Property is perfectly located, slap bang on La Carihuela, overlooking the beach and promenade. Inside is mostly clean, though I found a few hairs on my bedsheets. To hire a kettle it's £12.00 for a week (less if under a week)with a £20 deposit that is refunded upon return. There are loads of shops, bars and restaurants nearby, as well as Benalmadena marina.

Lovely hotel, nice bar but dreadful music!

Hotel is nice, rooms are clean and comfortable with everything you need. Wonderful views and great location. Staff are friendly and helpful. Drinks are reasonably priced and there are loads of restaurants nearby if you don't want to eat at the hotel. Breakfast was lovely, dinner was not so good. The rest of our party enjoyed it so maybe it was just me, but I wasn't impressed with the options or the quality. It was nice to have entertainment available, although it wasn't to my taste. Rooftop bar is gorgeous (and you can visit it even if you don't stay there), but why on earth is the music up there so LOUD - and so dreadful?! Impossible to have a conversation without shouting or just have a drink and enjoy the view. I've visited the rooftop bar several times before my stay and it wasn't any better - seriously, I get it in mid-summer if you have lots of 20 somethings staying but the average age of your visitors when I was there was about 60+ - I refuse to believe they want that dreadful noise blaring away! Thankfully you can't hear it from the rooms!

Not worth the money

I stayed here for 2 weeks for a family holiday. My first impression was unwelcoming. I arrived with my partner and son along with my brother and his partner who were helping us with luggage as we had the baby. The receptionist abruptly told us he was allowed no further. I said okay he was just helping us inside with our luggage’s . He then told us he was not allowed in the hotel room which he wasn’t going to anyway. Once arrived in our room it’s very standard room set up. No kettle however. It’s 14 euro a week to rent. Housekeeping were partially friendly, some say hello, some have a lot of attitude. We were asked if we needed cleaning when we had already put the sign out on the door. If no then we would hear the relief in their voice, if yes it’s a dramatic sigh and a look at the watch as if it’s too much to ask for. We had an ant issue, coming from the corridor under the door into the room, so many that they were found in our clothes! Beds so uncomfortable that we have back pain now and my partner was bitten by bed bugs!! It was confirmed by a pharmacist. For buffet breakfast- dont. It’s not worth the money. You’ll be left with a stomach ache lasting the rest of the day. On check out, there was no “Thankyou, how was your stay “ Just a “yes no charges on your room” I asked to leave my luggage and that even seemed an issue. I had other family staying in the hotel and they thought the same. Nothing special at all considering the price payed.
