Als Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung von Andalusien‘s Süden top geeignet- meinen Urlaub würde ich in Benalmadena wahrscheinli
Pros:

Das Hotel selbst ist- obwohl es sich um einen Hochhauskomplex handelt- sehr gut aufgestellt und bietet allen gewünschten Komfort

Cons:

die Anzahl der Poolliegen ist zu knapp bemessen und es gibt daybeds für einen unangemessenen hohen Preis zusätzlich zu mieten - die dann überwiegend ungenutzt bleiben - hier wäre ein angemessener Preis unbedingt angeraten

Pros:

Ein schönes Hotel direkt am Strand und auch nahe beim lebhaften und netten Hafen. Das Personal ist sehr liebenswürdig, ein kostenpflichtiger Parkplatz ist gleich beim Hotel. Wir hatten ein paar schöne Tage.

Will never return. Most of the staff rude. Particularly man at the bar and some reception staff
Pros:

The view of sea. The life guard was kind and the cleaning staff. I was given a nice view so thank you to the person that organised this.

Cons:

The Staff. On the whole dreadful particularly reception and the man at the bar that upset me on my first night! When I complained I don’t think it was managed well. Then when leaving I was accused of not paying my meal at bar. I paid it as it took 5 people attention to figure out if I paid. When I got home I noticed I had paid for the meal twice.

Pros:

Veldig stille, rolig og behagelig. Flinke personal ved poolen, og hyggelig kelner i baren inne!

Cons:

Veldig lytt fra gangen! Jeg liker å sove litt på morgenen, og setter derfor opp skiltet med " Don't disturb", så ikke rengjøringen kommer inn for tidlig! Men etter kl 11,00 -12.00 var alt rengjøringspersonale borte!
Jeg bodde på rom108, som var veldig flott, og god beliggenhet, men fikk bare rengjøring én gang på 12 dager!
