As Tenerife veterans and having been there in May we thought it was time for a change and a shorter flight

We are staying at the Las Arenas and have heard/read some decent reviews so looking forward to it.
Question time:
Can you get the train from the airport to Benalmadena been told its cheaper than a taxi or using Resort Hopper, is it a the best way to get there and does anybody know the prices .?
How central to everything is Las Arenas ?.
Is the weather as good as we've been lead to believe ?.
What is the entertainment like, i.e. bands & acts in bars etc. ?.
Any recommendations on bars/pubs or eateries ?.
Appreciate any feedback.
