Benalmadena is very nice. Good harbour, nice beaches etc. Don't be put off resort by the review. Hotel Minerva Jupiter. Rooms very clean which is always good start. However, the hotel is very old and not pretty to look at. If on a budget though, what do you expect? Main problem for our stay was our room was overlooking Bonanza... more

Hotel is in a great spot with good access to the Bonanza Square where there are a lot of nice bars. Opposite there is a large and cheap supermarket and the beach isn't too far away, albeit down (then back up!) a hill. The pool and grounds are great - some fabulous slides and well looked after - with a... more

We booked a 2 bed apartment with GAPP properties in the Jupiter block which overlooked the pool and had great sea views as well. Well located for Bonanza Square and for getting down to the prom.

overall the room was fairly decent although the room service wasn't brilliant. the location of the hotel was great as the beach was a nice stroll away. however, i was utterly disguisted by a particular experience, coming back to my room from a night out, being on the 9th floor i took the lift but was mortified to find that... more

All the people who are saying bad things about this place obviously didnt look into it properly before booking. I stayed with friends in the Minerva building we had a brilliant bank holiday weekend away....Most of it spent by the pool than in the evenings and early hours in the square, Linekars bar is the best place to go and... more
