Hotel Best Benalmádena

Food good. Staff friendly. Hotel very clean.

Not up to normal 4 star standard

Very clean with good staff

Too long to wait for the lifts. Quality, variety of food could be better

-The meals were great. Lots of selection and themed food nights ; spanish, Asian, ethnic etc. They would have music and decorations to match that theme. - Any room cleaning staff that we met were lovely. The rooms were always left very clean. - Lovely sea view from room. - Juanmi at the bar was the nicest staff member we met. Super pleasant and efficient. I hope his employers recognise what an asset he is to them. Maybe he could teach Francisco

- It is advertised as beach front but I'd say sea front is more apt. - we enjoyed the hotel but it would not be a 4 star. Maybe 3. - we had a tiny baby with us but were positioned above a noisy bar and had no kettle in the room to make baby bottle etc. A kettle could be rented at cost and with a deposit. When paying all inclusive I think rooms should have some more facilities ; kettle,iron etc - the lifts take forevvvvvver! As we had a baby in a pram we hadn't the option to take the stairs. To get to breakfast/dinner etc we would have to take a lift to reception level, then a different lift to the restaurant level. Each of these lifts at times took approx 15mins. Anyone with a newborn will understand the frustration at standing around for close to 30minutes just to get your crying baby back to your room!

I was expecting a quiet relaxing stay along the coast however this is a family hotel and there were many children by the pool, in the restaurant, in the bars... great hotel for families, do not recommend for couples or friends travelling without kids
