and friendly staff

Miinukset: Not much choice of tv

Plussat: We loved everything - the apartment was so pretty with a great view and the whole resort was so beautiful and well maintained with lovely gardens and excellent pools. We especially loved the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was the best in the area and prices were reasonable for the quality. Really lovely, friendly, helpful staff in the restaurant and throughout the resort. Excellent option of warm croissants delivered to the apartment in the morning which were always on time and delicious!

Miinukset: The only tiny issue we had was that the seating around the pool did not offer enough shade. The umbrellas are very pretty but only ever offered one lounger enough shade. My boys love the pool (aged 9 and 13) but we found it a bit of a challenge to sit in the heat without cover for so long however, there was shaded area in the restaurant area which was great. Having a few really large portable umbrella's which could be offered to guests would be a great option.

Plussat: Sijainti oli hyvä, mutta silti rauhallinen. Hotellin respassa oli jopa suomea puhuvat asiakaspalvelija.

Plussat: Stayed for one night in double room. Staff on reception brilliant.Facilities and cleanliness were excellent above and beyond. Kitchen facilities amazing dishwasher washing machine everything you could ask. TV couldnt believe switched on and home from home BBC1. Balcony had sea view and was quiet. Would loved to have stayed much longer. Service in poolside restaurant was excellent the waiter wished I'd asked his name was the best. Benalmadena beach restaurants right there on doorstep. Well done.

Miinukset: Nothing excellent

Plussat: 2nd time staying there love the pool, staff are so helpful, location is perfect!

Miinukset: the only dislike I would have is the long trek to the room, got lost few times!

Plussat: Hotel grezt

Miinukset: We thought we would ov had a double bed instead of two singles we had to ask for towels when room was cleand

Plussat: We have stayed at this hotel before which is in a good location for various amenities. The hotel is excellent overall and we hope to return again in the future.

Plussat: Very good breakfast

Miinukset: Floor in shower was dangerous slippery.

Plussat: Hotel was lovely,very clean and good value for money. 5 minutes walk into center of town. Fab breakfast

Miinukset: Cleaners woke us up every morning

Plussat: Sijainti viihtyisässä Benalmadena Pueblossa: perinteinen ”valkoinen kylä” vuoren rinteessä. Majoituksemme oli erillisessä loft-asunnossa (yläkerta) pienen matkan päässä varsinaisesta hotellista. Vuoteet olivat aivan erinomaiset, riittävän leveät ja pehmeät olematta silti löysät - melkein kuin kotona olisi nukkunut.

Miinukset: Ajankohdan (helmikuu) huomioiden lämpöpumppu olisi voinut olla jonkin aikaa päällä ennen saapumistamme. Nyt asunnossa oli pitkään viileää saapumisemme jälkeen. Keittiön varustus oli todella niukka: koko ajan sai olla tiskaamassa, kun välineistö oli niin tarkkaan laskettu kahdella hengelle. Kun poikamme vieraili aterioimassa luonamme, välineitä ei oikein riittänyt edes kolmelle. Keittiössä oli kyllä monitoimiuuni, mutta ei ohjekirjaa(!?) joten ohjeita piti hakea netistä merkin ja mallin perusteella. Positiivisena mainintansa kerrottakoon, että törkyinen vedenkeitin vaihdettiin pyynnöstämme todella nopeasti. Suihkutilassa olisi voinut olla kumilasta veden pyyhkimistä varten.

Plussat: The room is really comfortable with the big terrace with nice view over the town. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Thank you!

Plussat: This hotel is real little gem, so clean, great breakfast we had an great stay will definitely be returning. Good village location very friendly

Miinukset: The staff are very friendly from the ladies who cleaned our rooms to breakfast ladies. Amazing value for money

Plussat: The room had a lovely balcony, it was large enough for two sunbeds, 2 comfortable chairs a table and a sun parasol. It also had a beautiful view of the old village and the sea.

Plussat: Staff was very nice and breakfast was lovely.

Miinukset: Just a little too far from the nightlife and shopping centers, perfect otherwise

Plussat: Ihanan idyllinen pieni kaunis hotelli. Todella puhdasta ja kaikin puolin siistiä. Hyvä sänky. Tyynyt vähän latteat. Merinäköala oli miellyttävä, vaikkei sijainti ole aivan rannalla. Henkilökunta oli miellyttävää, asiallista ja huomioonottavia. Aamupala oli oikein hyvä ja pöydistä tultiin ottamaan lämpimät ruoka tilaukset. Suosittelen ehdottomasti pariskunnille.

Plussat: Very good location and quiet. Staff very friendly. Room cleaned daily

Plussat: It’s such a pretty building. The balcony/terrace was stunning!

