Hotel Benalma Costa Del Sol

Brilliant week in June, stayed B&B,hotel was clean and the rooms, modern and all with sea view,it’s a little out of the way so we made use of the buses and taxis to get inoythe centres,ideal if you want a flop n drop holiday All Inclusive as the food at breakfast was lovely.

Always wonder if the pictures do a place justice when you see their website. However, this hotel did not disappoint, from the view checking in, views from our room, the bar area and the dining room. Just beautiful. The staff in all areas of the hotel are friendly and helpful, to the point where the restaurant staff knew our room number, bar staff knew our drinks which is no mean feat when they are dealing with so many people. The Nix Bar on the 12th floor is a secret escape both in the day and the cocktails are fabulous up there on the night and if you are all inclusive you get them half price. Note the day time the bar doesn't open up there, but there are lots of sunbeds and a sea breeze. The sun rises are magical. As ever the all inclusive offers a plethora of choice in the main restaurant something for everyone. The all inclusive wines were a treat, as normally the house wine isn't up to much and they have a full wine list which you can also purchase from. We also ate lunch at Bonita Beach Bar which was great and had dinner in the Thai - the soup was something i would like to go back and have again and again. The portions are huge. Went to watch the entertainment a couple of nights and Alisha the singer was brilliant and great fun. There are 2 pools at the property, one adult and one family which has a bar, snacks, waterslide and lady called Claudia who does the games and pool gym. This pool has to be accessed off the hotel property which is gated and sits right on the sea. There is disabled access all around the hotel, as i was looking at it to see if could take my mom and her wheelchair and i believe this would be very possible. As this hotel sits a little outside the main town, the surrounding area is a little quieter and doesn't have the hustle and bustle, but does have a couple restaurants and a supermarket that sells everything. We walked into the Marina a couple of times and it took about an hour, My only issue was the coffee machine in the restaurant, i wanted better coffee, but it didn't matter.
