Good Points

Staff & Reps couldn't have been more helpful, Site really clean, room cleaned daily. Excellent security - security staff on gates to site. Good choice of snacks and local drinks available (including some cocktails!). Good choice of food in restaurant. No problems with arrival at airport and hotel or the transfer. Check in was a little slow.


Bad Points

Although weather excellent - 80 to 90 degrees - pool was freezing (although lots of people did use it!) - Pool in health spa available, but must use bathing caps! Don't leave checking out until the very last minute - this was more time consuming than we expected.


General Comments

Stayed for 1 week at the Holiday Village Apartments, Benalmadera - came back 21 May. 2 adults, 1 14 ear old. All inclusive - wouldn't like to be self catering - shop on site really expensive (but aren't they always when on site!) - Bus to Fuengirola (15 minutes away) was 1.30 Euro, bus which went to centre of Benalmadena (5 minutes away) & on to Torresmolinos (20 minutes) was 1.15 Euros regardless of how far you went. Food shops there cheaper.
On all inclusive had lounge, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and verandah. 2 small bottles of water, small bottle of coke and carton of fruit juice placed in fridge daily provided you've used the old ones. Can choose to eat at the Italian or Mexican restaurant once a week - book early! Themed nights every night in main restaurant.. Deposit taken by hotel covers t.v. remote and pool towel vouchers - these can only be collected/exchanged at certain times of the day!
On arrival at hotel can pay to ensure whole family have seats together on place 8 Euros per adult 5 Euros per child - useful when you can't guarantee getting to the airport early.. Loved the holiday - Wouldn't hesitate to go again!.