Miinukset: A bit restricted for parking but as are all the local streets

Plussat: We love Casa Rosa rooms are spotless and nothing is too much trouble for Raphael Rosa and the staff

Plussat: A quality experience. Fabulous and friendly owners. Incredible views. Peaceful. Spotless. We will definitely come back.

Plussat: Nice relaxing atmosphere and stunning views down to the sea.

Miinukset: 3rd time here. Disappointed that in a 4 star hotel the bar closes at 8pm, but I guess there are bars nearby to spend your money in...

Plussat: Just superb. Spa excellent

Miinukset: Better lighting in bathroom

Plussat: Beautiful views and setting. Very comfortable rooms. Discreet and helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.

Plussat: Lovely relaxed atmosphere, lovely rooms and views,great location and wonderful selection at meal times

Miinukset: Nothing I could find no faults

Plussat: The setting, the friendless and helpfulness of the staff. It was very central to lovely squares etc.

Miinukset: The stairs from lobby to lift. Difficult for people with mobility issues.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Kaikkesta

Miinukset: ?

Plussat: Siisti hotelli. Hieno paikka ja ympäristö.

Miinukset: Feria juhlan meteli kadulta kuului huoneeseen. Huoneen ilmastointi oli vaikea säätää sopivaksi. Liian kylmä.

Plussat: Amazing room and amazing food in the restaurant. Very relaxing hotel.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent and location amazing.more than exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back.

Plussat: Breakfast was great, room with a view a must, roof top terrace superb & fantastic views

Miinukset: Didn't get bath towels when requested, bath robes had holes in & need replacing. Bar was nearly always closed.

Plussat: Lovely views traditional hotel

Miinukset: Maybe a bit shabby in places and could be a little cleaner

Plussat: Room was recently renovated, within a month. The walk in shower was fantastic. Not sure if they’re all like this or part of new renovations but I will request the same room again...no I’m not telling you the number

Miinukset: Casino. I’m not a gambler and do not like the misery gambling emits. That said, it is not ‘in your face’ not freely accessible as you need to register entry etc and it is respectfully un-encouraged

Plussat: I love the many pools. Closeness to the beach and Benalmadena aquarium. Most importantly the fooooood!

Miinukset: Nothing. Loved loved everything! Can't fault it.

Plussat: Friendly service and lot of entertainment

Plussat: the breakfast was very good the room was a nice size with great views

Miinukset: staff not very hospitable

Plussat: I loved everything about this hotel extremely clean and comfortable fantastic food and lovely staff beautiful spa area great room 413 fabulous views and very spacious

Miinukset: I felt there could be more umbrellas for shelter from the sun the hotel only had a few dotted about this would be my only concern

Plussat: Fresh, food facilities, great for our children, staff were friendly

Miinukset: The room wasn’t cleaned properly daily used cups were not replaced, floor was not cleaned thoroughly but there are a huge numbers of rooms in the hotel.

Plussat: Really nice location and excellent facilities . Very comfortable and I would highly recommend the hotel to my friends The staff at reception were really very nice and very very helpful . I would go back to this hotel

Miinukset: No faults at all

Plussat: good - a lot of choice and good opening hours

Plussat: Beautiful suite, lovely large balcony overlooking the sea, watching the sunrise each day.

Miinukset: We loved everything

Plussat: Sänky hieman kova, sängyt erilliset ja liikkuivat paikoiltaan yön aikana.

Miinukset: Uima-altailla pitäisi olla valvonta ettei tuoleja varata ja pyyhkeet pois jonnekin mistä ne voisi sitten hakea omansa pois.Sääntöjä turha pitää jos niitä rikotaan.

Plussat: Puhdas ja tyylikäs. Hienot uima-altaat ja hyvä aamiainen

Plussat: Hieno uima-allas alue, aamiainen

Miinukset: Uima-allas kylmä, ei lämmitystä

Plussat: The breakfast was great quality excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was with a perfect location on the ground floor looking towards a small back garden. The sun never went in so the temperature was perfect even without air conditioning. The personnel was so co-operative in every aspect that we had no problem at all. The food was good though the variety wasn't as expected.

Miinukset: The wine list. There is a lot to be improved

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä.

Miinukset: Hotellin henkilökunnan käyhös arveluttavaa. Hotelliluokitus ei vastaa neljää tähteä. Korkeintaan kolme. Illallinen onneton. Onneksi en varannut puolihoitoa. Iltaisin kova meteli klo 21-23.30 huonojen artistien vuoksi ja äänieristyksen puutteen vuoksi. Kaikki naapurin toimet ja käytävien meteli kuului huoneeseen. Ei mistään ilmansuunnasta aurinkoa parvekkeelle, vaikka respassa niin sanottiin. Sängyt todella vanhat, eivätkä pysyneet yhdessä. Parisängystä puhumattakaan. Harmittaa sillä hotellien vertailuun käytettiin todella pitkään aikaa. Turhaan.

