Benalmadena
This marvellous holiday complex is situated in Benalmadena Costa. It lies approximately 10 minutes away from Fuengirola by public transport, and is only 15 km away from Málaga Airport. The property is surrounded by vegetation creating the tranquillity that makes it ideal for a stress-free getaway. The most outstanding element is unquestionably the variety of leisure options, with activities designed for all ages and tastes. The outdoor pool area will be certainly everyone’s favourite. Various health and beauty treatments are provided for visitors who wish to feel refreshed. The rooms are perfectly decorated to create a comfortable atmosphere and make each stay the most pleasant and unforgettable one.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

Costa Del Sol!
Stayed here recently as a family of 3! Hotel is slightly isolated so we hired a car to get out and about! Very impressive lobby area in the hotel and we were on the 3rd floor. Very decent size room with kitchen area and fridge freezer. Air con was good throughout our stay and the balcony was large! Food was decent all week. The Beach Club is a fantastic part of the resort which is a short bus ride away. The bus was excruciatingly hot before they decided an open top bus was a better idea! One thing I would say is that the tv’s throughout the hotel are in desperate need of an upgrade. We were there during the World Cup and watching on a twenty odd year old LG 32 inch in standard definition wasn’t ideal! Other than that I would recommend the hotel for a young family!

Excellent family hotel
6 adults , 7,6,4,3 just returned. Was but apprehension after reading some reviews but we had a brilliant time. Staff are so helpful and lovely , animation team brilliant with kids. Mimi disco was a hit and we enjoyed the shows. Rooms very clean , yes there are ants but we kept outer door shut and no food lying about so no issue. Great 2 individual beds with pull out sofa , great shower and kettle and fridge handy. Food , as ex catering manager fully under the issues of feeding such large numbers. We had 2 vegetarians with us and there was a good choice of meals and staff willing to make something if we requested in advance. The variety of food was really good , ok not as hot as I like but buffet food is difficult to get piping hot. Microwave is there. Would say to take thermal cup for your tea , cups are tiny . We used the bowling , great value at 3 euros each. Kids loved the arcade , bingo , turtles , pool games and slush puppies ( pay 4 euros for long tube and get free refills all holiday. Went to beach club twice , lots of pools and wee water slide. The bus up and down to it is a godsend in the heat , runs every 10 mins. Hotel pool good for small kids as big shallow end. Best of no sun bed wars , pool not open till 10 never struggled for beds. Location bit far out but buses at bottom of hill and really cheap. Our kids so happy at the complex only left twice for Biopark and trio to marina.

Great service! Perfect holiday. Especially Mame! What a guy
Great for kids but with some big negatives
Our second visit to this hotel. It is great fun for kids and the beach club is very good. It’s a kids dream! The hotel itself is lovely spacious and modern and rooms good. We arrived on 20 July so just outside school holidays and were unable to find any free sun loungers around the hotel pool during our stay apart from on the first evening. The non adjustable back sun loungers are not comfortable anyway - they have a lie down fixed setting only. The all inclusive food was average. The real negatives are the very limited range of drinks available on all inclusive. The cocktails are watery fruit flavoured premixed liquid (even the pina colada was a yellow clear liquid!) which we found undrinkable. We ended up buying some Guinness and drinkable beer/cider from hotel shop which is very disappointing after the cost of this all inclusive trip. Snack bar by the pool - again nothing to rave about. The toilets by the pool were shockingly dirty although other toilets were very clean. Another big negative is the check in process or anything that involves speaking to Reception. Check in is painfully slow with large queues. Just a simple question to Reception staff resulted in a lengthy wait or being ignored for long periods of time. Evening entertainment was good but stupidly late for young children. Undecided as to whether we will return to this hotel. Love how fun it is for kids but lets itself down in other areas.
Family Holiday
