Important information before booking your stay

We want you to book with full transparency and confidence, so please note that a building is currently under construction in front of the hotel.

As expected, this may affect the view from some rooms and there may be occasional noise during the day. We believe it’s important that you have all the details before booking.

The good news? If your plan is to spend most of the day at the beach, you’re in luck. Due to the works, floors 1, 2 and 3 are offered at a very attractive price, giving you the chance to stay in a prime area of the Costa del Sol at a real deal rate.

Prefer more tranquillity? You can also choose floors 4 and 5, where less noise is expected, at a slightly higher rate.

In any case, construction only takes place during limited daytime hours. Nights remain calm and quiet, so you can rest properly.

You’ll be able to select your preferred floor during the booking process.

We simply want you to have all the information you need before confirming your stay.

Why this destination is a must-visit

Benalmádena: golden beaches, a spectacular marina and Andalusian charm

Whether you're looking for days of relaxation by the sea or a destination packed with activities for the whole family, Benalmádena has everything you need for an unforgettable getaway on the Costa del Sol.

What you shouldn’t miss:

  • Puerto Marina: Repeatedly recognised as one of the world's best marinas, its striking architecture inspired by Arabic and Indian styles makes it truly unique. The perfect place for a waterfront stroll, dinner with a view or drinks as the sun goes down.
  • Benalmádena Pueblo: Discover the town’s most authentic side through its whitewashed streets, colourful flower pots and charming squares. Don't miss Colomares Castle, a fairytale-like monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus.
  • Cable Car and Mount Calamorro: Enjoy a scenic 15-minute ride to the summit and take in breathtaking views of the Costa del Sol. On clear days, you may even spot the African coastline.
  • Beaches for every taste: Looking for convenience? Malapesquera Beach, next to the marina, has everything at hand. Prefer a quieter setting? Head to the hidden coves around Benalnatura, surrounded by cliffs and crystal-clear waters.

Our recommendation: Take a stroll through Parque de la Paloma, a beautiful green oasis in the heart of Benalmádena. Peacocks, ducks and rabbits roam freely among visitors, making it a favourite spot for families and children.

  • Maximum weight: 7 kg/pet
  • Price: 20 €/night and pet

8.3 James Travelled with family July 2026
Very friendly and accommodating staff, food quality and choice was better than expected (dinner was especially good), the location is excellent.
The hotel is a bit dated and could benefit from some updates, the rooms are adequate but more 3* rather than 4* standard, room ventilation was poor.
Very good
8.3 Steve G. Travelled with couple June 2025
Great location. Fairly spacious room. Friendly staff. Nice decor. Plenty of sunbeds and nice pool areas. Good value for money.
Cooked food quality not great. Mostly overcooked. Rooftop pool was too shallow to swim in.

5.7 Ismael Travelled with couple July 2026 location and helpfulness of the staff; especially the terrace waitress, who was also attentive to my little dog.
ubicación y atención de los trabajadores , destacar a la camarera de terraza que estaba atenta también a mi perrita .
Our experience at this hotel has been very poor from the first day. As soon as we arrived we had problems because the note sent by Jump2spain.com about pets had not been taken into account, which meant we were charged more than we had booked. However, the worst issue has been the lack of privacy. Today alone staff have entered our room three times without reason. The first time was while we were resting — when I woke up the cleaner was already inside the room. The second time she told me that “the manager likes to meet the guests” and asked if everything was OK, which felt very odd and uncomfortable. It is not acceptable for staff to access an occupied room so often. Furthermore, when you travel with a dog — in our case a chihuahua of barely 3 kg — the hotel itself states that cleaning should be done when the room is empty. We always informed them in the morning to make their work easier, so there was no need to enter while we were inside. We still have four days left of our stay and, without a doubt, this is the worst hotel we have stayed in. We usually spend part of the day by the hotel pool and now we are even worried about whether they have entered the room when we were out. I especially want to warn people who travel with pets. Our experience was dreadful from start to finish and the feeling of a lack of privacy was very unpleasant. My five weeks of annual holiday are for enjoying myself and, sadly, these have been by far the worst. Of course, I will report everything that happened to Jump2spain.com and leave this review so others know what they might encounter if they choose to stay here, especially if they are travelling with their pet.
Nuestra experiencia en este hotel ha sido muy mala desde el primer día. Nada más llegar tuvimos problemas porque no habían tenido en cuenta la nota enviada por BuscoUnChollo sobre los animales de compañía, lo que hizo que nos cobraran un importe superior al que habíamos contratado. Sin embargo, lo peor ha sido la falta de privacidad. Solo hoy han entrado en nuestra habitación tres veces sin motivo. La primera, mientras estábamos descansando, hasta el punto de que al despertarme la empleada ya estaba dentro de la habitación. La segunda vez me comentó que “a la jefa le gusta conocer a la gente” y preguntó si todo estaba bien, una situación muy extraña e incómoda. No es normal que el personal acceda tantas veces a una habitación ocupada. Además, cuando viajas con un perro, en nuestro caso un chihuahua de apenas 3 kg, el propio hotel indica que la limpieza debe realizarse cuando la habitación esté vacía. Nosotros siempre avisamos por la mañana para facilitar su trabajo, por lo que no había ninguna necesidad de entrar mientras estábamos dentro. Aún nos quedan cuatro días de estancia y, sin duda, es el peor hotel en el que nos hemos alojado. Habitualmente pasamos parte del día en la piscina del hotel y ahora incluso nos preocupa pensar si habrán entrado en la habitación cuando no estábamos. Quiero advertir especialmente a las personas que viajan con animales de compañía. Nuestra experiencia ha sido nefasta de principio a fin y la sensación de falta de privacidad ha sido muy desagradable. Mis cinco semanas de vacaciones al año son para disfrutar y, lamentablemente, estas han sido las peores con diferencia. Por supuesto, trasladaré todo lo ocurrido a BuscoUnChollo y dejaré esta reseña para que otras personas sepan lo que pueden encontrarse si deciden alojarse aquí, especialmente si viajan con su mascota.

