audbod - how I envy you. In my opinion La Carrihuela is much nicer than the centre of both Torremolinos & Benalmadena. Two years ago we stayed B & at the El Tiburon for Easter, & had a great price going DIY with Travel Republic. The accommodation is not 5 star but its very central for all bars & restauarants and just round the corner from the beach. My sister Shirley h has put a review in the Costa Del Sol hotel section on here. If you google El Tiburon I think its the Travel Republic site that comes up 1st & the link takes you straight to the El Tiburon. Good luck in your search.

Where abouts or which apartment/hotel are your friends staying in.? Is it just you that's needing accomodation.?
Tony, I think Mary Wallace is quite expensive, although Carihuela gardens apartments are beautiful inside, had a guided tour when the building was first opened.

Hi,
the El Tiburon (bed and breakfast) Helen mentioned was as cheap as a lot of the self catering places there. I wouldn't discount it because it's B&B and would say that it's worth looking at the review(s). If we were to return to La Carihuela we would def consider going back here.

El Pinillo, any ideas how long a walk into Carihuela?

Oooh, too far away.
Carihuela Park Palace is situated on Calle Miami, same street as el Hotel Tiburon, but further down heading towards Torremolinos.
I've marked Calle Miami in red.

I booked with the company below last year for an apartment in Imperial Puerto (just a short walk from Carihuela) and was delighted with the service and the accommodation itself. The apartment my wife and I were in could sleep five.

Can anyone recommend any nice bars/restaurants around this area please (including Benalmadena and Torre)

Many Thanks :)

Many will recommend the larger restaurants in Carihuela, but you wont go far wrong with the Bar Playa C/ Bulto. A small family run place max seating about 15-20.Good quality reasonable priced spanish food.

Is that 5 adults.?
If you're thinking of walking to see your friends every day......it's a fair trek from Arroyo to Calle Miami in La Carihuela and taxi fares will mount up...Arroyo is further away than el Pinillo
If you can't get in La carihuela, IMO you'd be better off looking at Montemar Alto or Torremolinos with a beach location on playa del Bajondillo, which is just around the the bit that sticks out on the map I posted....at least it will be flat to walk home on the promenade.

ive found availability in the Nucleo Cristal apartments in Carihuela, just waiting to hear if they will allow an extra bed, fingers crossed. Wouldnt be seeing our friends everyday if we stayed in Arroyo, just trawling the net and the area seemed nice and the apartment we are looking at is lovely, booked my flights , so il need to find somewhere now or it'l be a tent on the beach for us lol
