This hotel was the worst hotel we have stayed in.

Food was rubbish. The salad bar - what salad bar ? The chefs were also part time waiters during the day.

My advice is stay well away.

Well I stayed at this hotel again, I was last here in October 2004 and had a fabulous stay then and I have had a fabulous stay again this time.

The food to me is and was first class a good choice of food...there was a salad bar when I was there!!! They always had a soup on then the large salad bar then the hot food. they also had show cooking on at the front of the resturant always one meat and one fish. The desert selection was always good with plenty of choice.

Breakfast again was super....the normal breakfast food you get abroad plus again show cooking which was freshly fried eggs and fresh pancakes!!!!

The rooms (I booked superior again) was first class, 2 large queens size beds, loads of room, rooms cleaned each day with towles change etc etc.

I could not fault this hotel.....I alwasy wounder when you have had such a fabulous stay in what i would class as a first class hotel and others class it as the 'pits'!!!
I found all the staff both the waiters/resses, chefs, reception staff and the cleaners very very friendly.

Once again it was another very enjoyable stay and YES I would go back again for a thrid time and a fourth etc etc

I can recommend this hotel.

The food was excellent.

The location is perfect, near the marina, close to the beach, bus stop outside.

The room was possibly a little on the small side but I think this is all that is stopping this hotel from being a 4 star!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. All the staff were great, they worked really hard. The hotel food was varied - there was something to suit everyone.

Stayed at this hotel from 20th to 27th October and really enjoyed it. We upgraded to a superior room which had 2 double beds and mini bar/fridge - well worth the extra. Lovely views over beautiful gardens, pools and marina. Room was spacious and clean and was carpeted which we liked as it muffles any noise from other rooms.

Towels changed every day and linen twice during the week. Food good, not excellent but what you would expect from 3* hotel. Plenty of choice, expecially meat and fish dishes.
Staff in the main were helpful and pleasant, particularly restaurant and bar staff. Reception not as nice but only spoke to them checking in and out. Doctor at hotel for half an hour most mornings (if you need one) and hotel has small shop on site which sells loads of stuff at reasonable prices.

The gardens were beautiful! Lots of little pathways and secluded nooks and crannies. Small stream running through it with a tiny waterfall. Also 4 resident cats in the grounds. This made my holiday but not everyone's an animal lover but they are no bother.

Entertainment pretty much standard for Spanish hotels - by that I mean bingo, flamenco, parrot show, magician, middle-aged singers etc - but plenty to do and see nearby in the resort.

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Sirocco.

The hotel itself is clean, but could do with a bit of refurbishment. The gardens are well kept, and the pool area seemed to have plenty of sun-beds although lazing by the pool is not our type of holiday.

Food was generally good, with plenty of selection and was of a good variety.

The hotel is located just above the main road which passes above the beach. Easiest way to the beach is down the lift to the underground car park, and then use the subway under the road and down some steps to the promenade above the beach. 2 sunbeds and a parasol cost 8 euros.

Local buses run every 15 mins from outside the Hotel Triton to other coastal resorts. Very cheap and efficient service. (40 minute trip to Mijas costs 1 euro 15 cents.)

Hotel staff were efficient and friendly, with the exception of the Reception staff. Very curt attitude was witnessed on more than one occasion. My wife had her handbag stolen on the second day (from the hotel restaurant) and the attitude and efforts of the reception staff left a lot to be desired. The help given by First Choice rep Colin was exceptional, as was the assistance given by his local office.

Entertainment was of the usual fare. Kids club from half nine for about an hour, then flamenco, parrots, etc. Much more entertaining to stroll along the promenade above the beach to let your dinner settle. Drink prices at the hotel were very reasonable (small beer 1.25 euros, large 2.40)
Have stayed in many hotels of a similar standard around the Med, and found this one slightly below par compared to the others.

We had been worried about other reports after we booked - no need the hotel was great, very clean in all areas and the food was very good, varied and excellent quality.

Some parts of the area and building could do with a little upgrade but this was not a problem.

Location was ideal for what we wanted just a short walk 5 mins to beach, shops, bars etc.

Staff great although bar staff not over attentive.

Entertainment not as good as others we have visited but the Flamenco show, Parrot show and the magicians worth watching.

Would have no problems in visiting the hotel again

We have just came back from our holiday at the Siroco hotel.

We have visited Benalmadena twice a year for the past 10 years and this was our first time in this hotel.

The room was cleaned every day and fresh towels left.The food was an excellent standard we always go to private accomodation as we have never found hotel food to be that great but the siroco was an exception.

The food was to a very high standard with lots of choice, we never had to eat out once. The location is excellent as you are within distance of the marina but also close to arroyo de la miel.The staff were always friendly.

The hotel had entertainment for young and old alike every evening. I would visit this hotel again.Infact I hope to do so in the near future.

We stayed half board and thought the food/choices good. The hot food was hot, salad bar delicious and the desserts extremely good. They also had a separate grill bar with a chef cooking meats/fish fresh to order, which we mainly used.

The rooms were clean although we were a little disappointed with ours as we had booked and paid for a superior room and expected it to be above average which it wasn
