Nexus Suites & Apartments Benalmadena

The hotel is in a lovely quiet spot with a beach a few hundred yards away. It is very clean, there's a daily maid service, the beds are extremely comfortable as is the sofa bed. Bedding and towels are of good quality. There's a large supermarket nearby (walking distance) and bus stops too. Staff are very friendly and nice. Fantastic terrace to sunbathe on. As on the outskirt of Benalmadena, either had to walk or bus into town - 25 mins walk to Casino, 50 mins to edge of main beach and 80 mins to Port. Uphill to Pueblo so bus is recommended! Hopwever, the swimming pool doesn't open until May and is very small (not as large as it looks in the picture!). Not good for anyone who is disabled or frail as there are about 15 steps up to the main reception, and, when that is shut, you have to go up 130 steps to get to the other door. Facities within the kitchen are minimal, 2 saucepans, a combi-microwave (without instructions) and only 3 sets of crockery for a one bed apartment. Whilst in a quiet area, the tiled floors of the apartments mean that you hear others scraping chairs, walking in heels etc!

Initially we were disappointed in the location. It was not in town, and was not walking distance to town. There was a bus to town every 30 minutes at a bus stop 2 blocks away. Parking in town was impossible, so taking the car into town was awkward. There was a small beach down a long steep flight of stairs, across two main roads and half a block away. The main beaches and the board walk were in town. The wifi almost never worked. other than that, the staff were nice, the suites were beautiful. There were two exceptional restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance. It was a convenient location to explore the South of Spain.

Nice clean apartment with a proper kitchen. Sea and pool view from balcony. peacefu location, some 1 km plus walk to Benalmadena center. Sizeable super market just around the corner. Not that many dinner restaurants around, found just one pretty good, El Embarcadero. Wi-Fi was not working in the part of the aparment building. Missing washing machine for laundry. Dish washing machine was available though, but no use of that as daily room cleaning service was oprovided, Sound insulation between rooms could be better.