Plussat: It was situated in the best part of Belamadina.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Aamiainen monipuolinen ja tekivät munakkaan toivomuksien mukaisesti. Viinit kohtuuhintaiset illallisella ja tarjoilu ok. Huone siivottiin hyvin ja heti aamusta.

Miinukset: Illallisen liha- ja kalatarjonta oli melko vaihtelevan tasoinen. Jälkkäri herkullisia.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Noisy room location

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: A little bit dated

Plussat: Runsas, monipuolinen ja hyvä aamiainen

Miinukset: Huoneen ilmastointi ei toiminut. Yöllä kuuma eikä saanut nukuttua sen takia.

Plussat: The staff members were vert friendly and helpful. The hotel was very welcoming and the few special touches like the welcoming drink, etc made our custom seem valued.

Miinukset: Coffee after dinner - an Irish touch!

Miinukset: There was a noise coming from above the bathroom.

Plussat: Loved the location & cleanliness of the hotel

Miinukset: Only fault was pillows uncomfortable

Plussat: Restaurants..Beach...Very relaxing and clean if you want to stay by hotel pool..perfect for a break in October..

Plussat: The hotel was rated 4* but it exceeded that perfect location very clean staff very friendly and helpful great selection of food and good quality

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Perfect hotel in perfect location! Gorgeous facilities and views over the sea, would recommend a full sea view room! Staff were great, couldn't do more for you! We will be back! :-)

Plussat: Good location, good facilities, good accommodation, helpful staff. Excellent all round.

Plussat: Good view

Miinukset: Cleanliness and poor quality furniture and fittings

Plussat: Shower & bed excellent.

Miinukset: Everything satisfactory

Plussat: Hyvä, maukas ruoka, paljon vaihtoehtoja ja kauniisti esillä. Hyvät vuoteet ja vuodevaatteet, samoin parveketuolit. Upea kattoterassi. Mukavaa iltaohjelmaa. Loistava sijainti, bussipysäkit vieressä. Nettiyhteys toimi hyvin. Miellyttävä ilmapiiri.

Miinukset: Kolkko ruokasali. Metalliset, kylmät ja kovat kolisevat tuolit. Harva haluaa syödä illallista korkeilla jakkaroilla istuen. " Pehmeitä paikkoja" oli ruokasalissa liian vähän. Yöpöydät kovin pienet.

Plussat: All staff at this hotel were exceptional. Food was excellent. Cleanliness and service were superb.

Miinukset: Cant think of anything

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä. Olimme varanneet huoneiston, vesivahingon vuoksi siirryimme 7 kerroksen hioneeseen joka oli itseasiassa hyvä muutos.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli hieman suppea. Samaa huonolaatuista tuokavalinoimaa aamust toiseen.

Plussat: The front desk staff were so efficient the breakfast staff alsoabsolut

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: There were no atmosphere

Plussat: Lovely staff.

Miinukset: Needed earplugs to sleep as windows are not very good at keeping out sound.

Plussat: Very clean great staff very good Location. great view from the rooms Would definitely stay again.

Plussat: The location was fab lovely view over the beach. The breakfast was lovely and the hotel was exceptionally clean. The pool area and gardens were really nice, I would go back again. I was happy with the room.

Miinukset: I thought the bed was quite small. Also there was a misleading notice on the hotel wall inviting bed and breakfast guests to one nights complimentary evening meal. We booked a table and when we got there we were told it would cost 56 Euros so we left the restaurant it was a bit embarrassing.

Plussat: Sauna

Miinukset: Ulkoillaan kylmä

Plussat: I loved the location I would recommend it and I would certainly return.

Miinukset: I couldn't find fault with the hotel. There could be another English channel on the tv in the room.

Plussat: The view & location.

Miinukset: The sun loungers are in need of mattresses.

Plussat: Good hotel for a one week break. Very close to beach, buses, restaurants etc. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Food in the buffet restaurant can be a bit hit and miss some days but generally okay.

Plussat: lovely wide choice and variety

Miinukset: cleanliness of the bathroom when we arrived

Plussat: •It was close to the beach • free parking • huge pool area

Miinukset: •That it was a TUI operated hotel full of senior Brits. (Nothing against the brits) • have to pay €10 for 2 hours just to use the sauna/steam room. Steam room barely worked. • you could anytime someone closed there room door on your floor!

Plussat: Gorgeous big room, lovely terrace and pool area, excellent location with access to the beach, seafront from a dedicated lift, staff great, especially when I'd made a mistake with the dates we'd booked, and they extended our stay without any fuss.

