Benalma Hotel Costa del Sol

Loved having a balcany overlooking the water. Lots of different activities available as well as restaurants and bars. Some of the pool hours were a little limited and the dinner buffet wasn't worth the price but there are many local restaurants near by

Lovely hotel, right on the beach. Different layout to normal hotels as in you don’t access the pool directly from the hotel but that’s not a problem at all. The family pool is bigger and has more sun beds than the adult pool but we had no trouble getting sun beds at either. We were lucky enough to hire the belinese beds by the adults pool which looked straight over the pool and included a bottle of cava, 4 bottles of water and some food at lunchtime, which was perfect for us as we were B&B only (rather than all inclusive). The hot tubs on the roof were a real treat too, again with amazing views. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance but we took a taxi up to the Old Village a couple of times (ask the hotel to order a taxi rather than an Uber as a lot cheaper), and the restaurants and views from there are beautiful, worth the 5/10 minutes it takes to get there (depending on where you ask to be dropped off). The view from the hotel is stunning, we paid a little more and had a higher room with uninterrupted views, waking up to the sound of the waves was so relaxing. Good choice for breakfast as well, again with amazing views.

We had an ocean view room, really nice. We only had the breakfast buffet, excellent. We went down to the beach just to look, but didn't use the pool.
