We stayed at this property for a week. Every member of staff greeted you with a hello and a smile. The food was very well prepared and presented with a wide selection to suit everyone.
Safes are available at a cost of 3euro per day+ 10euro refundable deposit for the small key that allows the safe to operate. It's one of those chose your own number ones so no key to loose. Reception is on the fourth floor, during the day you will be able to gain access through the basement garage. The walk up the path to reception is very steep so may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties. I'm sure an arrangement could be made with reception for those less able to get in through the garage after nine pm.
Apart from the usual restuarant and bar there is a self-service laundry, games room and a hairdressing salon. The only concern I had during my stay was that the balcony doors close from the outside. This wasn't a problem for us as my husband climbed over the balcony on to the reception terrace. Our solution to the problem was to put something over the door track when we were out there.
There is a large Maxi supermarket a five minute walk away, walk down to the main road and turn right just after Burger King. It's similar to Lidl or Aldi. If you walk another five minutes up the hill you will get a SuperCor, like Waitrose, this store has some fantastic stuff but the layout is weird, no rhyme or reason. If you walk down the main road to the left you will get a SuperSol, like Asda, its in the basement of one of the Maite (3?) buildings. If you are caught short of anything there is an OpenCor near the entrance to the Marina about a 20 minute walk away (main road turn left). This is open 365 days a year from 8 am to 2am the following morning.
There is an excellent costal bus service to places like Torremolinos & Fuengirolla (main road and turn left) the fare is 1.10euro. If you are in a town with a terminus you are expected to buy your ticket at the booth and present it to the driver. If there is no booth you pay on the bus, always better to have the correct change.
No hesitation in recommending this hotel and will use it on my return to Benelmadena.

6 of us booked a 4 day break at these appts, and for what we paid, 143 pounds including flights, the value was tremendous. the 2 rooms we had were 1st class,the staff were very friendly and i would definitely go back. the hill up to the hotel is steep but not as steep as i was expecting. dont let the hill put you off. 4 star easily.

Not sure that it deserves a 4 stat rating - everything is ok just rather dull and lifeless - the staff are helpful & professional but lack friendlyness & personality - this is not the place for the fun
seeking - more of a place to stay as passing through - I certainly
wouldn't want to holiday here in the summer - the food is fair quality but very limited to choice - we had left over sprouts & carrots offered for breakfast along with frozen in the middle chicken wings - the hotel is on the extreme outskirts of Benalmadena on a steep incline not suitable for anyone with walking or breathing difficulties -cant see what's here for children either - enteratinment worse than the british legion on a sunday night -we had a couple a bad weather days which left the beach stroon with rubbish, sewage & dead rats enough to put me off mainland spain for life - I wouldn't stay here again

This was our second time at the hotel, and we were just as pleased with it from our first. The rooms are a great size, and the bathroom is very spacious and well looked after. We have stayed at many Spanish Hotels, and this one surpassed the others. The hotel was very clean, and the cleaners of the rooms were so helpfull, and spot on with there work. There was no noise and thick walls above and beside so you didnt hear other guests. The pool area is a good size for the amount of rooms, you dont have to get up at 6:00am to fight for a lounger. The best thing is the staff move towels off loungers if people do put them on!!!!!. There is only one thing wrong with it, it is on a fairly steep hill and in the Spanish heat can be a little hard work. But they do open the car garage underneath the hotel ,it has a lift to reception it is only open in the day time though. But would come again!!!
