Lovely apartment in front of the sea

Pros: The best part about this apartment is the view from the balcony, which was big enough to have a table with four chairs. It was also a good size, close to the beach, in a building with a great swimming pool (including swim-up bar!) and the host was nice and accessible/helpful when needed. Cons: the place could have been cleaner and is a little old. (The air conditioner looked ancient but did work well.) Some small things could be fixed easily, such as replacing the old, rusted-out garbage can in the bathroom or the cheap plastic dish drying rack with a nicer one. Also, while the host walked us through the property when we got there, which was nice, she spoke Italian so it was hard for us to communicate in person. (We were able to communicate well in writing on the VRBO site though).

Small, clean, affordable, central. Fine for 2-4 people wanting to self cater in the centre of Benalmadena. A bit cramped if 4 adults as the main living space doubles up as a bedroom by turning the sofa into 2 single beds which then fills the room so you really need to put it away each morning. Air con unit is on the balcony so if you want to sit out there you need to switch it off indoors or you get blasted with the hot air. Pools great for families but worth knowing that loungers are not free. There were a couple of deck chairs in the apartment we could use and there are plenty of grassy areas to lay a towel down. You cannot use floaties in the pool. It is not a non-smoking accommodation.

This was a great place and met all our needs. Property owner was easy to deal with. The view from the balcony could not have been nicer.

A cozy apartment with beach view, very secure building .it was a great location for touring the Malaga area , and day trips to Gibraltar and Granada.I appreciated the host Donatella meeting me at the property for keys and information about Benalmadena!

This little apartment was perfect. From the location to the items and equipment provided. Everything we needed was in the apt. It was quiet and cosy and the views from the balcony were amazing.

Fantastic stay, the host welcomed us at the apartment with the keys, a lovely kind lady who showed us everything round the place. A very comfortable apartment on the 7 th floor with great views of the ocean. I am sure we will come back to Benal Beach soon.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent. Beautiful lake and park to stroll through on one side and Mediterranean beaches on the other side. Great view from balcony. Using a bus pass was really convenient to travel.

Donatella was a very friendly host of apartment. She met us at reception on arrival and brought us to the apartment. Showed us around gave us our card to enter premises which worls on all gates and the swimming pool passes. The apartment was so clean and fresh. Anything you needed was there. Great location overlooking the beach. The main promenade and beach is just across the main road. Plenty of shops, bars and supermarkets close at hand. Would highly recommend to a family of 4.

Our family of four had the most relaxing 10 days. Spent between the beach and the pools, we had all we needed within a short distance. The apartment had everything we needed to cook most nights.

Love the view of the Mediterranean Sea from the balcony as well as the morning sunshine. Apartment was well suited for couples with ample place to be comfortable. We love Benalmadena and it’s proximity to Malaga
