Lovely hotel

The hotel was immaculate throughout. The room was very comfortable. I needed an iron and ironing board and it was delivered to the room within minutes All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful Facilities were good. Lovely balcony with sea view. Just a short drive from the busier part but we really liked this hotel and would stay there again.

I am a senior and found the lack of a rubber shower mat problematic. I had to step into a bathtub with no grab bars and although I didn’t slip, I was concerned I might rubber bath mats are not expensive and I would recommend they be obtained. We did ask for one but were told to use towels.

Good value

My expectations were pretty low as it is a Costa del Sol front line hotel! We visited in March at the start of an Andalucian tour. But it is actually pretty good for the money!

Hotel was of a good standard. Lovely views of the sea from the restaurant and hotel room. Everything was clean and modern. Only criticism was the evening meals were a little boring with no real variation each night. I stayed 4 nights and that was enough for me.

We were severely underwhelmed by our stay to be honest. The room was just okay, nothing special. Not as clean as expected and the toiletry products provided were not great and broke me out when used. The rainfall shower didn’t work. We paid extra for a Sea view room but from what we could see when we arrived every room had a view of the beach/ ocean so it felt sketchy. It was a very high floor with like the picture perfect views, we were on the 5th floor and could hear absolutely everything going on on the beach and anywhere outside our room below if our balcony door was even cracked. One of the restaurants was closed for the season but we weren’t told those dates at the time of booking. The spa was also closed but it’s not stated on the website at all. The food at the beachside restaurant was our least favorite in Benalmádena that we’d had. It was also not nearly as centrally located as advertised, many things were quite a ways away in comparison to other more centrally located hotels. The staff as less than enthusiastic toward us- we weren’t all inclusive and felt we waited longer for service and weren’t treated as nicely as those who were all inclusive. The website wasn’t clear about what was offered with all inclusive and the food there wasn’t worth that cost. The hotel itself in all common areas was extremely hot and the air conditioning's having a locked minimum of 19 c was not very comfortable (especially for someone who experiences hot flashes).

Really enjoyed our stay at the hotel, staff were amazing and the property was very clean and tidy throughout. The negatives were that we felt the food options available were quite limited and also the drinks options on an all inclusive were quite restricted
