Key info you should have
Adults Recommended Hotel: Designed for Peace and Relaxation
An Adults Recommended hotel is designed for those looking for a relaxing holiday away from the rush and interruptions, with a peaceful atmosphere, exquisite cuisine and spaces dedicated to wellness, whether travelling as a couple, alone or with friends.
Can families with children stay there?
-
Children are welcome, but the hotel is not designed for them: Unlike an Adults Only hotel, children are allowed to stay. However, the entire hotel experience is designed with adults in mind.
-
No children's facilities: With no kids' club, child-friendly pools, entertainment programmes or children's menus, little ones may not find the fun they're looking for, and the stay may not be entirely comfortable for the whole family.
-
The ideal setting for every holiday: We want every traveller to enjoy their holiday to the fullest. If you're looking for a getaway where children can play, have fun and enjoy facilities designed especially for them, we recommend choosing a 100% family-friendly hotel.

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.

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.

Lo mejor la ubicación y que admiten mascotas
The worst thing was the buffet — very, very little variety and mediocre.
I don’t understand why they charge €20 per day for pet cleaning when they don’t do anything.
The pools: the upper one doesn’t cover anything at all, and the lower one covers a lot of the pool and they are very small.
Lo peor el bufet muy muy poca variedad y regular.
La limpieza no se porque cobran 20 euros por día por la limpieza de la mascota cuando no hacen nada.
Las piscinas la de arriba no cubre absolutamente nada y la de abajo cubre mucho toda la piscina y son muy pequeñas.

Dirty sheets, but worst of all was the smell in the room — it was unbearable.
Sábanas sucias, pero lo peor de todo fue el olor en la habitación, no se podía estar de la peste…

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.

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.
