We arrived at Benal Beach Apartments on Monday 21 March 2005 and stayed for 6 days.
We found the apartment clean and adequately equipped. The view from the apartment was wonderful.
The only criticism we had was the cleanliness of the public areas. The corridors were tatty and not very clean, they were also very dimly lit. There is a lot of glass in and around the complex which looks as if it has not been cleaned in years.
We have stayed in Benalmadena many times before and always enjoy the resort.

The hotel was great, apart from no entertainment. Probably later in the year they would have entertainment.
Didn't go to the bar, as my children don't like being in bars.
The apartment was lovely and exceptionally clean. I really can't emphasis how clean the place was. I was pleasantly surprised. We had a lovely view over the pool, which was very big with a few slides.
The only thing was the depths of the pool. It changed suddenly, so if children weren't good swimmers, they would get caught out.
The hotel is on a hill but most are, it wasn't too bad. I had a baby in a buggy and I didn't find it difficult.
The staff were very nice.
I'd definitely go back to this hotel but probably later on in the year.

I rented a studio apartment which was well equipped and spotlessly clean.
Entertainment was not what I was looking for as my daughter and family live up the hill and I spent time with them. Plenty of good Spanish bars and restaurants and beautiful park in walking distance.
The pool was not open at that time of year, but I have it on the authority of my grandchildren it is splendid.
The hotel was quiet when I was there, and when my electricity went one morning, an electrician turned up within ten minutes, and fixed it in 5 minutes. Cannot beat that!
I would return, in fact I hope to book for May for 10 days.

We stayed at Benal Beach, flew with Thompson and rented privately.The pools are the best I have seen anywhere in europe and only bettered in the States and Cancun.The hotel location is a bit on the steep side but is close to the beach. I believe the locals call the hill up to the Village cardiac way.There was good free entertainment on the terrace bar every night with a different act, flamenco, magician, Brazillian dancers etc C/W a resident group. We had to pay for the use of the gymnasium, squash, heated indoor pool etc but all were excellent.

Booked accommodation and flights independantly via internet and decided to go for this hotel as it had a massive swimming pool complex, which was its best feature, perfect for keeping kids entertained during the day.
The shop at the bottom was handy to get some essentials in on first day, of if you ran out.
Didn't bother with entertainment, though it looked a bit naff and wouldn't have done much to amuse my two boys (7 & 9)
Hotel room had view over sea front and no noise from neighbours.
Saw one coachroach in complex during the week & he stayed on a neighbours doorframe for a few days.

Benal Beach is a really pleasant place to spend your holiday. The apartments are a good size and have a fully equipped kitchen and a good sized bathroom. The hotel was clean and bright and very friendly without staff being intrusive. Although the hotel didn't provide on site entertainment it is within walking distance of a mutltitude of bars and restaurants that will suit anyones personal tastes. It is only a short walk away from the main late night bar areas but far enough to provide a peaceful retreat for those who like the quiet life. The views from the hotel are great no matter the location of the room and it is placed next to a large park area. It is a really good central base for any holiday and I would recommend it to anyone.

Benal Beach was an RCi bonus week for me (I knew that it wasn't going to be the best hotel, but I know the Costa del Sol well and it was the location I was after). we stayed ther for 4 days and it was a fantastic break.
The hotel was situated about 5 minutes walk from the beach and not far from Tivoli world (theme park). The hotel has a supermarket on the ground floor, so no 10 mile hike for your groceries. True, there was no entertainment and it one pub which played music from the dark ages. This did have it's advantages because the hotel was extremely quiet during the evenings and you could have a good nights sleep.
If you do want the nightlife there are loads of bars just down along the main street and you've a nice 10 minute stroll to the Marina. If you've got kids then the hotel pools are brilliant with water slides etc..and the hotel has life guards which is unusual. All together for the price I think that this hotel would be the base of a great family holiday..tire the kids out during the day at the great pool and just relax at night.

VERY large complex so don't forget anything if you go out and are situated on the top floor!!!
It was OK but very noisy. Also a lot of spanish have there own apartments and do tend to eat out on the balcony's until VERY late. All in all ok but would not return or recommend.
