Best Benalmadena Hotel Reviews
" Book somewhere else "
Submitted By: judyfromsuffolk
We read the reviews after we had booked and it said "Don't Go". It can't be that bad we thought, but it was. This was probably the worst All Inclusive Hotel we have been to. You have to sign for every drink you have, which takes an age. If you abuse the all inclusive facility you will have it taken away. We got caught the first night and had to pay a supplement for a bottle of coke, always ask for coke from the machine! There is only one bar, which in fact is just the cafe situated next to the pool. Takes for ever to get served. The pool was no bigger than a back garden and there is no beach, just rocks. The food was only average. There was only one other English family at the whole hotel and their children were counting down the days to go home!!! The whole place was very "kiss me quick" and the shops very tacky. The bedrooms were acceptable but the beds were so uncomfortable. The hotel is situated on a dual carriageway and if you are unfortunate enough to be facing it - it is very noisy. No way was this a 4 star hotel. It was a very very disappointing holiday, which wasn't even cheap. A place we would never go again.

We stayed for 1 week in the Best Benalmadena, excellent hotel, very good food, room air con, carpeted, good shower, fridge, room cleaned every day with a change of towels every day.
The only down side is the beach is rocky and unable to swim, pool a little too small for the size of the hotel.
Overhaul we were very very pleased - a very comfortable stay.

" benalmadena best hotel "
Submitted By: micann
We stayed here for two weeks, lovely location but a bit out of centre although there was a very good bus service from right outside the hotel.
the hotel was clean & the food was good but dont really think its a 4 star just certain touches missing & the outside of the hotel is in need of some updating.
the staff on the whole were very good but the biggest downside was it was mainly geared up to accomadate spanish & all the entertainment was in spanish, if we had been informed of this when booking we wouldnt have gone.

Submitted By: Mrs Heather Radford
We've been all around the world, so have lots of comparisons. For £600 total for the two of us on an all-inclusive ticket at a 4* hotel, you cannot beat it. I cannot fault the staff, the food, the amenities, everything. It was absolutely wonderful!
I would recommend it to anyone!

" My Wife and I stayed from the 19th to... "
Submitted By: Mr T Marshall
My Wife and I stayed from the 19th to the 26th of May. I thought the Hotel was very good, as was the food.
The only downside was the entertainment as it was all in Spanish.
It seems they cater for the Spanish Pensioners, who go up to the end of May, FREE.
Maybe our Government will do the same, (don’t hold your breath).
But I would go again to this Hotel.

Submitted By: Ms M A Morgan
This hotel was excellent, location great, the views from our room were magnificent, food and choice absolutely fabulous something different every meal (all Inclusive).
Entertainment great, wide variety. Drinks of all descriptions included. Only one bad comment put about half a stone on!! Highly recommended! One tip don’t get drawn in by the people on the street selling time shares, we lost one day because of them.

" I have just returned from 4 nights at... "
Submitted By: Ms F Jennings
I have just returned from 4 nights at the Best Hotel in Benalmadena. I traveled with my husband and two young children. First time in the Costa del Sol.
The hotel is very clean. Food is what you would expect from a buffet dinner. Waiters and waitresses can be a little rude. Reception staff and room service were very helpful. On arrival we were upgraded to a beautiful suite with a huge balcony and stunning sea views, it suited our requirements perfectly on this occasion.
Looking at other hotels in the area I believe we made the right decision, thanks to the helpful reviews on the internet.

" Hi, we booked a weeks holiday for two... "
Submitted By: Mr P Lowry
Hi, we booked a weeks holiday for two persons to Best Benalmadena hotel Benalmadena totally independent start to finish. Easyjet Belfast to Malaga. Airport limo taxi. one week four star hotel. total price £480..One of the best holidays we have had.
the hotel was located at the top end of the town and on a slight incline on a busy road but was not a problem either from noise or getting across the road as there were pelican crossings and the traffic did stop. the hotel was really good and deserved the name "best" along with the 4* rating.
The reception check in was pleasant and quick with precise directions to our room on the fourth floor, sea facing, the room has an inner door probably for sound proofing, the rooms have complete carpeting which means no noise from dragging furniture above, two queen size beds, great air conditioning, the bathroom was excellent with bath and shower, toothbrushes, men’s shavers, soaps, shampoos, ect were all provided, the only thing the room lacked was hospitality tray, oh and there was a mini fridge, good for keeping drinks cool, also a very pleasant balcony with beautiful sea views..
The restaurant; a fantastic selection for breakfast, with a grill area where a chef made specialities, although it could mean a wait in the peak season, the evening meals were well varied and plentiful, the staff were always cheerful and helpful, and the general manager went out of his way to greet you , and ask if everything was to your satisfaction..
The facilities offered by the hotel; two Jacuzzis which we found to be very hot and could not stay in them, a fully equipped fitness suite, a massage parlour, a hairdressers,
the pool area has a large Jacuzzi and two swimming pools which were quite small, and could be crowded in peak season, there were soft loungers and parasols, but I don’t think there would be enough when the hotel is at full capacity, there is a beach below the hotel pool area which was getting refurbished by diggers and dumper trucks, the noise was not a problem as they were nearly finished the work..
The entertainment at the hotel needs to be seriously addressed as some nights it can be quite boring, but you can go to other hotels in the area or into town for a night out for a change..
The resort; We found the resort to be a bit quiet but after all it was April, there is a place called "Bonazna Square" although we never went there we heard that is were you can have a good night out, also a place called the "Tivoli" is mentioned it is a fun park and entertainment centre were they put on shows for the kids and shows for the adults. Also the Marina in the town is something else..
Things to see; Benalmadena is between Torremilnos and Fungerola, both a short bus ride away costing 1.50euros and well worth the day out, also a trip to Malaga City and a ride on the open top bus 13euro is worth every cent. Breathtaking views when you get to an old area at the top of the mountain.
Overall comment; We had a good time there, a good relaxing holiday with great weather only one dull day that was the last day when we were going home. We are going back in September 05 with our friends and will see all the things that we missed the last time we were there. we have been to many places around the world and found that for the money that we spent Benalmadena give the best value...
Well recommended, but the bargains are to be had in April or October, as this week away is costing £900 for the both of us..
Good luck...
