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.
Málaga: where sun-drenched beaches meet timeless Andalusian soul
Bathed in sunlight for over 300 days a year and set along the sparkling shores of the Costa del Sol, Málaga is a destination that effortlessly blends beach life, rich Andalusian culture and a vibrant urban atmosphere.

Es verdad q las habitaciones estan insonorizadas q no se escucha ala gente y la masajista de la piscina la mejor super amable y profesional
The internet hardly works and the Wi‑Fi is terrible. The pool closes at 7:30pm, which is when it’s nicest to be there. The car park is awful and you can’t find anywhere serving Spanish food — everything is aimed at foreign guests. The buffet staff wouldn’t let me have a coffee two minutes after the service time ended, and to top it off you can’t even play cards or do anything in the evenings because the hotel closes everything off and you can only go to your room. Honestly it’s a bit boring 24 hours a day.
El Internet no funciona casi el WiFi malisimo,la piscina la cierran alas 7 30 q es cuando mejor se esta,el aparcamiento horrible y salir a comer no encuentras nada de españa esta todo enfocado al extranjero,los empleados del bufet por 2 min pasados no me dejaron tomar café, y ya para terminar no puedes ni jugar alas cartas ni nada por la noche q cierran todo el hotel sólo ala habitacion puedes ir la verdad q esta un poco aburrido las 24h

Lo que más nos ha gustado es el servicio de comida, el personal maravilloso, la comida de mucha calidad, mucha variación y todo buenísimo.
What we liked least were the hills you have to climb to get up to the hotel.
Lo que menos nos ha gustado son las cuestas que hay para subir al hotel

Relación calidad-precio muy buena. Destacaría el trato de todo el personal, especialmente el del comedor, siempre muy amable. El aire acondicionado de la habitación funcionó de maravilla, algo que se agradece mucho. Los desayunos y las cenas son muy completos, con productos de calidad y reposición continua hasta el final del servicio. La piscina y la zona de hamacas en el jardín también están muy bien.
As areas for improvement, a bit more entertainment would be welcome, although travelling without children this did not affect us much. It is true there is a slope and some steps to get down to the beach, and a shuttle bus to the town centre would be a useful addition, but honestly these walks are perfectly manageable and pleasant.
We would definitely return.
Como aspectos de mejora, se echa en falta algo más de animación, aunque al viajar sin niños no nos afectó demasiado. Es cierto que para bajar a la playa hay una cuesta y unas escaleras, y que un autobús lanzadera al centro sería un buen añadido, pero sinceramente son trayectos perfectamente asumibles y agradables de hacer andando.
Sin duda, repetiríamos.

Buffet muy bueno, ubicación buena.
Not very happy with the room; I believe I booked one with a balcony. Room cleaning was minimal. There are many uphill climbs to reach the hotel.
No muy conforme con la habitación, creo que yo contraté una con balcón.La limpieza de habitación escasa.Muchas cuestas hasta llegar al hotel.

El buffet tiene variedad de comida y está buena, cercanías a 15 minuts andado, las habitaciones están bien y disponen de 3 piscinas. Puerto marina está a 15 minutos andado si quieres pasear por allí
There is no evening entertainment, you have to walk a short distance to get to the beach, and depending on the month it can be a little difficult to find car park.
No tiene animación por las noches, para ir a la playa tienes que andar un poco, y según lo meses que vayas cuesta un poco aparcar

El hotel muy bien en limpieza, personal y comida,
The downside was that the pool water was cloudy and very crowded, and the location to the beach.
Lo malo el agua de la piscina estaba turbia y muy masificada y la ubicación a la playa

