Palmasol Hotel Benalmádena, Benalmádena

The hotel offers beautiful views of the marina from the clean and well-equipped rooms, but the facilities are old and disappointing. The all-inclusive option may not be worth it due to understaffing issues at the bar. The food is good, but the dining experience for soft drinks can be frustrating.

The hotel has a good location, near the marina and beach, with plenty of shops and bars. The rooms overlook a pool with a sea view, although some may face the street with bins. The service is accommodating, with a friendly maid, but lacks places to put belongings. The dining is varied with some cold dishes, and the pool is excellent. Overall, a nice place to stay with a few drawbacks but worth the value for money.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and offered a great view over the marine. However, the initial room had a strong cigarette smell, but the staff kindly changed us to a much better room with comfy double beds and a lovely power shower. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some issues with the initial room assignment. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the marina and the beach. The dining experience varied throughout my stay, with some excellent options but also some decline. Overall, the facilities were good, and there were both positive and negative aspects to highlight in different areas.
