      A short guide to Benalmadena

      Benalmadena divides into two discrete parts: five kilometres inland is the original quiet, traditional, whitewashed village; on the coast is the new seaside resort of Benalmadena Costa, featuring a lively glitzy marina. The latter adjoins the less frenetic end of Torremolinos, with its sandy beaches, myriad family attractions and good water sports facilities.

      This hotel is in a quiet road just off the Marina - this was my 4th visit for long weekends and am planning a week there in the summer. It is clean and the pool area is good too. Rooms are basic but adequate and for the price it is fine. Bathrooms are tiny though. Only stay B&B and the breakfasts are good.

      having been to the palmasol for the third time, we were once again disappointed by the response of the hotel staff that the hotel was full when we asked could we use the room or another room for an extra few hours as we were going home at 2330 and checked out at 1200> we have asked on 3 occasions now for this facility and been refused every time, and as on other occasions when we checked the availability of rooms via the internet for that day there were rooms available. wont be going there again

      Having read quite a lot of negative comments, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. It is a basic 3 star hotel, yes a little tired but exceptional value and in a great location. We found the staff very accomodating and friendly. Room clean and bed very comfortable. Bathroom small but perfectly adequate. Very good facilities, great choice at breakfast and for an extra three quid a night the buffet dinner was exceptional value. (there are loads of bars and restaurants nearby too)

      Måtte levere passet i resepsjon ved innsjekk. Resepsjonen glemte å levere det tilbake ved utsjekk en uke senere.... men de var behjelpelig med å løse problemet da jeg oppdaget dette på flyplassen. Men det kostet meg 25e i taxi regning.

      Reviewed by A of Roskilde on Jun 10, 2009

      Rigtig god beliggenhed lige på grænsen mellem Torremolinos og Benalmaneda. Hotellet ligger dog ikke på stranden men lige bag den helt fantastiske Benalmadena havn. Få hundrede meter til stranden på begge sider af havnen. Hotellet har en rigtig stor pool som ligger i en hyggelig have. Der er fitnness og spa. Servicen i receptionen og morgenmadsrestauranten er rigtig god. Vær opmærksom på at udsigten fra værelserne er meget forskellig. Nogle vender mod vejen og her kan man ikke kalde udsigten for god. Nogle vender mod poolområde/havet og her er udsigten rigtig god. Vi havde fået værelse på 2. sal mod vejen, men fik lov til at skifte værelse til 5. sal mod pool/havet for blot 11 euro for hele ugen. Kvalitet, standard og komfort er til 3 stjerne på selve hotellet men poolområde med have spa og fitnnes er til 4 stjerner. Alt i alt er hotellet godt til prisen, især hvis man får udsigt til poolområdet.

      L'hotel est très bien situé et est extérieurement très correct. Le ménage n'a pas été fait (du sable partout, sur les draps, le sol, les fauteuils). Les toilettes ne fonctionnaient pas correctement sans démonté le couvercle à chaque fois. Le support de douche ne tenait pas. J'ai même tué un caffard. La clim est seulement là pour faire du bruit mais ne rafraichi absolument pas. A part cela le reste est "parfait".