La habitación con el aire acondicionado, la terracita y la ducha amplia cumple con creces.
La piscina esta muy bien y la zona de césped también, a nosotros nos gustó la parte mas alejada de la piscina q suele estar mas vacía pq hay árboles mas grandes y tienes sol/sombra (se suele petar todo sobre todo ahora en verano)
El buffet es bastante correcto. Para el desayuno suele haber un poco de todo y la tortilla francesa q te hacen en la plancha está muy rica. Para la cena siempre hay cosas interesantes de pescado o carne en la plancha y algún guiso muy rico.
El personal del buffet muy atento.
Housekeeping could be a bit better. On one occasion they didn’t clean the room and another time they woke us at 9:00 (it’s a reasonable hour, yes, but we were on holiday...).
We missed having some entertainment at the hotel — not all the time and blasting music, but a few activities to help people socialise would have been nice. The ping-pong paddles need replacing and a roof over that area (villar and ping-pong) would be welcome so you don’t get scorched.
As car park is difficult, the car park costs €10 a day; it’s not a bad price but it’s another expense...
And as a suggestion, a machine for freshly squeezed orange juice would be lovely — a nice juice is missed.
La limpieza debería mejorar un poco. Alguna vez no hicieron la habitación y otra nos despertaron a las 9:00 (es una hora decente, si, pero estamos de vacaciones..).
Se echaba de menos algo de animación en el hotel, no te digo q a todas horas y con la música a todo trapo pero alguna actividad para q la gente sociabilice no hubiera estado mal. Las palas del ping-pong hay q reponerlas y no vendría nada mal un techado en esa zona (villar y ping-pong) para no achicharrarte.
Como es difícil aparcar el parking te sale a 10€ el día, no es mal precio pero ya es otro gasto mas...
Y como sugerencia, una maquina para hacer zumo natural de naranja no vendría nada mal, se echa de menos un zumito rico.

El buffet me ha parecido maravilloso, comidas muy ricas y elaboradas en las cenas que continuamente están rellenando para que no falte de nada. ¡Una persona que hace espetos me parece un detallazo!. Muy buena atención del personal. El hotel en general está bastante bien, la piscina y la zona de césped una maravilla.
Improve the gym so it better matches the hotel’s standard. The towels also look a bit old. Both are minor details.
Mejorar el gimnasio para que esté un poco mas acorde con el nivel del hotel. Las toallas parecen antiguas también. Ambas cosas son detalles sin importancia.

El personal en general muy agradable y muy atento.....
Meals were offered with F. And the customerele could be a little more selective about who is accommodated at certain times. There are people who spend the weekend drinking by the pool and disturbing other guests. And the waits at the bar to place orders — not because the staff aren’t professional, but, I believe, due to a lack of staff to serve more efficiently.
Se ofreciera la comida en pensión completa. Y el tema de los clientes un poco más selectivo con lo que acoje en determinados momentos. Personas que pasan el fin de semana bebiendo en la piscina y molestando a otros clientes. Y la esperas en el bar para pedir, no por el personal que es muy profesional. Sino creo yo por falta de personal para atender con más fluidez...

La estancia fue estupenda debido a las instalaciones que ofrecía el hotel y la cantidad de comida que ponían en los buffet.
Keep in mind when re stocking coffee, tea and bathroom hygiene products.
Tener en cuenta a la hora de reponer café, te y los productos de higienes del baño.

El personal del buffet super amables ,carlota y compañeras un 10
One day, the towels in our room hadn't been changed, so I went down to tell the front desk about it, and they told me not to worry, that they would personally take care of it. The next day, the room wasn't cleaned, When we returned in the afternoon, it hadn’t been cleaned and the towels hadn’t been changed again, and since there were no housekeeping staff in the afternoon, we just had to put up with it.
La limpieza de la habitación hubo undia que las toallas no las cambiaron baje a comentarlo a recepción y me dijeron que no me preocupara que el personalmente lo diría y al otro día no nos hicieron la habitación, cuando volvimos por la tarde estaba sin hacer y sin cambiar de nuevo las toallas y como no había personal de limpieza por la tarde, pues nos tuvimos que aguantar.