6.1 Ivan Travelled with couple July 2026 The best part was the staff in both the dining room and reception. Very friendly and attentive.
Lo mejor, el personal tanto del comedor como de la recepción. Muy amables y atentos.
We understood the room wouldn’t be top quality given the advertised deal, but the windows didn’t work, the air conditioning smelled of rotten eggs and the bathroom had the removable ceiling panel partly lifted. The headboard was very worn and broken in several places. Of the two pools, one — the “infinity” pool — was 0.80 m deep along its entire length.
Entendemos que la habitación no iba a ser la mejor por la oferta publicada, pero no funcionaba las ventana, el olor que desprendía el aire acondicionado era a huevos podridos y el baño tenía el techo registrable entero medio levantado. El cabecero de la cama estaba muy desgastado y roto en varios sitios. De las dos piscinas, una de ellas, la " infinita" tenía de profundidad de 0,80 en toda su longitud.

6.6 Tsvetomir Travelled with couple July 2026 Perfect location. The staff were very friendly. The food had no flavour. For a 4-star hotel, it didn’t match expectations — it seemed more like a 2-star. At breakfast my wife was waiting for them to cook her an egg. When the chef lifted the egg, a huge cockroach came out from underneath. How disgusting.
Ubicación perfecta.El personal, muy amables..La comida con ningún sabor.. Para 4 estrellas, no tiene nada que ver.. Parecía uno de 2... Al desayuno, mi mujer estuvo esperando, para cocinar le un huevo.Y de repente a levantar cocinero el huevo, por debajo sale una cucaracha enorme. Que asco...

5.7 Susana Travelled with couple June 2026 The location is ideal, very close to the beach, restaurants and shops.
La ubicación es ideal muy cerca de la playa, restaurantes, tiendas.
The reception staff — especially someone named Jesús — were very rude. He suggested that those who travel looking for a deal should not be staying in those hotels and said people should check whether they have a booking before arriving. I called to complain and I don’t think the person who dealt with me did anything. I travel a lot and we have never been treated like this. People like that should not be customer-facing. Bad experience. The restaurant staff were very friendly.
El personal de recepción sobre todo un tal Jesús, muy malos modos, me insinuó q los q viajan con busco un chollo no deberían estar en esos hoteles y preguntar si hay reserva antes de acudir. Llamé para reclamar y la persona q me atendió creo q no hizo nada. Viajo siempre y jamás nos habían tratado así. Personas como esas no deberían estar de cara al público. Mala experiencia. El personal de restaurante super amables.

The buffet was aimed at a foreign audience and so was the meal schedule. A little more generous opening hours wouldn’t be a bad idea.
El bufett estaba dirigido al público extranjero y el horario de las comidas también. Un poco más de amplitud horaria no estaría mal