Miinukset: The floorboards were creaky but this is me being ultra picky - gorgeous hotel which we booked at the last minute and which exceeded our expectations.

Plussat: Views, staff, location and food

Miinukset: Squeaky flooring and small lifts

Miinukset: Huone oli pienempi kuin Booking.comin esitteet (kuvat) antavat ymmärtää. Hotellissa on kahden kokoisia Superior huoneita, eri puolilla hotellia ja tämä oli se pienempi.

Plussat: Great overall hotel will definitely be back

Plussat: Hotel was very clean, rooms were nice, food good and a great spot close to the marina. Entertain was good too, didn't go on very late but we were after five days of peace and relaxation so suited us fine. If I go back to Costa Del Sol I would stay here again.

Miinukset: If I'm being picky I would have liked poached eggs for breakfast but that's hardly a fault.

Plussat: Small, Cosy, friendly and very clean All Facilities are present and clean The Spa is also Top! The staff is super!

Miinukset: A bit far to a Beach.

Plussat: Oma poreallas huoneessa, ystävällinen henkilökunta. Siisteys ylipäätään hotellissa.

Miinukset: Aamupala niukka

Plussat: Majority of it brilliant private hot tub was a good touch staff very friendly always helping

Miinukset: Location bit out of the way just need a taxi if you are looking to go for food or drinks

Plussat: Hotel was situated beautifully with panoramic views of the coastline and the hills. Glass walled foyer, staircase, restaurant and lounge area very interesting. Food, very tasty and served well. Mmmmm Liked the Jacuzzi too.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike.

Plussat: I liked that there is a private jacuzzi, and the pool was quiet so no problem getting a bed. Lovely breakfast and dinner too

Miinukset: Free access to the Spa would have been nice as it did say in my booking free Spa access.

Plussat: The attic jacuzzi

Miinukset: The bed was too soft

Plussat: I liked how it was peacful and not over crowded atall, always space around the pool to relax

Miinukset: All though the hotel was amazing the beds were really hard, so much so that none off us managed a good sleep during our four night stay

Plussat: Facilities, (private jacuzzi- hot tub- on the room's terrace) Wellness spa, location!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: The manager

Plussat: A bit of everything

Plussat: The staff! Wow wow wow!! Just great friendly amazing staff made our stay an complete experience!

Miinukset: Nothing! I loved it all

Plussat: It was very close to the beach. There is access from the pool using your keycard. The room is fairly standard. It has air conditioning, a balcony with table and chairs, TV (2 English channels), a safe, bathroom with shower, bath, hairdryer. It was quiet enough due to the time of year (End of September). Luggage storage space was handy as our flight was not until 23:30. We were also able to book in to use the showers by the pool after we had checked out (at no extra cost). Breakfast was good and had all the usual things. Fresh bread, eggs, cereals, fruit, yogurts, fried potatoes, sausage (of some kind).

Miinukset: The bar in the hotel by the pool. The cocktails are terrible. The staff disappear into a back room and then reappear with your cocktail seconds later. I'm guessing the cocktails are premade. I didn't enjoy any of the cocktails I got and was disappointed with the quality. The rest of the drink was fine. So go for beer, wine or a drink you can see them pour. Quality of the food in the restaurant was good for certain foods, but bad for others. Seafood and the freshly cooked food was great. However, the pizza cheese was like glue, lasagna & meatballs were disappointing. We chose to swap dinner for lunch, which you can do if you let them know the day before.

Plussat: Staff was very nice, pleasent and friendly, hotel it self was clean and nice. Program every evening, realy enjoyed our time there

Plussat: Food and drinks choices and the staff were great

Miinukset: All inclusive not explained very well just a firm in Spanish

Plussat: A good experience in Spain, the hotel is great, I do recommend it! View to the see!

Plussat: Peruskiva

Miinukset: Allasalueen baarissa oli välillä kohtuuttoman pitkä jonotusaika eli liian vähän työntekijöitä asiakkaita kohden

Plussat: Parvekkeelta avautuvasta merinäkymästä.

Miinukset: Pesulapalvelut puuttuivat täysin. Pyykit oli vietävä itse pesulaan ja haettava sieltä itse myös. Aafmiaisen maksullisuus oli niin ikään pettymys kalliiseen hotellihintaamme nähden.

Plussat: Breakfast was almost the same every day. Location was a little bit far from other restaurants and shops

Miinukset: Loation could have b

Plussat: The location is nice, close to different beaches but at 3 km away from the port area. The room was very comfortable and the staff was nice. The room and the pool area were very clean and it was very nice and quiet (maybe because we visited in October).

