If you are ever going to stay at this hotel make sure you are fit and very healthy and don't have any breathing problems were you need to use inhalers, the road from the front up to the hotel should be named as Coronary Hill as this hill could lead and cause a person to have a heart attack, the side of the hotel where we where it was always in the shade, and another thing is advisable to bring earplugs because you find when people come in late they can be a bit nosy taking no thought for people trying to sleep, and people argueing during that time of the morning....

Best rooms are the pool view rooms and high floor for sea view and marina view

Problem with room temp in some rooms so pay more for poolside.x take a mozzie spray and spray your room..those wee bleeders can ruin a holiday.Good wee bar called Lilly Langrtys across rd if your hungry at lunchtime.good food and cheap beer!

Benalmadena is a nice relaxing resort.The promenade is a favourite walk for many with lots of bars/cafes competing for your custom.
You can get a coffee+brandy for 1.50 euro in winter and sit in the sun looking over the sea towards Africa.Recommended here,is"BENNYS" on the prom and CHA CHA'S(up the steps behind Bennys)who do a fab selection of tapas.
On Bonanza Square,"NORTH+SOUTH do great value meals and if you ask for a vodka+lemon you will have very little room in your glass to pour in the can of lemonade provided!
The Marina is worth a visit but a bit on the expensive side.Leather shoes and bags are plentiful and very reasonable here.If you are flying into Malaga and have to make your own way to Benalmadena you can save a fair bit by following the signs to the train station.
The trains leave the airport station at 14+44 mins past the hour to Arroyo del miel/Benalmadena(20 mins)Grab the lift there and there's is a taxi rank outside.It's about 6 euro down to Bonanza Sq.Tivoli World is near the station-good day out for the kids.
You generally feel very safe in this resort,but the day we arrived we met an elderly lady who had been mugged the evening before and sported a black eye as testament to her efforts to hang on to her handbag. She was in a party of four people,so there must be some desperate"druggies"around.BEWARE!

The entrance to Benal Beach is opposite Polomo Park. This is a really nice park to walk through and take some bread to feed the ducks and swans, see the turtles in the pond, lots of cockerals and hens run freely around as well as some rabbits.
We have been to Banalmadena several times and really enjoy staying there, going around the marina and as it is very easy to go to other parts of the Costa from there.

Found the area we were in very quiet.
Nice walk down the promenade to the marina which took about half an hour.
Little beachside restaurants and english eateries on the way. Marina very lovely to look at at night.
Never went right into the centre of Nenalmadena to comment on resort entertainment.

Benalmadena we found excellent. Resort areas were generally clean but some dirty areas as well. Resort entertainment plenty to do even though it was out of season.
Not a lot to do if you had kids.(In fairness we were'nt really looking).They have Tivoli World theme park and Selwo animal park so I would imagine in the summer months when it is more family orientated there will be loads to do.The resort has the proud distinction of having one of the most beautiful boating marinas anywhere in the world and having been to see it you can understand why. Absolutely fabulous.
Beach standards we have been on better and we have been on a lot worse.lots of rubbish in certain areas with cigarette ends and unfortunately one part seemed to be a lovers paradise going off the number of condoms left behind.
On the whole we would visit again but will not be doing so for a while.

Resort was very quiet with it being out of season,plenty of eating and drinking places. Resort was clean enough, usual bit of litter lying about, beach seemed clean enough, not much entertainment probably because of time of year, would go back again.

The resort was great, we had a full week visiting different places each day, Sea world and the marina was a favourite of ours.
Being November Tivoli world only opened on a sunday which we was dissappointed in, although the friday market was good and the cable cars were an experiance.
Fuengerola zoo was fantastic, we stayed there all day,
Selwo was also a great day for us, we watched the sealions and dolphins performing they were amazing.
Will certainly head back to Benalmadena in the near future.

I love Benalmadena, I keep going back for more. The marina is lovley in the evening, make sure you visit at least once. If your bit of a party animal like me, head for the 24hr sq, its great, bars on one side, Mango, Zona and beer keller on the other.
If you like kareoke head for Buzbys, not far from the sq, it has a wicked atmosphere and is open untill 3am everyday. Shopping is really good in Torremolinos and only 5 minutes on ths bus or by taxi.
If you love shopping there is a outdoor complex called Plaza Mayor, it has lovely restaurents and bars and Nike town, which is much cheaper than the UK. You can get her by the Train that runs from Malaga to Fuingorola or by taxi.
I have booked to go back In Sep 06 and will be staying in the siroco, so bang, central, am sooooo excited, counting down already. I hope you love it as much as me.
