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. Whether you're travelling as a couple, with family or exploring as a culture-lover, the city offers a perfect mix of relaxation, gastronomy and history.

- The Picasso Museum, dedicated to Málaga’s most famous son, with an exceptional collection of his works.
- The Cathedral of Málaga, known as “La Manquita”, a Renaissance treasure with an impressive interior.

Buena ubicación, aunque la calle en rampa un poco dificultosa, habitación normal, parking bueno
Dinner and breakfast service were poor, with few options and not very good quality. Tables had no cutlery and drink service didn’t attend to the tables — you had to go elsewhere to get your own drinks.
Servicio de cena y desayuno malo, poco producto donde elegir y no de muy buena calidad. Mesas sin cubiertos y servicio de bebidas sin atender en mesa, uno mismo tenía que ir a la bebida a otro lugar

Disappointing
Las piscinas son geniales, la gente q trabaja allí es maravillosa, la habitación está genial y la comida dentro de lo normal de un hotel.
The cleanliness could be improved; it’s just barely adequate.
And worst of all, the hotel is in a very high location — you have to climb a huge steep hill.
Mejoraría la limpieza,podría estar mejor se limitan a lo justo.
Y lo peor es q el hotel está en un lugar muy alto q hay q subir una pedazo de cuesta muy grande.

Tiene una ubicación perfecta, el personal del hotel muy amable y las instalaciones buenas
The only drawback was that the air conditioning in our room leaked, so the terrace filled with water, and there was absolutely no entertainment in the mornings, afternoons or evenings. We would have liked some pool activities, like games or dances, etc.
Lo único a lo que le podríamos sacar un impedimento es que el aire acondicionado de la habitación goteaba en nuestra habitación y la terraza se llenaba de agua y otra cosa es que no tiene nada de animación ni por las mañanas ni tardes ni noches y si nos ubiera gustado algo de animación en la piscina, como juegos bailes etc....

Muy conforme! La habitación estupenda, nueva, cómoda, silenciosa y muy limpia. Todas las instalaciones están muy bien. Destaco la cercanía a la playa, el buffet muy variado, el personal muy eficaz y atento y la zona verde de la piscina muy espaciosa. Repetiría sin duda.
If I have one complaint... the pool water was too tepid.
Por poner alguna pega...el agua de la piscina estaba demasiado tibia.

El hotel en general está muy bien. Sobre todo el buffet y la zona de piscinas
They should improve the room renovations a bit, as those on the first floor (in our case) feel a little worn.
Deberían mejor un poco la reforma de las habitaciones ya que las de la primera planta (en nuestro caso) se notan un poco desgastadas.

Lo que he disfrutado es de la comida y la piscina
You can't find car park anywhere — it took us 45 minutes to park and then a 15-minute walk to the hotel. There's no fun in the pool or at night. Their car park is all full with foreigners and I think it's far too expensive when they don't have controlled car park for guests. I wouldn't return.
No encuentras aparcamiento en ningun lado tardavamos 45 minutos para aparcar y fespues andar 15 gasta el hotel ,no hay divercion ni en la piscina ni por la noche ,el aparcamiento de ellos esta todo completo por estranjeros y me parece demasiado caro para q no dispongan controlado los aparcamientos para clientes ,no volveria

Lo mejor la piscina tipo jacuzzi, la comida también está bien..
The worst part is the slope you have to go down and up to get to the beach... but it's great for getting exercise.
Lo peor la cuesta que hay que bajar y subir para ir a la playa.. pero está muy bien para hacer ejercicio ..

Excelente calidad precio, siempre hamacas libre mucho espacio en piscina
Personal amable
Agua sin embotellar en cena sin coste
I imagine that, being a 3-star hotel, it does not include lunch.
A shuttle to the beach would be useful, even if it’s charged for; there are many hills although the beach is nearby.
Limited car park in the area and expensive daily rates.
Imagino que al ser 3 estrellas no tiene almuerzo
Furgón para llevar a playa sería bueno aunque se pagará, mucha cuesta aunque está cerca la playa
Zona de poco aparcamiento y el precio cara por día

La comida muy buena y mucha variedad. La piscina grande y el agua súper bien.
The air conditioning in the rooms is terrible; it barely cools. It is far from the beach. You have to go down a fairly steep slope and then stairs to reach the beach.
Los aires de las habitaciones fatal, enfrían muy poco. Está lejos de la playa. Tienes que bajar una cuesta bastante empinada y luego escaleras para llegar hasta la playa.

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