Miinukset: The food quality is low. The buffet if huge, with quite a lot of selection, but from all those choices there are very few which actually tasted good. We had breakfast and dinner at the location. I felt bad that I has to leave food on my plate at dinner and get another plate but I just couldn't finish some of the things I took due to the quality/taste. Dinner is at a decent price indeed (15 euros per person, no drinks included) but I suggest less selection and better quality, as we both had tummy aches for the first time in 3 weeks of vacation. Also, note that if you wish to enter the Spa, it is an additional 20 euros per couple. (the pool area is free though, and you can get a towel for a 10 euros deposit)

Plussat: The location of the hotel is excellent. The bus station is just outside the hotel and it only takes 2 minutes to reach the beach. The hotel has a lovely sea view from the balcony.

Miinukset: The pillows - i found the pillows very uncomfortable and could not use them. Otherwise all other facilities and cleanliness was good.

Plussat: Pool & bar, area hotel is in, sea view, food pretty good

Miinukset: Sometimes food a bit repetitive, breakfast not as good as it was on previous stay. Staff helpful although reception don’t speak great English. Also end of holiday my partner was very ill poss a sick bug or maybe due to food. Who knows, our room wasn’t greatly clean on walls there were yellow lumps and on bathroom walls so hence rating for clean. All other areas clean and lovely

Plussat: The BREAKFAST WAS VERY GOOD

Miinukset: I THINK THAT THE RESTAURANT SHOULD HAVE A LA CARTA AND NOT BUFFET BUT OTHERWISE EVERYTHING OKVERY ENJOY

Plussat: Great food,great staff .all round lovely hotel. Very helpful reception staff. We had a late checkout and we're able to use the spa shower at no extra cost. Only failure was no kettle for making coffee or tea. Come on best benalmandena. Get up to date with this.

Miinukset: Entertainment at night was a bit boring with the exception of one night.

Plussat: Aamupala oli monipuolinen Bussipysäkki lähellä

Miinukset: Kylpyhuoneessa haisi home, katosta rapisi maali suihkun yläpuolella. Siivous=sänkyjen petaus.

Plussat: Staff were great. Food lovely.

Miinukset: Kids should not be allowed in bar area after 11pm

Miinukset: Ei ole 4 tähden hotelli

Plussat: This was the second time in the same year that we came to Benalmadena Palace Spa. We just couldn't find a better value for money in the area, for a 4* spa. The hotel is only 20 minutes drive from Malaga Airport. We like the size of the one-bedroom apartment, the location is simply fantastic, the staff was very courteous and accommodating and we just had everything we could possibly want. Washing machines and driers are available (you need to purchase the respective tokens from reception - EUR4 for the washer and I think 3,50 for the drier) - very handy, as the humidity was a bit high. I just want to give a big thank you to the staff in the reservations office, who could extend our stay one more night (our flight was in the evening and we actually preferred to have the room one more night). It may be worth knowing that if you book directly with them, you can check out by 15:00 I think instead of 12:00 (and you also can get some discounts). We will definitely try to return in the future.

Miinukset: None of these are major issues, I'm only writing them here to possibly help someone else adjust their expectations. Our room had low water pressure (which didn't bother us enough to even bring it up to the management) and there were some issues with water leaking through the shower cabin (which were very promptly resolved once we mentioned the matter). The back gate to the path that leads to the beach was blocked at one point, so we had to go around and climb the hill on the front entrance side - as I for one can actually use some exercise, this wasn't at all a big deal and the management had already sent someone to repair the gate lock... Our room was on the 6th floor this time and there was a constant vibration in the headboard of the bed - no big deal, just do expect it if you're in room 611 ^.^ - we just found it funny and actually called it the "purring cat".

Plussat: Very nice hotel, nice staff, nice food. Indoor pool was a bonus. Weather was a real plus - only down side was the location. 150m up a hill. Not an issue for the younger, maybe a problem if you’re a bit older. Wouldn’t stop me booking again

Plussat: Amazing place so clean and staff were so helpful

Plussat: Location is really good, mind you hotel is up the small hill so anyone with mobility issues or low fitness level might find it challenging. Rooms were clean and bed were comfortable.Great choice for breakfast. There also courtesy rooms available and you can use all the facilities after you checked out. Overall nice place.

Miinukset: I expected a little bit more off 4 star accommodation. Rooms were relatively small and the ones we had were located on the 6th floor. The bed is located in this alcove with attiq type angled ceiling and to get to the wardrobe you have to go around the bed and do your absolute best to get there without banging your head (and I'm only 5.5 =1.67).

Plussat: Sofa bed poor. Not easy to fold away therefore lost room and seating Lack of china/glasses not enough for role in room Air conditioning poor

Plussat: Check in was quick and easy without any problem as was check out, reception staff were helpful. Pool area had enough sun beds to go around and was well maintained.

