Benalma Hotel Costa del Sol

I had a wonderful 3 day stay at the Benalma. The staff are warm and helpful—especially Ionela at the restaurant and Carolina at the front desk. The location is lovely, although it is about an hour walk from the downtown section of Benalmadena. If you want strictly rest and relaxation, this the place. My room was beautiful and comfortable, but with a fantastic balcony and view of the sea. It’s about a mile from the train station so you can take the train directly from the airport. I recommend getting an uber from the train station to the hotel if you have a lot of luggage though because it’s a 15 minute walk downhill from the train station. I recommend having breakfast at the hotel. The buffet is decent. The Mediterranean restaurant is great too. I had the freshest salmon I’ve ever had in my life there. There is also a pizza pasta restaurant and supermarket a block away down the hill and a few other restaurants nearby within walking distance of you don’t get all inclusive at the hotel. The only cons are the elevators. They are very small and it takes a long time to get one that isn’t full or going on the right direction. All the guests I encountered complained about the elevators. All things considered, that was one minor annoyance compared to all the pros. I would definitely stay at the Benalma again!

Just a quick turn around hotel you arrive you check you start your adventure fantastic for lots of reasons
