I know this new hotel, the Riu Peurto Marina (Benalmadena) is opening in June 2005, but can anyone give any info about it.

I was planning to go s/c in January (Principito apartments), but this may be too good to pass by.

Thanks in advance,

Robby :wink:

Hi,

I'm staying at the RIU Puerto Marnina Hotel in Benalmadena in the next fews weeks and wondered if anyone had stayed there. Was it nice as the pictures look good. Are men allowed to wear denims/jeans in the dining room as we don't want to take fancy clothes with us.

Also, what will the weather be like last week in October / first week in November. I went to Costa Almeria at time last year and was told that it would be cold but it was 30 degrees during the day but chilly and windy at night.

Thanks

Julie

I've not stayed in the hotel Riu Puerto Marina, but did have a good look around a few weeks back.
From what I saw, you should be ok with jeans, I saw men wearing vest type tops in the restaurant and in 4* hotels it is usually not allowed .certainly not in the 4* hotels that I go in.

It is a very nice hotel and is as good as the photos....although I did notice that they had erased the "burger king" illuminated sign from the skyline in some of the photos.... Burger King being just behind the hotel ....cheeky monkeys :roll:
I made a short video of the hotel, this can be found in the sticky at the top of the page, along with other videos or from HERE

The weather :shrug me personally, I would hope for the same weather as you had in the Costa Almeria and pack accordingly.

Stayed here for 9 nights last september,usual riu standard,clean well maintained rooms ,good food,helpful polite staff,close to marina,backs onto it and some rooms are close to a night club which goes on all night at weekends, very noisy for some rooms overlooking this club.Ask for rooms overlooking pool furthest from marina.