Plussat: This was our second visit to Benalmadena place this year we love it. Pools are spotless food is excellent and the entertainment staff are brilliant our 3 year old loved the nightly mini disco. Rooms are spotless and cleaned throughout your stay. We will be back.

Miinukset: Hotel is on a hill but it is worth it for everything they provide. There is a free bus that brings you into town from the hotel but we walked in and out no problem.

Plussat: Indoor and outdoor pool. Free use of sauna and steam room

Miinukset: Hill to get to hotel

Plussat: Lot’s of entertainment for kids & adults Good quality of food Nice Indoor & outdoor pools

Miinukset: Room was not good cleaned, after talk to reception was better. Rooms little bit dated. Every morning around 7 am lot’s of noise by trucks emptying containers, at rooms sideline sea view.

Plussat: The Room was spacious and the kitchenette was helpful for the baby. Staff were lovely very welcoming

Miinukset: My room was located in the far end of the hotel hard to get to dinner and breakfast with the baby as most access were blocked off and had to keep going in through the pool or bar with all the smokers. Food was low quality for a 4* expected better to be honest

Plussat: Lots of facilities, great for kids

Miinukset: Rooms need to be refurbished

Plussat: The bed was great and the facilities are great for children! There are so many pool options and the beach club looks amazing! Love the elephants!

Miinukset: The food wasn't great but I put that down to trying to cater to English palates. There was always something nice but not a great variety. Had we have been staying for longer than 4 days we may have gotten a bit bored!

Plussat: The food was very good.

Miinukset: The view from my room

Plussat: Very clean and bright buildings , large room, good facilities, meals very good with large selection to choose from, staff helpful and polite , lots to do. Enjoyed being able to have drinks and snacks by the pool with the all inclusive holiday choice. Location good.

Miinukset: Beds too hard for me as I like a softer mattress. Disappointed in the American burger restaurant, staff did not seem to care about the customers, as it was supposed to be a bit more special and sadly it was not. The normal restaurant was great.

Plussat: The facilities were excellent

Miinukset: The gym a lot of equipment was not working

Plussat: balcony is wonderful

Miinukset: breakfast is terrible, odd taste

Plussat: Clean..organized ...amazing for kids

Miinukset: The staff in the occean club weren’t professional

Plussat: Food was excellent for a buffet style with lots of options.

Miinukset: The timings of some of the food was a little rigid.

Plussat: Sijainti oli erinomainen, huone siivottiin päivittäin ja aamiainen oli ihan ok.

Miinukset: Huoneessa ei ollut ikkunaa tai ovea ulos. Ilma huoneessa oli huono, ilmastointilaite ei toiminut.

Plussat: Location, very clean, lovely breakfast, near lots of great restaurants and cafes

Plussat: I knew it was one star when I booked but didn’t expect such a tiny room with a view of another window in front of me that could see into my room. The curtains had to remain closed.

Miinukset: I had to check into La Fonda to get my room in La Posada so the hosts didn’t know who I was at breakfast, they didn’t acknowledge me once, no eye contact or greetings of any sort.

Plussat: Nice Central location in Old Town. Room very clean. Breakfast one of the best I have had on holiday in a B and B

Miinukset: They had double booked us but they did provide a very good alternative

Plussat: Clean and basic but good value for what we paid.

Miinukset: The property was fine but could have done with tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Location, too many stairs for older people, no parking facilities nearby. Breakfast was very minimal, flies hovering around, chipped cups etc etc. My husband is 85 and I am 73 it was totally inappropriate. There were elderly people there who were in wheelchairs - flights of stairs to get up to their room, they were told there was a lift!!

Plussat: The Breakfast is very good. The Rooms are clean and the location is superb.

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen

Miinukset: Ei uima-allasta

Plussat: Clearness. Location. The choice of breakfast items was very good ..just an all round beautiful hotel..

Miinukset: It was a little noisy early morning,cleaners .etc

Plussat: Location was excellent and the breakfast was superb

Miinukset: When we arrived the apartment had no kettle not enough bath towels there was 3 and we were a party of 4 No iron or toiletries

Plussat: We found it difficult to find the hotel with the car as the street is pedestrianised in the evening. I also didn’t know that we had to check in at the reception of a fairly nearby hotel as we arrived later in the evening. But everyone was very helpful. And it’s amazing value with a super breakfast included.

Miinukset: A better explanation of the where’s outs of the car park

Plussat: I had the ground floor room which the bathroom was adapted for disabilities. Very clean and more than adequate size. Good location.

Miinukset: Had no reason to not like anything.

Plussat: This hotel was better than 5star hotels I have stayed in.Small quiet hotel and perfect for a weekend away in a typical Spanish village. The staff were very helpful and they now serve a buffet breakfast at the hotel for 4 euros.

Plussat: Very clean, recently renovated, decent quality for its price...

