NIce Apartment in Benalmadena
Review Submitted: July 12, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
My partner and I have just returned from a fortnights holiday in the apartment and we had a fantastic time. Benalmadena is a pleasant place for a holiday, with both superb beaches and a marina, quiet if you want to relax and chill out, yet has many bars and restaurants along the seafront if you wish to enjoy a more vibrant atmosphere. The apartment itself is ideally situated in Benalmadena and everything is close by and in walking distance; shops, restaurants and the beach. The marina is also walkable. On arrival the owner, Barbara, met us and made us feel very welcome. The apartment was clean and tidy, pretty much as the pictures show, although it is showing it’s age now. The balcony has the most fantastic views of Benalmadena, especially at nightime when all the lights come on and the moon is glistening over the sea. There is a large communal swimming pool in the garden and it was great to sunbathe, relax and take a dip in the pool to cool down. If you do stay here make sure you take a trip to the 14th floor on the roof top terrace, the views are breathtaking and very peaceful.
We only had a couple of minor issues and some of these are outside the owners responsibilty. The shower cubicle was very very small and the cooking facilities were a little on the disapointing side for a self catering apartment in comparison with other apartments we have stayed at, but with some nice cafes and restaurants around and reasonably priced eating out was not an issue and it got me out of washing up. The two hotels immediately below the apartment both had loud evening outdoor shows every night, so the competing noise became a little intrusive in the evenings and sometimes in the afternoons, however we got over this by going into town !! The hills in Benalmadena are everywhere and are quite steep and long so be prepared for some excercise, we certainly did ! Overall, we had a fantastic time and would not only recommend this apartment but also Benamadena as well.
