Hotel Best Benalmadena

We stayed for 12 nights for an all inclusive break in September. Arriving on a Sunday afternoon we initially thought we had made a mistake, the pool area was really busy and noisy, with music blaring from speakers. Having travelled since 5am we just wanted to chill. The next day however we found the grass area which was a much quieter spot. There were always plenty of sunbeds available, any time of the day. Towels are available for a 10 euro pp deposit. The bar staff work so hard and are to be commended for the speed of service. The restaurant offered a great variety of food. We did overhear people complaining about the quality and variety, but we totally disagreed. There is a cooking station and every evening there is a themed menu. We didn't have one poor meal. We stayed in room 1123, side view of the sea. The view was specular with beautiful sunrises. Extremely quiet at night, we were never disturbed. Views from the pool area and restaurant are also great. It's a 40 minute walk to the marina which is lovely for a mooch around. We also caught the bus to Malaga right outside the hotel, 1.70 euros each. We booked a trip to Gibraltar and again, the bus picked us up on the opposite side of the road from the hotel. On our last night we had a fabulous dinner at La Cala, next door. Again, stunning views!

We went as a family of four. Our room was very big with 2 double beds, a seating area and also a sofa area. We had a sea view room and that was just amazing. The sea was very close and at night, we would step onto the balcony and just hear the waves of the sea crash onto the beach. We really loved our room. Breakfast had so much variety- scrambled eggs, omelette (cooked by the chef), boiled eggs, fried eggs. bacon, sausages, baked beans. There was pancake, yoghurts, fruits, all types of breads, coffee machine, juice, pastries, churros, salads and so much more. There was everything for everyone and it was all buffet so you could eat as much as you like. Dinner was buffet too and there was so much food as well- fish, chicken, pork, beef, paella, pasta, rice, noodles, salads, soups, bread, different types of desserts, etc. We had a really good stay at the hotel. There was also entertainment every night at the bar, although we only went once. There are swimming pools, outdoor jacuzzi and an indoor spa (jacuzzi, sauna). The spa comes at a charge of 15 euros per person. There is a bus stop a few minutes' walk from the hotel with buses going into town, etc.

We arrived at 1-30 & were pleased our room was ready, we were surprised to find a bottle of fizz in our room. Liked very much that the towels actually went round my body 🤗 We were in a room with 2 single beds but they were like 2 doubles 🤭 we had a bed each. Also the Car parking was free 😳 until herd of these days

Hotel room and views were fab.Food was good we only had breakfast included but good selection to pick from just some of hot food wasn't really hot.made to order pancakes and omelettes were good. Room cleaned every day. The girl in the spa was talented she did everything between massage ,hairdressing ,nails . The reception staff were polite and helpful .

Food very good, different each day, thematic. Live concerts each evening. Room cleaning every day (one weeks person not very clean, but when week changed, cleaned very well). Ordered 2 rooms, asked one with double bed. Thought it is not offered at booking, but I got big bed 2x2 m. Kids room got two beds (2x1.4m I guess). Like I wanted