Plussat: rooms very clean comfortable and quiet, huge beds. kettle provided in the room- a rarity in spain.Staff very friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for a quiet break, but a car is essential.

Miinukset: rooms a little on the small side,water only tepid in the morning. the only parking was some way from the hotel. No public rooms available at time of our stay

Plussat: Very nice and quiet location in the village of Benalmádena. The family running the hotel was very helpful during our stay and provided us with information about the available hotels and beaches in/near Benalmádena. The room was quite spacious and the bathroom easily accessible with a wheelchair.

Miinukset: Just as a note to disabled persons: The ramp at the entrance is too steep for disabled persons in a wheelchair traveling alone. I managed to climb it once by myself with a certain amount of momentum and without a backpack. If you are not traveling alone this should be no problem.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, very clean and comfy.

Miinukset: Not good location for beach visiting if no car. About 20-30 mins walking.

Plussat: The decor is fab, table tennis etc, great idea. Very clean and it's a great hotel in a fab location by the port

Miinukset: That it cost 1€ for ice at the bar

Plussat: great location near the marina. local store near by. Close to the beach. Nice pool area with two pools and pool bar serving good food.

Plussat: Clean, new amenities

Plussat: Nothing bad to say about this hotel !! Very clean ! Very friendly ! Food good ! Accommodate gluten free ! Location perfect !

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja avuliasta.Aamiainen oli hyvä ja runsas mm paljon hedelmiä. Uima-allasalue oli mukava ja aina löytyi hyvin tilaa lepotuoleista ja uima-altaasta. Huone oli hyvä ja sänky leveä ja hyvä nukkua. 12 krs oli upeat näkymät merelle ja rantakadulle. Oli aika hauska, että hotellin sisäpihalla oli iltaisin elokuvaesityksiä ja tarjoiltiin popcorneja.

Miinukset: Itse en pitänyt hotellin oleskelutiloissa sisällä käytetyistä tuoksukynttilöistä, koska aiheutti minulle päänsärkyä ja hengenahdistusta. Sisätilat kyllä muutoin oikein viihtyisät: useita kivoja oleskelutiloja ja mm paljon kirjoja luettavaksi.

Plussat: Great location, great facilities, spotlessly clean.

Miinukset: Tends to attract large male groups which can be a little roudy & noisy.

Plussat: Very clean and modern. The bed was large and really comfortable. Excellent location. Staff were friendly

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: First of all, big thanks to Jose and Antonio who made me and my fiance feel very welcome on our mini break. Food is really good and a great buffet selection (make sure to ask for paella). Location is perfect i.e close to bars, restaurants and the beach plus marina is beautiful. I advise to go on a boat trip as I personally think this completed our holiday perfectly. 2 pools and 2 Jacuzzis which were very cold at first but once you're in, its fine... All in all, such an amazing experience and would love to do it again.

Miinukset: Not the hotels fault as we got there early but really wish the rooms were ready but this is not really a fault against the hotel tbh and they did let us put our stuff in a room and use the hotels facilities i.e pool while they sorted it out. Jacuzzi was cold but was ok once you got into it ha.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very poor and not value for money.

Plussat: Excellent location,very clean and bright throughout

Miinukset: Noisy Air-Con,not a major problem though

Plussat: Great breakfast, view from room was great. Location was perfect, 5 minutes walk from the marina. Plenty of beds and seats around pool areas. Excellent hotel

Miinukset: WiFi connection dropped out quite a lot

Plussat: Aamiainen oli sama koko ajan: kakkuja, vetistä munakokkelia, salaattia, juustoja ja leikkeileitä. Vaihtuvuus oli 0. Kahvikoneet joka ikinen aamu reistailivat, henkilökunnan joutui vetämään paikalle hihasta.... mustaa teetä oli vaikea löytää (sitä sitten kaiveltiin kaapista). Olimme hotellissa 10 yötä, lopussa söin enää maustamatonta jogurttia ja vesimelonia, muu ei enään vaan uponnut.

Miinukset: Respan asiakaspalvelusta. Tympeää, välinpitämätöntä, huomaamatonta. Eivät kostaa tervehtineet/huomanneet hotelliin mennessä. Meillä oli auto vuokralla ja autopaikka hotellista. Puomi aukesi torvea soittamalla; usein joutui melkein nojaamaan torveen, ei reaktioita. Kun kävelin paikan päälle sitten sanomaan, että haluaisimme ajaa ulos, niin respa selkeästi tiesi, että siellä oltiin oltu, koska tokaisi, että niin te haluaisitte ajaa ulos (ennen kuin ehdin edes mitään sanoa).

Plussat: The breakfast was nice and lots of choice and the reception area looks great.

Miinukset: We booked a suite and the pictures must have been taken a long time ago, very care worn. There was nothing in the room to tell you about breakfast timing etc, couldnt even contact the reception because there wasnt any guidance on the phone. I paid a lot of money to stay at this place and when I asked for an iron they asked for a deposit and didnt even give us an ironing board, just an iron. Not the level of service I expect for the money that we paid.

Miinukset: Lovely hotel and staff but I was disappointed that it was not clear from the booking that I was not at the holiday village which is what I was led to believe I was booking.

Plussat: The facilities for the children

Miinukset: The food was of mediocre quality and often cold. The room was dusty upon arrival. The lighting in the bedroom was inadequate for reading

Plussat: The resort itself is beautiful and has great facilities

Miinukset: Staff were rude on multiple occasions and upset my toddler which impacted our holiday in a negative way. They told us we couldn’t have a boat in the pool it was for rubber rings only, bare in mind the inflatable boat was less than half the size of the rings which was really upsetting having to explain to a 2 year old they can’t use it. When we booked we wasn’t aware that the splash park wouldn’t be doing food on the last few day’s of our holiday and when we queried it they looked at us like we were thick and saud well it’s there on your check in information. I asked to book a picnic meal to take over and they said you can’t take food from here over there! I found this extremely poor. Especially when all they sold at the splash park was hot dogs or pizza. They had also ran out of a lot of The ice creams. We saw a number of toddlers crying over this. Was very disappointing.

Plussat: Victor at reception was so helpful and correct in his information sharing about hotel facilities ect...while other staff were complacent and rude...housecleaning staff were so lovely and helpful ...very clean... we will come back again.

Miinukset: As above

Plussat: Great hotel and facilities, especially for children.

Miinukset: Food was good, however there were long queues to wait for the buffet.

Plussat: Huone oli hiljaisen sijainnin ja lähes olemattoman asiakasmäärät vuoksi hyvä nukkua. Aula on hyvin vaikuttava ja tyylikäs.

Miinukset: Ruoka oli nipinnapin keskitasoa, lisäksi astiat olivat ajoittain likaisia. Samat roskat ja tahrat olivat koko lomamme ajan käytävien lattioilla. Ensimmäisenä päivänä kun menimme lounaalle huomasimme uima- allasta kiertävän aitauksen ja siinä useampi lappu joka kertoi sen olevan suljettu. (Minulla on tästä valokuva puhelimessa, en vaan osaa siitä sitä siirtää että voisin sen teille lähettää) allasaita avattiin kuulemma satunnaisesti. Tämä oli suuri pettymys ja siitä teille laitoin heti viestin)

Plussat: I bring my daughter here every year and she absolutely loves it, great place to go with kids, kids club, bowling, mini spa, arcade, mini disco, aqua park and brilliant friendly staff. If you have little ones this place is a must. We will be back next year

Miinukset: Buffet can be a bit tedious when the hotel is busy

Plussat: All the animals in the hotel and the water feature. The hotel is very grand with some fantastic views from certain parts of the hotel. Rooms were very spacious and we would definitely go back! The breakfast Buffett was great too lots to choose from.

Miinukset: The beds are quite hard, and it’s a shame that if you are not all inclusive you have to go out for food you can only buy bar snacks in the day and go out at night but it’s fairly close to benalmadena and fuengirola so you have plenty of choice.

Plussat: The All Inclusive food and drinks are superb! Incredibly clean, the hotel is massive! It even has a bowling alley, staff are excellent - taxis easy to obtain. This is a very, very good hotel - we were all impressed.

Plussat: Ruoka oli hyvää ja sitä oli paljon tarjolla. Huone oli siisti ja tilava. Sänky oli valtava. Vesipuisto ja hotellin oma uima-allas oli viihtyisä ja pienillekin lapsille sopivia. Hotellissa hienointa oli, kun siellä oli lintuja, kilpikonnia, kaloja ja vesiputouksia sisätiloissa. Lapset jaksoivat ihastella niitä päivästä toiseen. Pihalla oli lapsille pieni leikkipuisto, sekin oli mukava. Hotellissa oli myös oma kauppa, josta sai ostaa leluja, ruokaa, juomaa, matkamuistoja, vaatteita ja aurinkovoidetta. Kaupan hinnat eivät olleet ihan mahdottomat. Hotellissa olisi ollut biljardipöytiä, keilausta ym, mutta emme ehtineet niitä kokeilla. Tarjolla oli myös lastenhoitopalvelu.

Plussat: I booked a “all inclusive” room. The room is clean, and it’s big enough for 2 adults and 1 kind. The show is very nice, and my child like all the shows. The swim pool and the beach club is very good.

Miinukset: The buff restaurant is so so. The lobby is hot. The WiFi and safety box need extra cost, I didn’t notice it before.
